Carter Hildebrand wants you to move and more importantly, he wants you to move with confidence and comfort. As a Certified Athletic Therapist and BSc graduate from the University of Winnipeg, Carter brings a movement-first approach to musculoskeletal injury, rehabilitation, and performance. He currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Manitoba Athletic Therapy Association and has worked across a wide range of sporting environments including hockey, football, volleyball, basketball, and soccer -but his clinical work extends well beyond the athletic world.
One of the things Carter is most passionate about clarifying is this: Athletic Therapy is not just for athletes.
If you’re dealing with a musculoskeletal injury, trying to understand why something hurts, or simply wanting to move through your life with more freedom and less pain, Carter’s practice is built for you. His sessions are collaborative and active, weaving together movement education, soft tissue release, cupping, and biomechanical taping with open conversation and real problem-solving. His goal is never just to fix a symptom, it’s to give you the knowledge and tools to understand your body and maintain the gains long after you leave the clinic. Carter’s guiding principle is what he calls “strength through range” building mobility and the confidence and capacity to use it fully.
Who is Carter outside of the clinic?
You’ll often find Carter on the volleyball or basketball courts, on his bike, or skiing in the winter. At home, he’s a dedicated dog person, with his dog Dune taking up a large chunk of his time. Something that might surprise his clients? While sports are a huge part of his identity, Carter also has a long history in choir and musical theatre. If he’s not watching The Sopranos, he’s likely out for a long walk with Dune.
Why work with Carter?
Whether you’re a youth athlete recovering from your first injury or an older adult looking to stay active for decades to come, Carter meets you where you are and works toward where you want to be. If you’ve been told to rest and wait it out, Carter has a different idea.
