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

Everyone at Peak is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Can't think of a better place to go for help. My experience with both chiropractic and massage have been first rate. Would recommend them to anyone who needs these services! Many thanks!

- Fran Wilkin

I highly recommend Alyssa for physiotherapy. I've had back issues for over 10 years and after just a few appointments with her my back feels great. She's incredibly smart, thorough, great at dry needling and really seems to care. Alyssa was able to diagnose and treat my back in a unique way and the results have been amazing. Can't speak highly enough about her, I'm very impressed.

- Jason Ritten

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

I've been coming here for about a year or so for different reasons and they are above expectations even when you see their ratings. Highly recommend this place!

- Franco Flores

I've been going here for a few months and I am obsessed! It's so friendly, refreshing, and I leave there full of joy. There are slippers when you walk in, the layout is unique, the massage is incredible! RMT Syndey has healing hands and the knowledge and follow up she provides has helped me so much. I am grateful to have found Peak Health and Performance.

Greatest place ever! One stop shop for all your pain and comfort needs. Jess has helped me soooo much with recovering from knee surgery. This place is super friendly and you feel at home the second you walk through the door

- Nick C.

My experience with Dr. Logan Gerwing was amazing. The thing that stands out the most when i recall my experience with Logan is the belief system he established in me. I have seen many other practitioners who used language that me believe that I was fragile, broken, or explained I needed to just rest and not train." Logan from day 1 started to make sure I changed my belief system from fragile to resilient. He is an expert at his craft and explained why and how he was going to use certain techniques and also made sure I was on board before executing. If you are struggling, go see Dr.Logan you wont be sorry!

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.
