It is a physician’s initial role to diagnose and classify back pain as acute (not caused by a serious medical condition and lasts shorter than one month) or chronic (persistent back pain). Generally, there are four types of back pain: sinister, inflammatory, neurogenic and mechanical. Most cases of chronic back pain are mechanical – painRead More…

Had physio for a knee replacement. All the exercises that were introduced to help for recovery worked very well. Kris has very good knowledge of the physio that was needed and seemed genuinely concerned about recovery.Thanks Nose Creek.

I went for physiotherapy after having knee surgery for a meniscus tear and fold on my left knee. I saw The physiotherapist Blair who we did a combination of in person and online appointments. He is very positive and gives you the tools to help you progressively get better. If you do the exercises you will see the results. My legs are actually stronger now than before my accident. I would highly recommend Blair and Nosecreek Physiotherapy.

This is the best place in Calgary for physio. I recently broke my ankle, and Kris Radke has been helping me recover. He is knowledgable and explains the reasons for your exercises. He is also patient when teaching you how to do them. Since I broke my ankle, I have been to the clinic, but I have also had video sesssions for treatment. These video sessions are excellent. There are no distractions, and you can really focus on the exercises. Kris is able to see what you are doing as well as demonstrate. What I love about the video session, is that you do not have to leave the comfort of your home to get the treatment you need.

I enjoyed my physiotherapy at Nose Creek Physiotherapy. The exercises and schedule presented to me were comprehensive, and effective in their treatment. Blair has a very calm, professional, yet friendly manner that assists in achieving the required corrective result. I will definitely return should I require more treatment.

I've been going to Nose Creek off and on for a number of years. The front desk staff are always helpful and pleasant when I come in. I've had a number of physio staff over the years and they have all been very professional yet personable and helpful in getting me back on my feet. Christine and Ali are amazing as is Blair for physio and Katie is exceptional with her massage! I come out feeling totally relaxed and more mobile after. I have recommended her to several friends (some of whom have booked with her and found her just as helpful as I have). DEFINITELY recommend Nose Creek.

Katie and grace have been my therapists at Nose Creek. These girls are both a pleasure to work with and I always leave the clinic more relaxed and with less tense muscles. I recommend these girls to anyone who is searching for someone who is passionate and amazing at their job. Thank you Katie and Grace.Ali Bik

Katie is my physiotherapist at Nose Creek. she is one of the kindest and most skilled therapist. She gives amazing massages and ensures that I feel comfortable throughout the whole time that she works on me. I highly recommend Katie to anyone who is in need of or in search of a great therapist. I also highly recommend Grace who I had the pleasure of working with a couple time. Great girls at Nose Creek.

I've been going to NCP and find the staff very friendly. Katie's massages have helped me tremendously! Several years ago my 2 kids came to NCP for physio many times and the physio therapists were very helpful with treating their sports injuries. Thank you NCP!

I have been to NCP several times for treatment of my shoulder pain and it really helped a lot! I also go there for massages. Katie is my therapist and I have been very satisfied. Last but not the least, the client care team in front are very warm, accommodating and efficient especially in setting up follow up schedules and sending reminders on upcoming appointments.

Grace excels at diagnostics and resolving the problem. I have been helped through a few injuries over the years and highly recommend her care.

I have been with NCP for over two years now right after I required therapy for rotator cuff surgery. I received great care by Grace and was treated very well by all staff members. I have been back for different aches and pains and always come out feeling much better and given a regimen of exercise to help with my healing. My most recent visit was with Kris for new orthotics using 3d imaging for defining the inserts. Great customer service and everyone adheres to the new Covid19 guidelines. Thanks all.

I have been to Nose Creek Physiotherapy for three different injuries and have had great results. Once for an Achilles surgery rehab, an wrist injury rehab, and recently for lower back pain. Blair and his team are very knowledgeable and not only treat the immediate problem, but provide exercises and stretches to maintain and provide preventative treatment. As a bookkeeper I sit for long periods which is a problem for my back pain. Blair was able to provide me with measures to help prevent the problem from recurring and ways to relieve the pain if there are any flare ups. I would recommend Nose Creek Physiotherapy

Carly is my physiotherapist at Nose Creek Physio and I highly recommend her, she is awesome! I went searching for a physiotherapist to help with my lower back pain caused by Degenerative Disc Disease/Osteoarthritis and feel lucky I found such a knowledgeable, easy going, friendly and adaptable physiotherapist for my treatment. The stretches, exercises and information provided have all been very helpful. Carly and the other staff are all professional and make you feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you and I look forward to my future appointments. Melanie

I've been made to feel very welcome and I could not have asked for better care. I would highly recommend Nose Creek esp Kris to any one who asks me. Staff are very pleasant and very accommodating. I'm not quite done with the recommended sessions but Kris has made significant relief from my shoulder pain. Very effective exercises and treatment so far. Im slowly getting back to play volleyball!. Thank you!

I highly recommend Kris Radke and his virtual physio sessions. My sore neck and upper shoulder pains were significantly reduced (no more pain) in just a few weeks with the exercises he gave me to work on. He monitored my progress consistently and cared about whether I improved on a weekly basis.Thank you for all your help Kris!

Blair and his team are top notch, first rate health professionals that can be trusted to guide you to recover to ‘better than before”. I have had two separate major shoulder surgeries on my right and left shoulders as a result of sports injuries. My shoulder pain is completely gone and has never returned. Over the years, I have referred many friends to Nose Creek Physiotherapy. I highly recommend them.

We had a video consult because of the times and I must say Kris was truly helpful. He took the time to understand the root of the issue and came up with a plan to find a solution.

I first went to see Blair after our first daughter was born.I was having trouble with my hips/ back after pregnancy. 23 years later... If I pull, strain, tweet or injure anything to do with muscles, nerves. Nose creek is the first number I call for help. Blair and his team have helped with headaches, neck cricks, posture, hips, knees, ankles, arms.... I much prefer the Physio treatments, strength building and future prevention strategies. Usually a few laughs during treatment. I love the educational emails that I chose to receive. My girls, now 23 and 17, ask to go see Blair and team for treatments when they injure/ sprain/ strain anything.They can usually see you pretty quickly. They direct bill our insurance so we only pay the balance remaining.If I have limited insurance left for the year, I mention that and they pace the treatment accordingly. I’ve got 4 covered visits to help fix me up! Okay! Super friendly happy positive staff. Trust Blair Completely. Listens to you during treatment... if you’re not comfortable, etc, Offer many types of treatments. Our definite go- to place. Recommend them whenever I can!!

I have been seeing Grace at Nose Creek Physio for approximately 3 years. In my opinion she is an outstanding physiotherapist. After surgery to reattach my tendon to my knee cap, she worked with me to ensure constant improvement. She is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to communicate with.In addition to her treatments at the clinic, she routinely gave me a series of additional exercises to do at home. Each set of exercises was more demanding, yet appropriate for my level of recovery, and I eventually exceeded the predicted best case recovery by 10%.The facility is well equipped and always clean and tidy. Everyone who works at the clinic is a pleasure to interact with and each visit is a great experience.

I'm a Senior who had couple of joint surgeries, so I decided to have a therapeutic massage with Melissa. After 2 visits I felt better than I did in the past 2 years. She knows just where to apply her hands and relieves the pain and relaxes the muscles. I have seen a Chiropractic, physiotherapy and acupuncture help with some relief, but the massage is more helpful than any of the others. I am on my 3rd visit and now can't wait until next visit. She is also more knowledgable on sports and current events than most people I know.

Paul is wonderful! He’s very educated and professional, and always makes me feel comfortable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. If you’re looking for a great massage therapist look no further.

I went to Nose Creek Physiotherapy to get my shoulder treated from a injury sustained from volleyball. I heard great things about Kris Radke from friends and family that were previous patient’s of his. Kris was friendly, patient, extremely helpful, and works his hardest to help patients recover and get them back to 100%. He always listens and provides the best solutions for patients needs. I was able to recover to 90% within a couple weeks and Kris made it a seamless transition. I plan to continue with the exercises provided to get me back to complete 100%.The staff are friendly and willing to make you feel comfortable and at home. They help create an enjoyable environment for you to feel secure and create a judge free zone.I would highly recommend Kris Radke if you were planning to get treatment done at Nose Creek Sport Physiotherapy.

Very happy with this clinic. I came needing help with my tennis elbow and pain in my shoulder. Treatment AND exercise / stretching has resulted in SIGNIFICANT (probably 80%) improvement. I expect to continue the exercise / stretching as part of my regular routine (approx. 40 mins 4-5 times per week) and hope the symptoms will continue to decline. I've learning that receiving treatment is only part of the process ... it's really important to put in the effort to do the exercise / stretching.The therapist and staff at this clinic are top notch. If I ever need further help, I will return to this clinic. Highly recommend them.I am a retired accountant and I have been able to resume my normal activities with very little, if any, pain.

I had used the services of Nose Creek a few times now for injuries to my achilles tendon and recently a broken ankle and in both cases the service and support were great. The staff are all very friendly and professional and the advice on exercises was instrumental in getting past the disabled feeling quickly. Thanks to Carly for her great work recently. I would highly recommend this clinic and its staff and will return if future injuries occur.

Hands down, the only place I trust for my physiotherapy needs. Blair and the team helped me recover from two back to back car accidents, the second of which had me needing about 5 months of therapy. However, Blair was incredibly experienced and helped me get back to the activities I was enjoying before my accidents. Paul was also an amazing massage therapist and was able to show me techniques that helped make the stubborn pain go disappear. If I could give them 6 stars I would. I highly recommend coming to nose creek physio if you need any treatment!
