Talbot Trail Physiotherapy Joins NHL Alumni All-Star Game
Talbot Trail Physiotherapy was proud to be the supplier of physiotherapy services for the NHL Alumni All-Star Game in St.Thomas on April 27th, 2012.
Joining the game were retired NHL players like Hall of Famer Marcel Dionne, three-time 50-goal scorer Rick Vaive and tough guy Marty McSorley, twice a Stanley Cup winner, as well as Walter Gretzky, ambassador for the game. Younger Gretzky, Brent also joined in the fun. Celebrity referee Dave Hutchison, a hard-nosed defenceman in his playing days, kept all the guys in line.
The NHL Alumni team came to not only battle the Law Enforcement All Stars, but also join forces to raise money for Special Olympics Ontario. It was a night filled with an exciting blend of hockey skill and fun.
Congratulations to all of our Talbot Trail Physiotherapy patients who entered our special draw for tickets to the game by visiting the Talbot Trail Physiotherapy website at www.TalbotTrailPhysioptherapy.ca.
Take a look at some highlights from the night...

New treatment for concussions
ST. THOMAS - Anyone who has believes they have suffered a concussion can now get the same level of diagnosis and treatment in St. Thomas as an NHL player.
The best available diagnosis is now available at Talbot Trail Physiotherapy using the Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPact) strategy.
Working with Talbot Trail Physiotherapy is Walter Gretzky, father of former NHL superstar Wayne Gretzky.
The ImPact testing system is the same one used to diagnose concussions symptoms by pro sports teams all over North America and around the world.
“An individual can get a concussion by simply jarring their head suddenly or falling on the ground,” said Chris Streib, owner of Talbot Trail Physiotherapy.
Streib said older concussion treatment strategies relied on patients receiving advice from doctors to simply take it easy and rest for a few days after receiving a concussion injury.
“The problem is concussions cannot be diagnosed like a broken arm, or the flu or just about any other medical issue,” Streib said. “It's that long-term evaluation that's lacking.”
In many cases, people who suffer concussions recover quickly without complications, Streib said.
“Typically, 80% of concussions are better after two weeks,” he said.
A wait-and-see attitude has been the approached used by most of the medical community in the past, Streib said.
“What we're doing is educating the public to fill in that gap,” Streib said.
Steib said using the ImPact diagnosis and treatment regimen will allow a new approach.
Two physiotherapists and a chiropractor at Talbot Trail Physiotherapy have been trained how to use ImPact.
Part of the ImPact system involves follow up testing to see how the brain is reacting to the effects of a concussion injury.
“We'll be looking at issues like attention span, working memory, sustained and elective attention time and non-verbal problem solving,” Streib said.
Walter Gretzky became involved with supporting the ImPact program after being a patient at Talbot Trail Physiotherapy.
“If a concussion is not treated properly, you can have side effects for the rest of your life,” he said. “Sometimes we tend to take concussions too lightly.
One of the first groups in the community to take advantage of the procedure were members of the Aylmer Spitfires Junior C hockey club who had players evaluated recently.
Talbot Trail Physiotherapy joins Walter Gretzky in launching concussion unit
Wednesday March 14th was a hotbed of media activity at Talbot Trail Physiotherapy, as we launched the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test, (ImPACT) initiative with Walter Gretzky.
The CTV London News, the local radio, Aylmer Express and the St. Thomas Times-Journal were all present to report on this very topical issue.
Talbot Trail Physiotherapy will utilize the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test, (ImPACT), the first and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system in the world. The ImPACT system is the same testing method used by all NHL teams, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and others. ImPACT is not only for athletes. An individual can get a concussion by simply jarring their head suddenly or falling on the ground. This initiative will be led by Andrew Mayer, the resident Talbot Trail Physiotherapy concussion specialist.
In the past few years, there has been a paradigm shift in the management of concussions. Patients were often told to “take it easy” for a few days and then to return to work or play. The problem is that concussions cannot be diagnosed like a broken arm, or the flu, or just about any other medical issue. This new tool will be invaluable to help prevent both the short and potentially long-term functional brain impairment.
Physiotherapy service opens in West Lorne
An injury changed Chris Streib’s life.
Streib is the owner of Talbot Trail Physiotherapy, which had its official grand opening Feb. 3 at the Heritage Community Hub at 146 Munro St., West Lorne. Streib was originally studying to be a teacher at McMaster University, until he practically fell into physiotherapy.
Streib was at McMaster’s studying math, history and phys ed, and phys ed was going to be his primary. He spent five years playing volleyball, and suffered an ankle injury in his fifth year, which is what introduced him to physiotherapy.
“I stepped out on a guy’s foot as I was trying to close the block…I could feel my tibia torque. I thought I was going to break my leg,” said Steib. “All of our team trainers were phyiso’s. That was my first exposure to physiotherapy.”
Steib got hooked on physiotherapy through his love and interest in human anatomy, and decided to start his own physiotherapy business.
Talbot Trail Physiotherapy opened its first clinic in Aylmer in 2002. The business grew with a second location in St. Thomas in 2006, followed by a physiotherapy and musculoskeletal clinic in St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital in 2008. Another clinic in Woodstock was added in 2010. The West Lorne clinic is their latest. 
“I’m very excited. In the three months that we’ve been here, the support has been great,” said Streib. “I’ve always been a big proponent of getting service into the smaller towns so people aren’t having to drive.”
Talbot Trail offers rehabilitation for conditions including back and neck pain, ankle/foot pain, tennis elbow, muscle pains, sports injuries, vertigo, bracing, and many other conditions.
During the grand opening, Walter Gretzky, father of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, made an appearance. Gretzky has been a patient of Talbot Trail for the last year, receiving Myopulse treatments to calm a tremble in his hand.
“I’ve seen the results. I’m one of them,” said Gretzky as he held out his hand to demonstrate its steadiness.
Gretzky shared his story of physical rehabilitation following his stoke in 1991. Gretzky spent ten months in the hospital. He recalled standing using the support of two parallel bars, and at first he couldn’t even lift his legs, but could only swivel from side to side.
“Rehab is the reason I am standing here before you today,” said Gretzky. “I had to relearn life. Totally relearn. I didn’t know how to open a door. I didn’t know shoes went on your feet.”
