Every active person from daily walker to weekend warrior to high performance athlete enters the world of physical activity with a goal. Goals may include: pleasure or recreation; maintaining physical abilities; losing weight; improving health, vitality and longevity; managing diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or depression; or performance goals from finishing your first race to competing in the Olympics.
In the effective pursuit of these goals, many obstacles such as illness, fatigue, or injury will slow down and frustrate these achievements. These injuries may be from acute traumas, repetitive strain, chronic continuous muscle contractions, or any combination of these. There are many risk factors that may contribute to any of these injuries and all must be addressed for the full resolution of the problem.
The Holistic Clinic has gathered together a team of active health care professionals that can address all of the relevant issues involved in injury management and prevention, healthy nutritional management of many health conditions, weight management, and many other health issues.
For training programs, guidance, and skill development, our web site links to most of the important Ottawa area resources that can help you achieve whatever goal you wish to pursue.
