How we assess you

Every plan starts with a clear picture of your symptoms, movement, and goals.

  1. 1

    Health history

    We review your pain pattern, past injuries, work demands, sleep, and activity level.

  2. 2

    Movement screen

    We watch how you bend, walk, squat, and reach to find movement limits.

  3. 3

    Hands on testing

    Joint, muscle, and nerve tests help us pinpoint the source of symptoms.

  4. 4

    Goal setting

    You tell us what success looks like. We set realistic milestones together.

Patient case studies

Real recovery paths from our Calgary clinic. Names and details are changed for privacy.

Office worker, 42 Lower back pain after long desk hours 8 weeks
Approach

We started with a movement screen and found limited hip hinge and weak deep core activation after long sitting. Treatment combined manual therapy for the lower back, progressive core stability drills, and a simple desk break routine every 45 minutes.

Outcome

Daily pain dropped from a 7 to a 2 within five weeks. He returned to gym training with a modified program and now manages occasional flare ups with his home exercises. He has not missed work since finishing the plan.

Recreational runner, 29 Knee pain during longer runs 10 weeks
Approach

A running gait review showed early heel strike and weak left glute medius. We used hip strengthening, cadence cues, and a graded return from walk run intervals to full distance over eight weeks.

Outcome

Knee pain during runs resolved by week six. She completed a local 10K without pain and continues a twice weekly strength routine to stay injury free. Her longest run is now back to pre injury distance.
