Our story

SPORT Specialists

When we created The SPORT Specialists inc. in 2000, we wanted to create a place where you would receive our undivided attention, for the rehabilitation of your acute and chronic injuries. We also wanted to develop individualized exercise programs for you to help prevent any potential reoccurrences of your injury. Book an appointment and experience the difference our approach makes!

From the moment you walk into our clinic, you will feel welcomed and taken care of. We listen to your needs on a one-on-one basis, whether it’s for therapy, fitness, or improving sports performance.

At The SPORT Specialists inc., we work as a team and therefore we help one another and sometimes even tag team our clients to ensure we can provide you with the best care. Our common forms of therapy: athletic therapy, osteopathy and massage therapy in conjunction with scientific strength & conditioning, have great advantages and when used in conjunction with one another, will decrease recovery time and get you back to work or your sport as quickly as possible.

Frequent asked Questions

What is the difference between a physiotherapist and an athletic therapist?

Both professionals are extremely capable of assessing and treatment orthopaedic injuries. The physiotherapist can also work with burn victims, amputees, as well as in a hospital setting. An Athletic Therapist can work in a clinical setting, on the field with community, amateur and professional teams as well. They also have an in-depth knowledge of specialized exercises for rehabilitation and reconditioning so you can get back to your favourite activity and/or sport!

2. Is athletic therapy covered under my private insurance?

Yes it is covered by most insurance companies but the client should make sure by contacting your insurance provider. It depends on if the group plan has included it in your package.

3. Will I get some guided exercise plan to help the rehabilitation of my injury or improve my sports performance?

Absolutely! One of our specialities, along with our hands-on approach, is the accurate prescription and application of specific exercises to help you improve your injuries / fitness level. This little bit of homework is invaluable to your success!

4. Why is technique so important when executing my exercise routine?

Your therapist will prescribe exercises according to what you need. Although some exercises may look similar, there are specific instructions (foot, hand placement, stance, etc) that will be specific to your needs and not anyone else’s

5. Do I need a doctor’s note/referral to see one of your therapists?

No, you do not need a note/referral from your physician. Some people may have already seen their doctor and have been instructed to see on of our specialists, but it is not required.

6. Do I need a lot of equipment to do my prescribed exercises?

Not at all. When you are given your specific routine, your therapist will ask you what you have available (home gym, fitness centre, light weights, bands, etc) and tailor your routine to your own needs and wants.
