Rehabilitation Center in Calgary
Rehabilitation can be the most important part of a patient’s recovery. Strengthening weakened or dysfunctional areas can help prevent a return of symptoms, or get patients back to their regular activities of daily living faster. At Encompass, we have one of the best rehabilitation facilities in Calgary.
What's Involved in Rehabilitation?
Exercise rehabilitation involves progressive and structured physical activity. It helps patients regain strength, movement, and function. A kinesiologist designs a program that is safe and appropriate for each patient. The goal is to help the patient achieve fitness, attain their optimal level of function and reduce pain.
Colin Hillson (Bsc, R Kin, Certified Personal Trainer, CSEP-CPT) offers twenty minutes, one on one sessions to all of our patients. Based on the patient’s diagnosis and ability, Colin creates a personalized exercise prescription and then goes over the exercises to ensure that patient is performing the movements correctly. Repeated sessions are encouraged when necessary.

Reviews
"I have been in physiotherapy for most of my life for various issues this is hands down the best place I have ever gone to. Gaurangi is absolutely amazing.
Other places I have gone have been like this; I walk in talk to a phyisotherapist assistant they hand me a print out of exercises and stretches I spend 45 mins doing that with very little supervision or corrections then on to the TENS machine for the last 15 mins. With Gaurangi it is hands on, one on one the whole time. That it what a physiotherapy session should look like. Thanks to all the staff that make this a great place to heal and get stronger."

"This place has the most amazing service. We lived next to them 3 years ago when we got into a car accident. Our recovery was made so much faster and easier with all of their services. I would highly recommend Mike and his whole team. Since we started going here we have moved an hour away and still will make the trip to Encompass Sports Therapy for all of our needs."

Kinesiology is the study of muscles, their attachments, and how they move the skeleton with respect to gravity. Because it studies movement, kinesiology is particularly useful in rehabilitation. A kinesiologist recommends exercises for orthopedic injuries and discusses programs that help to restore muscle tone, increase bone density and reduce muscular atrophy.
