Commit fully to an active life without fearing avoidable (re)injury
No matter what level you play at, every athlete—even those in perfect health—knows that temporary hurdle of post-game and workout soreness that comes with hard work.
But an injury, and the pain and limitations that come with it, can feel like an immovable barrier to living the life you want. Our functional Heal + Prevent™ approach—featuring injury rehab, movement analysis and movement optimization—helps fitness buffs get back to their favourite activities and stay strong. Don’t let injury or suboptimal movement stop you from dominating at competitions, leveling up your workout or having fun with friends.
Soar past pain, limited mobility and weakened performance quicker
Recovering from injury, finding your peak fitness level and building a strong foundation for lasting wellness can be easier than you think with Hamilton physiotherapy and rehab experts.
Prevention takes less effort and time than repair. Apply that thinking to your fitness, and unlock new physical power, mobility and endurance potentials. At Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance, we help you find your way back to an active life with an optimized body and mind. We combine physiotherapy with personal training designed for your maximum performance.
Avoid being in the 8% who drop sports due to injury
It’s heartbreaking, but many people let injuries disrupt their activities for far too long, with about 1 in 12 dropping their sport altogether. For those who do keep playing, reinjury is common.
This doesn’t have to be your story. Find the healing strategies to get back to living your life to the fullest. Achieving your best performance isn’t just about addressing current injuries, it’s about avoiding them. Our preventative lifestyle and movement optimization strategies keep you strong.

What’s Your Sport?
Whatever your sport or activity, it requires functional movement and fitness optimization
Tennis
Feeling achy pain on the outside of the elbow or in the shoulder joint? Is a stiff or sore neck keeping you off your game? Shoulder, elbow and neck pain—such as from tennis elbow or shoulder bursitis—can progress to an intensity where you have to stop playing and using your arm to do normal everyday things becomes difficult. But it doesn’t have to get that!
With our Heal + Prevent program, your body heals faster, and you learn efficient overhead, forehand and backhand swing mechanics—you may even hit the ball harder, with more spin than before. Get back to the court and crush it.
Dance
Feeling a stabbing pain in your foot or inner thigh? Have an aching hip? Injuries like stress fractures, patellofemoral pain syndrome, Achilles tendonitis and snapping hip can result in increasing pain that prevents you from dancing altogether or even using your legs normally from day to day.
Our Heal + Prevent program creates the optimal healing environment and teaches you optimal movement patterns that result in stronger and more stable spring-like legs and feet. Get back to your dance family and express yourself freely, pain free—whether in a jeté, throwdown or free spin.
Golf
Are nagging shoulder, inside elbow, or mid- to low-back pains keeping you off the greens? Golf’s repetitive high-velocity swings and intense rotational forces commonly generate this agony. Left untreated, these injuries can compromise your game and your daily activities.
Through our Heal + Prevent program, you’ll practice movement that gives you a stronger, more stable core and pain-free agility. Get ready to take your improved swing mechanics and power generation to the fairway and go for a hole-in-one.
Volleyball
Are knee, shoulder and neck pain causing you to fault? Injuries like jumper’s knee and shoulder bursitis can force you into a long-term time-out on the court in everyday life. But there’s an alternative that takes you from pain to stronger-than-ever spikes and jumps, and we’re here to serve it to you.
With our Heal + Prevent program, you learn optimal movement patterns that give you the stronger and more agile legs and arms needed to take your game to the next level. Step back onto the court with your newfound superpowers and be the ace that you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between physiotherapy and personal training?
Physiotherapy aims to restore and enhance function before, during and after injury, which can help you regain your strength and lead the life you desire.
Personal training can help you achieve your next-level fitness and athletic goals, pushing you toward reaching your full potential.
Personal training under the guidance of a physiotherapist is a game-changer. It incorporates advanced physiological and functional movement expertise to give you the best program for your body. It helps you achieve your goals now while also safeguarding your body for the future.
Do you work with people who don’t need physio?
Yes! Our physiotherapist-guided personal training program helps you achieve your fitness goals—such as improved power, mobility, speed and body weight—even if you’re not injured. Choosing Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance means you will learn the safest movement patterns for your body while strengthening your weak spots to help reduce the risk of injury.
What should I look for when choosing a Hamilton physiotherapy and rehab therapist?
Look for someone qualified, with a specific focus that aligns with your needs. For example, if you’re interested in physiotherapy due to a sports injury, choose a physiotherapist who specializes in that area and can provide injury-preventative and performance-enhancing personal training.
Check whether a physiotherapist is registered with the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR), which ensures high professional standards and adherence to the Code of Practice for practitioners across Canada.
Smaller clinics are often a great choice because they offer personalized attention and customized treatments. Ideally, you should look for a physiotherapist who is located within a comfortable distance and offers in-home and virtual sessions for added convenience.
Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance checks all the boxes.
Can you guarantee results?
We guarantee that our recommended Heal + Prevent program will result in improvement. If you don’t feel and move better, we’ll pay for your first appointment with another Hamilton physiotherapist or personal trainer.
What is the Heal + Prevent program?
Our Heal + Prevent program is a customized wellness journey that will educate, rehab and strengthen your body and mind. It usually involves several physiotherapy and/or personal training sessions strategically designed to help you reach your specific goals.
Are all clients offered the Heal + Prevent program?
We may not offer some clients a Heal + Protect program, depending on the factors we assessed during our initial assessment. Sometimes, clients book sessions as needed without the Heal + Protect program format.
What do I need to bring to an appointment?
All you need to bring along are workout clothes you can comfortably move in and your water bottle!
Can you come to my home?
Yes, we can provide in-home physiotherapy sessions in many circumstances. Please indicate your preference and address when booking, and we’ll confirm availability.
Are virtual appointments available?
Yes! While in-person sessions enable physical contact for deeper movement assessment, we offer virtual personal training sessions and, when critical, virtual physiotherapy sessions. When booking, indicate your preference, and we’ll confirm availability.
For a virtual appointment, you will need an adjustable webcam so we can view your movements from optimal positions. Choose a room that gives you enough space to move around. Some simple exercise equipment is helpful but not necessary—we will recommend any equipment that would benefit you. Wear comfortable workout clothes and have water on hand, just as you would in the clinic.
Will my insurance cover this and do you offer direct insurance billing?
Yes, we offer direct insurance billing. At Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance, we work with most major insurance providers and do our best to make dealing with insurance as pain-free as possible. If you’d like us to confirm your physiotherapy insurance coverage, just let us know when you book. If your provider requires a co-pay, we accept cash, cheque or credit card.
Do you treat motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries?
Yes, we treat motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries. Ontario law regulates MVA billing procedures. If you have extended health insurance benefits, we must utilize those benefits before billing your car insurance company. For more details, please contact your car insurance claims adjuster. When scheduling your appointment, please inform us that your injury results from a motor vehicle accident. We are here to support your recovery and help you confidently return to an active lifestyle!
Do you treat work-related injuries under WSIB?
Yes, we treat work-related injuries that are billed through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Before your physiotherapy appointment, please report your injury to your employer and submit the necessary paperwork to WSIB. When scheduling your appointment, inform us that your upcoming session will be billed through WSIB. Let’s get you back to living your fullest life!
Improvement Guaranteed, or We’ll Pay for a Session With Another Therapist
When you join our Heal + Prevent™ program, you’re embarking on a customized wellness journey that will educate, rehabilitate and strengthen your body and mind. In the unlikely event that our recommended program doesn’t result in improvement, we’ll pay for your first appointment with another Hamilton physiotherapist or personal trainer.
How can we be so confident?
Because we’ve already helped many, many people improve their health, well-being and athletic performance.
