 I have seen several practitioners within Momentum West Springs for acute injuries involving a fractures wrist, L4-L5 disk injury and shin strain. I felt in these instances that I was focused on and my injuries were well addressed with an appropriate care plan and follow up, I have resolved all of these issues and continue to see practitioners ( Jason) or ongoing maintenance and injury prevention. I have also seen pelvic floor physiotherapists within the clinic which have made incredible improvements in hypertrophic muscles due to heavy weight lifting and activity I am involved in as well more recently after having my first child and navigating postpartum to return to the level of fitness I am accustomed to. Susan has been an incredible resource and practitioner individualizing my care and helping me manage these issues in their acute stages and preventing these same problems from re-occurring. I cannot recommend this clinic enough for all of the issues I have encountered.

 Over the past few years I have suffered from back, neck, arm and hand ailments. I sought treatment by going to Momentum Health at Deerfoot City and have done so for some time now. All the staff have been welcoming, courteous and professional. Mark Taylor has been my physiotherapist for the past year. He is very professional, friendly and skilled at his job. He has been successful at treating a number of my physical ailments and relieving the pain. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a physiotherapist.

 I would highly recommend Mark and Safia at Momentum Health for physiotherapy. I received treatment over 6 months for a WCB claim involving wrists, elbows and knees. They took the stress out of the WCB claim process and continued with thorough reviews to make sure treatment was complete and did not end prematurely. They assessed my condition, developed a treatment plan, and then patiently helped me carry it out. They selected and taught me exercises appropriate to my level of recovery and gave feedback through all the stages. I also received in clinic treatment including muscle release, heat and dry needling. To top it off, the atmosphere in the clinic was always friendly and happy, so treatment became the highlights in my week. They seemed to care for the whole person not just the physical condition in need. Thank you Mark and Safia!

 I had the best service possible. My first appointment Alisha assessed my wrist injury while explaining all that we needed to do to get my wrist back functioning. I returned 3 days later Katie was ready to get me started on a recovery program. She got me doing exercises that I could also do at home. 9 treatments and I'm as good as gold. I would recommend this team to everyone, so friendly and ready for your arrival. Also Its very clean. Nancy leclair

I seen Christina Ergang and I absolutely love the sub-occipital release she does. I found she did a nice deep massage in my forearms to help with my carpal tunnel.

 Joel and Amé recently helped me out with some reoccurring wrist pain I had been experiencing. After only 2 visits the pain has not returned and I am feeling much better! Joel helped to figure out the underlining issue so I don’t have to continue using creams and medications to numb the pain. Thanks for the help :)

 Its been amazing few months i started here with Lora and Amie. I had post car accident back pain for almost 3 years. Lora and Amie worked with my pain, determine my core muscles being weak and prescribed correct exercise. Its been improving drastically. Same time, they did amazing work with my palm pain which started to develop few months ago. Thank you for taking care of my pain.

 I am dealing with a lower back injury for a while now and i tried different treatments that didn't really work . With the supervision of Amie and the work of Nicole, i am seeing a lot of improvements. Nicole was massaging the painful area and pressing with her fingers on the sensitive spots which was relieving the pain away, she also gave me sets of exercices to practise at home, which were easy to get them done. I am happy with the results so far!! Thank you Nicole for your hard work and devotion for healing me and thank you Amie for following up.

 Carlee and her team was amazing. This is the second time I injured my wrist after a nasty fall on ice. Carlee's team took time to figure out and isolate where the pull was coming from. After a careful examination on the first day, they found it was deep within the tissue. They spent around 6 treatments of ultrasound therapy, tensor therapy, massage and gave me the exercises and stretches as homework to get me back into form. It helped and I was at 95% by the 5 session. Now back at doing normal things like opening jars and typing without pain. Thanks Momentum Health.
