Founded in 1981 at the University of British Columbia, the AMSMC was the pioneer in the multi-disciplinary treatment of sports injuries. Today, we remain a leading resource in sports medicine through our commitment to professional development and our support of research through the B.C. Sports Medicine Research Foundation.

We are involved with the education of residents, fellows and practicing physicians and physiotherapists. Our physiotherapists have significant experience working with athletes at the highest levels of competition from provincial and national, to Olympic and professional.
Our Patient Focus

We have a comprehensive approach to patient care. Educating patients about their condition and creating independence are the foundation of our programs and treatment plans. We go beyond alleviating symptoms and focus on understanding and identifying the root cause of the problem. With manual therapy and individualized exercises, we strive to restore function so that our patients are adequately prepared to return to sport while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
Our Sports Culture

Our passion for sports extends beyond just the physical experience. Whether it’s for physical or mental health, the spirit of competition, or for lessons in teamwork and community building – we believe sport can have a profound positive impact on you and your family.

Our team of physiotherapists is involved with athletes in all facets of care, from injury prevention programs and on-field coverage, to post-game recovery and sport injury treatment. We understand what it’s like to be injured and the desire to return to activity and sport.
Our Commitment to Teamwork

As a patient at AMSMC, you are in the care of a team of experienced and skilled health care professionals. Through our association with sports medicine physicians and surgeons and our participation in research and continuing education, we strive to ensure that our patients get the best help available.

SPORTMEDBC INTRAINING
Pre/Post Surgical Care
Many patients turn to orthopedic surgery for the ability to return to sports and recreational activities after an injury. Having both a pre-op and a post-surgical plan is key to your recovery and our therapists will provide pre-operative education, training, and therapeutic exercises to promote optimal results. Over the years, our clinic has established strong relationships with leading orthopedic surgeons and specialists in shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle injuries. Working with your surgeon’s rehabilitation protocols and recommendations, our therapists will determine individualized exercise plans, and any post-surgery bracing or equipment needs to ensure a risk-free return to your sport or activity at the highest level possible.
Common surgeries we deal with include:
- Rotator cuff
- Dislocations
- Bankart repair
- ACL reconstruction
- Meniscus arthroscopy
- Labral repairs
- Hip and knee replacements
- Achilles and ligament repairs
- Total joint replacement

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Chinese Medicine wherein fine needles are strategically placed into the skin to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain, and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy and massage therapy, and as an alternative to medications.

Many of our physiotherapists are extensively trained and certified in performing acupuncture treatments. Their deep understanding of physiology and the human anatomy can be applied to ensure effective treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called endorphins and improves the body’s energy and biochemical balance. For many patients, acupuncture is very effective in treating a variety of painful disorders, both acute and chronic.

Book an appointment
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
IMS is a dry needling technique that is used to diagnose and treat myofascial pain. During IMS, small filament needles can be inserted either at the epicenter of taut, tender muscle bands (trigger points), or near the spine where the nerve root may have become irritated and supersensitive. Inserting needles deep into dysfunctional muscles may cause a reflex release of the muscle tension which helps reduce pressure on the nerve to alleviate pain and dysfunction. IMS relies heavily on a thorough physical examination of the patient by a certified practitioner.

Book an appointment
Taping

Our therapists are experienced using a wide variety of tape products and techniques. Athletic tape is often used to restrict mobility to prevent further tissue damage and allow the muscles, ligaments and joints to heal. K-tape is a flexible tape that when applied appropriately can facilitate muscle activity, improve proprioception, and reduce pain. Based on your individual needs, taping may be used as part of your physiotherapy treatment.

Book an appointment
Massage Therapy

At Allan McGavin Sports Clinic, massage therapy is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) using a variety of hands-on techniques in order to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote rehabilitation. Prior to prescribing treatment, your massage therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of your musculoskeletal injuries. Target tissues for massage therapy may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels and/or gastrointestinal organs. If necessary, your RMT may prescribe an integrated approach with our team of physiotherapists in order to promote a complete recovery and successful return to your sport or activity.

Book an appointment
Bike Fitting
We have experienced physiotherapists that can perform a customized bike fit to increase performance and reduce discomfort while cycling. The fitting begins off the bike with an initial assessment of mobility, alignment, and leg length. Your physiotherapist will then conduct a riding posture and biomechanical assessment with you on the bike before making any adjustments or recommendations to the five contact points – cleats (2), seat, and handlebars (2). The result is optimal biomechanical positioning with a bike fit that works with your body to improve comfort, reduce your risk of injury, and enhances your performance.

Book an appointment
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that is scientifically proven to provide safe and highly effective treatment to specific conditions. It involves the application of high energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body, which helps stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration. Our clinic uses the Swiss Dolorclast machine which research has shown to deliver more energy density that competing devices and can be effective in as little as 1-3 treatments.

ESWT is commonly used to effectively treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis/golfers elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathies, Achilles tendonosis, patellar tendinopathies, calcific shoulder, and other soft tissue injuries. The therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for patients seeking alternative options to surgery or medication.
Manual Physiotherapy
Manual Therapy involves a variety of specialized, hands on techniques administered by a physiotherapist. During joint mobilization, a therapist uses a specific technique applied to a spinal or peripheral joint in order to restore mobility. Soft tissue techniques utilize graded pressure directed at muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves in order to improve flexibility and normalize function. In combination with other treatments, manual therapy can help relieve your pain and improve the quality of your movement.

Book an appointment
Running Assessment
Running can be risky business when it comes to overuse injuries. Each year, more than 50% of runners will be sidelined with an injury. Whether you’re looking to get back to pounding the pavement after injury, improve your performance, or stay injury-free, our comprehensive running analysis will help decrease your risk of running injuries and improve your running performance. The 60 minute session will include the following:
- Physiotherapy Assessment to identify potential imbalances and risks factors for injuries
- Footwear/shoe evaluation and recommendation
- Video recorded biomechanical assessment of running on a treadmill
- Individualized Home Exercise and Return to Running Programs
- Detailed Running Analysis Report providing summary of findings and recommendations for the future
Running Assessments are conducted by Physiotherapists Julian Cooper and Alex Carrod who have completed a training course with the Running Clinic and are avid runners themselves.
