Use Them Before You Lose Them with Sheddon Physio Clinics in Oakville and Burlington

The adage “prevention is better than cure” has stood the test of time because it is true. Preventative physical therapy reduces injuries by at least 40% according to studies by the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine.
How?”, you ask. The answer lies in strengthening your body, increasing its mobility, and picking up the possibility of future problems before they become big issues.

In other words, prevention is key when it comes to good health. Just because you don’t have an injury doesn’t mean you don’t need physiotherapy, athletic therapy, massage, or chiropractic care.

Not Injured and Want to Stay That Way?

Did you know that approximately 4.3 million nonfatal sports or recreation-related injuries are seen in emergency departments across the United States every year? At the same time, research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that more than 50% of these injuries are preventable.

Your musculoskeletal system uses muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones etc.to keep your body stable while allowing for movement at the same time. Risk factors for injuries to this network may be:

  • Internal
    • Age and gender
    • Health and physical fitness – diet, medication, sleep patterns
    • Anatomy – posture, previous injuries, tight muscles, strength deficits, imbalances, poor proprioception, and a lack of stability
    • Psychological influences – beliefs, fears, outside demands
  • External
    • Type of sport – sport-specific movements
    • Use of protective equipment
    • Environment – training volume, load, intensity
    • Playing situation and opponent behavior.

At Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinics Oakville and Burlington, we assess and treat these issues PRIOR to an injury to ensure you stay active and healthy:

  • Determine the prevalence and incidence of past injuries
  • Identify the cause and mechanism of past injuries
  • Evaluate current physical factors with functional movement screens to identify at risk athletes, sport specific assessments, etc.
  • Implement a unique injury prevention strategy including targeted exercise programs and rehabilitation, as well as preventative massage therapy and core strengthening.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plan.

Sheddon Physio Clinics Have You Covered!

Don’t wait until you need physical therapy to help you recover from an injury or illness. Instead, be proactive and book a session (or few) of physical treatments that will keep your body healthy and prepare it for the physical activities you enjoy.

Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinics Oakville and Burlington offers expertise in:

  • Physiotherapy reduces your risk of injury by enhancing your range of motion, flexibility, strength, and balance.
  • Chiropractic adjustments realign your spine to improve your nerve function, increase mobility in your joints, and attain ideal biomechanics. All this works towards maximizing your strength, agility, endurance, and overall performance.
  • Athletic therapy uses individualized injury prevention programs that include exercises, stretching, and nutrition recommendations.
  • Massage therapy is well known for accelerating healing after an injury. But did you know that it also breaks down adhesions that may inhibit your range of motion? Massage also preserves the health of your muscles by boosting oxygen and nutrient rich blood flow. Massage therapy avoids muscle fatigue by encouraging the circulation of lymph – clearing out waste and lactic acid.
  • Pedorthics help you adjust, fix, or compensate for physiological quirks in your feet. Building up your shoes makes sure they offer enough cushioning, support, and stability to prevent sports injuries.
  • Sports medicine physicians treat orthopedic injuries and the musculoskeletal system. To ensure your peak performance, these specialist doctors develop personalized regimes so that you train your body in the most effective and efficient manner.

Having all these disciplines under one roof makes it more convenient for patients, and easier for therapists, to collaborate and communicate together to provide a more thorough approach to your rehabilitation. Oftentimes, your treatment plan may include more than one professional to best meet your goals.
