THE Downtown Sports Clinics - Bow Valley Square

I've worked with Caroline at the Bow Valley Square location over the past year and she got me from thinking I'd never be able to run again to completing an Ironman within 8 months. She's a runner too, so she approaches her practice from a place of understanding.

Mary Chow is a very knowledgeable and skilled physiotherapist who genuinely cares for her clients. I would recommend her to anybody dealing with sport or work-related injuries.

Mary has been instrumental in designing and implementing my rotator cuff rehabilitation plan. From the initial assessment, to goal setting to designing progressive therapy sessions, Mary repeatedly demonstrates thoughtful and caring professionalism and patient care. I would recommend Mary to anyone and will continue to rely on her expertise to achieve my rehab goals.

Fabulous! I’ve seen both Sarah for physio and Ron for massage. Both services were amazing. Knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend.

Katie is a very kind and professional physiotherapist. Every time I come to my appointment she always asks how my pain is and goes with what is best for my injury. She is very gentle and make sure the environment is comfortable. Ron is also an amazing massage therapist as well! He is very welcoming and he always made sure I was comfortable as well. I definitely recommend going her for physio and massage treatments:)

Mary has helped me with my knee tendinopathy! Her exercises have helped heal the pain and I’m no longer limping. And Only after 1 session with her I no longer feel discomfort and have built strength I needed. Go see Mary she is incredible and also educates at the same time. Thank you Mary!

I chose the Downtown Sports Clinic, Bow Valley Square location through word of mouth. Katie Hung, my physiotherapist was very thorough in her analysis of my sore lower back, by asking questions as well as having me demonstrate various exercises. She created a series of exercises that I could do daily at home, during my golf round and afterwards that helped to take some of the pressure off my lower back. These core and lower back stretches are helping to stabilize and strengthen my core. I am very grateful to Katie for helping me successfully finish the golf season and prepare for next year.

I see Caroline for sport related injury and she is absolutely phenomenal. She listens to exactly where I’m having issues and is able to give me exercises and stretches that aren’t overwhelming or time consuming (so I actual do them to get better…). She is always happy to also listen to other issues I’m having: correcting gym form, other problems not related to my sports injury, ect.and is able to work in things to also relieve those while still focusing on the main problems. Everyone at the Sports Clinic is super friendly and it’s a space that is always welcoming and judgement free. 10/10 highly recommend - they’ll make sure you are getting the best care for the problems you are having to make sure you walk away feeling better and with tools to help future problems from occurring.

I would highly recommend this clinic, I recently had a nagging knee injury that was holding me back from really getting into my running training as I wasn't able to increase my pace or distance without encountering some nagging injuries. I worked with Katie who really helped me address some muscular imbalances to help avoid some compensations I had built into my gait from various old soccer injuries.

After my current injuries were mostly addressed with Katie I did a running assessment with Caroline to help me fix potential issues with my form to avoid future injuries as I returned to my training. She noted that for the most part my form was good, however the suggestions she provided for improvements have already made significant improvements to how I feel when out running and I feel far more capable of increasing my mileage and pace without a corresponding increase in pain in my joints.

I would highly recommend both Katie and Caroline and although ideally I won't need to be visiting a physio in the future, if I do I'll be coming back to them.

I had a great experience with the downtown sports clinic. I highly recommend Michelle Szkwarek for any therapy. She is kind, diligent and professional. After a few sessions I was on the road to recovery with clear and measureable direction. I feel great thanks to Michelle.

Michelle Szkwarek is an exceptional physiotherapist at the Downtown Sports Clinic at Bow Valley Square. She is professional and knowledgeable. The pain in my left knee was so sharp, and it woke me during my sleep at night. After a couple treatments and exercise programs from Michelle, most of my knee pain had gone away. She is highly recommended!

Highly recommend Caroline Trajan. She is kind, very knowledgeable, and provides the information in a way that’s easy to understand. Have seen significant improvement with TMJ issues since meeting Caroline and appreciate all she has done to help me.

Highly recommended! My. PT and massage therapist were great. Great collaboration and energy from the team ️

Caroline Trajan has been a life saver. A few months ago I suffered a hip and back injury which prevented me from running. Caroline expertly worked with me to identify potential issues, and then assigned a combination of treatments including: at-home exercises, a recovery running program and dry needling to get me back on the track. She was also readily available between physio sessions via email to answer any questions that I had. After a few weeks I was back on my feet, and since then I’ve worked back up to training for my next race! I highly recommend Caroline’s services for all the runners who need to work through those annoying injuries which can knock us off our feet. Thanks Caroline!

Caroline was pivotal in getting me back on my feet and enjoying all of my favourite activities. She provided immediate relief for my SIJ pain & then worked with me to strengthen the muscles that support good SIJ functioning. Along the way she was able to identify other areas of weakness/imbalance/compensation & create a treatment plan to address those issues. She was great at checking-in in between sessions & was always extremely responsive to e-mails. Caroline is extremely knowledgable, personable & respectful of any boundaries/fears you may have (e.g, with needling) - she will work with you to find a treatment plan that is right for you!

I see Sarah Mecredy for physio at this location and she is phenomenal. I wouldn't go anywhere else (so long as she is working there!). Highly recommended if you're looking for a new physio. She is very thorough and good at explaining things so you can understand and visualize the issue (s).

5 STARS to Michelle S at The Downtown Sports Clinic! I had injuries to both thumb joints and a shoulder do to repetitive work - the injuries were to the point I couldn't even put a shirt on without using my other arm to lift the weak arm up. After working with Michelle both thumb joints and shoulder are functioning as they should! If you are in need of a top notch physiotherapist call Michelle!

I have had long term lower back issues which I was previously seeing a chiropractor for but when the pain started moving down my leg it just wasn't enough. I went to see Caroline Trajan for physiotherapy and am happy to say that thanks to her excellent care and recommendations I am now pain free and able to go about my day without giving a thought to these issues (as long as I keep up with the exercises and don't get too carried away LOL)! Thanks Caroline:)

I have been visiting this clinic for 5 years now, and I cannot be more thankful for all of the help on getting my health & body to optimum performance. I have tried all of the services they provide and I must say these have been all fantastic. I am not only in excellent shape now, but I have also learned how to stay healthy. I continue to come to the clinic, but mostly for maintenance which I strongly recommend on doing go forward. Thanks to all of the amazing staff that work in this clinic! Special thanks to Caroline, Sara, Selena!

Sarah Mecredy was very helpful and always listened to my concerns and adjusted my physio accordingly. I am sure I would not have been able to get to my former mobility without her help.

Being a Chef, I'm on my feet all day/night - It's been my career for 35 years. They make it possible for me to stay on my feet for career and business! Thank you to not only the great staff but especially to Siobhan Duggan & Lori Townsend!

Great clinic I went for physiotherapy with Kristen amazing knowledgeable, efficient, caring, receptionist also very friendly made you feel welcome, great location, would highly recommend this clinic and especially the physiotherapist Kristen, thank you for your care Chris Mabey.

If I ever have an issue I go see Lori and over the past 5 years I have sent my entire family. Lori takes the time to properly assess me, explain exactly what is happening and provide me with a treatment plan that has worked beyond my expectations every time. I only wish she would call me daily and nag me to do my exercises.

Everyone I have dealt with at this clinic is fantastic and professional from Lori in the back to Natasha at the front desk. I would, and regularly do, recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone.

Very professional, always have me back to 100% within 2 or 3 visits after having debilitating neck/back pain. Not only helps me get back on track but also offers exercises to keep me from having flare ups to begin with. I’d be lost without my physio!

I have been seeking physiotherapy treatment from the Downtown Sports Clinics, Bow Valley Square, for many years. From the minute I first contacted the office I received professional and friendly help. Each visit offers these same qualities in all reception and physiotherapy staff members. I have been treated by two or three therapists at the clinic and have received excellent care. Siobhan has been my main coach through various injuries and post surgery rehabilitation. I appreciate how she has been able to assess each situation with her expert knowledge and treatment techniques. She aids my recovery by giving me exercises that take into account the “uniqueness” of my body. Most recently I had hip replacement surgery and Siobhan gave me exercises pre surgery to help me keep as much strength in my leg as possible. Post surgery my surgeon was very impressed with my recovery and suggested this is due partly to my pre surgery routine.

Siobhan has kept my body moving and I am extremely grateful to her. I have experienced other physiotherapists at different clinics but, to me, non compares with Siobhan’s expertise and the treatment protocols of the therapists at this clinic.

Other services that are offered through the clinic have been valuable to me, and “once stop shop” has been great. I have received orthotics through the Downtown Sports Clinics and knee brace advice and fitting.

I highly recommend the Downtown Sports Clinics. Val

I had a great experience at the Downtown Sports Clinic at Bow Valley Square. They resolved my back issue quickly and for the long term.

I started with Downtown Sports Clinics years ago after an ankle surgery left me on crutches for 7 months. Physiotherapist Julie got me off those crutches in 3 1/2 weeks with intense therapy. Years later when I had a serious neck issue, of course I went back to them. This time Physiotherapists Lori and Siobhan worked hard to get me healthy again. They truly care about their patients quality of life and work hard to ensure you have it. Thank you so much.

I have been a patient of THE Downtown Sports Clinics off and on for over 15 years, and I hold them in the highest regard. I have always received top notch care in a welcoming environment - whether at the front desk or providing patient care, the staff are knowledgeable and highly personable.

At the Bow Valley Square location, I have received a very high quality of care for some stubborn neck/back issues from Siobhan. Her invaluable experience, utilization of a range of techniques (including needles/acupuncture, manipulation) and desire to get me back to normal have always minimized the length of time I have needed to attend physiotherapy for a given ailment.

I also have seen Julie Moylan and at the Barclay Centre location for knee and foot issues. I always enjoy learning something new during an appointment with Julie, who is keen to share the latest research and knowledge relevant to my issue. Her knowledge and experience, combined with her encouragement, have helped me get better and stronger.

I can also recommend Luther, who works at both locations, for massage. He is very knowledgable and adapts his treatments according to what is needed on the day. Luther is professional and cares about his patients.

Julie also connected me with their on-site Pedorthist, Patrick. Although I did not need orthotics in the end, Patrick and Julie recommended an effective treatment and strengthening plan. Having multiple services at one location was very convenient for me. All in all, THE Downtown Sports Clinics are THE only place (s) I recommend for physiotherapy, massage and orthotics.

I have been going to the Downtown Sports Clinics for over twenty years - whenever I need to see a physiotherapist. I have a chronic back/neck issue from an injury years ago that has been successfully treated whenever it flares up. I truly think they provide exceptional service and care and I trust them 100% with my neck and back. They are committed to helping patients return to or stay active and are masters at diagnosing what is really going on. Recently, I needed to have my two teen daughters assessed and once again was completely satisfied with how they treated their injuries. Thanks Siobhan and Lori for extraordinary care and to Natasha for always finding a spot for me in the schedule. True professionals!

I have been going to THE Downtown Sports Clinic (Bow Valley) for 8+ years. As an engineer working downtown, it’s extremely accessible during the work day and I know I’m always in good hands.

The physio therapists (Siobhan, Lori, and Jennifer) have all helped me out! I’m impressed that they are up to date on new techniques - I’ve even had acupuncture as a treatment for my twisted ankle. They are all professional, and great at listening to address the specific issue. What I like the most is that they’re great at focusing on improving the issue, but also suggesting preventative maintenance and/or strengthening exercises so that the injury will not happen again.

Jennifer was especially helpful after my motor vehicle accident and assisted with all the paperwork to ensure I could focus on getting better. I also received massage therapy treatment at the same time. It was great to have the physio and massage therapists at one clinic who were both familiar with my situation. I currently see Michelle for massage therapy - she is punctual and always inquires how much pressure to apply. The admin staff are wonderful at accommodating my schedule when I call in for an appointment – thanks!

THE Downtown Sport Clinic is excellent, as they really care about their patients. The staff are personable, professional, and I would recommend them.

The clinic has far exceeded all of my expectations! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics over the years and have never continued with them.

The Clinic is so well organised and managed. The whole staff are friendly and treat the patients as if they are friends.
Siobhan Duggan has been there with me for over 4 years. Her professionalism, rapport with the staff and her real caring for all her patients is amazing! She is the main reason that i am finally healthy and in one piece!
Siobhan's quality of care, her supreme knowledge and the amount of time spent with me on each visit was incredible.
Siobhan Duggan will have me as patient for life! I look forward to my appointments with her. She has me wanting to do all my exercises and homework!

I cannot say enough great things about the whole Clinic.

Lori is an exceptional physio. She will figure out what's wrong with you, then fix you up toot sweet. I highly recommend this place.

I came into TDSC - BVS last August with an extreme case of sciatica in my left leg. I was on a wheel chair on my first visit. I am happy to say that after working with Caroline Trajan, physiotherapist, for about 3-4 months, I am able to walk straight and return to a normal exercising routine. She worked with me, listened to my concerns, educated me about the body along the way and gave meaningful exercises to alleviate the pain and get me back in shape. I never felt under pressure to keep visiting the clinic, in fact, she was more than aware that these treatments can be quite costly.

Thank you Caroline and TDSC for helping me recover from my sciatica and getting my life back.

Clinic full of very professional and knowledgeable staff who really take their time to completely satisfy needs of their patients. With complex procedures and practices I have been able to increase my range of motion without the feeling of pain. This has greatly improved my life like it once was. Big shout out to Natasha and Icah who always puts a smile on my face when I’m there. They really go above and beyond with their attitude and enthusiasm paired up with the right amount of people skills to keep me coming back. 5/5 would recommend

I have seen several of the physiotherapists and massage therapists at The Downtown Sports Clinic in Bow Valley Square, as well as at previous locations, over the past 33 years. They have treated me for a number of ailments related to running, skiing, motor vehicle accidents and general wearing out of old body parts. My experience has always been excellent, with a thorough assessment and then the development of a suitable rehabilitation plan. I have recommended their services to many friends, colleagues and family members, and all have had good success. Thank you to Lori and Michelle for keeping me active and to Natasha and Icah for their help at reception. Congratulations Julie and Siobhan, both of whom have treated me in the past, on your success!

This past 6 months I have been under the care of Siobhan Duggan at The Downtown Sports clinic. After 2 hip replacements and many years of extreme pain when walking I thought that this was going to be the norm for the rest of my days. Siobhan looked at my issues and took a step back to evaluate what the issues with me were. Worked with my personal trainer and designed a rehabilitation program that has brought me to a place today that I thought would never come. I have not felt this goods in the past 8 years. I cannot thank her enough for helping me to get here.
I highly recommend this clinic if you have pain and want resolution.

Both my daughter and I have seen Samara for a few things and she has been incredibly thorough with her analysis and treatment. We have both found her extremely helpful. She has led us in the right direction. I have and would recommend Samara.

I have always had great service here. Caroline T is an excellent physiotherapist and has put me back on track in a matter of weeks!

I have had nothing but positive experiences at the Downtown Sports Clinic, I have seen Lori Townsend at various times over the past 10 years for wrist injuries and most recently a back injury. Lori has helped me understand the physiology of my injuries as well as the steps to healing. I have personally recommended her to many friends and colleagues and all have been impressed by how she has been able to help, often for conditions that have been seemingly untreatable. She is really good at explaining things but most importantly she is a very effective physiotherapist.

I have been seeing Susan Tsang for almost two years to rehab from two MVAs and herniated disks. I have managed to avoid surgery and believe that Susan's care and attention has been a key factor in my recovery. Thank you for running a clinic that is always on time, and with such thoughtful practitioners.

I have been seeing Lori Townsend at the Downtown Sports Clinic for years. Lori is a consummate professional and a straight shooter. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about her patients. Thanks Lori.
