Sports Performance

Maximizing Your Sports Performance before the big event

Every serious athlete knows that if they want to be in peak physical condition before the big day that they have to train harder and longer than they would when maintaining their normal level of fitness. But with changing the intensity of your training regimen you also introduce new risks of injury, muscle fatigue, and burnout.

That’s why Pro Function is here to help.

Our team of practitioners have the diagnostic tools, manual therapy techniques, and exercises to help you identify potential areas of injury, avoid overextending yourself, and help you reach your peak performance level as you are going into your sports event.

Post Performance Recovery

If you’ve injured yourself during your event or want to make sure you are doing everything you can to maintain your fitness level after your performance Pro Function is also here to help.

At Pro Function our goal is not just to reduce pain or give you exercises and send you on your way, we work with you to identify the source of your injury and work with you at every step through to full recovery and prevention of recurrence or further injury. Our goal is to help you meet your goals – we tailor our approach to you, your specific sport, and your specific needs.

Your Team

If you are a semi-professional athlete or are in a sport or a league where you don’t have access to a team of medical practitioners then Pro Function is here to meet those needs and help you reach your goals!

Treatments

Treatments at Pro Function are comprehensive, goal oriented, and up to date. Our practitioners are proactive in updating their knowledge on the latest diagnostic and manual therapy treatment techniques and they bring that knowledge when tailoring a treatment plan to maximize your performance.

First Appointment at Pro Function

Your first visit to Pro Function consists of an extensive health history, orthopaedic and functional movement assessment with Dr. Nicole Thornicroft or Dr. Jordan Kersten.

All of our practitioners have years of experience in diagnosing and treating sports injuries and at our clinic you will find a helpful and understanding team atmosphere.

If you’re an athlete, at any level, you’ll want to meet Brooke! Brooke Edwardson’s resume and skill with athletes is not only impressive, but it just keeps getting bigger and better.  Having graduated with a Masters of Physiotherapy from Western University, Brooke knew without question that she wanted to work with top athletes – and she wasted no time making her mark. 

Brooke currently see’s patients inside Pro Function’s 40,000 sq ft facility which allows her to really engage and challenge with her patients in their chosen activity/sport. She also engages athletes outside the clinic.  Currently, Brooke sits as head of the medical team and lead physiotherapist for the FC London Soccer club and she has been a member of the medical support staff at our national Canada games.   She even volunteers her time and skills annually to a number of sport charity events. 


Now that might be enough for some, but not for Brooke. 

Brooke really is passionate about growing and sharing her knowledge with others.  Knowing that, it’s really no surprise that Brooke has been accepted to a unique, one-of-a-kind Masters program that specializes in Sports Medicine here in London at Western University.  In this program Brooke will collaborate with other sports Physiotherapist, Athletic Therapists, Sports Medicine Physicians, and Surgeons.   She’ll also gain an opportunity to complete her research study with Soccer Canada and gain experience with top-tier athletes from the NBA and the NHL. 

From growing up playing competitive soccer to working alongside Varsity athletes at Western University, to working at Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic, Brooke’s resume speaks for itself. 

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, hiking, water sports, and of course soccer!  She also loves to travel and spend time with family and friends.
