“My back is so much improved and summer is almost here!”

"Injuries, the scourge of all athletes’, professional, amateur or the weekend warriors. I have played or coached hockey most of the 50 plus years that I have roamed from rink to rink. As a goaltender it's easy to get ice time, as an aging goaltender stopping the puck is also easy, recovering from injury is now the difficult and challenging part. The last thing I want to hear from any medical department or doctor is that at my age what do I expect. What I expect is to be evaluated honestly, professionally and treated in the most superlative manner possible to recover.

Athletes are an amazing group of individuals no matter the sport or the age. We look for every advantage to enhance our performance. It’s the same when we suffer an injury; we want the advantage, the edge, the most knowledgeable, and the best to get us back out there. When I injured myself earlier this season, I did not go to my family doctor, I did not go to the local sports clinic, I went to the athletic community. Athletes are the best at referrals, they know, they’ve been there. That's how I ended up in Tom’s office.

There are few in the medical field today that demonstrate the skill, ability and knowledge to understand the professional, amateur or the weekend warriors. Tom Sawa is one of those medical professional that not only is an expert in his field with years of dealing with every level of athlete but understands sports, participates in sports, coaches and most important understands the thinking of athletes their desire to get back to their sport, their addiction to be in the game.

Thanks to Tom’s professional evaluation of my injury, treatment plan, schedule and determination to help me recover I’m back five times a week much strong then before the injury. That’s the advantage, the edge, the enhancement to performance; it’s having the right expert in your corner, the medical professional who is also an athlete. Thanks Tom"

"Tom Sawa and I have known each other for thirty-four years. Tom is a good friend and an admired and respected colleague. Tom is a unique individual. He has the active experience of an elite athlete, the intuition of an excellent clinician, and the intellect of a professor/researcher.

Tom's knowledge of the shoulder is more than extensive. He has researched and written on the subject extensively over the years in conjunction with the development of a shoulder brace that is being marketed to professional and university athletic teams. It has been my distinct honour to know and to work with Dr. Tom Sawa for these many years."
