STRIVE provides FREE massages at the Finish Line in Barrie!
STRIVE Sport & Exercise Medicine will be at the Barrie Triathlon again this year on August 8th-9th.
MultiSport Canada participants will be offered exclusive discounts for services year-round and free massages on site. This year, we thought you might like to learn about their new custom bracing if you are looking for personalized support for joints that need a little extra stability. As your training continues, we want to ensure you are getting the right information and please visit their tent anytime to learn more about post-race recovery.
In the early spring of 2023, STRIVE and MSC entered into collaborative discussions about the importance of recovery and on-site treatment at events. The attendance and overall feedback from athletes was positive as STRIVE’s team of physicians and industry experts are able to reach athletes when their timing is essential.
“Supporting active individuals in our community and beyond is a privilege, and we look forward to helping promote the value of active rehabilitation before, during and after such events.”
- Derek MacPherson, Physiotherapist and co-director at STRIVE
Our core values remain focused on the participant. This synergy between both organizations also reinforces athlete safety, ensuring the participant can also opt for getting advice on injury prevention. When two teams can leverage each other’s skills while the race is in progress, that level of cohesion allows for the overall athlete experience to be positive after an event.
“Partnering with MSC is a natural fit for STRIVE, as part of our mission is to promote “exercise is medicine” for all ages and abilities. STRIVE is happy to support the variety of events Multisport offers for both new and seasoned competitors alike.”
- Marnie Lavigne, MD and co-director at STRIVE
Booking inquiries can be done in advance here and STRIVE’s talented team is proud to be a series partner for our local triathlon, cycling, and running events in the Barrie community.
