At the New West Orthopaedic & Sports
Medicine Centre, we are committed to working with athletes. Our therapists have worked with the National Teams for Field Hockey, Curling, Soccer, Rugby, Gymnastics,
and Skiing. We also work closely with the B.C. Lions, the Vancouver
Whitecaps, and Olympic athletes from a wide variety of sports. However,
its not just professional or international level athletes who get our
attention. We see far more weekend warriors and little leaguers than
World Champions, and their successful rehabilitation can be just as
rewarding and just as challenging. Our treatment programmes are quickly
progressed to sport specific exercises and training techniques.
We have six physiotherapists working
at the clinic, all of whom are active with various sport and community
groups. Although our treatment choices will depend on an individual's
needs, we all believe strongly in exercise based treatment programs.
In addition to exercise prescription, we may choose from a wide repretoire
of manual therapy techniques, electrical modalities, ultrasound therapy,
cryotherapy, and consultation.
We strive to help our clients reach
their maximum physical potential following an injury or illness. We believe
our job is done only when we have provided the education required to
prevent problems in the future.
