If you’re an athlete, at any level, you’ll want to meet Brooke. Brooke Edwardson’s resume and skillset with athletes is extensive, and recently she added to her resume with a Masters in Advanced Health Care Practice in Sports and Exercise Medicine (AHCP-SEM) from Western University. While in the program, Brooke focused on all aspects of delivering comprehensive sports medical coverage for a wide variety of venues. Additionally, she completed research on ACL-related injuries based on playing surface types in collaboration with several sports medicine and surgical physicians. Brooke says the experience gave her one-of-a-kind insight into the risks, prevention strategies, and keys to post-ACL surgical rehabilitation at the highest of levels.
Having originally graduated with a Masters of Physiotherapy from Western, Brooke has quickly developed into one fo London’s brightest and most dynamic sports physiotherapists. Brooke sees patients both on and off the field and when in clinic, she chooses to treat at Pro Function’s sports injury clinic due to the fact that the facility has 40,000 sq ft of turf and two weight-training areas which allows her to really challenge her patients as they return to activity/sport.
Professionally, Brooke has worked in various formats with Skate Canada, the Toronto Rock, at both the Canada Games and the Ontario Summer Games, with the Toronto Triathlon, St George Rugby, Great Lake Canadians (GLC) Baseball, and right here in London as the lead physiotherapist with FC London. Additionally, Brooke works as a consultant for GM Canada and feels the physicality and endurance required with line-side work mimics many of the soft tissue injuries commonly associated with the training errors seen in athletes.
Outside of the clinic, Brooke loves finding creative ways to stay active and is up for the challenge of trying out a new sport or skill. She enjoys running, rock climbing, hiking, water sports, and of course soccer! She also loves to travel and spend time with family and friends.
