​
At Effectus Sports Performance Lab, we work with various partners to provide athletes with such multi-disciplinary options to enhance their wellness. Athletes can access the different supports that best meet their current needs.
Physical & Physiotherapist
Likely at one point or another in your athletics, you will have an injury or tweak something in your body where you may need to see a physical therapists and/or physiotherapist. A physical therapist and physiotherapist can help you rehabilitate whatever part of your body that may be injured. A physical therapist and physiotherapist can also help you to design exercises and programs to improve your balance and mobility, build strength, maintain posture, and more.

An optometrist will ensure that your vision is healthy and ready for competition in whatever sport you may be competing in. Seeing an optometrist also contributes to your overall health as blurry vision can cause other complications.

Chiropractors treat neck pain, back pain, arthritis, certain types of headaches, injuries, and more. They assess, diagnose, treat and develop care plans to keep you moving and pain-free.

Along with mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness, an athlete must also incorporate physical training into their schedules. A personal fitness trainer will work with you to achieve your goals.
