Eric Bucci, AThletic Therapist

"Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist's goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back"

Eric Bucci is born and raised in the Hamilton/Stoney Creek area but lived in St. Catharines while he attended Brock University. He graduated with a Kinesiology Degree and went on further to complete his second degree in Athletic Therapy from Sheridan College. He is excited to move his practice back to the city of St. Catharines which he called home for 4 years.
Eric’s experience in professional sports includes working with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, Red Bull Crashed Ice, and Canada's National Men's and Women's Indoor Field Hockey teams. He also has 5 years of clinical experience providing top quality athletic therapy treatments and programs to patients of all ages and walks of life, but specializing in elite athletics. Eric is trained to recognize, treat, and clear athletes for sport following a concussion, sprain/strain, or any injury associated with sports and activities of daily living. His treatment philosophy involves a healthy balance between manual therapy, modality use, and therapeutic exercise prescription to provide patients with a rapid and efficient recovery from injury, as well as facilitating their return to work, sport, or every day life.
Eric is an absolute sports junkie - and uses his passion for sports to drive his practice as an Athletic Therapist. ​
