⚡ Laser Therapy arrives at Vikes
Thanks to your donations, the clinic is getting its first-ever multi-modality therapeutic unit, featuring:
- Laser therapy (a first for UVic!)
- Combination ultrasound and electrostimulation
- Neuromuscular electric and transcutaneous stimulation
This modern system is clinically proven to help treat:
- Tendinopathies
- Muscle strains
- Ligament injuries
- Wound healing, including lacerations and scar management
With over 200 built-in protocols and full anatomical libraries, this unit will not only serve athletes—it will also be a powerful educational tool for student therapists training at UVic.
💪 More tools = more support
Last year, donor funding allowed the clinic to expand its blood flow restriction (BFR) training equipment from one unit to three—tripling access to this high-performance rehab technology.
This made a big impact:
- More athletes received tailored return-to-sport training
- Therapists could now travel with equipment to regional and national competitions
- Rehab timelines improved, keeping athletes in action longer
This year’s goal: Use remaining donor funds to purchase even more BFR units and continue expanding access.
🚀 Investing in student-athletes’ well-being
Donor-funded technology is more than just equipment—it’s a competitive edge. Here’s what it means for our Vikes:
- Faster recovery times
- Lower risk of reinjury
- Higher performance potential
- Enhanced in-house care for travelling teams
With your continued support, UVic will remain a leader in athlete care across U SPORTS, giving our students the best chance to excel both physically and academically.
