Injuries Happen to the Best of Us
Reality is such that, at some point during their career, the majority of athletes and performing artists will sustain an injury. How an individual manages their injury can have a considerable impact, either positive or negative, on their mental state and rehabilitation outcome. Rehabilitation outcome will ultimately impact performance.
When working with injured athletes and performing artists, our focus is to help the individual understand and adhere to the rehabilitation process, approach injury rehabilitation with the same focus and attention as training, and develop the mindset that will enable a confident return to performance.
The focus of injury rehabilitation counselling is to help the individual cope with the emotional and physical aspects of the injury. We'll help you learn the mental skills that will help the body heal and also help you stay in tune with the physical part of performance even though you may be temporarily sidelined. Special attention is placed on mental and emotional health, confidence, and creating a return-to-play plan.
In addition to musculoskeletal injuries, Natascha works extensively with athletes and artists managing the emotional and psychological effects of concussion. Natascha will help you navigate the realities of return to play, manage the uncertainties and challenges of concussion recovery, and learn to stay connected with your athletic and performance-based identity throughout the rehabilitation process.
