I was very pleased with the treatment I received from CCP after a severe rotator cuff tear. Elliott got me functioning again, monitored my progress, and was extremely helpful in not only recovery, but helping diagnose the severity of the problem and consider my treatment options, which eventually required arthroscopic reattachment.

I recently had a shoulder issue that Elliott Goldman, a Physiotherapist at Calgary Core Physiotherapy worked on. Elliott was fantastic, he used several methods of treatment and worked closely with me each step of the way. His approach and follow through was great. I highly recommend Elliott to anyone who needs a Physiotherapist in Calgary. I will certainly use him the next time I have an injury.

I worked with Elliott after an MCL sprain, he was excellent in all areas. Quick and definitive diagnosis, a simple treatment plan accompanied with exercises to improve my gait. The plan worked very well - which was expected; the professional yet engaging manner was purely a bonus. Being able to discuss rugby always scores lots of points in my book. Would highly recommend for athletes and weekend warriors alike. Top marks!

Ian and his team are outstanding! I highly recommend you visit Calgary Core Physio if you have any physio related needs. I have seen Ian for several different ailments and I am always impressed by how quickly he is able to diagnose the root of the problem and treat the root, rather than focusing on the symptom. I recently completed my first Ironman and a few weeks before my race I was having knee pains. I went to see Ian and he had me fixed up and race ready! What a relief and huge help this was. Don't hesitate to go to Calgary Core Physio if you have any physio related needs.

Brad Merkley at Calgary Core Physiotherapy was the first practitioner to properly diagnose an issue that I've been dealing with for a decade. He set up a treatment and exercise plan for me that has significantly reduced my symptoms, and that will hopefully fix my problem altogether. I'm so grateful for the work that he did! Beyond his skill as a physiotherapist, Brad is friendly and professional, and put me immediately at ease -- which is so important when someone's going to be manipulating your body in sometimes-uncomfortable ways. Although he recommended needling, when I informed him of my needle phobia he was very understanding and set up an alternate treatment plan for me. I would absolutely recommend Brad to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

Brad has significantly helped me recover from injuries and improve strength and stability in my shoulders and trunk. He does a great job of explaining the process if you're interested in it. He works to treat the cause of my symptoms and I feel much better after every session, short- and long-term.

In short: Prior to being referred to Calgary Core Physio, I had spent almost 2 years with a back problem trying to find aid from doctors, chiropractors, as well as other physiotherapists and having no luck. After a couple visits with Tim Lee, I finally began to see improvement and over the course of my treatment was able to become active once again. Tim's technical approach demonstrates his thorough understanding of his field. In each session, my back was assessed and the treatment was tailored to my condition on that day. I recommend Calgary Core Physio without hesitation. They are a highly skilled, very professional group that provide a top notch service to those lucky enough to know about this gem of a clinic. The long story: After about $1000 spent in chiropractic and physiotherapy fees with no results, the physiotherapist I was then working with encouraged me to see a spine specializing doctor in hopes of finding better treatment. After this advice, and a few months waitlisted, I ended up seeing a spine doctor at Caleo Health, and having an MRI done on my back. This process took another few months and cost another $1000 (it would have taken 8 months had I gone the public route for the MRI). After this, the doctors at Caleo told me there were no issues spotted from the MRI, and that the issue was soft tissue damage, requiring no surgery or use of their skills. Feeling pretty disenfranchised at this point, having spent a lot of time (in pain) and money (in vain), and not knowing where to turn next, I began trying all sorts of alternative approaches. I tried acupuncture, yoga, I bought an inversion table.. all without measureable results. Having seemingly tried everything, I was beginning to accept that I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life.. a harsh notion for someone in their early 20s. After a few months I happened upon some good luck and a family friend, who had been treated by Tim Lee at Calgary Core Physio, urged me to try a few treatments with Tim. I was reluctant at first, as I had previously been to a physiotherapist for the injury, however; after a couple treatments with Tim I began to realize that not all physiotherapists are of the same skill set. This is a no brainer looking back. From the first treatment Tim was, unlike those before him (including a doctor at a spine specializing clinic), able to understand my back problem and knew how to treat it. Tim even educated me in how to better maintain my back and protect myself from developing an injury in the future. Words cannot describe my level of gratitude. Had I visited Tim in the first place, I would have avoided a lot of costs, unnecessary pain, and had a quicker recovery. When I hear of someone in need of a physiotherapist, especially in the case of a back injury, I am quick to recommend Tim and Calgary Core Physiotherapy. They really know what they're doing.

I have had chronic knee injuries from way too much soccer and skiing over the years and had developed a rotator cuff injury along the way (Crossfit, ugh). Darra has been an absolute game changer in terms of my ability to keep up my activity levels and sports I enjoy . There are limitations to how good my knees can ever be which he is realistic about and mindful of, something I appreciate immensely. He has a great balance between focusing on short term pain relief with long term healing and improvement in mind. His dry needling is akin to witchcraft it's so good. I couldn't more highly recommend Darra Bennett and any of the Core staff. They are my go-to recommendation for anyone with aches, pains, injuries or any desire for a tune up.

I have had my share of injuries over the years and can honestly say that the team at core provide the best and most effective care possible. They treat not just injuries but help to address underlying causes. If you need treatment this is the place you want to be getting it.
