Introduction to Shoulder Issues

Physiotherapy in Calgary for Shoulder

Welcome to the Momentum Health’s resource about shoulder issues.

A shoulder injury can happen in any sport, and shoulder pain can be brought on from something as simple as sleeping in the wrong position.  Whether you have damaged your rotator cuff because you were a little too overzealous at touch football with your friends on Sunday, or you are sore from trying to weed the garden and paint the garage in one afternoon, this is the part of our website that we have designed with you in mind.

It is our aim to provide you with the information and tools to help you recover from a shoulder injury and to prevent future injuries from occurring.

When you have proper information about how to stay healthy, you will find that your playtime will be more rewarding, your sleep with be more sound and your daily grind won't wear you down.

 I’ve had several massages with Amber and I honestly can’t rave enough about her. She diagnosed a chronic shoulder injury that I have seen multiple practitioners for over the course of the past 10 years and has given me treatment that far surpasses anything I’ve received before. I can’t recommend her enough!

 I can't sing Momentum Health (Seton) enough praises. From the moment I arrive there are smiles at the front desk, both Anthony and Sara are so welcoming and pleasant. Anthony especially has a level of professionalism and a proactive attitude that is all too rare these days. He remembers every patient (somehow, that man has one heck of a memory!), knows their schedules and goes above and beyond in every sense of the word. From booking in at arrival, to scheduling future appointments he's remarkably efficient and just "gets it". When it comes to my physio treatment, Eli has saved my shoulder and taught me a great deal along the way. He's patient and will explain any concern or query you have with knowledge and a gentle nature. Furthermore, he's effective. My range of mobility and pain has improved significantly, from their practices and the exercises advised for at-home care. Even being stuck with the needles isn't so bad! I'm on the mend now and it's genuinely a sadness that I won't see them so often. Unless I tear another shoulder!

 I have been to many other Physio clinics for injuries, this one is the best one by far and unrivaled. The staff are all very professional and polite. I came to this clinic for a shoulder injury from an MVA, Moustafa was my physio and he was exceptional! He not only helped me to get me back into the condition I was before the car crash, but also taught me a lot about my body and exercises to improve my issues. 100% would recommend Moustafa and any of their professionals on staff for any injuries!

 I had a stubborn shoulder impingement that had been bothering me for nearly 2 years and completely derailed my fitness aspirations. It was an issue that seemingly would not go away no matter what remedy I tried. Moustafa is extremely knowledgeable and within a month of working with him and Noni, my shoulder was feeling better than it ever had in the last 2 years. I am now back in the gym feeling better each and every week. I am super grateful to the Momentum Health staff who create a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, and are fantastic at what they do. I would recommend anyone to try this place out.

 In January and December of this past year I experienced two separate musculoskeletal injuries at a fast paced, physical labour intensive work environment. WCB Alberta approved treatment for the work related injuries and I was able to find a physiotherapist and chiropractor at Momentum Health Deerfoot City. I was initially naive as to the work necessary to recover from a shoulder strain, and reluctant to put in the physio / chiro "homework" outside of the clinic - but Dr. Carpino and Mark carefully and competently provided immediate symptom treatment and small steps of training to ensure medium to long term recovery. I am now able to independently train a physical regime that is appropriate for the continued demands of a full time manual labour occupation, and am in better physical health than before the workplace injuries occurred. I actually feel lucky that I was needing and able to find treatment with the team at Momentum Health, due to a once difficult circumstance. I look forward to returning to the clinic this summer for more athletically developed personal training sessions with Dr. Carpino, Mark and Safia, and likewise want to thank receptionists Megan and Emily for their accommodations, professionalism and overall amazing support. Thank you, guys!

 I attended Momentum Health due to issues with my right shoulder. I was very pleased with the thorough assessment completed by Mark, the physiotherapist, on my first appointment. I received some hands on treatment and several exercises that I needed to complete daily. I did the exercises as recommended and they worked to alleviate the problem. Mark completed another assessment on my final appointment to ensure improvement in movement and determined that I did not need further appointments. I did not have to wait when I arrived for my appointments and the facilities were very clean and well organized. Overall I was very pleased with the punctual, respectful and through services that I received and would definitely recommend Mark and Momentum Health.

 I began at momentum November 14 2023 with a MVA. I was rear ended, and had major whiplash in my neck, shoulders, and back. Megan, James were both amazing with the physio therapy sessions. Not only both knowledge but actually willing to help you. The exercises and treatments they both provided worked very well. Ali the chiropractor at this facility is fantastic. I have had really bad experiences with chiro in the past due to being miss treated. Ali is also very knowledgeable and is also quite harmless in his techniques. I never experienced any pain after these chiro appointments only the release of tightened muscles and honestly felt great each time. I 100% recommend any physio treatments from momentum health and also the chiropractic treatments. Thanks for helping me complete my journey to regain strength and recover from the whiplash I was experiencing. Today is March 15 2023 and it was my last treatment and I would like to personally thank each and everyone of you guys. So thank you. #Momentumhealthrocks Patrick r dowden
