Athletic Therapy

Athletic Therapists are trained to get rid of injuries, help you move better, and develop safe exercise plans - whether you're an athlete or not.

Getting You Back To The Things You Love

Are you tired of injuries keeping you down? The shoulder injury that makes you unable to lift your arm? The knee pain that doesn’t allow you to go for a walk with a friend? The back pain that doesn’t allow you to play with your kids, bend down to pick something up or even sit comfortably in your chair?…

We pride ourselves on getting our clients back to the things they enjoy.

Pain, tension, and not feeling your best contribute to poor physical and mental health. We strive to support a happier and healthier society.

When you’re not in pain, worrying about your body, or stressed out then you’re more likely to move, take care of your health, and do something that brings you joy. 

Imagine your athletic therapist that has the technical hands-on skill to reduce your pain and injury while keeping you informed on ways you can reduce, manage, or eliminate your problem. Our Athletic Therapist strives to achieve this.

Daryl is so supportive and so knowledgeable. I went to see him for Athletic Therapy, to help me train and prevent injury in preparation for a very physically demanding trip upcoming and he has been an amazing help getting me there. His approach is so natural and organic, I walked out of the initial assessment feeling like I had already accomplished something, and I was motivated and felt ready. I went home and told my partner that I had the best experience with a health care practitioner of my life. I highly highly recommend Daryl for a supportive, non judgemental approach to better yourself, physically and mentally. Thank you Daryl!

Our approach

Empowerment. Health. Education.

Athletic Therapy makes taking care of your body easy.

Our athletic therapist provides hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercises to keep you feeling better, longer.

Skill

Our athletic therapist uses the thousands of hours of clinical experience, continuing education courses, and unique skillset to get you feeling back to yourself. Our athletic therapist is rare to Victoria because not only is he certified in athletic therapy, he's also a registered massage therapistt and Holistic Nutrionist.

We use our communication skills to keep you in formed of what is going on in your body but what you can do to alleviate your pain when you're not with us.

Plan

Creating a health plan for you is important. We want you to be actively involved in your own health care. This involves you working with your athletic therapist, whether you receive massage therapy treatments on a regular basis or a one time fix to get you back to your comfortable state.

Say Goodbye to your Injuries and Hello to Accomplishing your Goals

Our athletic therapy team is exceptional in their experience, education, and commitment to our clients.

We have expertise in treating most types of injuries but we excel in treating back painshoulder pain, neck pain, and complex conditions.

We’re also skilled in creating safe exercise programs to improve your core strength, get rid of your shoulder pain, and show you how to reduce your chances of injury in the gym.

Athletic Therapy is a great source of treatment by itself but it compliments well with Chiropractic or Massage Therapy.

While we have been lucky enough to work with national-level athletes, we also have the privilege of working with a diverse demographic of clients who are motivated in feeling their best, whatever that may look like for them. 

You can be someone who enjoys being active on weekends, a mother of 2 kids, or an office worker!

We’re able to develop a program that includes hands-on therapy or an exercise-based program to help your recover from an injury, learn how to exercise to achieve your health goals.

Athletic therapy is perfect for your sports injury as well. Our Athletic Therapist is highly trained in his profession and uses his countless hours of experience working clinically and for sports teams.

We’re conveniently located in Downtown Victoria at 10-920 Johnson. It’s at the intersection of Quadra and Johnson in the same building as Alert First Aid

Besides being an athletic therapist, our AT is trained as a Massage Therapist and Holistic nutritionist.

You get a unique experience on your health journey.

With us, you’re able to see one therapist for athletic therapy but if you want a massage or eventually eat healthier for your body, you don’t have to see multiple therapists for that.

Our clients love this unique advantage because your AT can provide relief with hands-on treatment but when you want a massage or eat better your therapist already knows you.

I am a baseball player that plays at a pretty competitive level and had injured my shoulder a few years ago.. I then continued to play through the injury until I decided to go to Daryl at Sync Therapy. He gave me exercises to do on my own time to strengthen my shoulder, help prepare for the games and stretches to help release the pain. I was more than satisfied with what I came out with. He cares about every customer and continues to send me videos and instructions on anything new he may learn to help me out. I have recommended him to lots of players in my league that have started to go to him for any pains they have with their body. Everyone I know that has started to see him are satisfied... an absolute 5 star!

There are a lot of plans that athletic therapy is covered under. We don’t fall under the “physiotherapy” blanket though, you will need to call your insurance provider to check your plan. Athletic Therapy may fall under general categories such as “Rehabilitation” or “Health care spending account” on your own plan, so if you’re unsure, you should contact your insurance company to inquire. If you don’t have AT coverage, you may have massage therapy coverage and Daryl can work with you through that

Yes! We’re trained to work with anyone, regardless of age, background, sexual orientation or athletic ability. We work with athletes, office workers, car accident clients, or anyone hurt. If you’re new to exercise or moving in general, then we will start you at the beginning and progress you as far as you’re comfortable.

Athletic Therapy is a branch of therapy that specializes in your muscles, bones, and joints. We’re able to help you recover from an injury quickly and effectively, it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or not! We can help you recover from a sports injury, pick up a toddler, or just from you working at a desk full-time. We do this with massage, joint mobilizations, exercise, and education! While there are many similarities with other therapeutic health professions, Athletic Therapy differs from them by specializing in musculocutaneous conditions and by holding exercise as its primary modality.

Yes! While we are athletic therapists by trade, we provide active rehab as a part of your recovery team for car accidents. We direct bill ICBC on your behalf and tailor a treatment plan that works for you. More information is under our ICBC active rehab page

Athletic Therapy and physiotherapy are very similar in terms of treatment and techniques used to treat an injury or illness. The main difference lies in their scope of practice and educational background.

An athletic therapist requires a 4-year bachelor’s degree to specialize in immediate care and prevention of musculoskeletal (muscle, bones, and joint) injuries.

On the other hand, physiotherapy is defined as the science of movement that focuses on the underlying physical issues to help recover, sustain and maximize an individual’s physical strength, mobility, function and overall well-being. In part, they seek out the root cause of an injury and treat it accordingly. This profession would require an additional 2-year Master’s degree and includes a much wider scope of training, including neurological disorders, orthopedics, cardio-respiratory rehab, stroke rehab, pediatrics, geriatrics and burn patients.

For most injuries, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and ankle sprains, either would be sufficient to help you in the recovery process.
