The Sports Medicine Council offers coverage for sports events around the province.

Our members provide on site assessment and treatment of injuries to the athletes. Treatment may include first aid care, provision of ice, massage therapy, assisted stretching and supportive taping techniques. We also make recommendations for continuing care, including referral to emergency rooms or to family physicians.
