Welcome to Momentum Health's patient resource about knee problems.
The knee is a sensitive area of the body and one that can be injured doing almost any activity. The knee is normally exposed and vulnerable and a simple twist can lead to a serious injury as well as ongoing problems and a long recovery time. Therefore, whether your sport is rugby or racquetball, bowling or badminton, you cannot take chances with this body part.
This section of our site has everything you need to know about preventing or correcting a knee injury. It is our goal to provide you with resources, exercises and other knee related information that will allow you to learn about how easily this sensitive area can be injured.
When you take the necessary steps in preventing an injury, you will enjoy your chosen sport more and avoid physiotherapy and other painful and time consuming tasks that come with nursing a knee injury.
Momentum Health provides services for physiotherapy in Calgary.

“ The folks at Momentum have been excellent supporting me through my knee surgery recovery. They always listen and respond to my symptoms and encourage my progress. In addition they are helping get ready for my next knee surgery. From reception to all the folks in the back, they are friendly and welcoming! I feel like the old show cheers ' ... where everyone knows your name.' Keep up the great work -- I am a good reference -- my wife is going to come by for some physio. ”

“ I recently attended a GLA:D program for education and exercise for osteoarthritis at Momentum Health in Seton in Calgary, Alberta. I was under the care of Dr. Teac Engen 2 times a week for 7 weeks of education exercises for the hips and knees. During that time, I learned valuable resistance training to help build up the areas around the hip and knee joints. The sessions were professionally carried out and I was treated with kindness and understanding. Dr. Engen created an environment for me to excel. He communicated through word and action. He lead by example and allowed me to discuss my feelings openly. He seeks input and involvement from others. He recognizes the contributions of others. I am comfortable going back to the program in the future if I need additional help. Sincerely Linda Rogers ”

“ 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! ”

“ Just had to share my experience with my chiropractic care here at Momentum. Last week my back went out and I was suffering with terrible sharp, excruciating nerve pain. I had been to Momentum for physio and the knee Glad program, but not for chiropractic care. So I called them up and told them about my back pain and they felt I needed an adjustment by one of their chiropractors. I went in and met with Dr. Denis Simons and had my first adjustment. I found him to be an ultimate professional and he quickly found out what needed to be done. After my second adjustment I was completely rid of the extreme nerve pain! I couldn’t believe it! I did the dance of joy! I will continue to see Dr. Denis for any chiro needs I may have in the future. Highly recommend him! ”

Participated in GLA:D hip knee clinic. Excellent program and well supervised exercise routines and instruction. Suggest anyone with hip-knee issues to look at program earlier rather than later. ”

“ The staff here are fantastic! From the ladies at the front all the way to the physiotherapists. I had the pleasure of working with Leah as I navigated my recovery from ACL surgery. She was super kind and supportive and every time I came in she had new exercises for me to try and really worked with understanding how I functioned and what would benefit me. Not just giving me the standard exercises. I appreciate the time she took to recognize when an exercise worked for me and when it didn’t. This even meant researching in between appointments to find new studies or techniques to try. I highly recommend the clinic, especially Leah. ”

“ I have been enrolled in the GLA:D Knee/Hip program since April 19th and have been delighted with the progress. I have bone on bone on the lateral portion of my right knee and have found over the weeks that I am getting stronger and definitely have less crepitus. I was able to hike Grassy Lakes; the more challenging side too. Today Dr. Carpino has started to work on other areas. He is competent, very knowledgeable, and a truly kind, caring Chiropractor. ”

“ I can't even begin to say how thankful I am to the team of Momentum Health. I wasn't able to get more than 4hours of sleep per night for a couple of years, I finally went to see Dr. Denis Simmons and he took a complete different approach than any other chiropractor I have seen before, my mid and upper spinal section wasn't moving they way it should i guess which caused my lower back to hurt, so he focused on a different section of my spine than previous chiropractors. it made a huge change, all of a sudden i was able to get a full nights of sleep. Then i started physio with Nathan Albinati, even no where near of sporting grey hair, he has a ton of knowledge which made me gain more strength in my core. i also had previously very painful experience with dry needling but he sure knows what he is doing. we switched over working on my repaired ACL now and i feel even his assessment is way more thorough than i have had before. Laura at the reception is always kind and welcoming. If you haven't tried this place, you have to! ”

“ I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Carpino. He is courteous, inspiring, and committed. He is a consummate professional who gently leads his patience to do their best to exceed their goals. I had the good fortune to benefit from his stewardship in the GLA:D programme. My knees are now better than they have been in years as is my mobility. Kudos and thanks to Dr. Carpino.
