Fiola Sports Chiropractic
A visit at Fiola Sports Chiropractic (FSC) is much different than your typical chiropractic experience. The evaluation process is a specialized approach to detecting asymmetries, dysfunction and compensation patterns. In all athletes, where there is compensation, it is not a matter of if there will be an injury, it is simply a matter of when. Most of us will develop these compensation patterns as an adaptation to postural issues that arise from our day-to-day lives, both at home and in the workplace.
As a racquet sport, Squash follows the rules of all other sports…when an athletes is forced to adapt around functional deficits, there will be performance decline and risk of injury (either overuse or acute). Our unique approach helps to detect and correct these deficits in athletes to give them the best opportunity to stay on a healthy path to reach their full squash potential.
