Philosophy
Smart Athlete Physiotherapy was founded out of the frustration with the traditional physical therapy model. We believe you deserve more than a few minutes of hands on care and then being passed on to an aide. Traditional physical therapy clinics let their care be dictated by insurance reimbursement and visits per year. This doesn’t lead to optimal outcomes. At Smart Athlete your plan of care is determined based on what you need to reach your goals.

Process
During your first call we will dig deeply into what has brought you to us and discuss what your goals are so we can meet your expectations. This will help guide us to determining what services are best for you and which of our providers are a best fit.
During your evaluation we will gather a detailed history to get an accurate picture of why you are having limitations. We will then go through a thorough musculoskeltal evaluation and functional movement assessment. From this we will be able to create a plan of care and give you an understanding of what the source of your problem is. Our goal is to treat the source of your dysfunction not just the symptoms.
