We let you know why we collect and use your personal information and get your consent

Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy identifies the purpose for which your personal information is collected and will be used or disclosed. If that purpose is not listed below, we will do this before or at the time the information is actually being collected.

  • performing statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics, in order to measure interest in and use of the various sections of this Site so as to improve the design, content and navigation of our Site and to gather marketing information. Only aggregated data from these analyses, not individual data, will be used for this purpose,
  • complying with legal and governmental requirements, and
  • fulfilling any other purpose that would be reasonably apparent to the average person at the time we collect it from you.

Changing your consent preferences

You can change your consent preferences at any time by contacting Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy’s Privacy Officer. To change your preferences, refer to the “How to contact us” section below.  Please note that if you do make such a change, you may not be able to benefit from all of the products or services available on the Site or, if applicable, as a member.

We limit collection of your personal information

Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy collects only the information required to provide products and services to you, and to manage your membership in Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy, if applicable. Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy will collect personal information only by clear, fair and lawful means.

We receive and store any information you enter on our Site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features and services.

We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses the Site. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as easy one-click purchasing, personalized greetings, and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s essential features, we recommend you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to checkout, or use any physiothereapy.ca products and services that require you to sign in.

Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information, such as browser type, version and timezone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; purchase history, which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers to create features such as “most popular” or lists; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time; cookie numbers; products you viewed or searched for; and the telephone number used to call our customer service number. We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

We limit disclosure and retention of your personal information

Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy does not disclose personal information to any organization or person for any reason, nor does it engage in the practice of selling or trading personal information to third parties for promotional or other purposes, except the following:

We may share your personal information with third party organizations in order to offer you a product or service. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples of situations where this may occur are include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from use and member lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. In addition, this may involve rental of pre-authorized mailing list labels which are prepared by Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy and obtained from our membership list data.  These other companies and/or individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. No addresses of individuals or companies are sold or traded for any purpose.

We may use service providers located outside of Canada, and, if applicable, your personal information may be processed and stored in other countries and therefore may be subject to disclosure under the laws of those countries.

You are deemed to consent to disclosure of your personal information for those purposes. If your personal information is shared with third parties, those third parties are bound by appropriate agreements with Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy to secure and protect the confidentiality of your personal information.

Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy retains your personal information only as long as it is required for our business relationship, or if applicable, to maintain or renew your membership, or as required by federal and provincial laws.

We keep your personal information up to date and accurate

Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy keeps your personal information up to date, accurate and relevant for its intended use.

To access your personal information, refer to the “How to contact us” section below.

The security of your personal information is a priority for Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy

We take steps to safeguard your personal information, regardless of the format in which it is held, including:

  • physical security measures such as restricted access facilities and locked filing cabinets
  • electronic security measures for computerized personal information such as password protection, database encryption and personal identification numbers. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you enter,
  • revealing only the last four digits of your credit card number and the expiration date when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing,
  • organizational processes such as limiting access to your personal information to a selected group of individuals, and
  • contractual obligations with third parties who need access to your personal information requiring them to protect and secure your personal information.

It’s important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and your computer. Be sure to sign off when you’ve finished using any shared computer.

Meet Julia! 👋 

Julia is a first year Masters of Physical Therapy student currently doing her practicum at the ASM St. Albert clinic.

Here’s a bit about Julia!

I grew up on Vancouver Island, BC and after finishing high school I travelled for several years before completing my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge. After graduating I moved to Fernie, BC where I was lucky to pursue many sports such as snowboarding, mountain biking, backcountry hiking and rock climbing. These sports are very fun and exciting (but pretty high risk!) and I saw lots of injuries occur in myself and my friends. Through this I was able to see the incredibly positive impact that Physical Therapy has on helping everyone return to their passions! I decided to return to school to complete my Masters so that I can be a part of that team! 

In my free time you can find me at the gym, running or biking in the river valley, cooking up big batches of new recipes to share with my roommates or friends, or heading back to Fernie to keep trying fun new sports! #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #student

Introducing Tannis! 

This week, we welcome physiotherapy student Tannis to the ASM south clinic.

Here’s a bit about Tannis:

I grew up in here in Edmonton on the south side area. I started my post-secondary journey at MacEwan University and completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at the U of A in 2019. After that I worked in clinic as a Kinesiology for a year when I decided to pursue my Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I chose this career because I have always been passionate about helping people reach their goals and growing up as an athlete directed me to this field.
 
In my spare time when I’m not doing schoolwork you can find me in the mountains, camping, or hanging with family and friends. 

Welcome Tannis! 👊🏽 #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #student

What are Hypopressives? 🤔 

The term ‘HYPOpressive’ refers to a reduction in pressure. Hypopressives are a form of exercise that aim to increase core strength while reducing pressure to the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities thereby reducing the risk of injury caused by increased pressure to these areas. The breathing component of hypopressives not only targets the core musculature but has also been seen to: 

* Decrease low back pain
* Improve posture and balance
* Promote healthy circulation
* Reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and associated conditions
* Reduce the risk of hernias
* Reduce stress and anxiety level

At Advantage Sport Medicine, many of our therapists, including our Athletic Therapist Carrie are trained in hypopressives. 

Carrie will be welcoming patients back in clinic beginning Tuesday, February 15!

To learn more about hypopressives or to book with Carrie, give us a call!
