When Ajay Agarwal started working as a physiotherapist in 2002, he could not believe how many clients and friends of his had described their first physiotherapy experience as “useless and disappointing”.  They told him their physiotherapy sessions consisted of laying on a heating pad and receiving electric “shocks”.  They felt the clinic was more concerned with how to maximize the client’s dollars spent at the clinic versus what was in their best interest.

This industry is full of people who try to get clients to use every service they offer regardless of if it benefits them.  I would shake my head in shame and disappointment.  That is what motivated me and my partners to start Competitive Edge Physiotherapy & Sports Conditioning.  At Competitive Edge Physiotherapy, we have a completely hands-on approach, that not only focuses on rehabilitation, but also on prevention and education.  Our team of trained staff – that range from Registered Physiotherapists, Registered Massage therapist, Athletic Therapist and Registered Kinesiologists – take pride in providing clients with the necessary tools they require to return to work, sport or general health.  We strive to create an environment that is safe and conducive for rehabilitation.

There is a second part to Competitive Edge Physiotherapy, and that is “Sports Conditioning”.  Part-owner and Registered Kinesiologist, Donovan Rodrigues, told me we needed to include “Sports Conditioning” at our facility because he was tired of seeing so many young kids with complete  ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears, acute/chronic neck and low back pain, and chronic ankle pain. We both felt that these young athletes should have a place, not only to train, but to learn about how they can REDUCE the risks for these injuries.  Conditioning at Competitive Edge Physiotherapy and Sports Conditioning, uses an integrated approach based on Applied Functional Science that enables the client to efficiently and effectively perform the tasks of life, while simultaneously accomplishing their desired fitness, health and/or athletic goals.
