ORKA Performance

Great sports therapy clinic! It was good to know my kid was getting physio to help heal with their specific sport in mind

Incredible physio program for athletes! I’ve worked with a couple of their physios, both great, and most recently with Dan who is doing wonders for my rehab.

Helping me transition from being sidelined (with multiple injuries) to performing better than before the injuries. Love how they bridge that gap between physio and athletic performance - as a climber and runner Ive seen a massive improvement and have overcome several injuries and issues - chronic back pain, shoulder surgery, torn ligament in ankle, etc.

Great system, great space with the right tools, and great physios! Highly recommended.

I have know Taylor for the last 10 years, he started off as my soccer strength and conditioning coach. But I have been apart of the ORKA team for the last 4 years and have nothing but great things to say. Taylor and Travis helped me recover physically and mentally from two back to back ACL tears. From personalizing workout plans, to giving me a place to rant about tearing my ACLS, they explain everything and make sure you understand what is going on throughout your entire recovery. Plus they are pretty amazing people. Not only do they care about your physical training but care about their patients mental health. I am so lucky to have had the ORKA team on my side and will always be grateful for the support they continue to show me. If you are looking for a place to rehab any injury, this is your place.

Chelsey Collins was outstanding! It is clear she knows her stuff. She spent extra time with my son assessing his ankle injury from a soccer injury. Incredible thorough assessment and sent us off with clear next steps. Such a positive experience as she is extremely professional.

I wish I had heard of Orka prior to my ACL&Meniscus surgery… as Travis is the ONE professional I trust 100% with my rehab; his knowledge and the way he treats you are just a phenomenal. The space and the technology they use is also the best I’ve seen in terms of rehabilitation center.

The Team at ORKA is professional, skilled, and SO dedicated to their athletes. Can't recommend them enough. They are the best.

This place is awesome. The staff are very friendly, the facility is high-end and forward thinking. I learnt a ton in my combo-clinic appointment.

I live in the South- but this is worth the drive!

My wife and I could not express how much we appreciate Taylor, Wes and the Orka team. When our son started this recovery journey he needed something that would not only help his physical recovery but his mental recovery as well. He loves going to Orka, he loves the friends he has made, who are on a similar journey as he is and understand the highs and lows of recovery. He considers Orka family. We could not thank you guys enough.

We have complete faith and trust in their knowledge and insight. We couldn’t be any happier with the Orka team, Taylor and Wes!

I came to Taylor with an ankle injury and he provided me with an awesome program working around my injury to help keep me fit and feeling strong throughout my recovery. Big fan of ORKA!

Chelsey was Very professional and knowledgeable. Easy to speak to regarding medical problems.

Travis has looked after me and my injuries for many many years. ORKA is not your average Physio clinic. These guys care, they Never Ever treat you with typical herd mentality. They assess you and treat you with what you need. Orka’s passion is making you well and getting you back into the shape you need. But you have to be willing to put in the effort. When you experience the care and attention they provide it makes you want to show them you have improved. ORKA is by far the best Physio and sports med clinic anywhere. Period! Thanks Travis. You are awesome! Kelvin.

I have had the opportunity to watch a former student athlete build something that is leading the way in the sports industry. It is extremely exciting to watch Taylor and everyone at ORKA Performance during their journey. My son had the opportunity to work with Taylor over a short window and the forward thinking, always learning and professional approach he takes with clients and business is impressive. The interaction and ability to speak he showed speaking with athletes was so valuable to their growth and understanding. I fully recommend anyone in the Calgary area to check this company and its people out!

Travis and Chelsea have both been extremely thorough, they listen, their questions are targeted and meaningful, their hands on is effective and the program brings in results. I have seen progress on both myself and on other people. The information and the assessing is super scientific and numbers don't lie! They're PHENOMENAL!

Taylor is a first class professional who cares immensely for his clients. I have raised two female elite soccer athletes who have had more then their share of injuries and setbacks. Taylor and his team are the most knowledge sports trainers and physio therapists that I have encountered when it come to injury prevention and rehabilitation.

These guys saved me. I've had some very major reconstructive work done to both of my ankles and until I found ORKA, I was not getting what I needed from physio to come back better and stronger. The model that Taylor and Travis are providing to local athletes is aligned with what you would find with a professional team. Since having my operations (which were supposed to be the end of my officiating career), I have only reached levels and milestones in my career that I didn't consider possible prior to Travis and Taylor's involvement.
If you want to be the best, you have to work with the best, and that's why I'll always work with ORKA Performance.

Thank you ORKA for a great first experience with your.physiotherapist Wesley. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. When I get injured I am always quite down, but I left physiotherapy feeling very hopeful, thank you!

I was looking for some support for rehab after a total hip replacement. Hannah listened to my concerns and suggested some exercises to get me back to sport. She was detailed in her instruction and I really felt like she understood my goals, and I look forward to working with her.

Orka performance has created the best training atmosphere any athlete has been lucky enough to be a part of. From the coaches to the parents to the athletes, Orka performance is the best in the business without question.

Can not speak highly enough about ORKA, specifically Travis Gaudet. As a fellow Physiotherapist, working in the high performance setting in Toronto, ON, Travis is my go- two for 2nd opinions. His Assessments, manual skills, and exercise prescription is next to none.
He is simply a cutting edge physio, and I'm extremely grateful that he is just a text message/email/phone call away!

I’ve had an awesome experience with ORKA for both physiotherapy and personal training. The team at ORKA is one of the only places I know that truly practices an integrated model for rehab. I began working with Travis following ACL surgery. Travis is incredibly professional and knowledgeable in his field. He adapts rehab protocol to suit the individual and communicates measurable milestones, which made the process feel less overwhelming. Taylor’s personal training programs are really thoughtful and focus on the priorities. I don’t play a competitive sport, but both Travis and Taylor treated me with the same attention to detail as any of the other athletes in their facility. They ran some tests on my strength at major milestones in my rehab to find out what kind of exercises I should be focusing on to get back to skiing and biking.

So many great things to say about this team. I will definitely continue visiting ORKA in the future as needed!

ORKA Performance has been crucial in my development as a Dinos Soccer University Athlete. They combine the highest level of training with injury prevention. Taylor truly cares for his athletes and I can proudly say that in my 5 years working with Taylor I have performed at my best with 0 injuries! Taylor goes above and beyond what is expected. He is always innovating and learning to provide the most up to date professional experience for his athletes. ORKA Performance provides the best of both worlds - HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & INJURY PREVENTION. If you want to elevate your game, ORKA Performance is your answer. No one does it better. I guarantee it.

I was blown away by the depth and attention to detail that Travis and the staff of ORKA covered during my initial assessment. After having surgery 10 months ago I was eager to find out where the gaps in my rehab were. He took several measurements of the surgical hip as well as the knee and ankle to make sure nothing was overlooked. Travis then took the time to review what the findings were and recommendations of exercises to address these. I am excited to start the next phase of my rehab with the ARP program and looking forward to re-measurements in 6 weeks times. As a physiotherapist, I would rank this above gold standard of treatment and would highly recommend Travis and ORKA to all.

My 12 yr old son joined ORKA at 7 months post-op from a functional ACL replacement. Working with Taylor at ORKA has been amazing for his strength, both physically and mentally, and has given him the confidence that his knee is ready to return to sport. Taylor uses sophisticated tools to measure the forces to compare good knee to repaired knee, and ORKA's unofficial motto, "If it's not being measured, you're guessing" is so true. We only wish we had known about ORKA sooner and got him working with Taylor earlier in his recovery.

As a fellow physiotherapist I can't say enough good things about Travis Gaudet. His level of knowledge and attention to detail separates himself from most physiotherapists in the profession. He is my go to therapist when I am in need of help, whether it be mentorship hours or assistance with the wealth of injuries I have sustained over the years. You will not be disappointed with the care you receive with Travis or the entire ORKA team. These guys are clearly leading edge in the field of rehabilitation medicine and I expect big things from the group moving forward.

When it comes to sports performance and return to play, the ORKA team provides a completely different rehab experience with such high attention to detail throughout the assessment, treatment, and strength and conditioning process. I can't recommend Travis and the ORKA team enough if you're looking to rehab an injury and/or improve performance.

I was referred to Travis by a friend who had a great experience working with Travis in the past. I went in to ORKA Performance to see Travis to get treatment on my shoulder I injured playing hockey and he was personable, professional, and very knowledgable. He quickly pinpointed the issue with my shoulder and provided effective treatment to resolve it. I highly recommend Travis to any injured athlete that wants to make a quick and effective recovery.

As someone who has been treated by a handful of physio therapists I can confidently say that Travis is as good as they get, I met Travis in January of 2018 (the day I was discharged from a 5 month hospital stay) due to a major motor vehicle accident. Travis not only had the ability to assess my laundry list of injuries but the knowledge, willingness, and determination to help me get back to a “normal” life. Every technique out there was explained and presented to me in a way that a non physio could understand. Travis happens to be the only one so far that has never put a cap on how far we can go and because of that we continue to surpass every doctor, surgeon, and specialists expectations of my recovery. I struggle to put into words the praise he deserves but know that when you choose Travis Gaudet you will receive the most professional and appropriate treatment for your specific injury/concern.
10/10 recommend

Great team of professionals with an obvious dedication to improving their clients' performances.

Taylor is by far the best in the business if you are looking to elevate your game to the next level or rehab from injury. He uses state of the art technology and is always updating his knowledge to provide clients with the newest methods available to achieving their goal. I have worked with Taylor for the past 5 years now and he has helped me develop and achieve successes that I didn't think were possible. I can confidently say that I will continue to work with Taylor for a long time.

I've been working with Travis Gaudet for several years now. I've been lucky when I was younger, to not be prone to injury, but as I've gotten older and entered back in to a world of competitive sport and overall being active in various forms - Travis is the best Physiotherapist I've had the pleasure of working with, and referring.

He has an amazing approach to his craft. He is committed to finding the best approach for all of his clients, and he is dynamic with his skillset and forms of communication. You can tell that he takes pride in what he does and thinks outside of the box to find the answers you as the patient are looking for.

He has an extensive sports background and is constantly educating himself outside of his practice to ensure that he is up to date on the latest in technology, gear, and rehab approaches.

Whether it's been my back, foot, shoulder, or hip.to disc bulges, sprains, tightness or my lack of flexibility - Travis has been at my side, creating programs, and going above and beyond the call of duty for helping me get better, taking care of myself, and coming out stronger than when I went in.

He makes himself available and has been a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with him in the future.but also, I hope I don't have to.cause that means I've been reckless and injured myself again.

TOP CLASS! I see Travis for physio after serious injuries and Taylor for sports performance and the two of them are the complete package for sports rehabilitation and strength building. If you are carrying a serious or minor injury, or want to become stronger and faster using with evidence based treatment - ORKA is the best option in the city.

Travis is hands down the best physio in Calgary, he's treated me and mentored me as a fellow Physio. ORKA is the only place in Calgary I go to get treatment for my athletics and performance training!

Although I have had other strength and conditioning coaches in the past, I've found ORKA Performance's team to be the most professional, diligent and dedicated when it comes to athlete care. Taylor and his team are not only experts in their fields but are a delight to work with. I would recommend, without hesitation, ORKA Performance to anyone looking to develop themselves further as an athlete.

Went to Travis for a shoulder issue and was given nothing but best care. Took time to explain where the pain was coming from and exercises to do at home to help with a speedy recovery with minimal visits.

Great service and has fixed me up for other injuries afterwards for hip flexor and knee.

Taylor Evernden and his team at ORKA Performance have been the most incredible people to work with over my athletic career. Not only are they extremely educated professionals in their field, but they produce amazing results. Throughout my soccer career I have had many injuries to say the least. With Taylors expertise I've been able to come back and play at the highest level. I am so grateful for what the ORKA Performance team has done for me!

Becoming a career firefighter was a lifelong
Goal for me. Being in good shape just doesn’t cut it for the heavy competition of 100’s of applicants for one spot. Working with Tommy took my fitness to a whole new level and helped me realize my dream. I am not only honoured to call him my friend but I will continue to use his programming and would recommend any would be first responders/workplace athletes to seek his guidance and professionalism.

Taylor’s the Strength and Conditioning Coach for our team, Dinos Field Hockey. I absolutely love Taylors training style and willingness to help us add appropriate workouts that will improve our personal and team results!
He’s always eager to explain an exercise and explain its purpose!
Could without a doubt recommend Evernden Performance to any athlete, recovery or team!
