Welcome to Trent Health in Motion
Trent Health in Motion is a private multidisciplinary clinic offering physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and sports health services on-site at Trent University. We serve students, staff, faculty, and the public at large.
With Trent University’s growing population of students and staff, there is an ever-increasing need to provide easily accessible health services on site. As well, Trent University must stay competitive with other universities in and outside of Ontario by providing comparable, if not superior, services for students, athletes, staff, and faculty. The new Health in Motion Physiotherapy & Sports Health Clinic is one way Trent University is leading the way.
Note: Health in Motion is a private clinic located on site at Trent University. Trent University has no ownership or direct proprietary interest in Health in Motion.
Who provides the on-site services?
On site services are provided by regulated health professionals, each known practitioners in the area and experts in their field.
Orthopaedic and sports medicine services is provided by Dr. J. Crawford Dobson, MD, FRCS (C). Dr. Dobson is a leading Orthopaedic Surgeon, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and is Board Certified with the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Dr. Dobson obtained his Fellowship in Sports Medicine in Ottawa and provided orthopaedic expertise to the Ottawa Roughriders, the University of Ottawa, and Carlton Varsity teams. Over the past 15 years Dr. Dobson has treated elite local, national and international athletes. He is currently affiliated with the Peterborough Petes Junior “A” hockey team.
Physiotherapy and related services including athletic therapy, massage, and kinesiology will draw largely on the resources of Peterborough Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Clinic, a longstanding member of the area health community. Additional resources and expertise are provided as needed by other area clinics such as Lindsay Rehab Health Centre, and Chemong Physiotherapy. Podiatric medicine and orthotics are provided by Beard & Webster Foot Care & Orthotics, the Kawarthas' largest provider of comprehensive foot health services.
What about benefits coverage?
Services are eligible for benefits coverage in whole or in part for faculty, staff, and students (who participate in Trent University's group coverage plan for students). Holders of other private insurance will also be covered according to the stipulations of their plan.
Convenience and ease of access is first and foremost. The clinic offers direct billing for students, staff, and faculty, saving on up-front, out-of-pocket expenditures. WSIB direct access is available for staff and faculty for any injury sustained on the job, with no physician's referral required or prolonged waiting time.
What are the operating hours?
The clinic shares use of its space with the University and therefore is open daily Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We are also open evenings only on Tuesday and Thursday in order to accommodate our clients schedule with work and classes.
