Craven SPORT Services: Reviews
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place . I've been coming here for my recovery and GRAEME is a great person who focuses on every detail to make sure the recovery goes well .
Fantastic experience: Taylor and Dave got me moving again after a back injury at work. Good listeners. Very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend going to see Carson Blight as your PT. He is so friendly and professional and knows exactly what he’s talking about. I came in with back issues that for years various health providers couldn’t help me with. Carson was kind and compassionate and was a very attentive listener. He gave me a great plan to get me feeling better. I am so lucky to have found Carson. I couldn’t recommend him enough!!
Fantastic experience: I had a physiotherapy session with Taygen and I'm already satisfied with her diagnosis and exercises
Fantastic experience: This place is one of the best in the business! I had been seeing Taylor Klassen for almost a year after rupturing my Achilles and the rehab plan he put together was second to none. Currently am working with Mackenzie Fast with a dry needling program and again the process has been fantastic. If you need physio help, reach out to this team!
Negative experience: Disappointed. Went 4 times. Did not receive any actual physical therapy, only was given exercises to do which didn't improve my condition.
Fantastic experience: Carven Sport Services offers an exceptional experience from start to finish. The welcoming reception staff sets a friendly tone upon arrival, while the highly skilled therapists demonstrate genuine care and expertise throughout the treatment process. Their dedication to patient well-being shines through in every interaction, making them the go-to choice for anyone seeking top-notch therapy services.
Fantastic experience: I was going to Craven for just over 16 weeks regularly due to a work place injury. My first appointment was with Taylor which was truly an amazing choice. From there, I had gone here seeing Taylor regularly, and as well David in their gym. Towards my last 6 weeks here, I was pushed (through WCB) to attending 5 days a week seeing both Taylor, David and as well Mitch. All three of them are such amazing individuals in so many ways. They are all very caring, knowledgeable, understanding and informative. They were all easy to communicate with and can easily connect with individuals. That’s only just to name a few amazing things about them. Most importantly though, they all have true commitment and passion in treating & assisting individuals like myself as they go through their rehabilitation to achieve the goal of recovery. This also goes with the rest of the team here. From what I’ve seen, this whole team is awesome in so many ways for what they do. I was recommended this place and I am truly thankful I followed that recommendation. I will definitely recommend this clinic to anyone.
Fantastic experience: The physiotherapist and exercise therapist really improved my range of motion and strengthening after an accident.They explained the exercises well and what I could expect. I was impressed by their team approach and highly recommend Craven Sports Service.
Fantastic experience: I saw Lee Stevens many times to work through different issues. He was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind, as were the other physiotherapists I worked with. The admin staff were also great.
Negative experience: Office administration is the worst here, girls charging my insurance and then say it didn't go through so I paid them but when I call my Manulife insurance they said it went through and they paid the money to craven, so I told my insurance to reverse back and then they called me the payment did go through and they send the check to Manulife, after 4 months still waiting for money but they never sent any check to Manulife, recently I had appointment in Jan and girl told me payment goes through and weeks later told me it didn't go through on my Manulife claims statement it was showing money went to them, funny thing is no responsibility
Fantastic experience: Craven Sports is the best. The front desk staffs are so accommodating. My PT is Carson, he is very knowledgable and he identified the cause of my neck and shoulder pain. I can say after my therapy with him, I feel that have a brand new shoulder. No pain at all. I highly recommend Craven and Carson
Fantastic experience: Best Physiotherapist! Mitch Hillis! I am almost like new in 6 months!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for the past 6 months looking to continue my health and wellness journey. I have been extremely satisfied with the staff and the overall friendliness and positive culture that this gym has. The staff have made this a community not just a gym and they show a genuine happiness to see you when you arrive. The trainers that I’ve worked with, Curtis and Dave, have an amazingly positive demeanour and put true care into the gym and it's people. They always listen attentively to my needs and work hard to create an exercise program that best suits my needs. Having a good trainer is a big part of my motivation to stay on track. If you’re looking for physiotherapy exercise therapy, or training plans, Craven SPORT will EXCEED your expectations I promise you!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Great vibe, organized, efficient. Excellent exercises and saw really big results.
Fantastic experience: Have been so incredibly impressed with Jae Gorgchuck - she’s such a wonderful physio and has been a great resource in not only pain reduction but increasing mobility with a back issue I’ve struggled with for years. Finally feeling like I can get parts of my life back (pun intended). Couldn’t recommend her more!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend craven for anyone with physio needs. Everyone is beyond friendly, respectful, and helpful. My physio therapist was Taylor and he was just amazing. Very informative and could explain concepts to me with ease.
Fantastic experience: The best physiotherapy team I’ve had. Cannot recommend enough!! As a hockey goalie I wish I would have started working with Bruce years ago. He notices the small details and helps make the necessary changes to feel great on and off the ice. He also goes above and beyond for his patients. The facilities at both Craven locations are top notch allowing for a very professional training session.
Fantastic experience: I met with Michelle Keene for some muscle and knee issues-she was very professional and informative in explaining to me my path to better health physically -I would highly recommend her to anyone for physiotherapy!
Fantastic experience: Jae Gorgchuk is great. She helped me through a concussion and got me working on some long problematic postural stuff. Really good physio facility.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to get help with improving my body strength and fitness. Staff is above great, both physiotherapy (Curtis Kulchar) and trainers. All trainers watch how we each complete our exercises and make positive suggestions for improvement. In short order everyone knows our names. All the staff is wonderful, from Brianne et all who greets you coming in, to trainers who know the body, kinesiology and who give individualized attention. I didn’t want to give a review because of fear that time slots would be full. Only negative is that the facility should have enough supplies for each station (foam blocks, mats, clips etc ) so I don’t waste time looking for supplies. (Although the trainers will find supplies for me, I hate to pilfer from other stations). Jill provides me excellent 1-on-1 training advice which has greatly accelerated improvements in my flexibility and muscular strength and she has added to the initial programs provided by Curtis (physiotherapist). I’m now isolating the less obvious parts of my body that I haven’t had capacity to do. Within the last year at Craven, major weakness in one side of my pelvis & hip and opposite shoulder girdle, were hiding because of not-useful muscular compensations; these have certainly compromised walking, running, sports and activities of daily living, for many decades and are now finally being addressed. I have increased functional strength, improved posture and flexibility and I feel good. I wish I had started all this decades ago. At home, by myself, exercises aren’t anywhere as useful. Going to an appointment is wiser for me. Luckily I can afford this luxury, to give myself this therapy. I wish I’d known about Craven’s programs a long time ago as these have been life-changing for me.
Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with my knee and leg pain for months now. I saw a Physio Therapist at a different office with limited result. Angela Braun was able to diagnose my problem accurately and was a huge help. I feel in excellent hands with Angela and Craven Sports Services. I have hope. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I am awaiting hip surgery and participated in a study involving Craven SPORT services and the College of Medicine at the U of S. The physiotherapist who led our program was Tyler and he was brilliant! The detail with which he explained each exercise and the care he displayed while monitoring each of our workouts were professional, friendly, easily understood, helpful, and even had some humour sprinkled in. If you experience pain and/or discomfort from osteoarthritis in a lower joint, he is a great person to talk with.
Fantastic experience: Great staff! Taylor is a great physio therapist!
Negative experience: I had a terrible experience where they called me and said: "we are calling just to say that you didn't pay $25 from your physio", never asked if I paid or not... and yes, I did pay, sent a proof as they requested by email from my credit card statement + a copy of their own email saying that I had paid.... Also I canceled all my physio from that place and they told me that a manager would call me... It has been more than 2 weeks and nobody contacted me... And now, I don't want to be contacted as well
Fantastic experience: Just wanted other people to know Craven SPORT services would be my number 1 place to go for physio therapy and other exercise therapy! I specifically worked mostly with Taylor K! Taylor K fixed me and he can fix you too!
Fantastic experience: Betsy at Craven is excellent. She first helped my son through a concussion and he really liked her, so I made an appointment for an injury. She explained things to my knowledge level and was always sure I was comfortable with everything we were doing. She took her time to learn about me as a person and was able to diagnose my problems and let me interrupt at any time with all of my questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and supportive and honestly seems to want what is best for you. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Fantastic experience: I did a running assessment with Rhonda and couldn’t believe the improvement after just one session! I would highly recommend doing this for runners of all levels and abilities. She was able to see things I wouldn’t be able to on my own, and thoroughly explained what I needed to improve on and how I can get there.
Fantastic experience: Craven Sports is a very inviting environment to walk into. Their receptionists are absolutely lovely, and after each visit I leave feeling so cared for and about by each member of the team I interact with. Angela Braun has been such an amazing physiotherapist! In the few short months I have been working with her I have really noticed progression in my balance and strength. She continually encourages me and reminds me of how well I am doing despite my injury, which is so appreciated because sometimes it’s easy not to see it yourself. I have only begun my physiotherapy journey with her and still have a long way to go, but I am thankful I get to do it with her alongside a team of such wonderful people.
Fantastic experience: Ty Vandersteen has been wonderful, he is very knowledgeable and professional. After a couple quick tests, he diagnosed the problem and got to work on how we can fix it. He listens intuitively and cares about his patients. My condition is definitely improving. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Betsy at Craven for the past couple of months. Betsy is has been awesome and caring in her treatments. She has helped me in understanding my issue and pain, putting me on a treatment plan, and reevaluating when needed.
Fantastic experience: I have been here a few different time for treating different injuries: concussion, ankles, pelvic floor (prenatal and postnatal). All experiences have been great. Coming here for prenatal/ pelvic floor physio to help treat different hip pains and preparing for birth made such a HUGE difference with labour and recovery of my 2nd child. I highly recommend coming here
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Besty and she is so lovely! Very knowledgeable and makes be feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The clinic is beautiful and clean. Front end staff is always a pleasure to deal with! Definitely recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I came to Craven two years ago after an injury. I was matched with Hayley who is now a mainstay for my health and well being. She guided me through recovery from that original injury and has helped me build broader strength in my body overall. Two things about Hayley stand out for me. First, we have a collaborative relationship, working together to sort out a program that will work and that fits well for me. Secondly, Hayley believes in me and my capacity. The fact that I’m in my 60’s does not limit our goals. She gets 5 stars from me!
Fantastic experience: Unfortunately I've had a few occasions to frequent the place best treatment I could ask for. Great staff and facility. I hope to not be back but if I have to this is where I will be going.
Fantastic experience: Bree really came highly recommended for pelvic floor physio and she is skilled. She truly is worth the drive!! Feel good after visiting and i get stronger.
Fantastic experience: The team at Craven is amazing. I kept having setback after setback, I couldn't work out because my body struggled so much Finding Bree as my physio therapist changed everything, then I graduated to the fantastic Betsy. Now i work out at the Craven fascility 2x a week and love it.
Fantastic experience: I find Craven Sport Services to be a friendly and welcoming place. My physio therapist, Angela Braun is wonderful. She is easy to talk to and makes her client feel at ease. She is also quick to determine the problem and has made a huge improvement with my shoulder and neck problem.
Fantastic experience: It's always awesome here!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Craven for over two years in the supervised over 55 class on Tues and Thurs afternoons. My strength has improved signicantly and I enjoy the atmosphere. Each trainer has added to my knowledge and awareness of my body when doing the exercises. I started with a trainer who over three sessions set a program for me. When I'm ready for a new challenge I book another session with a trainer. I'm now at the point I could almost be considered deadly. Thanks Bruce, trainers and front desk staff, Brianna and Kienna. At 77 I'm a force - an old force but a force nonetheless.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Lee for just short of a year, and he is by far the best physiotherapist I have ever seen. His care, compassion and concern for his patients is phenomenal!
Fantastic experience: Danelle has been my personal trainer for the past two years. She is personable, professional and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance recovering from an injury or who wants someone to motivate and help them reach strength and fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Craven gym for almost two years. I have found every trainer to be knowledgeable and “on the spot” for questions, adjustments and support. I am in the elder group and appreciate having my own station with equipment easily available and a trainer nearby.
Fantastic experience: Explains workout very well. Helps us do our exercises safely and correctly. To Dean: Solid dude.
Fantastic experience: Great place and great coaches. Special thanks to Hayley who is helping me on my journey to reach out my fitness goal while staying injury free. #ultramarathon

Fantastic experience: Bruce Craven and his team are so amazing to work with! They all take the time to help you with your individual needs and make sure you are progressing and keeping on track with your goals :) 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: The best training centre! I’ve been working out here for 1.5yrs and they’re truly the best people to work with. Every trainer is motivating, supportive and provides recommendations even if they’re not the ones training you. The admin team is the absolute best and always so accommodating. If you’ve ever felt discouraged or unmotivated to get fit and healthy this is the place to go! Thankful for my journey at Craven
Negative experience: Had to Wait for appointment and then my appointment was rushed and short
Thank you for sharing your feedback from your recent physiotherapy appointment at our Saskatoon clinic. We are sorry to hear that you felt your appointment was rushed or cut short. While our therapists do sometimes fall a few minutes behind schedule due to unique client circumstances outside of their control, we always ensure that this does not impact the duration of treatment for any subsequent appointments. For example, if an appointment begins five minutes late, we will ensure the therapist spends an extra five minutes with the client on the other end. If you would like to discuss your recent appointment in more detail, we invite you to reach out to our admin team directly at (306) 934-2011 so we can look into your situation further and find a resolution! Thank you so much, Craven SPORT services.
Fantastic experience: This business is amazing. Both Betsy and David are extremely capable and professional. After suffering a concussion in January I was just "discharged" this week. The front desk team was also very professional.
Fantastic experience: Have had 2 kids in at Craven, nothing but great things to say about the whole staff! Betsy was our PT and helped my son work with and through some big issues from a concussion, and my daughter with her elbow injury. Fantastic Physio and an amazing team of professionals. Definitely worth the drive into the city for treatments.
Fantastic experience: Had a concussion and whiplash..... they took care of me.... I am fully recovered thanks to their coaching and training.... thank you Betsy Mawdsley and David Kobylak.....
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are really glad to hear that our physiotherapy and exercise therapist teams could help support your recovery. Wishing you all the best as you set and meet new goals in the coming year!
Fantastic experience: The Craven team as was friendly and professional right from the time I walked in. I saw Betsy and Dave for a shoulder injury, they were very supportive and great at giving explanations for every movement or exercise that was done.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with our team! We are so thrilled to hear of the success you had working with Betsy and Dave to rehabilitate your shoulder injury. All the best to you as you continue to set and reach new goals!
Fantastic experience: I've spent several months here rehabbing after a bad MVA and can tell you my experience here has been nothing less than fantastic. The entire staff has been wonderful and attentive. They listen and answer questions, and are very professional in all respects. My thanks to everyone at Craven Sport Services.
Thank you so much! We are so thrilled to hear of your positive experience with our team following your motor vehicle accident earlier this year. Car accidents are always an unfortunate event, but we are so happy we were able to help you recover. Thank you for trusting us, and we wish you all the best with the next chapter!
Fantastic experience: I saw Rhonda. She was excellent! Very friendly and professional. She took the time to explain in full detail to me about what my problem was and how to fix it. She made me feel very comfortable. Friendly staff as well.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are so thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience with our Director of Physiotherapy Rhonda Shishkin. We are excited to hear where your journey with her takes you!
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for 9+ years and their physiotherapy is amazing. Everyone is always nice and they help you out with what you're looking to get done
Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We are so lucky to have clients that trust us with their physiotherapy needs across their life-span. Wishing you much health, mobility, and activity in the season ahead!
Fantastic experience: Melissa is awesome! She identified the cause of several abdominal pain that my doctor was unable to, despite various tests. Within 2 appointments was experiencing significantly less pain and discomfort! I am looking forward to what the end result of treatment will be, given results so far I am certain I will be impressed. Also I have to mention how welcoming and professional the environment is at CSS. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Awesome experience and looking forward to achieving my health and fitness goals with CSS.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so excited to hear that your physiotherapist Melissa is helping you manage your abdominal pain, and can't wait to hear where your physiotherapy journey takes you!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Craven was excellent. Front office was very helpful and friendly. My physiotherapist - Jared - was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He effortlessly answered all my questions with easy to understand terminology. I am also very pleased with his plan to help improve my physical health and well-being. I look forward to my upcoming appointments with Jared at Craven.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We are thrilled to hear of your positive experience with physiotherapist Jared and his ability to develop a plan to improve your health and comfort! We can't wait to hear where this journey together takes you!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this place. After an injury at work which left me unable to walk due to my foot being crushed, they brought me back to full mobility. They being Megan, David, and Ty. These guys are the real deal.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear what a positive experience you had working alongside Ty, David and Megan to resolve your workplace injury claim. Wishing you all the best as you resume regular function and mobility!
Fantastic experience: Back was bugging me from playing golf. Saw Megan Lautner. She did an excellent job of diagnosing the problem and giving me exercises to fix that. She also figured out a problem with my ankles. Don't run with duck feet.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so glad to hear Megan was able to help resolve your back pain, in additional to some additional ankle concerns! Wishing you a comfortable and active autumn!
Fantastic experience: My 9 year old son got a concussion playing hockey which was a scary experience. I really had no idea what to do. We were recommended by a friend to take him to a concussion management clinic and they recommended Craven Sports. I’m so happy we decided to make an appointment. Betsy has been amazing and very knowledgeable. She encourage me to email her with any questions we had and she answered the emails promptly. I couldn’t be happier with the guidance and care my son has received. They also have an app they use which helps guide you through the process at home. I would definitely highly recommend coming to this clinic for concussion management.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We are so thrilled to hear that you and your son had such a positive experience with your physiotherapist Betsy in managing your son's concussions. We recognize how stressful and concerning concussion injuries can be, and feel proud that her support was able to ease that process! Wishing your son all the best as he returns to hockey!
Positive experience: I was somewhat disappointed about a few things. First of all you should not advertise that your insurance provider covers the expense of the class because mine will not cover group sessions. Secondly, I would prefer a daytime class even if it’s a weekend. And last, but not least, it would be nice if you provided a paper hand-out on the exercises so I could do them at home. I am only going once a week, because the other evening does not work for me. The staff and front desk personnel are very friendly and willing to assist you. Also I’m impressed with the cleanliness of the place & equipment.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about our Osteoarthritis Exercise Intervention Program. Hopefully we can clarify a few things to better improve the experience of yourself and future participants down the road! We apologize if there were any misinterpretations surrounding your insurance provider's ability/willingness to cover our Osteoarthritis Program. This program is indeed considered 'physiotherapy', but every plan is unique in terms of what % of a receipt is covered, and if there are any limitations. That said, we appreciate you sharing your experience and will remind future clients who are unsure about their coverage to contact their insurance provider in advance! The popularity of our Osteoarthritis Exercise Intervention Program means that classes tend to fill up very quickly! This season, we are running five groups: 3 in the morning and 2 in the evening. The daytime sessions have a tendency to fill more quickly. We like to recommend that those who are interested in a certain class time join our waitlist ahead of time, so as to ensure they are able to secure a spot in the session that best fit's their schedule! If you connect with our admin team, they can do their best to save you a spot in a morning group during the next cycle if you'd like! Finally, in terms of not having copies of the exercise program available electronically/printed, this is typically done because the programs adapt/evolve on a regular basis during the 8-week program. There may also be modifications that are unique to you that will be shared with you by your physiotherapist. Those interested in taking their program home are encouraged to take a photograph of their weekly hand-out in class, as this can be helpful for continuing these movements regularly at home! Thanks again for sharing your feedback, and please let us (or your physiotherapist) know if there's anything else we can do to help you make the most of your time in the OA program!
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy to receive treatment at Craven Sport Services. Rhonda is patient and extremely knowledgeable.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you've had a great experience thus far with physiotherapist Rhonda Shishkin! All the best as you continue forward with your care!
Fantastic experience: my experience at Craven was excellent in every way! The greeting at the front desk was friendly and check in was efficient. I did not have to wait past my appointment time - pretty rare anywhere else. I would recommend Paula Sather to anyone as a physiotherapist. Excellent diagnosis and treatment and she takes the time to explain everything and answer questions.
Thank you so much for you kind review. We are so glad that you had such a positive experience with us, and that your physiotherapist Paula Sather was able to support your injury management and recovery so well. All the best to you!
Fantastic experience: Megan and David were both extremely helpful in my recover from my back injury. Megan was amazing in educating me on how to maintain and improve my form , strength and motion ranges..This is the 2nd time having David as my strength and conditioning coach , the first was For a rotator cuff injury and I couldn't recommend a better individual to help with my recovery of youra He always put the extra time and effort in to focus on aspects of training that pertained to my goals for recovery. And always maintained a professional yes personable relationship. If you happen to have the pleasure of getting him as strength aand conditioning coach make sure to ask how his fish doing.
Thanks so much for your kind review of both Megan and David! We are so thrilled that the combination of physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation has helped you recover from your back injury. Wishing you all the best moving forward!
Fantastic experience: The experience and knowledge of the Craven SPORT team is amazing. They've helped me get back on track and reaching my goals for years to come!
Thanks so much for your 5-star review of our physiotherapy and training team! We really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: I began seeing Curtis at Craven last August after sustaining an injury to my left knee that left me with complete tears of my PCL and MCL, a high grade tear to my ACL, and a long list of other significant but less severe tears and contusions. Surgical repair being the norm, my specialist instead recommended we take a relatively novel, non-surgical route to rehabilitate the injury. The rehabilitation process, which took approximately seven months of one-on-one physiotherapy multiple times per week, eventually turned out to be successful. Nearly one year post-injury, I can do almost everything I could do pre-injury with relative comfort and confidence. Curtis, humble as he is, would give all the credit to me, suggesting he played only a supporting role. But this would not be a fair account of the process. While I can't attribute all the credit to Curtis, I can say with extreme confidence that were it not for his careful attention and sustained effort, I would not have the lifestyle that I now enjoy, at one point effectively lost, almost entirely restored. Curtis provided the tools that enabled us to succeed in this process. The training plan he created was both optimistic and realistic. He tempered my expectations from the process with a pragmatic attitude, careful to remind me that our progress would plateau at times. When it did, and my motivation would falter, he would empathize before reminding me of our broader, long-term goals. Overall, Curtis was careful to create a plan tailored to my injury. He managed this plan in a way that was responsive to me as an individual. In the end, he played a critical role in restoring my knee and, most importantly, my enjoyment in life. I will never be able to thank him enough.
Thank you so so much for this wonderful review. We are so thankful that Curtis's care, attention, and drive was able to support you on this incredible journey. Your willingness to show up so regularly for yourself to rehabilitate this injury non-surgically was also remarkable - a major congratulations is in order! Thank you for trusting us with helping you get your regular life back, and all the best as you continue to progress forward!
Fantastic experience: First class place and people. Friendly and passionate about what they do. David K was one 9f the best strength coaches I have ever worked with and Katherine L was an amazing physiotherapist i am sad that my time has come to an end. I highly recommend Craven above all others.
Thank you so much for this great review - it means so much to our clinic! We wish you all the best as you continue on your journey towards health, strength, and wellbeing!
Fantastic experience: When I first came to see Betsy I was in rough shape. I could only walk or stand for a few minutes before being in pain. Over the last 6 months she worked with me, putting in so much time and effort to get me to the point where I can function without pain. We had so many setbacks and she went above and beyond to work through them with me. I highly recommend Betsy she is very knowledgeable and personable. Everyone at Craven Sports have been great. The receptionist are so friendly. Always a warm welcome when arriving. I’ve seen Dave a few times and he is great. I would highly recommend him too.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We can't express how glad we are to hear that during your time with Betsy and Dave you've seen such a difference in your pain. We'll be sure to pass this on to them as well, as it will mean a lot to them. Congratulations on all of your progress and cheers to continuing to meet new goals!
Fantastic experience: Some of the most incredible human beings I've met to date work at Craven. Passionate and professional people who go above and beyond for their clients, and who actually, genuinely care about them.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We really appreciate you sharing your experience, and are so glad to hear you've been so cared for during your time with CSS!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place because of Kim Fraser. Prior to Kim, I saw 4 other physiotherapists, all of which were not able to help. Kim was able to help me significantly in the very first treatment! She is so knowledgeable, personable, and you always leave with so much optimism. I saw her today, and going in, I was experiencing a lot of pain all throughout my back. For the rest of the day, I didn't have one episode of pain. She is magical!
Thank you so much for this incredible review for our physiotherapist Kim! It's so great to hear that working with her gave you the support and help you needed. Cheers to ongoing healing and less back pain in the future!
Fantastic experience: All the staff is awesome, and super friendly. I have been seeing Danelle for over a year and she is fantastic!
Thanks so much for the 5-star review! Glad to hear you had such a positive experience with our team :)
Fantastic experience: I really can’t say enough to express how Kim Fraser and the rest of the team at Craven have...saved me! As a middle aged dude who decided to take up triathlons, I was so inefficient as a runner that I kept getting injured. Kim’s deep understanding of runners and how the whole body must work together, not just targeting the areas that hurt, pulled me from the brink of quitting the sport to thriving at it! She’s my go-to at the first sign that something is off, and I highly, highly recommend her and everyone else at Craven!!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are so happy to hear that you've found so much joy in triathlon, and that our physiotherapist Kim has been able to help you master your running! Wishing you all the best as you continue to progress :)
Fantastic experience: Our experience at Craven has been nothing short of amazing . My daughter’s physiotherapist Betsy has done amazing things with my daughter. She has taken her from being a top athlete to being able to step up to elite level . Betsy is one of the nicest most knowledgeable people we’ve ever met, she’s extremely caring and committed to her patients . My daughter also sees Lakyn for massage and the collaboration between Betsy and Lakyn has been wonderful . Betsy has also made sure to work with our daughters other coaches and trainers to ensure that it’s a team approach with her treatment. In conclusion- Craven sports and their team are amazing we give it a 10/10 recommendation.
Thank you so much for your incredible review! It's so awesome to hear that our physiotherapist Betsy has been able to make such a positive impact on your daughter's athletic performance. Hearing about the collaboration between Betsy and Lakyn is the cherry on top! Thank you so much for putting your trust in us, and for sharing your experience online :)
Positive experience: Lovely staff, Covid protocols are great, user friendly intake system. Good location, easy free parking. My therapist seems knowledgeable. He listened intently. I left feeling confident. I am excited to get to the point where I can start supervised training. I am a person who requires accountability and an overseer who can assure me I'm doing my workout properly. I'm happy to be on this path with Craven.
Thank you so much for this kind review!! Your reflections on our system as a whole (from booking to COVID protocols to treatment to future supervised training planning) is so rewarding for our team to read. Wishing you all the best as your treatment & training progresses!
Fantastic experience: A wonderful training centre...a program is developed especially for YOU, with the help of a Physiotherapist or a Personal Coach. You buy passes and book on a schedule that suits you. A Personal Training Coach watches over the small group of people that are working out on their individual programs and comes by often to correct your movements as needed. VERY HELPUL!! VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!!! I feel very welcome and comfortable at this training centre. The best way to work out and do the movements properly to prevent injury!!! Thank you Craven Sports!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this kind review!! We are so glad to hear you've benefited from our integrated approach to physiotherapy and training, and have found such value in our Supervised Training program! Amazing feedback like this is what keeps us all doing what we do - thank you!
Fantastic experience: It's fair to say that this place - both the gym and physio - has changed my life. I am a fit person that has two toddlers but I had nagging hip pain. In May, I made the best decision by seeing Jill (strength and conditioning trainer) at the gym. Even through video assessment she could tell that I was using the wrong muscles at the wrong time, and this was contributing to my pain. I wasn't actually using my left hip so Jill has been an immense educator with correcting that issue. But that wasn't the entire problem, and Jill recognized there must be a reason why I am not using my hip - enter Kim, the physiotherapist. Kim identified that I had an old pelvic floor injury from childbirth and I was reinforcing the injury and the lack of lower ab muscle development by overusing stabilizers. Between Jill and Kim my pain is completely gone, I have rebuilt the way I work-out, have learned an absolute tonne about my body and feel great! It is so amazing to have a team that cares about you feeling better. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the great review! We are so happy to hear that you were able to combine the help of both our strength & conditioning programming through Jill and our physiotherapy services through Kim to develop a meaningful and lasting solution to your hip pain! This is a perfect example of the holistic approach to pain management, strength training, and whole-body health we hope to promote at CSS. Wishing you all the best with your ongoing training (and keeping up with your toddlers!).
Fantastic experience: I have been a client at Craven for a few years now. Lee is my physio and he is excellent. I always appreciate his treatment plan. Front staff are all very nice. I as well as my family continue to use Craven Sports Services. I also appreciate their commitment to community and wanting to help.
Thank you so much for this awesome review! We are so glad to hear you've had such a positive physiotherapy experience within our clinic, and that you've felt cared for by both your treating therapist Lee and our front-desk staff. We appreciate you taking the time to share this positive feedback :)
Fantastic experience: I have done 4 rounds of physiotherapy in my 4 some decades of life. This clinic is by far & away the best of the clinics. Evidence-based, competent, and respectful - and that's just to start. A sports psychology knowledge and positive spirit pervade this clinic. Perhaps one clinic in Ottawa was more technologically advanced, but this SK clinic is all about doing the doing the good work. Front desk could be more welcoming, but entry into any bldg during the government imposed covid-19 restrictions is unwelcoming. Loss of on-site medical imaging recently. Specialized service in concussion care provided here however. With the step-down supervised gym a block over, there is an excellent continuum of care provided here.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful 5-star review! Your positive experience means so much to us - especially with so much experience as a physiotherapy patient across the country. Wishing you the best as you continue to build strength and mobility!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Bruce and staff for over 3 years and have achieved things I never thought possible after sustaining an injury. Thanks to Bruce I have come back far stronger and more functional than I have ever been. Thank you for all your hard work, Bruce!!!
