Services

Our Certified Athletic Therapists are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s a mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that make Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all our clients and student-athletes.

Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. We treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to adults recovering from knee injuries, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even custom bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: our 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.

Our Massage Therapist manipulates the soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. The application of sport massage techniques to our patients enhance the their preparation for, or recovery from, the physical demands of training or competition. Our Massage Therapist is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with high performance stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.

Massage therapy can be used as a treatment for both acute and chronic conditions. Our Massage Therapists work with a wide variety of patients in the treatment of illness, injury rehabilitation, and disability. A referral or prescription is not required to visit an RMT, although some insurance companies may require this.

Our Kinesiologists use the science of human movement and exercise. Kinesiology uncovers the biomechanical, physiological, neurological, and psychosocial mechanisms that drive human function and performance. Our Kinesiologists assess human movement and performance to create programs to maintain, rehabilitate or enhance movement and performance.

All of our Kinesiologists are regulated with the College of Kinesiology of Ontario and adhere to the Regulated Health Professions Act of Ontario.

Managing a concussion and recovery can be daunting. We strive to help our patients identify a concussion, seek treatment methods if necessary, including appointments sport physicians in the area, and manage the return-to-learn and return-to-play process. We test for your symptoms, mental functions, balance, cervical spine, mood, response to exercise and neurological (brain) functions. Knowledge is power when it comes to concussion related-injuries and we are here to help educate. We follow the most up-to-date guidelines and recommendations from the International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport.

We measure and fit custom braces for all ligament and meniscus injuries and surgeries, as well as osteoarthritis unloading.

We use yoga to help our athletes become more mindful, more flexible, and more stable. Yoga flows can be powerful and aid in the strength and conditioning process. Controlling muscle and limb movements enhances athletic performance. Yin yoga teaches our athletes to hold their poses for extended amounts of time to really change the joints ability to move. This type of yoga is typically done in seated or lying, thus is a great counter to high intense training.
