Therapy Registry

Sport Scientist Canada understands that it can be time consuming to vet appropriate therapists to work within a sport organization.

SSC has developed an in-house National Therapy Registry to assist/ease the NSO search. This Non-Public Registry consists of over 120 therapists (Athletic Therapists, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, and Physiotherapists). The registry includes therapists with sport experience in clubs, provincial, national, and professional level.

To access the National Therapy Registry, please follow the Registry Process:

1. Contact Remo Bucci, the SSC High-Performance Advisory Committee (HPAC) Sport Therapy Lead, at rbucci@csiontario.ca to enquire about potential therapist(s).
2. Include your selection factors (see below) when emailing Remo. Further discussion may be required.
3. Remo will filter the Registry based on the NSO request and provide the NSO with information about what therapist(s) would be appropriate. Remo will respond within 2-3 weeks of the request either by email and/or a meeting.
4. If the NSO agrees then Remo will connect the NSO to the therapist(s).

Please read below for more information on the 2 types of Therapy Registries.

• SSC Member Registry (includes High Performance Certification and Professional Sport Scientist Canada Members): This group consists of Therapists that are sport designated/working towards sport designation, and non-sport designated Therapists who are either currently/previously had a recent experience working with an NSO, Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), and/or Canadian Olympic Paralympic Sport Institute Network (COPSIN). A Professional Member, once they have worked consistently with an NSO(s) for 3 years then they can apply for the SSC’s High Performance Certification.
• Non-SSC Members Registry: Therapists completing this form have completed their sport designation from their respective Expert Group and want to work in High Performance sport. These Therapists are not affiliated with an NSO, COC, CPC, and/or COPSIN. If Therapists included in this Registry work with an NSO, they can apply (with a recommendation from their NSO) to Sport Scientist Canada and become Professional Members. This registry will be sent to the Expert Groups to be distributed to their members.
