If you have any questions, concerns, or want to inquire about our virtual options please don't hesitate to reach out! See more

KEEP MOVING: We all felt a huge sense of relief this afternoon as our staff members listened closely to Jason Kenney release his new restrictions to help combat the spread of COVID-19. These restrictions allow small business like ourselves to continue to operate and navigate such difficult times as best we can. That being said, we continue to stand with those who might struggle with these new measures and of course our frontline workers who have continued to work tirelessly... in efforts to keep us safe and healthy. We’ve got some ideas rolling out soon, but for now we can continue to train as we have in the past week with personal training and open gym appointments as well as continue with our physiotherapy and massage appointments. We continue this way all while strictly following COVID-19 protocols to keep you safe. So, Edmonton, let’s keep moving well and stay physically and mentally healthy as a community .

STAFF PROFILES: PETER Meet our newest physio, Pete! Pete recently moved back to Edmonton after practicing in the Okanagan since completing his Physiotherapy degree from the University of Alberta. Before Pete was a PT, he had obtained a MSc in Kinesiology from the University of Saskatchewan that specialized in neuromuscular physiology. He was also a part of the Track and Field team during his time there! ... His practice is focused mainly on sport and orthopaedic injuries, but also works with neurological conditions and paediatrics. Pete spends his time running, lifting, and spending time with his wife and their pets! Pete works at our Whitemud location every afternoon! Book in with him today through our website, or by giving us a call at 780-989-8802! #propel #propelsportsphysio #propelperformance #yeg #yegphysio #yegfitness #propelperformanceinstitute #ppicommunity #staffprofile #meetourteam #movement #movementiq #mobility #yegbusiness #functionalmovement #yegsmallbusiness

WE ARE STILL OPEN! Individual fitness is exempt from the new restrictions set forth by the Alberta government which means we can stay open to keep you healthy and lifting . This unfortunately means that we can’t run our group classes or have our teams in house, but we have decided to expand our open gym times to the same hours that we have previously run our group classes. This means you can follow a workout that we post for the day on your own, or do you own thing entirel...y! Our trainers will still be in the facility at these times and still be training clients one-on-one or tandem (two-on-one). These open gym times are at a reduced cost to our group class rates and will still be limited to ensure proper distancing in the gym. DM us if you have any questions about our open gym times and feel free to book online through our website or our Mindbody app (through appointments- Open Gym).

BACK PAIN Lumbar traction is a technique that stretches the vertebrae and musculature vertically. In the photos, Shelley, is using the belt to pull against the patient’s legs and this actually creates a pull on the spine causing vertebral separation. Vertebral separation is necessary to achieve a decompression effect that helps to treat conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, facet problems, acute low back pain, and many othe...r back problems. If you’re experiencing back pain, book an appointment with one of our amazing physiotherapists today, and they will be happy to help you!

SHOULDER MOBILITY Do you suffer from shoulder pain? This may be caused from the lack of mobility in your shoulder joint! In the photos, our physio Lewis, is preforming a technique called posterior-inferior joint mobilization. This treatment helps establish joint mobility to maximize joint mechanics and function! ... All of our physiotherapists can perform this technique in addition to other treatments to help give your shoulders relief!

HOLIDAY MONDAY: We hope everyone has an exciting and safe long weekend this weekend! Both of our physio locations will be closed on Monday, with regular hours resuming on Tuesday from 7AM-7PM. ... Our massage therapy student Shannon still has availability for tomorrow, however, at 20% off! (This appointment cannot be billed through extended health coverage). Online booking is available through our website! Click the following link to book your next appointment with us! https://propelsportsphysio.janeapp.com/

HAPPY CANADA DAY! From all of us at Propel Sports Physical Therapy, we hope you are celebrating with some fun and socially distanced activities! We could not be happier to have been able to get back to work this last little while and keep you moving well and pain-free. ... See you tomorrow! See more
