At #CompetitiveEdge, we remain competitive by providing one-on-one care to each of our clients. Our #1 goal is to get you on the road to recovery and living a pain-free life! https://competitiveedgesporttherapy.com/a thletic-therapy-p…/

What does neck pain, low back pain and shoulder pain all have in common? . . . ... THE UPPER BACK! ("Tspine"). When the Tspine is stiff and immobile (often from slouching), these other areas have to move MORE and work HARDER! And thats just not fair. For anyone with pain in one of these areas or even just stiffness in their upper back itself, try this exercise. You should feel a lovely twisting stretch in your upper back. Just remember that slow and controlled is the goal. E...njoy!

Our unique, personal and hands-on #athletictherapy can help you stay active during recovery! http://ow.ly/VWIJ30n8PgM

Upper back strength is so important! Especially for those of you with shoulder, neck or back pain, or even elbow pain! Give it a try! Shaking or burning is absolutely normal. Just make sure to keep your shoulder blades pulled down and back and avoid the temptation to shrug up or tense your neck. Enjoy!

Anyone feeling stiff and sore from your holiday activities?
Give this exercise a try! Lindsay is resting on a "peanut" (AKA double lacrosse ball) which is handy to have but the same thing can be accomplished with two lacrosse balls either taped together or tied together inside a sock or even a foam roller. Gently tuck your chin and move from tucked to neutral position to roll and stretch the back of the neck. You might feel this up in to your head but remember it should a...lways be mild and tolerable. If needed, try it on a gentle surface like a bed or pillow.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

It's important to take it easy when you're recovering from a #sportsinjury, but you can still be active. Check out our latest blog post for more information. http://ow.ly/GYg130mTsZ0

The sidewalks and pathways are slippery! Be careful! A nasty fall could result in a sprain or small fracture. Remember RICE - R.est I.ce C.ompression E.levation!

Brodie's so cute! Check out these 2 ways to roll your calves with a lacrosse ball. This is great if you've been spending a lot of time on your feet or have had to wear shoes without great arch support (heels, snow boots... we don't judge!). Give your calves a little attention and let us know how it goes!

Sadly all practicum placements must come to an end 😢. We loved having Savannah around this past semester and want to thank her for all of her help and hard work! Looking forward to watching her grow and seeing where her future will take her.

This year I unfortunately encountered a rib and abdominal injury. My healing process has been a long and very stressful journey seeking appropriate medical attention. Despite the efforts made by multiple physicians and professionals, I had not received quality care for a successful recovery and I was losing hope. Luckily, I reached out to a friend for advice and he highly recommended Competitive Edge.

I cannot express how impressed I have been with their service. The environment is clean and welcoming, and the employees always greet me with a smile and are very friendly. CE worked with me on an individual basis and provided me with a hands on empathetic, caring approach. CE has been the only place that has truely understood the nature of my injury and has been able to provide me with treatment . Brodie has been my specialist at CE and I am so thankful for her expertise. Because of the treatment I have received I am finally starting to heal properly and what a relief it is. Not only am I beginning to feel better physically but also emotionally as well. I highly recommend Competitive Edge Sports Therapy and will continue to spread the appreciation I have for their clinic.

They offered free treatment Friday yesterday which I'm so grateful for! I loved the atmosphere of the clinic and one little treatment with Karina and my back and hips don't have my usual nagging pain

Lindsay is amazing. She listens to you and your concerns. And takes her time.

She always professional and friendly! !

Lindsay has helped me through a crazy elbow injury and a brain injury. She has been incredible every step of the way. Athletic Therapy treatments with her offer way more value than any traditional physiotherapist.

I've been going to see Micah for several months & he is amazing! He's patient and thorough and explains everything as we go along. He has helped me so much and I am beyond grateful!

I also love the atmosphere of the clinic, it's very relaxed and everyone is so nice & friendly!

I would not be able to work or play without the amazing skill and artistry that Lindsay brings to her craft. I was in daily pain due to a torn meniscus that physio wasn't helping anymore and after one treatment my pain went from constant to intermittent. Now, I hardly notice it at all unless I push my knee too far. On top of it all, Lindsay has addressed some long-standing aches and pains through treating my knee. I just turned 45 and definitely feel 10 years younger now! Thank you, Lindsay!

I recently had an appointment with Lindsey. I had a wonderful experience and learned so much about how everything in your body works together. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Everyone at Competitive Edge is professional and patient and fun!

I have been treated by Lindsey a few times and I can say she is amazing at what she does! Competitive Egde is Professional, knowledgeable and comfortable. My shoulder and leg are pain free! Thank you!

I have been going for post concussion symdrome since January. I highly recommend for anyone experiencing any movement, or concussion issues. The team is incredible and Lindsay is amazing! I had no idea of the power of athletic therapists and am very certain that without their care I would be suffering greatly.

Friendly and patient atmosphere for me and my busybody daughters. Came in for what I thought was a rotator cuff injury and got proven totally wrong by the experts here. Now that I finally have had proper treatment and diagnosis as well as recovery exercises prescribed, I look forward to moving past my injury. Will definitely be back. Thank you �����

Best way to evaluate my son's condition if something ever happens in a game. And they offer a follow up for a year.
