History

ACS was founded in 2004 but conceptualized many years prior during Chalise’s years as a competitive athlete in the sport of Barbados, where she came to realize the need for specialist care for the sporting population. One that took the time and commitment to determine the causative factors of injuries and as well as provide treatment and rehab specific to the athletes sport or activity with the intention of education the athlete and assisting them with the a "rapid return to work and play".

Chalise sustained numerous injuries during her career but most noteworthy was her Achilles tendon rupture in 2001, through the arduous process of rehabilitation her Achilles and regaining mobility and strength for her to return to competition, she has had first hand experience of the differences between regular therapy versus being rehabilitated by an Athletic Therapist and utilizing the Sports Medicine Approach. She realized the need for specialist care for the physically active and sporting population.

Her passion lies in empowering athletes and clients alike through:

  • Knowledge and awareness of their bodies.
  • Understanding the relationship between their posture muscle fatigue and imbalances.
  • The importance of proper biomechanical techniques specific to their sport and the key muscles needed to perform those activities.
  • The desire is to ensure injuries which would have previously have crippled many athletes in their career would no longer be a primary factor for our athletes falling below their potential.

These desires drove her to provide a company whose philosophy embodies her own unique style and approach to the provision and delivery of active care to her clients. It embodies a patient centered approach, which encompasses the personal development and interest she has taken to improve her knowledge base in providing the highest caliber and results focused care.
