What We Do

Slate Athletic Therapy sees people with acute injuries (such as sprains, strains, or fractures), persistent or recurring problems (like nagging knee, shoulder, or lower back pain), and chronic pain. Our approach is rooted in providing a comprehensive and thorough assessment and treatment to optimize your recovery, improve your pain and function, and support your personal goals. Our team includes a Certified Athletic Therapist and a Registered Massage Therapist.

Maddie has taken particular interest in unravelling the complexities and nuances of chronic pain.

This includes understanding the dynamic anatomy and structural relationships, but also integrating an understanding of the nervous system’s response to persistent pain, emotional wellness, and the layers of adaptations that tend to develop around months or years of pain.

By incorporating training in CranioSacral and Visceral Manipulation techniques, somatic inquiry strategies, and understanding your unique experience, we can peel back the layers and make our way to uncovering the root cause of dysfunction.

Slate also provides specialized services to help moms recover from pregnancy and delivery. These services are intended to help moms re-establish their core stability, eliminate pain and dysfunction, safely return to activity, and restore overall physical wellness. Maddie has additional training in postpartum rehabilitation, external pelvic health, diastasis recti assessment and management, caesarean birth healing, and core recovery. We love working with moms- whether you’ve been a mom for 4 decades or 4 days- and helping them return to whatever activity level they desire without pain or dysfunction.

Everyone deserves to feel well- you certainly do not have to be an athlete to receive care!  Our appointments are always hour long, private, one-on-one bookings. This means no appointment staggering, no patient overlap, no double booking. Our approach allows for time for you to be heard, assessed, and treated effectively, and for the development of an individualized treatment plan that will fit in your life.  I will work with you to find the root cause of your concern and treat it effectively.

If you have pain or dysfunction that you are looking for help with, please get in touch with us. We are happy to discuss your unique needs and goals, and then book an initial assessment and treatment if it is right for you.

Feel better.
