Port Moody SC partners with Lift Fitness & Physiotherapy to offer expertise and support to our PMSC Community players with Player Injury Prevention, Player Injury Management, and Sport Medicine Plan.
"We are very excited to be partnered up with LIFT Fitness and Physiotherapy for all of our strength and conditioning as well as injury and injury prevention needs. LIFT has been a local Port Moody Company for the last 12 years and has won multiple awards including #1 Fitness studio for the past three years."
LIFT's focus is on injury prevention and prehabilitation where they pride themselves on educating the individual/athlete on the strengths, and weaknesses in their body to try to prevent the injury from occurring in the first place. LIFT wants to keep athletes on the field competing and playing to the best of their ability while continuing to improve their skills. While no injury is 100% preventable, proper preparation can reduce the risk of injury but also reduce the severity if an injury were to happen which means less time is needed before a full return to play.
Why is this important? LIFT offers services to combat and prevent injuries from occurring. In combination with our sport-specific MPR assessment, activation prehab routine and triage assessments we are being proactive with preventing injuries from occurring and getting injuries and imbalances assessed early for injury prevention. We believe that we can help to bring that professionalism to grassroots. Clubs like the Vancouver Whitecaps, Arsenal and beyond have physiotherapists, strength and conditioning coaches, performance coaches all staffed to help their athletes prevent injuries from happening. LIFT is thrilled to offer these services to Port Moody Soccer Club.
What LIFT Provides PMSC? LIFT is please to offer the athlete community complimentary triage sessions to assess your injury and give you a return to play timeline along with a plan for treatment/rehab going forward!
Our Triage will be run by our Athletic Therapist Ryan Davies, Ryan has worked as an athletic therapist for clubs such as the Edmonton Elks and most recently the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Ryan's Bio: Ryan decided to pursue a career as a certified athletic therapist after a lifelong involvement in sport, playing basketball and football, and wanted to stay involved in sport after he finished playing. While earning a degree in Kinesiology he found that teaching other athletes how to reduce their risk of injury and help them return to play after an injury is what he was the most passionate about after going through injuries of his own. Ryan has 8 years experience as a therapist in varsity sports with the University of Alberta Golden Bears Football team, and MacEwan University Women’s Hockey. As well as professionally with the Edmonton Elks and most recently Vancouver Whitecaps. Ryan specializes in soft tissue release, manual therapy, prophylactic bracing and taping, injury prevention and assessment as well as rehabilitation and return to play programming. He holds additional certifications as a corrective exercise specialist and performance exercise specialist. One of Ryan’s goals is to take the rehabilitation and injury prevention process that is available to professional athletes and make it accessible to everyone, No matter if your goal is to keep playing your favourite sport, go hiking on the weekend or just be pain free throughout the week! When not at work you can find him playing ultimate frisbee and pickup basketball. Or more often than not trying to find anywhere in the lower mainland without concrete, going camping, hiking, or fishing whenever he has the chance. Ryan welcomes you to the LIFT experience.
