Nicholson - Firefighter
Last
year when I was diagnosed with compartment syndrome, my goal of becoming a firefighter
seemed unattainable. To obtain the job, I had to complete a rigorous fitness test
within 12 weeks of the diagnosis. This was an obstacle as my doctor instructed
me to cease running for that time and advised me to consult Charlotte Littlejohn
of STARS to assist me with a program that would maintain my fitness level. Without
the assistance of STARS I may not have been able to reach my goal of becoming
a firefighter. Thanks again for your dedication and hard work! | |

& Tana Nash: Canadian Formation Skydiving Champions - Team Canada 2003
We have been competing since 1995
with the skydiving team
"Stratosfear"
and have relied on the services of WSM to get through over 2000 skydives. When
Rocky crushed both legs in 1998, he could not have returned to win the Nationals
without the help of WSM. "Waterloo Sports Medicine Centre was the
only
place I really felt the staff was committed to returning me to competitive skydiving."
says Rocky. "Everyone else felt the best I could hope for was to merely
walk again. I could not have realized my dreams without the helpful staff
at WSM." | |

Schwende Age: 16 Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds OHL Draft Pick
"I
have played competitive hockey in Waterloo for 8 yrs. and was recently drafted
by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. While playing in a semi-final,
my skate caught in a rut in the ice causing a severely sprained ankle. Dr.
Lee and Mike
Clermont were able to quickly assess my injury and told me that the recovery
time would be 6 to 8 weeks. With Mike's knowledge and assistance with treatments,
they got me "back in the game" in less than 4 weeks. Thanks to WSM for
your expert care which allowed me to return quickly to the sport I love to play!" | |
