Testimonials

“An awesome place with incredible practitioners! Physiotherapist Chad Piper was amazing and figured out what was wrong with my lower back when no one else could. After the first time seeing him he helped me tremendously. Chad gave me the tools to strengthen and prevent future lower back injury. I’m very lucky to be strong and healthy now and continue to play my sports!”

“Thank you Natasha Lohues for the treatment plan, providing much need relief, sound advise and a rehab program that brought me back 100% after a workplace injury. Also, as this was my first time to Ascent Health and Sport Therapy, I received a warm welcome from Janine Bain and all staff I encounter. I highly recommend this amazing team of professionals. Truly,”

“Ascent is such a wonderful place! I decided to seek out a physiotherapist to help me recover from some post-pregnancy pain and I was nervous because I wasn’t sure what to expect. My experience exceeded my expectations in a big way! Chelsea is the BEST. She is non-judgemental, incredibly knowledgeable, a good listener and so friendly. She has helped me strengthen my body in a way to ease my hip and back pain and her dry needling service has almost eliminated my jaw tension. The front desk staff is also always welcoming and it’s so easy to book and reschedule appointments online. Couldn’t recommend it enough.”

-Ryan

“I had hurt my ankle while running and was uncertain of what to do. I was referred from a friend to go see Natasha and I’m so happy I did! I was given great treatment and a treatment plan to get me back to running, cycling, and playing hockey. She outlined the healing process of my injury and the progressions that I’ll need to take to get back to a full recovery. I couldn’t recommend enough going to see Natasha to help you get back to your full health!”

Additional Therapies

Physiotherapy sessions at Ascent are comprehensive and often include multiple treatment options, such as:

IMS Acupuncture and Dry Needling

A small and thin acupuncture needle is used to relax tight muscles and stimulate the healing of over-sensitive nerves. It also helps stimulate the body to release the body’s own painkillers.

Shockwave

Shockwave, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ECSWT), is a non-surgical, non-invasive tool that accelerates healing and regenerates damaged tissue. It is often most effective in cases where the body has not been able to heal itself on its own.

Exercise Therapy

Our Calgary Physiotherapists are experts in using movement and exercises as medicine. Exercise prescriptions will help you rebuild and maintain your joint and soft tissue health for the long term.

Pelvic Health

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy focuses on assessing and improving the function of the pelvic floor muscles from both an internal and external approach.

Functional Range Systems

Functional Range Systems, or FRS® is a powerful one-of-a-kind approach to help increase useable range of motion, improve articular mobility, improve neurological control, increase strength/resilience, enhance athletic performance, decrease incidence of injury, and improve recovery from injuries..

Vestibular Therapy
