There’s a moment that hits a lot of practitioners about 8–10 years into their career.
A realization that despite navigating all the CPD Canada has to offer, they’re still blindspots.
You’ve done the Orthopaedic levels.
You’ve earned the FCAMPT letters.
You’ve climbed the mountain you thought was the peak.
And then you realise how unprepared you actually are to take an athlete all the way back to sport and performance.
That’s where I was in the years leading into the pandemic.
“You don’t know what you don’t know” sounds cliché — until it isn’t.
Until your eyes are opened to what an athlete truly needs beyond symptom resolution.
Is there a place for joint manipulations and mobilisations?
Absolutely.
Is high-level clinical reasoning non-negotiable?
It’s imperative.
But something changes when you arm a therapist with:
• Advanced reasoning and critical thinking
• A deep understanding of primary tissue healing and movement
• Mid-stage principles that actually connect rehab to sport
You stop creating protocol followers.
You create practitioners who build n = 1 solutions — from Day 1 to return-to-sport.
That’s the practitioner we’re building at ØRKA Performance Charlottetown.
If you’re a physiotherapist or strength coach who’s had that lightbulb moment — and wants an environment that supports the next evolution of your practice — we should talk.
PS. There’s some of the nicest beaches and golf courses you’ll ever see.
