The results are used to create a plan for that golfer, which may include fitness training, manual therapy, and coaching of swing mechanics.

Concussion Management
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. The injury is at a microscopic level so you typically won’t have any findings on imaging such as MRI. A concussion can happen from a direct or indirect injury to the head in which the head and upper body are jostled. Concussions are common especially in contact sports. The injury needs time and rest to heal properly and majority of concussions with fully resolve within the first week or two of injury. Chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists have a role in the treatment of post-concussion symptoms that are not getting better after the typical timeline and we can help provide guidance regarding safe return to school, work, sport or activity.
Vestibular Therapy
Dizziness can be caused by several different pathologies and usually results in a feeling of unsteadiness, light-headedness, or feeling off-balance. Vertigo is a sensation of the room spinning around you and is most commonly caused by dysfunction of the vestibular system in the inner ear called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Our physiotherapists are trained in the specific assessment techniques which are required to determine the root cause of your dizziness and effectively perform treatments to alleviate your symptoms and re-train your balance.
