I would highly recommend this clinic, I recently had a nagging knee injury that was holding me back from really getting into my running training as I wasn't able to increase my pace or distance without encountering some nagging injuries. I worked with Katie who really helped me address some muscular imbalances to help avoid some compensations I had built into my gait from various old soccer injuries. After my current injuries were mostly addressed with Katie I did a running assessment with Caroline to help me fix potential issues with my form to avoid future injuries as I returned to my training. She noted that for the most part my form was good, however the suggestions she provided for improvements have already made significant improvements to how I feel when out running and I feel far more capable of increasing my mileage and pace without a corresponding increase in pain in my joints. I would highly recommend both Katie and Caroline and although ideally I won't need to be visiting a physio in the future, if I do I'll be coming back to them. Update: Now that its been about a year since this review I wanted to give an update. Over the past year I've had a few appointments for some minor things but haven't had any major injuries that kept me from running consistently. I've run approximately 1,400 km over the past year (for reference I ran about 140km in 2020 and 275 km in 2021) and with that consistent training was able to run personal bests for 10k and half marathon this year. I won't ever be an elite runner but having the ability to train, and train hard, without recurring injuries I do think I can reach some milestones that otherwise would never have been possible.

I have been a patient of THE Downtown Sports Clinics off and on for over 15 years, and I hold them in the highest regard. I have always received top notch care in a welcoming environment - whether at the front desk or providing patient care, the staff are knowledgeable and highly personable. At the Bow Valley Square location, I have received a very high quality of care for some stubborn neck/back issues from Siobhan. Her invaluable experience, utilization of a range of techniques (including needles/acupuncture, manipulation) and desire to get me back to normal have always minimized the length of time I have needed to attend physiotherapy for a given ailment. I also have seen Julie Moylan and at the Barclay Centre location for knee and foot issues. I always enjoy learning something new during an appointment with Julie, who is keen to share the latest research and knowledge relevant to my issue. Her knowledge and experience, combined with her encouragement, have helped me get better and stronger. I can also recommend Luther, who works at both locations, for massage. He is very knowledgable and adapts his treatments according to what is needed on the day. Luther is professional and cares about his patients. Julie also connected me with their on-site Pedorthist, Patrick. Although I did not need orthotics in the end, Patrick and Julie recommended an effective treatment and strengthening plan. Having multiple services at one location was very convenient for me. All in all, THE Downtown Sports Clinics are THE only place(s) I recommend for physiotherapy, massage and orthotics.

  • Bianca Courtright

I have been going to THE Downtown Sports Clinic (Bow Valley) for 8+ years. As an engineer working downtown, it’s extremely accessible during the work day and I know I’m always in good hands. The physio therapists (Siobhan, Lori, and Jennifer) have all helped me out! I’m impressed that they are up to date on new techniques - I’ve even had acupuncture as a treatment for my twisted ankle. They are all professional, and great at listening to address the specific issue. What I like the most is that they’re great at focusing on improving the issue, but also suggesting preventative maintenance and/or strengthening exercises so that the injury will not happen again. Jennifer was especially helpful after my motor vehicle accident and assisted with all the paperwork to ensure I could focus on getting better. I also received massage therapy treatment at the same time. It was great to have the physio and massage therapists at one clinic who were both familiar with my situation. I currently see Michelle for massage therapy - she is punctual and always inquires how much pressure to apply. The admin staff are wonderful at accommodating my schedule when I call in for an appointment – thanks! THE Downtown Sport Clinic is excellent, as they really care about their patients. The staff are personable, professional, and I would recommend them.

  • Alison Glubrecht

I have been seeing Jeff Nessler ever since my car accident in 2009, which in turn made the Downtown Sports Clinic in Bow Valley Square my second home. Natasha, the Office Manager, has an understanding of each and every client and always makes time for a quick chat, which makes your visit very personal and puts a smile on your face and in your heart. Jeff has incredible knowledge of the body and works his magic no matter what the issue is. If I can no longer manage the pain in my neck, back, knees or shoulders I immediately call Jeff. Depending on where and what is causing my pain, Jeff can relieve it after one or two treatments. If anyone I know is in need of a physiotherapist, the first words out of my mouth are "you need to go see Jeff Nessler at the Downtown Sports Clinic in Bow Valley, he is amazing" Jeff is a very a honest, caring and compassionate person. He does not try to get you to book week after week after week just to make a buck. He truly listens to his patients, his friends and treats you accordingly. Jeff has a healing effect that I just can't explain other than I trust him with every muscle and bone in my body.

  • Abhishek Bhowmik

This is my first time going for such treatment and I was unsure about what to expect. But the clinic has been very helpful and guided with the paper work and appointment booking process. Special shout out to Mary Chow and Jennifer Andrews. Mary has been very very helpful. Listening to the issues I have been facing with my body and chalked out a well planned treatment schedule. She has been guiding through the exercises which are focussed on treating the issues with my body and also carried out physiotherapy session for the body and I already feel much better. Jennifer has been helping me with my concussion. She has run thorough diagnostics of my brain and vision functionality through various tests and have been helping with exercises which would address those issues. And the results are quite evident. The clinic and it's professionals from the front desk to the therapists has made feel very welcome and I do feel I am at the perfect place for treatment.

I have been seeing Sarah Mecredy for my lower back pain (Herniated Disk) since September 2018. My pack-pain was so severe that I was crawling at home for several days...saw few Chiro people but didn't go anywhere until a friend referred me to this clinic and Sara. Sara is an excellent physiotherapist that cares about you, answers all your questions with patient and also do not miss a single minute of 45 minutes you book with her. I used to go to a Chiro person who spent <3 minutes on me each time and charged me $50 for that. Anyways, my back-pain has decreased notably and I have seen clear improvement in my body. She also gives you lots of homework which really helps you recover faster. He needling technique is also really helpful... painful for a minute but I have seen great results and every single time she applies them to my body, my body responds very well...all in all I highly recommend this clinic and Sara for her great work...thank you!

  • Linda C. Gardner

I have been seeing Siobhan Duggan at The Downtown Sports Clinics - Bow Valley Square for many, many years. I have both back and shoulder problems. I remember when I was referred to her by my doctor in 1989. He said that she "was the best back physiotherapist in the city." She is, indeed, an awesome physiotherapist. She is extremely skilled at her craft. With her guiding hand, I lead a fairly active life. I trust her implicitly and have often referred friends and colleagues to her and her clinic. On rare occasions when she has been away on vacation, I have seen other therapists at the clinic. The ladies at the front desk are just delightful. They are so helpful and welcoming. My only fear is what will I do if Siobhan ever retires? Thank you, Siobhan, to you and everyone at your clinic for the kindness and care that I have received over the years. I look forward to seeing you at my next appointment. Linda G.

  • Lisa Pye

The clinic has far exceeded all of my expectations! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics over the years and have never continued with them. The Clinic is so well organised and managed. The whole staff are friendly and treat the patients as if they are friends. Siobhan Duggan has been there with me for over 4 years. Her professionalism, rapport with the staff and her real caring for all her patients is amazing! She is the main reason that i am finally healthy and in one piece! Siobhan's quality of care, her supreme knowledge and the amount of time spent with me on each visit was incredible. Siobhan Duggan will have me as patient for life! I look forward to my appointments with her. She has me wanting to do all my exercises and homework! I cannot say enough great things about the whole Clinic. Anne Scott

I highly recommend Caroline Trajan at Bow Valley Square! I started seeing Caroline via virtual care at the beginning of COVID to help trouble-shoot some pain I was experiencing while running. Caroline did an amazing job helping me to correct some issues with form and target areas to strengthen/stretch, through the virtual care model! Now that the clinic is open again I have seen Caroline for a more in-depth assessment of my running and she has been extremely helpful at helping rehabilitate a few areas of minor tendinitis, before they started to interfere with my running program. Caroline is extremely knowledgeable and I love that her goal is always to get you back to your sport as quickly as possible! Highly recommend booking a physio session with Caroline if you are an athlete and/or runner!!

  • Shauna Pelletier

I see Caroline for sport related injury and she is absolutely phenomenal. She listens to exactly where I’m having issues and is able to give me exercises and stretches that aren’t overwhelming or time consuming (so I actual do them to get better…). She is always happy to also listen to other issues I’m having: correcting gym form, other problems not related to my sports injury, ect. and is able to work in things to also relieve those while still focusing on the main problems. Everyone at the Sports Clinic is super friendly and it’s a space that is always welcoming and judgement free. 10/10 highly recommend - they’ll make sure you are getting the best care for the problems you are having to make sure you walk away feeling better and with tools to help future problems from occurring.

  • Nicole Leonard

Caroline is the best. I was in incredible pain throughout my TMJ joint and did some research into TMJ physiotherapists in Calgary. I came across Caroline in that search. Firstly, I was able to get in to see her quickly which was important considering how uncomfortable I was. Secondly, she's ridiculously knowledgeable. She not only fixed my issue within a couple sessions but also gave me helpful strength exercises and stretches to do between sessions so the pressure doesn't start building again in-between. I went as far as to recommend her to my dentist who is now sending her referrals. 10/10, will continue to see her and I recommend you do too especially if you are experiencing TMJ issues. Also- the front desk staff are ridiculously friendly as well.

  • Mark Oliver

I have seen several of the physiotherapists and massage therapists at The Downtown Sports Clinic in Bow Valley Square, as well as at previous locations, over the past 33 years. They have treated me for a number of ailments related to running, skiing, motor vehicle accidents and general wearing out of old body parts. My experience has always been excellent, with a thorough assessment and then the development of a suitable rehabilitation plan. I have recommended their services to many friends, colleagues and family members, and all have had good success. Thank you to Lori and Michelle for keeping me active and to Natasha and Icah for their help at reception. Congratulations Julie and Siobhan, both of whom have treated me in the past, on your success!

  • Lesley Stang

I have been going to the Downtown Sports Clinics for over twenty years - whenever I need to see a physiotherapist. I have a chronic back/neck issue from an injury years ago that has been successfully treated whenever it flares up. I truly think they provide exceptional service and care and I trust them 100% with my neck and back. They are committed to helping patients return to or stay active and are masters at diagnosing what is really going on. Recently, I needed to have my two teen daughters assessed and once again was completely satisfied with how they treated their injuries. Thanks Siobhan and Lori for extraordinary care and to Natasha for always finding a spot for me in the schedule. True professionals!

  • DURVAN Cooper

I had an incredible experience with Mary Chow, my amazing physiotherapist! Her expertise and knowledge in her field are truly remarkable. Mary went above and beyond to ensure I received the best care possible. From the moment I walked into her clinic, she greeted me with a warm and friendly smile, instantly putting me at ease. Mary's friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable throughout our sessions, and I felt like she genuinely cared about my well-being. Her deep understanding of the human body and her exceptional ability to diagnose and treat my condition were impressive. I highly recommend Mary Chow to anyone in need of a skilled, friendly, and knowledgeable physiotherapist. She is simply the best!

  • Richard Wong

Caroline Trajan has been a life saver. A few months ago I suffered a hip and back injury which prevented me from running. Caroline expertly worked with me to identify potential issues, and then assigned a combination of treatments including: at-home exercises, a recovery running program and dry needling to get me back on the track. She was also readily available between physio sessions via email to answer any questions that I had. After a few weeks I was back on my feet, and since then I’ve worked back up to training for my next race! I highly recommend Caroline’s services for all the runners who need to work through those annoying injuries which can knock us off our feet. Thanks Caroline!

  • Phil Rix

I've been seeing Siobhan Duggan for 9 years and highly recommend her as an outstanding physiotherapist. She is an expert in her field and excels in the diagnosis of the medical issue. Siobhan is an astute listener, which is critical to patient care and enables her to create a customized treatment plan for each client. She has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations. Siobhan was successful in retaining my mobility prior to a hip replacement and in strengthening my muscles after surgery. She has also been instrumental in the recovery of a pinched nerve in my neck. Siobhan's office staff are competent and courteous. Kudos to the Bow Valley Downtown Sports Clinic! Carol R.

  • Kamal Malick

I came into TDSC - BVS last August with an extreme case of sciatica in my left leg. I was on a wheel chair on my first visit. I am happy to say that after working with Caroline Trajan, physiotherapist, for about 3-4 months, I am able to walk straight and return to a normal exercising routine. She worked with me, listened to my concerns, educated me about the body along the way and gave meaningful exercises to alleviate the pain and get me back in shape. I never felt under pressure to keep visiting the clinic, in fact, she was more than aware that these treatments can be quite costly. Thank you Caroline and TDSC for helping me recover from my sciatica and getting my life back.

  • Phillip Stawowiak

Amazing service from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. Very timely and well mannered staff! I have been seeing Caroline Trajan for over a year now and I go to her anytime I have a problem. She always listens to what I have to say and genuinely takes the time to find the real issue at hand. She not only helps me get back to where I was but helps focus on ways to improve things so they don't happen again. She also gives great techniques for strengthening that I would have never considered and they really work! Amazing person and even better physiotherapist! Cannot speak more highly of The Downtown Sports Clinic and what Caroline has done for me!

  • RhiAnne Brown

Caroline was pivotal in getting me back on my feet and enjoying all of my favourite activities. She provided immediate relief for my SIJ pain & then worked with me to strengthen the muscles that support good SIJ functioning. Along the way she was able to identify other areas of weakness/imbalance/compensation & create a treatment plan to address those issues. She was great at checking-in in between sessions & was always extremely responsive to e-mails. Caroline is extremely knowledgable, personable & respectful of any boundaries/fears you may have (e.g., with needling) - she will work with you to find a treatment plan that is right for you!

  • Marvin Brown

This past 6 months I have been under the care of Siobhan Duggan at The Downtown Sports clinic. After 2 hip replacements and many years of extreme pain when walking I thought that this was going to be the norm for the rest of my days. Siobhan looked at my issues and took a step back to evaluate what the issues with me were. Worked with my personal trainer and designed a rehabilitation program that has brought me to a place today that I thought would never come. I have not felt this goods in the past 8 years. I cannot thank her enough for helping me to get here. I highly recommend this clinic if you have pain and want resolution.

  • Irene D.

I called the clinic one morning because of a very bad stiff neck, fortunately, the accommodating receptionist found a spot for me to be seen that day. Caroline Trajan is an excellent physiotherapist. After the first session, my neck improved, that I could already do a shoulder check which I needed when I drove home that day. She knows her stuff, committed in helping her patient, made me feel comfortable, great in explaining things, and she gave me some exercises that I could do to avoid having the same issue. Just after a few sessions, I was back to working out regularly. I would definitely recommend this Clinic and Caroline!

  • Donna Bradley

When I have unexplainable neck, back, or hip pain, I turn to Siobhan Duggan. Through her comprehensive questioning and full examination of all the inter-related parts, she uncovers the underlying weakness and gives me targeted stretching and strengthening exercises. Usually, it only takes 2 or 3 visits to get me back on track. Siobhan emphasizes doing a manageable number of exercises knowing that were I to be overwhelmed, I probably wouldn't do them. She also explains my overall structural problems in my back and reminds me of the critical exercises I need to do on a maintenance basis to stay out of trouble.

  • Ender Cheung

I chose the Downtown Sports Clinic, Bow Valley Square location through word of mouth. Katie Hung, my physiotherapist was very thorough in her analysis of my sore lower back, by asking questions as well as having me demonstrate various exercises. She created a series of exercises that I could do daily at home, during my golf round and afterwards that helped to take some of the pressure off my lower back. These core and lower back stretches are helping to stabilize and strengthen my core. I am very grateful to Katie for helping me successfully finish the golf season and prepare for next year.

  • Greg Ford

My wife has been going to see Siobhan for many years and is living a much better life because of the regular treatments she gets. I'm not held together by rubber bands and scotch tape like she is but I've had a few injuries over the years and Siobhan has taken very good care of me, explaining everything as she goes and I always leave in better shape than I was when I came in. I've never felt like a patient, more like family. I forgot my wallet on one visit and didn't have a way out of the parkade so Siobhan walked down with me and helped me escape with her own credit card. THANK YOU AGAIN!

  • Trish Lavery

I have had nothing but positive experiences at the Downtown Sports Clinic, I have seen Lori Townsend at various times over the past 10 years for wrist injuries and most recently a back injury. Lori has helped me understand the physiology of my injuries as well as the steps to healing. I have personally recommended her to many friends and colleagues and all have been impressed by how she has been able to help, often for conditions that have been seemingly untreatable. She is really good at explaining things but most importantly she is a very effective physiotherapist.

  • ASHRAF ABDEL-QADER

I had a knee injury (MCL) and wasn't able to be fully active for more than 4 months. I had the pleasure of working with Caroline Trajan and Voila'! My knee has healed, in less than 2 months, thanks to Caroline's experience and knowledge. Caroline always explained the theory behind my treatment. How the muscles around the knee worked, and how the hips, ankles and knees are linked and how they impact one another. This made me more aware of how I exercise and how to avoid injury going forward. Caroline is very friendly, professional and caring. Thank you Caroline!

  • Hubert Serrano

highly recommend! i have only started seeing Caroline for physiotherapy since last month but have already seen great improvements! she has helped me correct my posture as well as strengthen my neck and back through manual therapy, IMS and at home and stretches workouts that has helped eliminate the discomfort in my wrists which was my initial reason for visiting in the first place! she’s great and easy to work with, knowledgeable and she breaks down the exercises in ways that’s easy for me to understand! can’t thank her enough for her work on me

  • Svitlana G

I would like to say that I am so impressed with my physiotherapist Caroline Trajan! She is incredibly caring person, so knowledgeable and experienced, very attentive listener. My shoulder was broken and I couldn't use my dominant hand at all. Due to Caroline's set of exercises, I already have a significant progress with my shoulder's range of motions! I would give her 10 stars out of 5! Also, Office Manager Natasha was so helpful and professional! Thank you very much, you have a great team! I will definitely recommend your clinic to my friends.

  • Joshua Martin

Clinic full of very professional and knowledgeable staff who really take their time to completely satisfy needs of their patients. With complex procedures and practices I have been able to increase my range of motion without the feeling of pain. This has greatly improved my life like it once was. Big shout out to Natasha and Icah who always puts a smile on my face when I’m there. They really go above and beyond with their attitude and enthusiasm paired up with the right amount of people skills to keep me coming back. 5/5 would recommend

  • Rachel Deschenes

Amazing service and incredibly friendly staff. I suffered an injury on a Monday night and they made time for me the next day. They addressed the problem area quickly and never overwhelmed me with exercises. I was back out playing the sports I loved faster than I had thought which was all I could have asked for. Caroline was so so friendly and could offer a wide variety of treatments options that were instrumental in my recovery. I highly recommend this clinic for its convenience to offices downtown but also for its staff and atmosphere.

  • Oscar Franchi

I have been visiting this clinic for 5 years now, and I cannot be more thankful for all of the help on getting my health & body to optimum performance. I have tried all of the services they provide and I must say these have been all fantastic. I am not only in excellent shape now, but I have also learned how to stay healthy. I continue to come to the clinic, but mostly for maintenance which I strongly recommend on doing go forward. Thanks to all of the amazing staff that work in this clinic! special thanks to Caroline, Sara, Selena !

  • Ehsan Shahidi

I have been seeing Jeff Nessler for 9 months now for an ankle injury. He has been great. He pays attention to the root causes of injuries to help you prevent them in the future. Gives you effective exercises to strengthen related muscles. I find Jeff a very caring and competent, yet humble physiotherapist who, of course, enjoys what he is doing. I also saw Andrew Tervit for massages a few times. Very high-quality massage. Specifically I like how he adjusts the massage based on patient's feedback. Overall, I recommend this place.

  • Bill Redhead

If I ever have an issue I go see Lori and over the past 5 years I have sent my entire family. Lori takes the time to properly assess me, explain exactly what is happening and provide me with a treatment plan that has worked beyond my expectations every time. I only wish she would call me daily and nag me to do my exercises.... Everyone I have dealt with at this clinic is fantastic and professional from Lori in the back to Natasha at the front desk. I would, and regularly do, recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone.

  • Joseph Ju

I have been seeing Caroline for the past four months for the whiplash treatment from my vehicle accident back in July. The experience is amazing. She is personal, knowledgeable and good to talk with. I would highly recommend her as one of the best physiotherapists in town. Also, I got referral from her to see Selena, the massage therapist in the same clinic, who is friendly, helpful and great as well. Also, the reception staff are friendly and nice to coordinate and solve my issues as well. A BIG thank you, ladies, :)

  • Richard Onyango

I've never ever had before an opportunity to deal with a physiotherapist until I got injured at work and met my physiotherapist, Mary Chow at the clinic to help with my recovery. From the receptionist to the physiotherapist herself, I felt so warmly treated with great decorum and respect. Every exercise was professionally guided by Mary and within a very short period of time my recovery has greatly improved. I'm impressed with the services at the clinic, you feel like you're one big family cared for and looked after

  • Emily

I have been going to the The Downtown Sports Clinic (Bow Valley) for close to 20 years. I have seen various physiotherapists over the years and they have all been excellent. Knowledgeable, caring, and ready to work with you to get you moving. I am currently seeing Jennifer and I really appreciate her knowledge. The entire staff is great. The front desk team always makes you feel welcome and is very helpful when trying to book appointments, especially on short notice. I recommend DSC to everyone who asks!

  • Catherine Marshall

In August 2017 I experienced a lower back injury and started seeing Susan at the clinic. My experience of working with Susan was nothing but top notch! I felt like she was invested in helping me get better from the moment we first met to the time I 'graduated'. She gave me at home exercises to do, which complimented the treatment we did at the clinic. Her great personality also helped me stay engaged in the treatment. I would highly recommend going to this clinic!

  • Sharon Horvat

I have had long term lower back issues which I was previously seeing a chiropractor for but when the pain started moving down my leg it just wasn't enough. I went to see Caroline Trajan for physiotherapy and am happy to say that thanks to her excellent care and recommendations I am now pain free and able to go about my day without giving a thought to these issues (as long as I keep up with the exercises and don't get too carried away LOL)! Thanks Caroline :)

  • Linda Cockburn

I started with Downtown Sports Clinics years ago after an ankle surgery left me on crutches for 7 months. Physiotherapist Julie got me off those crutches in 3 1/2 weeks with intense therapy. Years later when I had a serious neck issue, of course I went back to them. This time Physiotherapists Lori and Siobhan worked hard to get me healthy again. They truly care about their patients quality of life and work hard to ensure you have it. Thank you so much.

  • Alia Quesnelle

Katie is a very kind and professional physiotherapist. Every time I come to my appointment she always asks how my pain is and goes with what is best for my injury. She is very gentle and make sure the environment is comfortable. Ron is also an amazing massage therapist as well! He is very welcoming and he always made sure I was comfortable as well. I definitely recommend going her for physio and massage treatments :)

  • vindy grewal

I had a great experience here. I was in a car accident in July and they took care of me every step of the way. Caroline is absolutely amazing and listened to me and my body during our sessions. Her suggestions and "homework" have helped my healing process and will continue to help me in the future. Everyone is so friendly here and made the experience as stress free as possible. I would recommend them to everyone.

  • Magda Nelson

Mary Chow has been my physiotherapist since June 2023, treating me for neck and back pain due to a car accident. It has been beneficial to see her weekly and working through the homework-exercises she’s provider me. She is professional in her work and at the same time very open and friendly. I’d recommend any of my friends to seek phsyio treatments from Mary! The clinic itself and admin staff are great too!

  • Sandra Mccurdy

5 STARS to Michelle S at The Downtown Sports Clinic! I had injuries to both thumb joints and a shoulder do to repetitive work - the injuries were to the point I couldn't even put a shirt on without using my other arm to lift the weak arm up. After working with Michelle both thumb joints and shoulder are functioning as they should! If you are in need of a top notch physiotherapist call Michelle!

  • Ryan Baker

The Downtown Sports Clinic is fantastic. I’ve been seeing Lori Townsend for years here and she always gets me fixed up and back on track. Booking appointments has been easy and can usually get in quickly. Flexible appointment times also help work around a busy schedule. Lori is great, and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend you go see her if you’re having issues.

  • C K

Mary has been instrumental in designing and implementing my rotator cuff rehabilitation plan. From the initial assessment, to goal setting to designing progressive therapy sessions, Mary repeatedly demonstrates thoughtful and caring professionalism and patient care. I would recommend Mary to anyone and will continue to rely on her expertise to achieve my rehab goals.

  • Springroll

Highly recommended clinic - staffs are super friendly, accommodating, professional, safety covid protocols always in place. Had 2 MVA and was treated by P/T, Lori (now retired) initially, then treated by Caroline T for a 1 year+. Would highly recommend Caroline as she's super knowledgeable and experienced in TMJ dysfunction. Luther is great for massages as well!

  • Kim Ngo

Michelle Szkwarek is an exceptional physiotherapist at the Downtown Sports Clinic at Bow Valley Square. She is professional and knowledgeable. The pain in my left knee was so sharp, and it woke me during my sleep at night. After a couple treatments and exercise programs from Michelle, most of my knee pain had gone away. She is highly recommended!

  • hanz cary Flores

Mary Chow is superb! She made me feel comfortable, and her treatments helped me significantly. She was very attentive to my needs and tailored the treatment and exercise program specific to my injury and to my goals. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a physiotherapist and looking to get back to moving pain free. Thank you! Mary

  • helen chaman

Earlier this year I visited this clinic with stiff neck. I was so fortunate to get an appointment with Katie. She is highly knowledgeable and a great listener. Her hands did magic. She was able to alleviate 80% of my pain on spot just with the work she did on my neck. She gave few exercises to do between my visit. Highly recommend

  • Michelle Foster

Lori is amazing. I had been seeing a chiropractor for a couple of years for a recurring shoulder issue, and it never got better that whole time. In our very first session, Lori taught me some exercises and preventative moves. Update: It's been over 2 years now, and I have not had the issue return! Thank you Lori! You're the best!!

  • E C

Such a friendly and positive atmosphere! Everyone made me feel welcomed, comfortable and taken cared for. Look for Caroline Trajan as she is very friendly and yet, very competent. It was such a great experience and coming to them to help me with my concerns was the right decision! …

  • Elizabeth Brouwers

I have been seeing Susan Tsang for almost two years to rehab from two MVAs and herniated disks. I have managed to avoid surgery and believe that Susan's care and attention has been a key factor in my recovery. Thank you for running a clinic that is always on time, and with such thoughtful practitioners.

  • Luis L.

Excellent care and follow up! I've been around Calgary for 20 years in different clinics and this is one of the best. Katie has been fantastic, I really appreciate her personalized approach and genuine interest in my recovery, plus the consistent follow up to make sure I'm doing well. Thank you Katie!

  • Brooke R

Katie Hung has radically improved my physical health! I came in for an injury and she expertly guided me to recovery, and then we worked on some mobility issues I’ve had and just managed through forever. With her help they are actually improving! Have referred several friends and family members.

I see Sarah Mecredy for physio at this location and she is phenomenal. I wouldn't go anywhere else (so long as she is working there!). Highly recommended if you're looking for a new physio. She is very thorough and good at explaining things so you can understand and visualize the issue(s).

  • libby hancock

Sarah Mecredy was excellent. I arrived with two broken wrists and a few other issues from the fall at work. Sarah was always trying to resolve issues that arose from the fall beyond the broken wrists. Still have to keep up my work and so grateful to have had Sarah on my team. Thank you!

I had a great experience with the downtown sports clinic. I highly recommend Michelle Szkwarek for any therapy. She is kind, diligent and professional. After a few sessions I was on the road to recovery with clear and measureable direction. I feel great thanks to Michelle.

  • Albert Gau

Caroline was very personable and knowledgeable throughout my rehab process. My injury is taking time to heal but the exercises and rehab work have helped. Although I hope I will never have to go again, I would definitely come back to the clinic if I ever get injured again.

My long-time physio had retired so I was treated by Mary Chow for a recent knee injury. She is very personable, professional and has great expertise. I was fortunate nothing serious this time and Mary was very helpful with exercises to strengthen hamstrings and calves.

  • Erik Koskela

I've worked with Caroline at the Bow Valley Square location over the past year and she got me from thinking I'd never be able to run again to completing an Ironman within 8 months. She's a runner too, so she approaches her practice from a place of understanding.
