Meet Taylor Baird — Your Stittsville Athletic Therapist

BSc Human Kinetics — University of Ottawa  |  Athletic Therapy — Sheridan College

Taylor discovered her passion for rehabilitation while studying Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa, where she was selected as a student therapist for the Women's Basketball team. That experience led her to Sheridan College to earn her Athletic Therapy Certification, where she worked with everyone from university athletes to industrial workers and desk-bound professionals. A former varsity soccer player and multi-sport coach, Taylor brings an athlete's mindset to every treatment. Her philosophy is simple: get your body to move the way it was intended to — through joint awareness, mobility, and stability.

Athletic Therapy FAQ — Stittsville

Athletic therapists specialize in musculoskeletal injuries — sprains, strains, overuse injuries, joint dysfunction, and post-injury rehabilitation. Taylor works with everyone from competitive athletes to weekend warriors and active professionals dealing with pain from sport, work, or daily life.
Both are hands-on rehabilitation, but athletic therapy focuses specifically on musculoskeletal injuries and return-to-activity, while physiotherapy covers a broader scope including chronic pain, post-surgical rehab, and neurological conditions. At BTB we offer both — if you're unsure, book with either practitioner and we'll point you in the right direction. Compare both services here.
Many extended health plans cover athletic therapy, though coverage varies more than physiotherapy. Check your benefits under "athletic therapy" or "kinesiology." Taylor's CAT(C) designation is recognized by most major insurers. If your plan doesn't cover athletic therapy, our physiotherapist Megan Wallenius offers the same quality of musculoskeletal care under physio coverage.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Taylor through our online booking system. Some insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement — check your specific plan details.
Absolutely. Despite the name, athletic therapy treats anyone with a musculoskeletal issue. Taylor has worked with desk workers, industrial employees, and everyday active people — not just competitive athletes. If you have joint pain, a sprain, a strain, or a movement limitation, athletic therapy can help.
It depends on your injury, goals, and how your body responds. Taylor will give you an honest estimate during your initial assessment. Many acute injuries improve significantly within 4–6 sessions, while chronic or complex issues may need longer support.
Wear comfortable, athletic clothing you can move freely in. Taylor will need to assess your movement patterns and may need access to the area of concern. If you're coming straight from work, you're welcome to change here.
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages of having an athletic therapist in a gym. Taylor can prescribe exercises that you complete on our gym floor, and when you're ready to graduate from rehab, our coaching team is right here to keep you progressing.
