One of the best parts of the conference? Seeing how students inspire each other ✨
We interviewed two presenters about their research projects and asked them which other project stood out to them most… and they both picked each other 😂🤝
Guess great minds really do think alike. 📚💡

L’un des meilleurs moments de la conférence? Voir comment les étudiants s’inspirent les uns les autres ✨
On a interviewé deux présentateurs sur leurs projets de recherche et on leur a demandé quel autre projet les avait le plus marqués… et ils se sont choisis mutuellement 😂🤝
Comme quoi, les grands esprits se rencontrent 📚💡

What will your FOLLOW UP rehab sessions look like at the Athletic Therapy clinic? AT Intern Lara guides you through the process.

First, we'll check in and see how your pain has changed since your last visit, address any concerns you might have, and celebrate your wins.

Next, we'll reassess some of the findings from our last session to measure any objective changes. This includes movement, function, strength and special tests.

From there, we'll do some manual therapy or modalities if needed, and progress your exercises to get you back to doing what you love! We'll continue adapting your plan with you to make sure you are moving in the right direction.

Reserve a session by calling us or booking online!
