Words from our from our athletes

  • Brian H

    “This injury was suffered playing hockey and prevented me from exercising in any way for almost three months. It was extremely difficult for me to live without sports, crossfit and all the other activities I enjoy as part of my normal life. Don was compassionate, yet realistic with his approach to my recovery. He was brutally honest when he had to be, but assured me that staying the course was the only way to get back to what I love. He was absolutely right. By following his advise and the recovery plan he developed specifically for me, I was back to 100% even faster than he initially predicted. Rehab is hard, but I truly saw the light at the end of the tunnel thanks to them”

  • Mark M

    “They worked with me throughout my recovery process, allowing me to get back to crossfit. They provided me with exercises to improve from my initial baseline and reduce the risk of injury in the future.

    One of the most helpful tools was the app which shared my daily programming. This allowed me to reach out anytime with questions on specific exercises or comments on how these were feeling and get feedback between in-person sessions.

    The clinic is incredibly nice, and the whole team is passionate about helping people recover/train smarter.”

  • Hilary W

    “Great experience. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Working with Jess helped rehab my knee and get me back to doing all the things I wanted to including crossfit. Worth the time and investment.”

  • Gabriela B

    “Jess @ The Movement got me back to doing what I love, weightlifting, in such a friendly, compassionate, attentive and knowledgeable manner. Thank you for being incredible at what you do! I recommend The Movement to anyone with issues a physio can be helpful with.”

FAQs

Can I continue training while injured?

In most cases, yes—but it depends on the injury. At The Movement Physiotherapy & Performance, we believe in keeping athletes moving whenever possible. Pain during training is often a sign that something needs to be adjusted. This might mean modifying your training load, altering specific movements, or temporarily focusing on other areas of fitness while we help you recover. Our aim is to guide you through rehab without unnecessary time away from your sport, using evidence-based strategies to ensure a safe and effective return to peak performance.

What might training modifications look like during rehab?

Training modifications are highly individual and depend on your sport and specific injury. For example, a runner with knee pain might focus on controlled strength exercises like Bulgarian split squats or step-ups before returning to full mileage. A hockey player with shoulder pain may modify upper body movements to include controlled isometric holds or lower resistance training. At The Movement Physiotherapy & Performance, we prioritize educating our athletes on how to adjust their training in real-time and work closely with coaches when necessary to ensure a seamless transition from rehab to performance.

Why include strength training when I already train regularly for my sport?

Sport-specific training often emphasizes skill development and sport demands, which can sometimes overlook specific areas of strength development necessary for injury recovery and prevention. Our physiotherapy approach includes targeted strength and conditioning to address weaknesses or imbalances that may have contributed to injury. This structured, progressive strength training ensures your body can handle the demands of your sport, reducing the risk of re-injury and enhancing overall performance. Our goal is to build a strong foundation so you can return to your sport confidently and sustainably.
