Sports Physiotherapy
Our Orthopedic Sports Physiotherapists have post-graduate training and experience in sports rehabilitation. The rehabilitation principles applied with the athlete carry over to any person who has had a musculoskeletal injury. Taping or bracing options are similar whether it be a hockey player with a sprained knee or someone who twisted their knee while putting out the garbage. Our Sport Physiotherapists will design a “return to sport” or “return to life/work” rehabilitation/exercise program to ensure success and avoid re-injury.
A thorough understanding of the symptoms of concussion and its current treatment protocols allows the Sport Physiotherapist to provide proper guidance to not only the athlete that has sustained a concussion in sport but also any person who may have suffered a head injury at work, in a motor vehicle accident or from a fall.
Types of Sports Injuries
- Sprains
- eg. knee ligaments (ACL, MCL, LCL), rotator cuff, ankle, skiers thumb, hip, low back
- Strains

Benefits of Sports Physiotherapy
No matter the type of injury, the goal of sports physiotherapy is to reduce pain and swelling, support proper healing, maintain fitness while injured, re-gain strength and range of motion and correct maladaptive movement patterns in the body that may have occurred. With an active, movement and exercise based approach, the athlete re-gains confidence and experiences a reduction in the anxiety that can sometimes occur while returning to sport. A customized rehabilitation plan works to ensure success in safely returning to sport while avoiding re-injury.
