Trevor Adamus of Martensville Collective Health and Wellness has always had a love for sports, participating in many himself while growing up in Saskatoon. Like many others, Adamus underwent athletic and physiotherapy as an athlete, which led him to his calling in physiotherapy. Adamus received a bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy at the University of Saskatchewan and his masters at Western University.
“With this experience, and love of health, I knew physiotherapy was the right profession for me. I get to help people stay active. It has many benefits to physical and mental health. Although I still enjoy participating in physical activity and athletics, I do also enjoy being involved as part of the team as a sport physiotherapist,” Adamus said.
For approximately ten years, Adamus has been providing services within the community at Martensville Collective Health and Wellness where he offers group athletic training, athlete strength and flexibility assessment to identify any muscle imbalances that can be limiting performance and increase the possibility of injury, baseline concussion testing and concussion management, spinal manipulations, dry needling and more.
“I am always surprised how many high level athletes compete with muscle imbalances. I am a big advocate for athlete strength and flexibility assessments. When those are corrected, it brings athletes to a new level of their performance as well as can prevent them from sustaining injuries,” Adamus added.
Throughout the years, Adamus has had the opportunity to work with some incredible athletes at a variety of sporting events such as; tennis, including the International Tennis Federation (ITF) at the Saskatoon Women’s Challenger, Professional Bull Riders (PBR) including many Canadian Finals, Track & Field including being involved with the Canadian Track Team at the World Junior Championships, Pan Am Jr Championships at the Canada Games, a range of hockey teams and events, high school football teams, volleyball including nationals, judo, gymnastics, rugby and more.
Most recently, Adamus attended the Saskatoon Women’s Challenger, which he has been a part of since 2019. Here, he provides athletic taping and physiotherapy to athletes and responds to on-court injuries.
“It is a nice change of pace to work on court out of the clinic. You get to meet athletes from many countries. I have been fortunate to be involved with multiple sports over the years where I have met athletes, therapists, and coaches from around the world and it is always nice to hear and learn from their experiences.”
When not on the court, Adamus is always looking for new opportunities to provide athletes at MCHW, where he is currently providing spring and summer athlete training, as well as individual strength and flexibility assessments and programs.
“With my special interest in Sport Physiotherapy and biomechanics, I enjoy working with athletes to team proper work out routines and movement patterns. Programs are tailored to the athletes sports, targeting appropriate muscle groups and energy systems.”
