Dr. Marco Lozej, Doctor of Chiropractic

Guelph, Ontario

I first came to Guelph in 1992 to study Human Kinetics and play varsity soccer and squash for the University of Guelph. Due to my fondness for our Guelph community I am happily still here 28 years later. These days you can find me active in the outdoors with my family of five, with friends or passionately working as a chiropractor striving to help my patients be the best they can be.

Professionally I have become one of the country’s leading chiropractors for athletes from the playground to the Olympics. I am the lead chiropractor at the University of Guelph Health and Performance Centre.

Through a combination of manual therapy, contemporary medical acupuncture, soft tissue techniques, and education on self-help strategies I meet patients’ needs by treating and proactively preventing injuries with the goal of enhancing performance. I provide chiropractic care to the Gryphon varsity athletes including collaborating directly with the track and field, soccer and hockey teams. I am the chiropractic provider to the Guelph Triathlon Project and also for Athletics Canada on multiple occasions since 2014.

What can you expect from a chiropractic session?

There is sometimes a misconception that chiropractic care always involves manipulation and leads to chronic care. I have a variety of diverse treatment tools that can be incorporated into your care, which may or may not include manipulation, depending on your condition. I will develop a treatment plan that will be evaluated and revised if unsuccessful. I can work successfully with the other disciplines to provide a comprehensive approach to your health and performance goals.

When facing a sports or activity-related injury, identifying the primary cause is key to successful treatment. Often pain in one body part is caused by abnormal patterns of movement involving the body as a whole. I specialize in performing interconnected functional assessments of my patients and then work with them to find solutions. When providing therapy, I am a highly skilled manual therapist. Most importantly, I work well in an integrated support team of practitioners on behalf of my patients.

Van Allen Insurance Inc.

At Van Allen Insurance, our commitment to the cycling and triathlon community runs deep. Co-owner Shane Van Allen is not only a seasoned triathlete himself but also a passionate advocate for the sport’s growth and accessibility. His firsthand experience competing in triathlons fuels our dedication to supporting initiatives like the Guelph Triathlon Club. As avid supporters and sponsors of the club, we believe in fostering a vibrant and inclusive triathlon community where athletes of all levels can thrive. By investing in events like the Guelph Triathlon Club, we aim to promote health, wellness, and camaraderie while empowering individuals to push their limits and achieve their athletic goals.

Just like your car or home, your bicycle is an investment worth safeguarding. Bicycle insurance offers financial protection in case of theft or damage. Think of it as a helmet for your pocketbook—keeping you (and your wallet) safe and sound when the unexpected happens. No two cyclists are alike, and neither are their insurance needs. That’s why many insurance providers offer customizable coverage options to suit your needs. Most home or tenant’s insurance policies do come with a monetarily capped coverage limit for bicycles, some can be as low as $1000. But, if you consider yourself a triathlete, a weekend warrior, mountain biker, or even a daily commuter, it’s likely you’ve invested more than that.

But do people actually purchase this insurance?

Absolutely! Just ask Nicole, a passionate Guelph Triathlon Club Executive Member, and one of our insured clients: “Van Allen has provided me and my family great service this year in additional insurance for my new triathlon bike purchase,” Nicole shares. “And adequate insurance for my home given the rising costs of replacement materials. It was a minimal amount but offers huge piece of mind.”

Navigating the world of insurance can feel like pedaling uphill. However, at Van Allen Insurance, insurance is our passion, and we are here to offer expert advice to help you find the perfect policy for your needs. From answering questions about coverage options to guiding you through the claims process, we’ve got your back every pedal of the way.
