At Port Alberni Physiotherapy, we offer both Sport Physiotherapy and Athletic Therapy — two services that often work hand-in-hand, but focus on slightly different things:
Sport Physiotherapy
Our sport physio sessions help athletes recover from injury and progress safely back to their sport. We assess movement, strength, and sport-specific demands, then design tailored treatment programs that can be done in the clinic with progression to your sport environment — with individual drills and team integration to the start of higher-contact work. For higher-level athletes, we like to refer to Athletic Therapy to help bridge the gap between clinic rehab and competitive play.
Athletic Therapy
Athletic therapy focuses on preventing and managing injuries in sport, typically in the sport environment. This includes taping, bracing, acute injury assessments, and providing on-site support for teams and events. Athletic therapy is incredibly valuable for safe return to sport and support on the field, ice, or court.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for sport, or wanting more guidance to stay injury free this season, we have the skills and expertise to help.
