At MOVE TO MOVE, physiotherapy is about more than settling an injury — it’s about getting you moving well again and keeping you there. Our Calgary physiotherapy clinic pairs a rehabilitation clinic with a full movement studio, so your care doesn’t stop at pain relief; it carries through to strength, mobility, and getting back to the activities you care about. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend adventurer, or you just want to move through your day without pain, our registered physiotherapists build treatment around your goals and how your body actually moves.
Every session is one-on-one with your physiotherapist for a full 30 to 60 minutes. You’re never handed off to an aide or parked on a machine — that time is what lets us find what’s really driving your problem and treat it properly.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is a thorough, hands-on assessment. Your physiotherapist reviews your history and goals, examines your movement and strength to pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms, and in most cases begins treatment the same visit. You’ll leave with a clear plan and, where it helps, a home program you can realistically stick to. In Alberta you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist, so you can book directly.

Our therapists then employ a host of evidence-based techniques, here are some of the strategies you can expect:
Manual Therapy
We use manual techniques such as soft tissue release and joint mobilizations to decrease tension and restore joint movement.
IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation), Acupuncture And Dry Needling
We use acupuncture needles to relax tight muscles and stimulate the healing of hypersensitive nerves. These modalities help stimulate the release of the body’s own natural painkillers.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM refers to the use of instruments that allow the therapist to treat increased muscular tension, and break down scar tissue and adhesions. The therapist uses IASTM to provide pain relief and decrease dysfunction caused by these issues.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive approach that accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility.

Do Physiotherapy Treatments Hurt?
Physiotherapy is meant to alleviate pain rather than exacerbate it. However, your pain levels may fluctuate. Our therapists will clearly define what “normal” pain is and what is not normal. Some situations require exercises or other therapeutic actions that may elicit a pain response to facilitate improvements in your overall condition.
As a result of using weakened or recuperating muscles, you may suffer some momentary discomfort. Or for some, restoring the range of motion after surgery can be painful due to the nature of the condition. Unfortunately, it may be critical to your recovery to experience a temporary increase in your pain.
Although it may sound inappropriate, there are times when the increased pain early on can prevent more severe pain in the future.
Rest assured that we will do whatever we can to minimize your pain and avoid increasing it during your time in physiotherapy. Communication with our therapist will help to reduce any discomfort you may feel during your physiotherapy treatments.
We want you to be pain-free and return to normal activities as soon as possible. We will do what we can to prepare you for any discomfort you may experience.
How Is My Treatment Progress Tracked?
You should see a noticeable improvement in your discomfort and overall function as you go through your rehabilitation activities.
An effective way to measure your improvement and progress is to keep track of your pain, mobility, and functional abilities. Tracking your impairments and functional abilities gives our therapists objective information to compare with initial measurements. In addition, your personal reports and experiences help to validate your improvements and clue your therapist to regressions and/or lack of progress.
The bottom line is that you should notice improvements in how you feel and function throughout therapy. If you are not following an anticipated path of progress, your therapist will reassess the situation. Based on the results of this reassessment, your therapists will recommend further testing or a change in approach to your treatments.
Do You Treat My Condition at Your Clinic?
Physiotherapists are trained to treat all types of musculoskeletal conditions. Most physiotherapy clinics are geared towards specific subcategories of physiotherapy.
You can be confident that our well-trained therapists will assess and treat your condition. For example, pediatric physiotherapists often work exclusively with younger patients. Orthopedic outpatient physiotherapists will work with all age categories and conditions.
If we feel another therapist or healthcare provider would better serve you, we’ll suggest people we know and trust.
Our physiotherapists have received extensive education in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology (the study of joint movement), neurology, and many other medical sciences. Our physiotherapists are all state-licensed and have graduated from accredited physiotherapy programs.
You can rest assured that you are in capable hands!
When Will I Start to Feel Better?
Because each patient’s diagnosis is unique, our therapist will work with you and any other medical or healthcare practitioner to ensure you get the best possible results.
Our goal is to identify all the factors contributing to your condition. We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and thorough history to gather this information and then design a treatment plan for you.
For some people, relief is felt on day one; for others, there is a journey to relief filled with ups and downs. It is easier to know who you will be once we meet with you and examine your situation.
Our team is highly trained and skilled at treating musculoskeletal pain and injuries. We will provide guidelines to help you understand your condition and what to expect from therapy. These guidelines will include the likely duration of your situation and expected progress broken down into realistic timetables.
Our team is here to support you and answer your questions throughout the process!
Can I Continue Seeing a Therapist Even When I Feel Better?
Absolutely!
Once you have finished your therapy sessions, you can continue to see your physiotherapist. There are several different ways to do this, for example:
- Your therapist will see you review and progress your at-home therapy program.
- You can schedule a re-evaluation after a month to ensure you are still doing well and modify your home program as needed.
- You can arrange to see your therapist regularly (i.e., every six months) for a consultation to assess your progress, ensure you are not regressing, and deal with anything new that may have started.
