SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

Don’t let injuries stop you from living an active, healthy lifestyle. Let our team of physiotherapists, massage therapists and movement specialists help you recover from injuries you’ve experienced and where possible prevent new ones from occurring.

OPTIMIZING YOUR SPORTS PERFORMANCE

At Propel Physiotherapy, our skilled professionals take an active approach when working with all clients regardless of their previous level of activity. We provide the same care to armchair athletes as we do professionals. Our physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and kinesiologists have advanced training in developing programs to help clients set and reach their goals.

Movement is the foundation for our rehabilitation programs and we take that seriously. When working with an athlete, we consider a number of factors in developing a program, including type of sport, current functional level and how the injury has affected movement, future goals, emotional state, current atypical movement patterns.

We understand how the past, present and future can affect a person’s recovery and provide a space where client’s feel comfortable sharing as much information as is necessary during our assessment. This allows us to put together a program that is right for you.
