Going Swimmingly

Swimming is one of the most popular sports in the world. We swim in lakes, pools, oceans, streams, rivers, and even ponds. Although it is considered a "low impact" sport due to the fact that the water supports a large percentage of your body weight, injuries and over use can happen. Let us know how we can help you to "just keep swimming".🐠

Introduction to Swimming Let's face it; Caeleb Dressel has made the sport of swimming incredibly cool. It was amazing to watch him glide through the water like it was his home, as if he had flippers instead of hands and feet.

Alpha understands and treats injuries in Musicians🎸

When you think about it, musicians often spend quite a bit of time in awkward positions. They use both hands with their instrument, using fingers, wrists, forearms, and upper arms repetitively during long hours of practice.

Preparing for a concert often involves increasing the number of hours practicing and rehearsing. Some muscles contract and hold without a break. Joints open and close over and over and over. Inevitably injuries occur for many musicians. Pain, stiffness, cramping, spasm, numbness, swelling, clicking and popping, and tremors are just a few of the more common symptoms experienced.

Be performance ready by booking an assessment today!

Baseball season will be in full swing soon!⚾️

Baseball is definitely the game of summer. There is nothing better than the crack of the bat, the cheer of the crowd and running the bases after you have hit one out of the park.
Baseball doesn’t have a lot of contact between players, but nevertheless, there is repetitive motion when it comes to throwing, hitting and base running. Therefore, players must be conditioned properly and all practices should focus on these exercises.

Our Physio Therapists are ready to help you with your game. Online booking available on our website alphacenter.ca
