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 second Brock Sport Medicine Clinic space marks the expansion of services previously offered only to student-athletes at Harrison Hall. 

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

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

Having the clinic located in the 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, including 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."  '

The Brock Sport Medicine Clinic is also currently hiring for three different positions – Chiropractor, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and Registered Massage Therapist. All job postings close on Friday, April 11 and positions are set to begin at the end of the month.
