THE Downtown Sports Clinics offer the following programs:



Fit For Living Assessment

This program is directed at keeping individuals well and safe from injury during everyday tasks of living. This is accomplished by educating you about the importance of an active lifestyle and showing you how to avoid hurting your body at home, work, or at play. A full musculoskeletal assessment (MSK), which examines muscle strength and endurance, muscle and joint flexibility, posture and individual strategies of completing activities of daily living, is performed. Following this assessment, our physiotherapist can design and supervise your individual conditioning program to optimize performance and overall fitness level, muscle strength, and endurance.


Sport & Fitness Assessment

Sport & fitness assessment is the ultimate prevention program for those striving for injury-free excellence. This program includes strength, flexibility, and biomechanical assessments leading to sport specific strategies to help you achieve your ultimate goal.


Video Gait Analysis

Video Gait Analysis provides a holistic view of your body during the dynamic activity of running or walking. It allows us to focus in on key areas, such as the feet, knees, pelvis and spine, during the activity to determine the biomechanical effectiveness of that area. It also enables us to gain a visual understanding of how the function of one area, such as the feet for example, affects adjacent areas in the body, such as the knees. It takes many years of experience to be able to visually detect the biomechanical subtleties that can lead to injuries in runners. Once identified through the video, potential problem areas receive a complete physical assessment to determine the underlying cause of the problems, which can include improper foot wear, muscle weakness, and weak joints. The assessment findings are used to design a specific treatment strategy, enabling you to overcome your injuries, prevent future injuries and improve your running performance.


FITforeGOLFTM Assessment

FITforeGOLF Assessment is a program designed to keep you injury free, improve your golf, and add years to your golf game. "While good equipment helps improve one's performance, one other important component is overlooked - the human body still has to swing the club!" The assessment addresses strength, flexibility, posture, and swing mechanics to pinpoint the physical limitations of your body. The information is used to design a specific exercise program for your golf muscles to prevent injury and to maximize your game. The assessment takes 1.25 hours to complete.


Spinal Stabilization Program - Stability Plus

Recent research indicates that specific exercise of the deep spinal stabilizing muscles is more effective than general exercises for reducing pain and functional disability in people who experience stability problems in the spine. This program is designed to teach participants how to:

  • Isolate and recruit deep spinal stabilizing muscles
  • Improve endurance and co-ordination of the spinal stabilizing muscles
  • Learn and use proven back care principles

This program involves:

  • 1 private session with a physiotherapist
  • 4 small group classes instructed by a physiotherapist
  • the use of a physioball and foam roller.

This program is offered at various times throughout the year


Office Ergonomic Assessments

Office Ergonomic Assessments examines your work environment, how you work in it, and how your work affects you physically. It assesses the compatibility between you and your workplace, workstation, home office, and the tasks you perform. Once this assessment is complete, we will identify strategies to improve the compatibility between your physical capabilities and the demands of your work. The assessment will provide guidelines on how you can improve your performance, productivity, and physical well being on the job. It will also highlight ways to minimize health and safety concerns related to your work.
