Ontario Athletic Therapists' podcast welcomes Wheelchair Canada's Michael Frogley for a post-2026 Winter Paralympics discussion on para athletes, technology breakthroughs, and the role of Athletic Therapists in injury prevention and performance care.

Podcast Highlight
"One of the things I always said about our Athletic Therapists is they would have the final say in terms of go/no-go or play/no-play. And so while I might be, as a coach, wanting to play an athlete, what I always told our players was that if our athletic therapist said you were healthy to go, if they said you're not, you're not, that's it, full stop. So that's where I placed them in terms of the hierarchy and decision-making. They actually had final say on who was going to play, and they determined it," Mike Frogley.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month 💙

At the Ontario Sports and Athletic Therapists Association, we recognize the strength and resilience of individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. Movement is medicine—and Athletic Therapists play an important role in helping people with parkinson's maintain mobility, balance, and confidence through tailored exercise and rehabilitation programs.

Together, we can raise awareness, support our communities, and advocate for the power of active care in improving quality of life.

OSTA shoutouts to two members for their lifetime achievement recognition.

Frances A Flint: Peer Recognition for Dedication to Profession
This national recognition for Frances Flint is hard-earned and 30 years in the making. Frances was the first Ontario AT to take and pass the Canadian Red Cross First Responder course, originally available only to firefighters. She is also the First Ontario woman AT to be CATA president. She also served as OATA Chair.

Drew Laskoski: Community Recognition as a Sports Builder
A Builder is viewed not solely on the level of achievement, but most importantly on the significance and importance of their contribution to sport. The variety and the level of positions held, the importance of work done, awards and honours earned, advancements made and their role in provided opportunities are all important factors to consider. He is the longest serving president of the Ontario Athletic Therapy professional association.
