If you’ve injured a muscle, bone, or joint — or want to take the proactive approach of injury prevention — come and see me! Athletic Therapy includes: Prevention: I provide education and recommendations on posture, movement mechanics, exercises, ergonomics, bracing and risks associated with participating in fitness, sport and activities of daily living with the goal of keeping you injury free. Assessment: I specialize in evaluating the type and severity of injuries by conducting a thorough patient history, a postural assessment, a gait analysis and a complete musculoskeletal assessment that looks for abnormalities in your range of motion and strength to confirm the injury and to find the cause for your pain so that you can prevent it from happening again in the future. Treatment and Rehabilitation: I’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan. This could include manual therapy techniques (massage, joint mobilization, soft tissue release, cupping, Graston technique, PNF stretching), therapeutic modalities, physical reconditioning by means of a home exercise program using specific exercises to correct your imbalances as well as supportive taping and bracing to speed healing. Education: Patient education is a crucial cornerstone to a healthy and rapid recovery. It is important that you understand your injury, the cause, and why you’re doing the exercises prescribed so that you can have an active role and confidence in your treatment plan. Athletic Therapy is for Everyone A common misconception is that athletic therapy is only for athletes. This is far from the truth! Athletic therapists treat many different people and conditions from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from a hip replacement. Further conditions are not limited to the following: Acute injuries and conditions, pre/post-surgical rehabilitation, sprains, strains, tears, and tendonitis, low back pain, osteoarthritis, sciatica, disc herniation, whiplash and many more! https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/home daily 1.0 2023-09-08 https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/about daily 0.75 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/1620163843449-ECNVGB49OW6K4PYJKULB/IMG_4697.png About Me - Hi! I’m Jessica. As an athletic therapist, I’m here to teach you how to move efficiently and properly, increase your performance, improve your posture, reduce your chance of injury and rehabilitate your existing pain and injuries. I was a competitive dancer for most of my life. Many times I sought the help of professionals to deal with pain or an injury, but it was an athletic therapist near the end of my dance career who offered positive solutions and worked with me to reach my goals. It was that interaction that led me to become an athletic therapist. I love helping people feel and move better and I get excited when a simple cue to activate the right muscle makes all the difference. I’m passionate about alignment and have a keen eye for body position. My sessions are always one on one and focus on exercise with manual therapy techniques as needed that can increase range of motion, release tension, improve joint mobility, and reduce swelling. I make sure you understand the cause of your injury or issue and teach you how to fix it. Work with me, and together we will get you moving and feeling better. https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/postural-assessments daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/5ca736fa-8542-4c82-9e31-35d3e90890fe/EF8ABA22-B864-4F2D-8DB3-11C7AC191F70.jpg Postural Assessments https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/personal-training daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/d59b46dd-902e-4941-9f17-d563f22e2e2b/EC4BB776-CDCE-463A-85C3-94EF79D60A59.jpg Personal Training https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/athletic-therapy daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/ac0630da-4235-4032-8c45-43a321a5fa42/2A9F2C1B-143A-4C73-9A26-D637EC98F6CF.jpeg Athletic Therapy https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/ergonomic-assessments daily 0.75 2023-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/1600456629297-HX5SBZE94OWL97G9WZN4/pexels-energepiccom-313690.jpg Ergonomic Assessments https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/virtual-services daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/d8aa4444-f373-4e86-a6b0-2758cdf56bc3/492E59FE-343E-4968-8866-CED18F75AA40.jpeg Virtual Services https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/services-1 daily 0.75 2023-09-08 https://bodymechanicswpg.ca/program-design daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5effb0d898448a4a7baf09dd/3b1204ff-4b5c-4519-84cf-8aeca2ee39e0/0CF56D60-3288-4466-AF4A-27BDA353841B.jpg Program Design
