Injury Prevention

A physiotherapist has extensive training regarding the human body and how it functions. The best way to keep from experiencing sports-related pain is to learn how to prevent it in the first place!

Your physiotherapist at Lake Country Physiotherapy will be able to help design proper warm-up and cool-down exercises, and advise on training and conditioning. He or she will work with you to develop a prevention regime that fits your specific needs. This way you can ensure that in the future you are doing your best to prevent a painful sports-related injury.

Although your primary goal may be pain relief, the injury may not be completely healed until flexibility, strength and function are restored. Your sports physiotherapist will work with you for lasting pain relief, monitor your progress, and also be able to discern whether or not your injury is completely healed so you can plan for getting back in the game!
