Read from the 'Athletic Therapist' title page. 'Athletic therapist' and 'Certified athletic therapist (CAT)' are listed titles in NOC 31204 (https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/Structure/NOCProfile?GocTemplateCulture=en-CA&code=31204&version=2021.0); figures are identical to kinesiologist because both sit in the same group. Loose mapping: the group is not athletic-therapy specific. Toronto Region figures equal the Ontario figures. Reference period: 2023-2024. Source: Labour Force Survey - Statistics Canada. Job Bank page states 'These wages were updated on November 19, 2025.' Wages are set at the NOC unit-group level, so every job title in the group shows the same figures.

What affects pay

Setting

Hospitals, home health, skilled nursing and private outpatient clinics pay differently. Home and travel work often pays more per visit but carries mileage and unpaid admin time.

Experience and caseload

Pay climbs with years of practice and with specialist caseloads such as neuro, pelvic health or sport. Clinics that pay per patient reward a full schedule.

Location

Large metro areas and remote or rural postings usually pay above the national figure; the city table below shows one example where official data exists.
