Whether it’s a sprained ankle from a leisurely walk or a strained back from an ambitious volleyball play, Brock Sport Medicine Clinic has the expertise to help.

The University has opened its second clinic location, with the new space focused on delivering care to the Brock and wider Niagara community.

Located on the second floor of Canada Games Park, adjacent to Brock’s main campus, the new clinic marks the expansion of services previously offered only to student-athletes.

“Through Brock Sport Medicine and Athletic Therapy, we have serviced our student-athletes for more than 30 years,” said Steve Lidstone, Associate Director of Sport Medicine and Sport Performance. “It was time for us to open a clinic that offers world-class services to the community.”

All Brock students, staff and faculty, as well as community members in need of treatment, can now access the clinic. Services include physiotherapy/athletic therapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture and bracing.

The Brock Sport Medicine Clinic has expanded its services to the broader community with a new location at Canada Games Park.

Having the clinic located in Canada Games Park, a multi-use recreation and sport complex, provides a convenient option for care, Lidstone said, whether community members are spending time at the Brock Functional Inclusive Training Centre (Bfit) or taking advantage of the many programming options otherwise available on site.

To introduce the community to the new state-of-the-art treatment space and its team, an open house will be held Wednesday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

While there will be no treatments conducted during the event, guests will be able to book future appointments.

Open daily, the clinic takes a multi-disciplinary approach, with opportunities to work with physiotherapists, athletic therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths, Lidstone said.

“With cutting-edge modalities, such as shockwave and laser therapies, the clinic will benefit not only the community but also Brock’s varsity athletes,” he said. “We’re excited to offer exceptional service to active populations consisting of all ages and abilities, and we look forward to building amazing connections through our new community-facing clinic.”

More information, including hours of operation and how to book an appointment, is available on the Brock Sport Medicine website.
