While representing Canada in the sport of skeleton for seven years including two Olympic Games, sports chiropractic care was a critical element in my development and performance. Sports chiropractic contributed greatly toward my success and in many instances, simply allowed me to compete after sustaining injuries. Because sports chiropractic care is so much more than simply making adjustments to the skeletal system, I hope all athletes are offered the opportunity to become exposed to sports chiropractic care. It will be the most significant eye-opening experience of their athletic careers.

Regular sports chiropractic treatment has helped me to better understand my body. It has for me, taken the concept of injury rehabilitation to that of injury prevention and performance enhancement. I have found that regular assessments and treatment has allowed me to identify and resolve small movement inefficiencies before they become issues that make me susceptible to injury. This partnership has become an essential part of my performance preparation. Thank you, sports chiropractic.

Racing down a track head first at 150+ kilometers per hour tends to put quite the stress and strain on the body. Add to that, the need to explode off the start line and sprint in a bent over position makes working with a sports chiropractor a must. I think that in order for me to compete at my best, sports chiropractic is a must.

Throughout my career I have depended on sports chiropractic to keep me performing my best. You cannot imagine the pounding my body takes day in and day out hurtling my body down a track at 150 kph. Thank you, sports chiropractic. Thank you for keeping me healthy and fixing me when I was broken. You truly make a difference in the lives of athletes.

For the first time ever, someone got to the root of my pain, and I'm happy to say I am now virtually unhampered by this condition. Sports Chiropractic continues to assist me with the issues that arise from the repetitious movements of my sport. This ongoing treatment has provided great support and inspiration in my journey to the podium. A piece of my silver medal is thanks to them…

Bobsleigh is a pure power sport — joints especially take a beating. Knees, back, ankles, elbows are constantly being abused through our weight training and sprinting. By having a regular chiropractic assessment, potential problem areas can be identified and worked on before they lead to greater problems.

I've been raving about your chiropractic group ever since I came back from the games. Telling everybody what a great care you took of me and made the pain disappear. Without your help I probably wouldn't be able to compete in all the events. Everybody in Slovak Paralympic Team agreed that all of you put a lot of energy into helping us to achieve the best results possible.

With my sights squarely focused on the 2012 London Olympic Games, regular sports chiropractic care is an absolute necessity. When podium appearances are decided by hundredths or even thousandths of a second, every advantage must be utilized. Sports Chiropractic treatments have become an essential part of my performance preparation.

I was skeptical at the beginning (i.e. 1st few treatments)… not anymore! I have been an athlete for over 20 years and as I've pushed 'the envelope' into the extreme-multi-sport-endurance-world, I could only have expected some injuries along the way. This has been one of the best things that I could have ever done — on many different levels. Thank you, Sports Chiropractic.

I cannot believe the difference sports chiropractic has made to my game and my body. Not only has years of aches and pains been eliminated but my reaction time and flexibility are the best they have ever been. I am a raving fan and see how this can play a regular role in my sports career.

Peak performance, lack of pain and quality of life are all things that regular sports chiropractic care add to my life and sporting career. The expert practitioners I am looked after by are so incredible at monitoring my body that they can sense when and where my body is going to fail me before I even see it coming.

What I discovered was that sports chiropractors really look at the body as a whole and focus on making me perform better — evaluating the way my muscles and joints work and fine tuning everything. I truly feel that it helps me to be the best athlete I can be.

Going for sports chiropractic treatments has helped out significantly in getting my body in the best shape for competition and training. Sports chiropractic has improved the way my body moves and functions and has played a significant role in rehabilitating injuries.

Attending the Sochi Winter Games was an incredible experience; even more so being the first women ski jumpers in history to participate. In Sochi, I had developed shin splints on the day of our competition and also had ongoing problems with my back. I found it very helpful when Dr. Gareau was at the ski jump venue to treat me before and between my competition jumps. The difference afterwards was amazing.
