THE Downtown Sports Clinics - Barclay Centre

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the experience I received at the Downtown Sports Clinic. Christian was very thoughtful, sincere and genuinely engaged in my recovery. He is a very knowledgeable and skilled physiotherapist with a great understanding of the body's anatomy and function.

Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend – Excellent Care and great recovery! I’ve had incredible experiences with my physiotherapist- Christian Boivin and chiropractor- Fran Yip. From my first visit, I felt welcomed and understood. The care I received was not only effective but also tailored to my specific needs. Over the course of my treatment, I saw great improvements in my condition, far exceeding my expectations. What really sets Christian and Fran apart is the personable and caring approach. They take the time to listen, explain the treatment process, and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. You can tell they genuinely care about your well-being, which makes the entire experience even better. I highly recommend Christian and Fran to anyone seeking effective chiropractic and physio care with a personal touch!

Fantastic experience: I came in to see Christian at THE Downtown Sports Clinic (Barclay) with a rather problematic knee that wasn't clearing up. I was given some advice about changing footwear and provided with exercises to help - it took some time but feeling good these days. Back to running pain free!

Fantastic experience: I have had many visits with Dr. Fran, she is an excellent chiropractor who focuses on the active approach with my shoulder and neck injuries. She is incredibly dedicated in my journey to recovery and I cannot recommend Dr. Fran enough!

Fantastic experience: I consider myself lucky to have Christian Boivin as my physiotherapist for the last several months while I recover from a broken leg. He approaches his physio practice from a ‘whole person’ perspective that includes the physical mechanics of recovery, while also acknowledging the emotional and psychological impacts of injury and healing. He engenders trust with his patients despite the vulnerability that injuries can bring. He is compassionate, professional and personable. He clearly brings a depth of experience, and has deep knowledge and education of the realm of physiotherapy. He responds to individual needs with creative approaches to address specific issues and will patiently provide answers to myriad questions about treatment options. He is clearly committed to patient care and recovery, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Dr Fran is the greatest chiropractor! She helped me heal from my hip injury by working with me to build a plan and had a proactive approach to rehab. She is super friendly and understands the needs of athletes as she is one herself! Do yourself a service and book an appointment with her 10/10 experience!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rave about Dr.Fran enough!! If you're looking for a chiropractor who is intentional/purposeful and has a very active approach to care and rehab, she is IT! Her approach is corrective, she is incredibly friendly and understanding, and a very respectable athlete.She will make you stronger and I just feel amazing after treatments. 10/10 highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at the Downtown Sports Clinic! Front desk folks are always willing to assist you, they're kind and helpful. If you need to reschedule, just let 'em know by more than 24 hours in advance, by e-mail or phone. It was my first physiotherapy experience, and it was awesome! Janine was the one who guided and supported me during my little journey adjusting my posture and making my core stronger. She investigated my pain issues by asking a group of great and accurate questions based on the context I gave to them before the attendance. Janine is a patient professional, she is always communicating pretty well, and if you don't get something, she figures out other approaches to show/explain/teach you. She explained the reason for the pain I was feeling and then taught me a group of movements/exercises to practice daily to avoid the pain. Now, I have more awareness about using and strengthening my core. I've been feeling quite better and I'm very grateful to Janine for this!

Fantastic experience: Good facility. Great physio's.

Fantastic experience: Christian has been amazing. Shares his knowledge and puts me at ease. Reception always friendly and helpful as well.

Fantastic experience: Christian is the best in the business. Great service, incredible knowledge, and always available to discuss. I hope not to see him as often, but I won't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: My physio is Mary Chow, who presented helpful, trustful and professional manners during my recovery period. Thank you for having you in my hard time period. Thus, I give her five star to thank you for her excellent support and effort. If someone is looking for physio who is bilingually, she is the option too.

Fantastic experience: Christian is one of the best physiotherapists I've had the pleasure of working with in my athletic career. Before I started athletics I had been in several car accidents and had been going back and forth between practitioner's without every feeling seen or heard, and often leaving with some type of diagnosis that made me frightened about my future and budget available for treatments. I never felt I made any progress back then and was always taught to just avoid pain. Fast forward to meeting Christian- and what I love about Christian is he treats you like a person, he educates you, he doesn't toss out diagnoses like candy, he provides comprehensive treatment plans, and most of all, he keeps you moving and teaches you not to fear pain. He's able to look at injury as a multifactoral thing and uses a more holistic system addressing movement patterns, recovery management, understands training trends and is able to use more than just the usual clinical skills to treat which I find has more impactful results on injury management. Christian has given me the tools and confidence to manage any symptoms that arise without fearing that I'll have to take a step back in my training and now I just come in for tune ups when training gets hard.

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience at the Downtown Sports Clinic. Mary Chow my physiotherapist has been excellent in helping me with a long term ankle and foot issue that others have not been able to address. She is very knowledgeable and helpful in designing exercises that are appropriate for my situation and abilities. She listens to my concerns and addresses them. To address a recent loss of muscle mass, she showed me strength development exercises using gym equipment in the adjacent facility. These exercises compliment the work we are doing on my ankle and foot. I am so impressed by her preparation for each session and the results we are achieving. I highly recommend Mary and the Clinic.

Fantastic experience: I tore my Achilles recently and went here to see Christian (Boivin) and I have nothing but great things to say. I went in not knowing what I had done to my leg but just that it was bad and I couldn’t really walk. I accidentally went to the wrong location and since I was limping, was 20+ mins late to my appointment. Christian was patient and waiting for me. We immediately went to the back where he tested and swiftly concluded that I ruptured my Achilles and need to go to ER for imaging. Christian also lent me some crutches that were a life saver for the next few weeks. Even getting from the downtown sports clinic to the emerg would have been impossible without the crutches. My road to recovery will be long and it’ll be a while before I can even start Physio. But I will be back at this clinic, with Christian, when the time comes. Will post another review about the rehab as I have not experienced that yet. Overall 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Christian is truly one of the best physios I've seen in my athletic career. He's been able to provide me with a thoughtful, data driven approach to rehabbing from knee surgery and return to sport. His collaborative methods take into consideration your ability, comfort level, and your feedback to create the smoothest transition to recovery possible. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been to alot of physios and Janeane is the real deal. I came in with weakness and reduced mobility in my shoulder and left with a huge improvement in both, plus homework that provided me with relief at home when the injury flared up. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable and also has that special kind of intuition that is so rare in physiotherapists. I can't recommend her or the clinic enough. She listens to my concerns, and has a reasonable explanation for what's going on and why we are following the treatment plan she has assigned.

Fantastic experience: Christian is hands down the most knowledgeable and skilled physiotherapist that I have ever seen. He has been helping me with a year long injury and it has never felt better. His top of the line tools that measure specific strength combined with his sport specific knowledge and passion makes him unparalleled if you want to feel better and get back to competing (or training if you don’t compete).

Fantastic experience: Was referred by a coworker to come here and see Christian. Have to say that this whole experience with Christian was amazing from the beginning to end. He made me feel comfortable, able to feel safe and seen and also calling me by my preferred named was an added bonus that made my visits with him even better. Highly recommend Christian and this location!!!

Fantastic experience: Mary Chow is great, she was very attentive and made sure that the treatments she recommended were being executed properly. She also gave great explanations as to why these treatment's would be beneficial and how to implement them into my personal routine. Overall great Experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Janine every time I have an issue for years now. She's great and very knowledgeable! She helps me recover quickly and shows me exercises I can do to prevent reinjury. I've been recommending her to friends and family for years.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a shoulder injury for awhile now, I’ve gone to a handful of physiotherapists and nothing has seemed to help. After my first visit with Janine my shoulder felt great. She’s patient and understanding. I’ve been going to her ever since and refuse to go anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nothing but great experiences all round. Christian is an absolute gun with it all. Answers all questions regardless of how odd they seem. Looks at the whole picture not just the injury and happy to work with what you want to try/need advice on.

Fantastic experience: Mary Chow is superb! She made me feel comfortable, and her treatments helped me significantly. She was very attentive to my needs and tailored the treatment and exercise program specific to my injury and to my goals. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a physiotherapist and looking to get back to moving pain free.

Fantastic experience: Christian is hands down the best physiotherapist! Extremely knowledgeable and effective at what he does, but he also has such a gift of making me feel safe and heard in every session. He is very thorough and takes his time, I never feel like 'just another number'. The best part is he always considers the 'whole person' with his approach to treatment: checking in on diet, stress, ergonomics, mindset and other factors that play a role in recovery. I trust that I am in good hands with Christian, every time.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a physiotherapist look no further because you have found Christian Boivin. Christian is not only my physiotherapist but also my therapist because every time I go in we talk like we’re best friends and I leave feeling better physically and mentally. Christian listens to all of my concerns and comes up with plans that work for me and if they don’t work we reassess and come up with new ones. He is thoughtful and amazing at his job, he will get you in no matter what, if that means he doesn’t take a break or lunch he does his absolute best for his clients. I have reached out to Christian at 8pm after hurting myself working out and he has got me into the clinic the very next day. The clinic is wonderful and makes you feel safe and respected. There’s not enough words to describe how happy I am to have found this clinic and how much my body thanks me for it. But seriously if you need physio this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Great clinic with a wide variety of services and equipment, always clean and sanitized. Staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. Mary Chow has been a great help. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Mary worked with me for physiotherapy on a bad knee that was keeping me from enjoying hiking. After only a few sessions everything was feeling much stronger and everything is feeling great now! The 5.0 stars is well earned!

Fantastic experience: I really recommend going to this physio clinic! I had a bad fall due to skiing and my knee was not in the best shape but after going to this clinic, my physio Katie really helped with providing me with the proper exercises so that I can go back to my baseline. It was easy to book and appointment and there was barely any wait times and the price was very reasonable too!

Fantastic experience: I got my lower back muscle strain treated using acupuncture here with Janine(PT)! She’s like a magician! Would definitely recommend going here to treat injuries!

Fantastic experience: I was sent to The Downtown Sports Clinic by my insurance provider after a car accident. Marla, the Care Coordinator Manager, was very helpful, compassionate, and professional. I was not sleeping, in constant pain and had very limited strength in my neck, back and shoulders. Christian’s approach was slightly different than I had experienced before, and the results achieved from his treatments have been life changing. With each session, we built on the stretches and exercises he provided me with, giving me lots of variety and options that work with my busy schedule. He also provided me with a plan in case my symptoms crept up in the future. These exercises continue to be very helpful during long days at the office. I had always considered physiotherapy a treatment for injuries, but Christian helped me understand that it can be helpful for injury prevention and maintenance. Physiotherapy will forever be an important part of my self-care practice.

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Christian for his attention to my injury after a car accident. He is definitely very knowledgeable and professional physiotherapist. Not only that, he also ensures each of his client is his highest priority, he listens and makes you smile, which is also important in a healing process. My arm is so much better now! I highly recommend Christian to anyone, who wants to receive top quality service.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Christian Boivin enough for Physiotherapy. He helped me treat a workout related injury. He approached the injury with professionalism, sound advice and a breadth of knowledge that resulted in a solid rehab and treatment plan and he has ultimately has put me back on track. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I received treatment at Lifemark for sports related injuries twice. My therapist, Janine, was able to diagnose the problem and recommend a treatment program that resolved my problem quickly. Less than 5 visitors required each time.

Fantastic experience: Janine has been my physiotherapist since I was injured at work in 2017. That is because she was the only therapist able to provide effective relief from the chronic pain resulting from my injuries. More important, her compassion and skill helped me adjust during a difficult time.

Fantastic experience: Christian has been amazing!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place. Andrea is a fantastic massage therapist. This clinic is also accessible via the +15 level access from the First Canadian Centre tower.

Fantastic experience: Mary Chow has been my Physiotherapist for the last two months and her expertise have helped me rectify shoulder pain that had I had lived with for the past year. She is extremely friendly and chatty but also takes her work very seriously and has helped tremendously with my rehab. I could not be more happy with my experience at the Downtown Sports Clinic!

Fantastic experience: I was treated by both Christian and Janine after a car hit me while cycling. This was for both physio therapy and concussion over a 4 month period. Both are very funny, easy to talk to, and incredibly good at what they do. I hade some acute injuries that Christian was able to identy and noticeably improve over a few weeks. I also highly recommend concussion therapy if you have had one. I had lingering balance and vision issues that I wasn't actually aware of. Once treated my overall stress levels and concussion symptoms greatly improved.

Fantastic experience: Christian Boivin is great! I've been seeing him for about 6 weeks after suffering a severe back injury playing Rugby. He got to the root cause of the problem and provided me with affective treatments to reduce the pain and get me back to normal. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I came here after four months of a persistent injury and unsuccessful treatment at a different clinic. Christian was able to diagnose me within 15 minutes of our first session. After figuring out the physical injury, he also asked how I felt about it - it was refreshing to discuss my hopes and fears surrounding recovery. Subsequent sessions were as great as the first. Christian is always cracking jokes, telling you stories through tricky IMS moments, walking you through exercises, and giving you all the tough love you need to get better. He's exactly who you want by your side when you're down and he'll cheer you on till you're back in action.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about everyone at this clinic, I have seen Janine (Physio), Kristen (Massage), and Samara (Dietician). Everyone from the Admin team to every practitioner consistently provide high level of care. I was impressed because the practitioners are all individually skilled, but they also communicated with each other to better understand what I was dealing with and build off each other. It was great to receive what felt like well-rounded treatment from a team that cares about helping me reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Christian is an all round awesome coach: he is incredibly kind, patient, personable, knowledgeable, observant, inclusive, and experienced. I've been lifting for over 5 years and know a lot about the sport, yet found our sessions (where he watched over my form to ensure I was doing lifts safely) to be incredibly helpful and informative. In fact, I ended up scheduling 3 sessions in just 2 months. Through his feedback, cues (which he also emailed), and homework, I ended up increasing my estimated 1 rep max bench press by 15 pounds to a total of 300! I'll definitely be coming back for more coaching, and I recommend him to all my friends that also work out

Fantastic experience: Saw Christian for physio and Janine for concussion care, excellent care for my MVA. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this clinic for 14 years, and they are phenomenal. Sonja and Marla are always kind and very helpful. Both for physiotherapy and massage therapy, it is hard to find anywhere else that compares. I also appreciate the text message reminders the day prior. I highly recommend this clinic.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Christian for a shoulder issue. I do powerlifting and was having pain training. Christian went above and beyond in his treatment and approach. I saw a lot of progress with his exercise plan and treatment and was able to keep making progress and reduce pain throughout my training block, thanks to him. I really appreciated his compassionate, and informative approach to things and I would highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: This has been my first experience with physio and I was very nervous. My friend recommended the Downtown Sports Clinic and physiotherapist Christian. They have been so great, walking me through all the steps and treatment options and making me feel in control of the process. For anyone looking for a physio I highly recommend coming here.

Fantastic experience: Christian is absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable and personable.

Fantastic experience: Julie Moylan helped me with shoulder/back pain that 3 other physios could not repair. Her experience shows in her practice. She is a physio who wants you get you better so you don't have to go back and see her.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this clinic for about 2 months , everyone there is super kind, and knowledgeable. The front staff was so welcoming from the first time I called , and usually will have great conversation while you wait . My physiotherapist Gina, has been really great to work with . Very honest , and knows what to do to target your issues , and on top of that great conversations. Makes you as a patient feel very important. I went as a wcb claim , and the office has never tried to treat me differently like some clinics might . I am happy that I chose this clinic . A welcoming environment for everyone including lgbtq+ !! I also worked with Christian for 2 sessions , which also went very well, funny guy. So it’s clear to say this clinic has very good staff all around. I’d recommend this to everyone in the future.

Fantastic experience: I had Gina as a physiotherapist. And she was amazing. Really enjoyed working with her. She helped me with my lower back injury as well with a shoulder injury. She works at your pace and what works great for you, could always reach her through email and was quick to respond. Super down to earth, Would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Christian Boivin is one of the best physiotherapists in the Calgary. His education, strong and varied background, knowledge and patience are top notch and consistently provides quality care with amazing results. Christian is so very helpful with advice and offers suggestions for at home exercises to ensure recovery and relief for the long term. Having been in sports for many years, it is great to have found such a talented and skilled physiotherapist, and one heck of a nice person !

Fantastic experience: I saw Christian (Physio) at this clinic and I couldn't be happier. My body has been beat to hell over the years, and with some dry needling in my low back, we were finally able to release some of the tension built up! Christian also helped me with my TMJ pain, which has been brutal for years. I'll be back for sure! Thanks again for making me feel comfortable and not like a n00b, and for helping me with my low back and hip pains. You are the best!

Fantastic experience: I saw Christian for ongoing hip and shoulder pains. He was beyond knowledgeable and helpful at not only elevating the pain but getting to the root of the issues. I am a competitive athlete, and Christian took the time to work with my coach to help build a rehab plan. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: I booked an appointment with Gina at the Downtown Sports Clinic after a recommendation from a friend. I've had nothing but a great experience so far helping me get back to normal from a shoulder issue. I highly recommend booking in with Gina! She is an extremely knowledgeable and kind physiotherapist at the downtown sports clinic. She has been able to provide a wide range of exercises and guides me through each step of the process. My shoulder is feeling significantly better in less than three weeks, which is way better than I could have imagined. The team here is also very nice and welcoming! I highly recommend to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to The Downtown Sports Clinic since December 2021. The staff have been nothing but kind and courteous from day one. Marla and Sonia, are always happy and greet me by name everytime I come in. My physiotherapist Christian, has helped me get better and stronger through these months, and has helped be get back to work, not only by giving me the tools and knowledge that I need to get better, but by also being a friend and confidant, when things just weren't going right. I would like to thank you all for having helped me though these months, and if ever I fall again I'm sure you'll help me get back up.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend booking in with Gina! She is an extremely knowledgeable and caring physiotherapist at the downtown sports clinic. Gina’s explanation of diagnosis and treatment for my knee pain made complete sense and she was happy to answer all of my questions. Very glad I’m back to hiking pain free and it’s all thanks to Gina!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service- I would highly recommend their Physio services to anyone and everyone

Positive experience: Very well managed place and the workers are amazing. Christian was very good at his job. I'm very thankful I got someone so caring and passionate about their work. Definitely gonna be back for massages!

Fantastic experience: For anyone looking for Physiotherapy following a concussion, living with post concussion syndrome, or suffering from a flare post recovery I would 100% recommend Janine Ackenmann. She is incredibly knowledgable about concussion recovery and provides a variety of assessments tools and recovery skills. She was able to pinpoint my main struggle that was severely slowing my recovery and had me back to work within 6 weeks.

Fantastic experience: It was my first experience yesterday at this particular clinic, and my first experience at a physiotherapy clinic overall. The receptionist was very welcoming and fast pace. Moreover, Christian Boivin, the physiotherapist, was really amazing in answering my questions and very thorough. He is very specifically courteous, knowledgeable, and certainly professional. I highly recommend this clinic! 5 stars all the way!!!

Fantastic experience: Today was my very first visit to the Downtown Sports Clinic. I was greeted with a friendly smile from Marla at reception, which immediately put me at ease. My first impressions from this first visit were very good, as I felt very, very comfortable in the clinic from the moment I walked in the door through to the completion of my appointment. I am looking forward to my treatments with Christian, as I found in him a Physiotherapist with excellent bedside manner, who had me laughing even before we were fully introduced. But more than that, he invited me to talk and not only share the details surrounding my injury, but even humoured me to give my own ideas as to what possibly may be going on inside my knee from the research I did on-line. His assessment and recommendations made a lot of sense to me. Just a wonderful start! I am very excited and looking forward to working with him in the rehabilitation of my knee.

Fantastic experience: My physio therapist Jennifer Andrews had been amazing from the moment I started therapy. I have undergone 2 spinal surgeries and was very nervous about rehurting my spine. She seems to know my body better than I do! She's friendly, sympathetic, and someone I will continue to see forever. The rest of the staff are also amazing! Always welcoming and friendly. Thank you guys so much! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, highly recommended. I've been working with Christian over the last few weeks after sustaining a back injury. He works at your pace, always asking if sessions are going well, or if there are any questions or concerns he can assist with. Extremely supportive, ready to listen. Staff are also respectful, polite and friendly. A fantastic experience overall at each session. go raibh maith agat - Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Susan is fantastic - very knowledgeable, positive and encouraging. She is the only one to get me to do my core exercises on a daily basis long term. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Susan Tsang for my pelvic floor physiotherapy after childbirth and my experience has been amazing. She has this air of positivity around her that sets you in the right direction for healing from the word go. She is very experienced, professional and a great listener. She guided me with exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor, core muscles and also ease my back pain. She pays close attention to your body cues and is able to design the pelvic floor exercises to suit your particular situation. Her approach, treatment and guidance have helped me ease back into my everyday activities, do sports i enjoy and stay symptom free most of the time.I would truly recommend Susan as am very happy with the treatment I got and always look forward to my next sessions. The clinic also has this calmness and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall a great place with professionals

Fantastic experience: My lower back pain started in 2016, with a medical diagnosis of bulging between discs L4 and L5. It's been 6 years that I am struggling with this and on average there are 3 to 4 episodes every year, where I have to bed rest for a week or two, with pain killers and muscle relaxants. I have been to a lot of physiotherapists in different parts of the world, where I have lived and although they were good, the pain kept coming back after 3 months or so. A similar episode started around a month ago and I was struggling to find the “Best/Right” physio treatment in Calgary, going through the reviews of every single clinic. Some had exceptional reviews but were costly. I would say fortunately, I selected ‘The Downtown Sports Clinic – Barclay Center’, as it had good reviews, not very costly, and was close to my home. I met Christian Boivin there, who started with my examination and heard my boring long, and depressing story. He started working on my lower back muscles with different strengthening exercises. This started to progress and the exercises got more intense with time. Within 2 to 3 weeks I was doing deadlifts with 50lbs weight :D. This was unbelievable for a person who had not touched his toes for the last 6 years. My movement was very restricted, which was affecting my life overall. The thing I understood about Christian was, he was working to strengthen my lower back muscles, whereas the treatments I have received before were more of a “Fancy” kind of treatment, which included a nice massage, TENS machines, HOT packs, and few exercises like planks (which were very hard for me, considering the condition of my back). With Christian, he gradually increased my routine and the difficulty level. It's been 5 weeks already (2 to 3 sessions per week) and I am feeling much better. I am not fixed completely obviously, but I am a lot more confident. I am doing a lot of the things, I was unable to do before. By ‘before’ I mean since 6 years. It just seems a miracle for me. The key to these kinds of problems is to find a good physiotherapist, and I believe I was lucky enough to find one. Why the long story/review? I know how hard it gets when you are struggling to find a good/right physiotherapist and I struggled to find reviews that could help me identify people with a similar condition. I am writing this review for all the people like me, who are struggling with back pain, this may a solution for you as well. Even if it's not the back pain, I am sure the treatment would be very effective, because of the approach that Christian is following. Thank you, Christian! You have been a blessing to me.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Christian and he's been amazing in helping with my neck and shoulder issues. He's easy going and makes going for a physio appointment feel like a bit of positive self-care, on top of healing. The other staff I have interacted with in the clinic are helpful and friendly as well.

Fantastic experience: I really recommend anyone who needs a good physio to go there. Workers are soooo nice and helpful for anything you need. I especially recommend Michelle who was amazing with me, always a little tip or advice to help during a difficult time!!! I recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience here so far. I’ve been going to see Christian Boivin and he has done an amazing job of walking me through the process of recovery for my hip and the practical steps it will take while making sure I am comfortable along the way.Everyone there is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially Christian he’s great and has superb taste in tv shows.

Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Janine for a few months for a knee injury. She’s helped SO much plus provided exercises for my horrible hips. Now going to start working on an elbow issue. Everyone is very friendly. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: "I have spent several sessions with Michelle Szkwarek (Physiotherapist) to diagnose and seek treatment.  She has an incredibly sincere and friendly presence that delivers results. She explains her methodical process clearly and effectively by identifying root causes.  Will always come back to Michelle! Andrea Melito (RMT) provides a consistently great experience with each session for both my wife and me at every visit.  Her great personality and technique always leave us feeling rejuvenated physically and mentally.  Have been going and will always be going to Andrea."

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but great experiences with the staff at this location. Michelle has been amazing with not only my treatment, but the treatment of my clients as well (I am a personal trainer). Everyone is very welcoming, they know their stuff and keep me running !!! I would highly recommend anyone at this location ESPECIALLY MICHELLE! My Clients have also had nothing but great things to say about the treatment they have received. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend visiting The Downtown Sports Clinic! I have been seeing Michelle for about a month now and not only has she helped with my pain management, but she has given me the guidence and confidence to learn and understand my body and it's limits. The staff are friendly and inviting and are extremely diligent in following all current safety procedures.

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Michelle enough for her expertise and knowledge in working on different areas ( that I did not realize or even think were connected) to reduce the headaches I am having from my car accident. I would definitely recommend this clinic. Janie is great too.

Fantastic experience: After surgery for a shattered heel, I started physio with Michelle Szkwarek at the Downtown Sports Clinic. She took me from non-weight bearing range of motion work, to walking, to training in preparation to get back to my regular sports. Her expertise and knowledge is a huge part of my recovery, and I am very grateful!

Fantastic experience: I'm recovering from an ankle surgery and am currently being treated by Michelle. As a new Calgarian, I was unsure of what I would find when I moved. I couldn't be happier with the experience I've had so far with Michelle and fully recommend her as an expert clinician!

Negative experience: I came today for my appointment and had an excellent time while on my physio with an excellent professional physiotherapist. The issue was while walking on the hallway to the exit. The lady Julie stop me right there and ask me to stay still by the washroom. I wondered why? then she said because social distancing. I was doing my two meters apart from other costumer. I came here so many times and know the quarantine law very well. The worst part she made a huge deal in front of everybody talking out loud and called my phisyo to escort me to the door. You know I came to have my treatment, not to steal nothing, she should be more professional and address issues like privately with the parts involved. I call to the general manager of the Barclays location to take matters on this issue. Me as a costumer need to feel welcome and be treated in a respectful and professional way.

Fantastic experience: I saw Susan Tsang for pelvic floor physio after having my first baby and she was simply fantastic. She was extremely professional, was able to provide great guidance for exercises I could do to restore my pelvic floor health after birth and she also helped me ease back into running postpartum. Her approach is very smooth, she explains it all very clearly and will provide different cues to make sure you get it. I am extremely pleased with the treatment and would highly recommend her. Lastly, I should mention the clinic's admin staff made things so easy and submitted everything through insurance.

Fantastic experience: Always a very fulfilling time with Michelle! She cares very much that I'm on the way to the best health which leaves me feeling very positive on the direction I'm heading! Thanks to Michelle and The Downtown Sports Clinic for my superb treatments!

Fantastic experience: Every time I reach without pain, or do a push up or jumping jack with full range of motion, I think of Janine Ankenmann and how she repaired my shoulder. I came in after a year of living with pain in my arm and she was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it through 3 intense but effective sessions. She listened, analyzed and treated me in those 3 sessions. I would not hesitate to go back for any other issues. She was always happy, and I always looked forward to her sunny disposition, greatly appreciated in the quietness of downtown. I am ever so grateful she was my physiotherapist, because now I can get back to living a more full life with newly mobile shoulder.

Fantastic experience: Dr Felesky Hunt has been amazing to work with for my dietary needs. The staff in the clinic are so welcoming and professional each time I visit.

Fantastic experience: A big thankyou and vote of confidence for the Downtown Sports Clinic (Barclay Ctr) in Calgary. I've used them a few times over the years with back and knee issues and the Physio service and advice is always totally professional, prompt, and most importantly it's rapidly effective. Last week I really hurt my back by arching it while doing weights. Big mistake. Couldn't go in person due to Covid quarantine but had to try something. I was very happy and surprised when within three days and two video physio appointments my back was already 85% better and improving. I never would have thought physio could work by video. But Michelle's advice on the physiology of my injury, and video instructions on which stretches and lacrosse ball release pressure techniques to do (3x daily) were instantly helpful. Thankyou Michelle & the DTSC, such a relief!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more happier to have found this place. Staff is really great.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pow is very good

Fantastic experience: Michelle Szkwarek was fantastic! Super knowledgable and was easy to talk with. She has me back at 100% and Im super happy with my experience. I strongly recommend her! The front office staff was also great and super friendly everytime I had an appointment. Thanks alot!

Fantastic experience: I went in for a physio appointment just to check on some instability and chronic pain in my knee. Janine was so knowledgeable! She asked me questions and did tests that made me realize how long I have had this pain and how the pain has progressed. I have been very active most of my life and just assumed pain came along with the territory. Janine’s treatment has already made it feel better and the strength training and further information she provided me has made me extremely optimistic for a painless future! Thank you so much for the incredible service! I can not recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been undergoing PT treatment for an achilles rupture for five months with Janine at the Barclay Centre location. From the onset, I was impressed with their overall professionalism, and organization. They've seamlessly integrated covid protocols for a clean and safe environment. Janine is knowledgeable, very skilled, and straight forward in her practice. My type of injury has a long recovery, and the process can be daunting. Janine has been supportive and has been really great at giving me tangible, achievable goals along the process of recovering, and it's really impacted my motivation along the way. I'm quite happy with the progress I've made, and would definitely recommend Janine and this clinic.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the Downtown Sports Clinic for many years and I have always been impressed with their professional service and ability to diagnose and treat my injuries. My recent visit with Michelle was very thorough and enabled me to get back to playing sports quickly.

Fantastic experience: I went to Downtown Clinics for a knee pain. Michelle was very friendly and knowledgeable. She brought relief to my pain and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: The Downtown Sports Clinic is great - awesome front desk staff, and nice facilities. I highly recommend seeing Michelle Szkwarek, who has been unbelievably helpful keeping my body in-check and supporting me through my training.

Fantastic experience: Michelle Szkwarek was amazing in helping me through the healing of the dislocation of my knee. Her knowledge and expertise was so appreciated. I would highly recommend Michelle for any of your physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I approached Janine years ago, with no injury, and asked her to measure my flexibility and help me to improve it for Ballet. Since then, she has been my physiotherapist, taught me a lot; starting off from teaching me how to properly breath. I've had a few of those aha moments with her. I believe the reason is she is a good teacher too, so you hear something from her that you've heard from so many other trainers and coaches but you just start to fully understand it. Never been with her in pain, so cannot comment on that front.

Fantastic experience: Janine Ankenmann is my to-go person when it comes to dealing with my vertigo. I was so nervous at first since I didn't know what to expect. The exercises and her explanation of vertigo have made me feel comfortable. She has helped me and continues helping me with my dizziness and headaches. Janine is passionate about what she does, and it shows with her work, she's super outgoing, and it's always a pleasure when seeing her. You are terrific, Janine!

Fantastic experience: I have consulted with Julie for treatments weekly since May 19 for a leg injury. I have been a patient of Julie for the past 25 years, and she always solved my issues and got me back active and pain free again. With the COVID situation, as a patient, I felt very comfortable and safe to be in her clinic, and have an "in-patient" consult. Staffs all display the highest standard of care and cleanliness, and very stringent COVID protocols to keep everyone safe. Don't delay, go for treatments if you are injured. You will feel safe too, and will be back at your sports in no time under the care of these physiotherapists. Thank you Julie!!

Fantastic experience: I injured myself during covid and could not find a physio therapist anywhere in comes along Janine Ankenmann who was found for me by a friend of ours .janine was amazing she had started video conferences right away and also had a exercise program for me the second day was great at keeping in touch and making sure my exercises were done right .I highly recommend her for any of your physio needs. I would definitely see her again if need

Fantastic experience: Janine Ankenmann has been absolutely amazing. Last year I began to develop problems in my left hip and groin from golfing. The pain lingered and got worse and worse to where I couldn’t get out of a car without intense pain. What’s worse I could barely swing a golf club. I truly thought nothing would help my hip as it just kept deteriorating. I was referred to my Janine from my brother who also had an amazing experience with her after a bike accident. After 2 sessions in the clinic, and following her very simple and clear program, I was back golfing with no pain, playing better than ever. I can move freely with no issues whether it’s running, biking or hitting a golf club. She got me back to the golf course and I couldn’t thank her enough. I highly highly recommend her if your having any issues. She’s also just a lovely person and easy to talk to. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely astounding the work that is done here!

Fantastic experience: The best physiotherapy clinic that I have been to. I have worked with Michelle Szkwarek and she is great. Very knowledgeable and dedicated professional. She helped me with an ankle injury that had been bothering me for more than one year.

Fantastic experience: I had a few virtual treatments with Michelle Szkwarek for a knee injury and it was great! She was able to make a diagnostic and give me exercises to do at home and it worked really well. I am now fully recovered. Thank you Michelle!
