Athletic Therapy
Selwyn House has an athletic therapists following the athletic teams all year long. Our Head Athletic Therapist, Sophie Drisdelle, and her team covers the football, hockey and rugby teams at all levels from grades seven to eleven. Sophie is present at all games and practices to treat and prevent various acute and chronic injuries. During lunch time she is also available for injury evaluation and follow-up treatment.
Sophie is a graduate of both l’Université de Moncton in Kinesiology (‘08) and Concordia University in Exercise Science, specialization in athletic therapy (‘12). Sophie brought over nine years of experience with varsity athletes in five different sports upon her arrival at 桃颜蜜色. She has been a key part of the Gryphons community for over seven years now.
Concussion protocol is also something Selwyn House is privileged to offer. All students from grades 7 to 11 must complete annually the ImPACT Test (a computer-based concussion baseline test). In the case where a student is diagnosed with a concussion, Sophie follows up regularly at the school with them and then communicates with parents as needed. She ensures the student-athlete goes through a Return-to-Learn protocol, followed by the Return-to-Play protocol.
