Sport Injuries

At Seva Physiotherapy we have therapists that have extensive experience working with athletes not only in the clinic but on teams from  amateur to elite levels of competition. We have a Sport Physiotherapy Diploma trained therapist (Canada's highest recognized level of specialization in sport rehabilitation). Our approach to treatment can encompass a variety of things that will help you return to sport & activity such as:

Manual Therapy
Hands on techniques used to restore joint alignment, soft tissue mobility, muscle control, strength & flexibility.

Exercise Prescription
Preventative & rehabilitative individual exercise prescription to help you not only recover from your injuries but to also get you back into the level of competition before your injury. This will also incorporate functional sport / activity drills, core stabilization & strengthening (strengthening the spine after a leg or arm injury can help with injury prevention and also increase torque & force produced in the arms or legs).

Athletic Taping
Athletic taping can be used to provide relief from pain, control swelling and provide support & compression for acute injuries. It can also provide support to hypermobile or unstable  joints and  sensory input (ie; knee, ankle, shouder, wrist joints)

Functional Sports Screening Assessment
What is a Sports Functional Screening Assessment?

This is a complete one hour screening of the athlete's mobility, flexibility, strength, and alignment. It is an assessment aimed at the specific needs of the athlete's particular sport. Any deficits in mobility & strength, asymmetries in mobility & strength, and patterns of abnormal movement are identified. Specific therapeutic exercises are then prescribed to help correct these deficiencies to prevent injury and improve athletic performance.  This assessment is a useful tool for competitive to recreational athletes that are interested in injury prevention and optimizing performance. Wil Seto has performed these assessments for numerous Team BC athletes through SportMedBC.

Collaboration with coaches
While working with you in rehabilitating your injury, we will collaborate with any coaches, strength & conditioning trainers & other health medical staff to get you back to your level of sport & activity.
