Peak has been an amazing clinic to work with! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I have been seeing Kevin for Chiropractic services and he is fantastic. He takes the time to explain what’s going on and comes up with a plan to fix it. This clinic is awesome, I would highly recommend them to everyone!

- Melissa Dyck

Extremely helpful, friendly, professional staff. Best place in the city for physio. They've done an incredible job helping me manage three concussions, getting me back on track quicker than I thought possible.

- William Cameron

I highly recommend all the practitioners at Peak Health and Performance. My family and I have been seeing various practitioners for our ailments since we arrived in Calgary in 2013. There is no pressure to book future appointments unless they are necessary - often it's on a 'see how you feel next week and book with me then' basis. We are very happy patients!

- Anne-Marie N.

Janelle's techniques with needling and cupping are superior to any physio treatments I have had throughout my life. She treated multiple injuries in my elbow, achilles tendon and ankle that other clinics could not successfully treat or even slightly improve. I was back doing heavy weight training within a few weeks. I had a follow up MRI on my elbow and achilles which also proved rapid recovery from her work. She works in a very efficient manner to maximize each appointment for a speedy recovery. I will never go to any other clinic.

- Sean O’Rourke

My son loves coming to physio, not only does our physiotherapist make every appointment fun and engaging, but we have seen huge improvements in his confidence on the playground and he is now riding a bike!

- Leanne D

I visited Dr. Logan Gerwing based off an recommendation and was very impressed. I have had a ton of physiotherapy/chiropractic care over the years and couldn't believe how quickly Logan was able to get to the root cause of my pain and set up a plan to resolve.

- Mike Stodola

Honestly, by far one of the best clinics I’ve ever attended. From the very moment you walk in it feels comfortable and warm. Everyone is so kind and takes an interest in your recovery and building a connection. If you see someone new they are already up to date on what you last came in for. It’s such a well-oiled machine. Highly recommended! Keep it up guys!

- Arsaima S.

The most friendly upbeat location I've been to in the city. Mike is my favourite massage therapist! He is super friendly, with just the right touch, and all the knowledge of the human body, to give a great feeling healing massage.

- Blake Ward

I am a new patient at Peak Health but can already confidently say this clinic deserves nothing less than 5 stars. The front staff are all very welcoming, friendly, and kind. From the first visit, Kevin made me feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. He is extremely knowledgeable about his work and worked with me to create a custom treatment plan so that I can get back to 100%. Highly recommend!

What is Active Release Techniques® (ART)?

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a patented, movement-based soft tissue technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. ART® helps break down pain-generating soft tissue adhesions (scar tissue), a by-product of cumulative soft tissue trauma, which results in increased soft tissue tension, pain, and dysfunction.

What Happens During an ART Appointment?

Once your ART® certified practitioner has assessed your current condition and mobility, the ART® treatment includes manually generating tension through an area of muscle tissue while elongating or moving the region through a specific and normal range of motion.
