Physiotherapy Services in Alberta
Book Appointment
Our physiotherapists are movement experts. Our highly-trained team uses a variety of techniques to help your muscles, joints, heart, and lungs work to their full potential. We work with individuals of all ages to break down barriers impeding physical function.
Physiotherapy is the science of movement and can be performed to pinpoint an injury’s root causes. If you have experienced an injury that has made everyday activities difficult, physiotherapy may be an excellent, drug-free option to help you work through associated pain and stiffness.
The Consultation
When you visit Optimum Wellness Centres for a consultation, you will be met with friendly staff to check and make sure that all of your required information is on file. We will then have a no-obligation conversation about why you seek treatment and what you want to get out of it.
Your health history and lifestyle will then be discussed to pinpoint the underlying cause for your pain or discomfort.
Assessment & Treatment Plan
After the consultation, your physiotherapist will accurately assess and diagnose your condition using a range of physical tests. These tests involve various exercises that evaluate your range of motion and flexibility.
After the tests are complete, your physiotherapist will explore your current abilities and needs to establish a diagnosis.
Treatment Options & Plans
Your treatment plan will consist of specialized exercises that help increase your movement and mobility. Through hands-on treatment and a personalized approach, your physiotherapist will help you move and keep you moving. Your therapist will provide you with the necessary exercise education to continue your treatment plan beyond your scheduled appointments.
We understand that life can be complicated and you may not always have the time or ability to visit any of our locations. That is why we offer telehealth options.

Testimonials
I was referred by a friend to Jency Henry Physiotherapist at Macleod trail Optimum for my back pain. She is amazing, she knows what she is doing. She was explaining during the assessment and treatment session about what are my issues and what needs to be treated or taken care. I was very satisfied about her approach in treating my pain. I came to understand about my body better like my weakness and tightness. I feel very light as if most of my weight has been off from my back after my session.

Just have to thank Dr. Nina!!! The chiropractic care I receive is outstanding and with such precision and creativity! I have an autoimmune condition called Scleroderma which causes extreme mis-alignment and muscle/joint pain. After an adjustment I feel amazing and helps me to cope with the symtoms so I don’t have to take pharmaceuticals that often. Also, I notice my low blood pressure is back to normal since I have been seeing Dr. Nina. I am so relieved I can start up my adjustments again. I have referred my nieces, my sister, and my friend and they all are of the same opinion!! Dr. Nina is my Chiropractor for life!!!

I highly recommend Nicole, I had my first massage with her today and it was very relaxing and took a lot of the stress out of my body from the last few months. I felt very comfortable with Nicole, she is easy going, respectful and professional. It was just the perfect combination of touch and light conversation at the right time. I will most definitely be going back to Nicole in the future.

Made the mistake of going to another provider based on them open on Saturday, what a mistake. Minimal relieve and care. I returned to Dr. Jamie Mulholland in Airdrie and what a difference. Hips line up, pain on standing gone, not hunched over due to lower and upper back pain, headaches relieve in the first visit back to Dr. Jamie. Won’t venture away again.

Realiza of Sunridge location is highly recommended for her massage skills. She takes time to understand client’s concern and offers an effective approach to address them.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jackie Fairbourn for over 8 years and I highly recommend her as an amazingly gifted healing facilitator. She continues to impress me with her openness to adding gentle healing approaches to her extensive chiropractic skill set. Lately I have particularly enjoyed the tension-relieving benefits resulting from receiving Body Code, Emotional Code and now, Network Care. I appreciate her calm, informed and intuitive healing support.
