Megan Silcox is an experienced therapist. She worked at the Pan Am Clinic for over 7 years. She spent two adventurous years in Peru with her family and recently returned to Winnipeg.
Over the years, Megan has pursued continuing education in many fields including manual therapy, exercise prescription and neuro-pathic pain. She is also licensed to practice acupuncture and prefers to use a multi-faceted approach to helping her patients recover from injury to their full potential. Megan enjoys the teaching aspect of her profession and believes strongly in the value of educating her patients about their condition/injury, helping them take ownership of their recovery and play an active role in it.

A shin splint, which is medically referred to as tibial stress syndrome, is a painful injury to the shin that commonly affects runners, but also dancers and other athletes.
Shin pain most often occurs on the medial side of the shin (termed medial tibial stress syndrome, or MTSS) but can also occur on the lateral or anterior side of the lower leg. Shin splint pain develops due to the overexertion of pressure on muscles in the lower legs causing stress on the tissues in that region.

Hamstrings are the group of muscles located in the back of the thigh. Muscle injuries in this region are quite common, especially in active individuals such as athletes.
This type of injury is usually very painful, and if the muscle has a tear, it will leave you with a lot of bruising.
These injuries often heal very well, however, in order to be able to regain full function of the hamstrings and correct any issues with your stride, appropriate rehabilitation is necessary.
