What's the Difference between ET, AT, OT, and PT?

Ever wondered what the difference is between Exercise Therapy (ET), Physiotherapy (PT), Athletic Therapy (AT), and Occupational Therapy (OT) — and where kinesiologists fit into it all? You’re not alone! In this episode, Addison and Sophia break down each profession in a clear, easy-to-understand way—covering what each role does, where they work, and how they support clients through injury recovery, rehab, and long-term wellness. From return-to-sport care and hands-on treatment, to building daily function and independence, we explore how these fields overlap—and why collaboration is key to better outcomes. Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, an athlete, or someone navigating rehab, this episode will help you understand who to see and when—plus how kinesiologists help bridge the gap between rehabilitation and real-life performance. 📲 Follow us on social media: @getamoveonpodcast ✅ Subscribe so you never miss another episode! 🎙️ Special thanks to the University of Regina’s podcast studio, Story Lab, for recording, producing, and editing this episode.

What is Imposter Syndrome?

In this episode of Get a Move On, Addison and Sophia dive into the topic of imposter syndrome — what it is, who experiences it, and why it’s not just something students or new grads face. From early career professionals to those who’ve been in the field for years, imposter syndrome can show up at any stage of a kinesiology career. We talk about practical strategies for managing self-doubt, the importance of mentorship and continuing education, and how building experience through fieldwork and volunteering can help strengthen confidence over time.
