Give us a call or send a message. We can help find out if you can come right in without waiting for a referral. Most people can!!

From — Doctors tell us that they receive several requests a day for referrals to see physiotherapists, massage therapists, or chiropractors.

You likely don’t need one.

Help free up doctors’ time by heading straight to the allied health professional.

Golf is a sport with multiple benefits such as getting outside in nature, working on balance and coordination and getting your aerobic exercise in! But did you know that roughly 15-40% of golfers suffer from an injury each year?

Here are some tips for avoiding injury:

Watch your volume – make sure that the amount of play or practice builds up slowly (a driving range/simulator can often be tougher on the body than playing the course!) and you can’t start out the first day at 18 holes without taking a few swings to practice first.

Make sure your clubs are properly fitted to you – improper gear can lead to injuries because of poor body mechanics.

Get strong!! A strong body is more resilient to injury. Make sure you are strength training leading up to and throughout the season.

Warm up – doing a proper warm up before your round is crucial. Make sure you are doing dynamic stretching and hitting a few balls before trying to smash your driver off #1. This will not only help avoid injury, but help you play better too!

How can a physiotherapist help?

Determine where your limitations are in strength and mobility.

Provide exercises to work on those limitations.
Perform manual therapy techniques, such as massage and joint mobilizations, to increase range of motion and help reduce pain.

Education on how to modify your training plan/volume, warm up and recovery routines.
And more!

Happy golfing Nova Scotia!

Physiotherapists are primary health care providers. Nova Scotians are able to access physiotherapists through direct access, which means they can self-refer and do not require a physician’s referral. This has many benefits and timely access to the right care at the right time is a big one.

While many Nova Scotians do not have a family doctor, being able to access a physiotherapist directly and without needing a physician’s referral removes a huge barrier to care.

Removing barriers and allowing physiotherapists to work to their full scope of practice is the theme for this year’s National Physiotherapy Month. Another barrier to the right care at the right time is that currently physiotherapists are not able to refer to physician specialists (e.g. neurologists, orthopedic surgeons). Patients must go to a physician to receive this type of referral even though physiotherapists have the knowledge and skills needed to make this determination.

Physiotherapists working up to full scope have already shown the value of the profession. This needs to be realized in Nova Scotia and at a national level across Canada so all physiotherapists can deliver equitable and optimal care in our healthcare system. The call to action is clear. All jurisdictions in Canada need to remove barriers to physiotherapists working to full scope of practice, in all settings, to deliver timely, effective, and optimal care to all people and provide better outcomes for our health system.
