Athletic Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland (ARTI) is the governing body responsible for the promotion, regulation, and continued education of Certified Athletic Therapists in Ireland.
ARTI is dedicated to ensuring that all Certified Athletic Therapists (CAT) provide the highest quality of healthcare to all patients and athletes. This is achieved by reinforcing the emphasis on evidence-based practice through mandatory continued professional development (CPD) and through the maintenance of emergency care certification.
According to the British Journal of Sports Medicine blog "Rehabilitation of athletes (recreational & professional) must be recognised as an advanced skill requiring specialist training." Athletic Therapy fulfills this, without requiring further postgrad studies.
