Kinatex sports physio is a specialized orthopaedic and sports medicine evaluation and rehabilitation clinic offering a full line of allied health services. One of those services was the conception of a mobile clinic back in 1991, the first of its kind in quebec. The kinatex sports physio event coverage team was created to fulfill our commitment to provide complete quality care outside of the clinic.
Mission
Our mobile events coverage team is devoted to offering as many clinical services as possible outside of the clinical setting. Our mobile team of professionals has extensive experience covering many international and national level events. Yet we also offer the same high level of care to the local community tournament or event. We have established a prioritized list to facilitate the reservation process. Events with the higher level of competition, injury risk and number of participants will be covered first and so on.

The mobile unit utilizes large ez-up tents and functions best as a first aid station for events like cycling tours or events that require a central emergency care facility and first aid station. The use of the tents allows users to easily identify the emergency care/first aid location and to allow for proper evaluation and protection from the elements.

The kinatex sports physio event coverage team is equipped with all the latest emergency care and first aid equipment necessary for bcls, trauma care and spinal support. Events of higher risk of injury will be evaluated for additional equipment requirements and personnel (dr's, emt/paramedic)

For adequate time to prepare and schedule personnel we require three – four weeks notice prior to the date of the event and a signed contract between the event organizing committee and kinatex sports physio.
