Hi! I am a Certified Athletic
Therapist and a Muscle Activation Techniques® Specialist servicing Thunder Bay. This separates me from everyone else as I am the only practitioner with this unique skillset working in Northern Ontario.
For me, I'm like you. I struggled with my own injuries. I experienced muscle tension and chronic pain in my shoulder after a traumatic accident. I heard about a technique that really grabbed my attention. It was not mainstream, it was Muscle Activation Techniques® (MAT®). After my first treatment, each muscle, one by one, I felt as if they had come back to life, stronger and more purposeful, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I was pain free for 3 months. I was blown away and thought, why isn’t every practitioner doing this?

Taping & Corrective Exercises
In order to help clients move and feel better, corrective exercises are techniques used to address and fix movement compensations and imbalances. Specifically to your treatment plan, these exercises help reinforce the re-education of muscular efficiency and strength. Taping is used to help decrease pain and increase movement by supporting muscles, tendons and ligaments that cross a joint.
Muscle Activation Techniques®
A revolutionary approach to the assessment & correction of muscular imbalances, joint instability & limitations in range of motion. It's a non-invasive technique designed to balance the muscular system in order for it to function with max efficiency
. MAT® is effective for everyone. From elite athletes to rehabilitation patients and anyone in between
INSURANCE
Athletic Therapy is accepted by nearly all major insurance plans.
If you have the privilege of having extended health benefits, my treatment service could be supported under your current supplier.
​
My best advice is to call your insurance provider and ask if you are covered under "athletic therapy"​.
