Unless you have been very fortunate, your body has rebelled against your athletic endeavors. When this happens, you will often hear me talk about visiting a good physiotherapist to get checked out.

They are the experts and can make athletics more enjoyable by helping you build a strong foundation or by addressing problem areas.

Wendy, Nadine and Nadine at Form Physiotherapy have been my go-to team for several years now. They have graciously provided the following list of reasons to visit a physiotherapist:

Starting a New Exercise Program?
Picking a New Activity Goal?

4 Reasons to Have a Physiotherapy Assessment
1. You are post natal and want to return to your fitness plan. Find out how stable you body is and how ready you are to return to a pre-pregnancy fitness regime; most importantly be certain you know how to selectively contract the muscles that make up the “inner unit” of your core.

2. You are an ‘aging’ athlete: find out how muscle length, muscle mass, balance, and function can be improved/maintained/maximized given your past history and current fitness levels.

3. You are making substantial changes in your fitness plan or goals, an assessment can help provide some guidelines to help you enjoy the process injury-free.

4. If you have always been ‘hand-cuffed’ by pesky overuse injuries that have marred previous fitness/goal attempts. Ignoring symptoms in the early days of a fitness program can cause goals to be aborted/altered excessively, later on.

A full assessment, treatment plan and home exercise regime can be offered in a 60 minute appointment. In order to book this online, simply make two consecutive 30 minute appointments, for example: 10:00 and 10:30.
