UPCOMING DISTRICT COURSE
The Painful Shoulder
May 3-4, 2025
Western Ontario Sports Injuries and Rehabilitation Centre, 400 Cabana Road East, Windsor, Ontario N9G 1A3
OPA members: Login to receive member pricing: $576 + HST
Non-members: $720 + HST
This fun and informal two day course is designed for all therapists, regardless of their professional titles or experience, who are looking for a patient-centred, pragmatic, and practical approach to the assessment and management of all painful shoulder issues.
This course aims to give all attending the confidence that doing the simple things really well is both effective and evidence based. It also attempts to cut through most of the BS and show how many of the over complicated and confusing methods of assessment and treatments are just not needed. However, this course doesn’t promise any miracle cures or quick fixes! Instead, it focuses on a simple, honest, and practical approach that gives you lots of tips and ideas that you can use immediately with all who have painful shoulders.

DONATE YOUR KICKS CAMPAIGN
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the 2024 Donate Your Kicks Campaign!
We received a record breaking 190+ pairs of running shoes this year.
Thank you to Riverside Physiotherapy (with a record breaking 47 pairs of shoes), Leap Physiotherapy, Amherstburg Physiotherapy and Erie Shores Rehabilitation who all participated in collecting from the community. Special mention also goes to HDGH’s own Certified Rehab Assistant Kristy Ireland, who helped arrange an amazing donation from The Running Factory.
And thanks to our HDGH volunteers Evan and Meredith who worked diligently to clean, organize and deliver all of the shoes.
Without all of you participating and helping with collecting and organizing, these donations would not be possible.
We can’t wait to see what next year holds for this amazing cause!
