Gym & Training Injury Rehabilitation in Calgary

Injuries are part of training hard. Our team provides movement screening, injury rehabilitation, and return-to-training protocols built around your specific activities.

Whether you train at a CrossFit box, lift competitively, or work out to stay healthy for your other sports, injuries are an inevitable part of pushing your body. Our team provides sport-specific assessment, rehabilitation, and return-to-training protocols that are designed around your activities, not a generic exercise program.

Our Approach

We start with a full-body movement screen to identify the root cause of your injury, not just the symptom. Then we build a return-to-training plan with specific load management, technique cues, and progressive milestones that keep you in the gym while you heal.

Stubborn Tendon Pain

Shockwave Therapy for Tendinopathy & Overuse Injuries

Shockwave therapy device being used on a patient's arm

Elbow tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, and IT band pain don't always respond to rest alone. Radial shockwave therapy stimulates healing in stubborn, chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries, and it's one of the most effective tools we have for getting lifters and CrossFit athletes back to full training loads.

Quick Questions

Complete rest usually isn't the answer. We build a modified loading plan that keeps you training around the injury while the tendon adapts and heals, so you don't lose the fitness you've built.
Shockwave uses focused acoustic pulses to stimulate healing in chronic, stubborn tendon tissue that hasn't responded to rest or manual therapy alone. It's a targeted medical treatment, not a relaxation technique.
