Core Physio is my go to training partner. As I have worked to achieve my training goals over the past 15 years, Ian Goodwin has been there every step of the way supporting my success. Quick to identify the issue, address it and get me back on track with tips to stay healthy as I train. The staff at CORE are welcoming and efficient. Do you have goals? To walk, to run, to feel better? CORE is the most reliable effective partner you could pick. There’s a reason I haven’t strayed in since Ian’s early days over by the Calgary tower - I’m diagnosed, fixed and on my way with confidence!

I cannot say enough about Ian at Calgary Core Physiotherapy. I started seeing him about 7 years ago at the recommendation of a friend, and have been coming back ever since (not for the same issues). I have multiple injuries from being a varsity wrestle and so far there hasn’t been one that Ian cannot help me with. But he goes beyond just helping you feel better he gets you to where you want to be, he helps you reach your goals. Ian was able to help me run a half marathon, has helped me compete in the crossfit open and helps me with chronic injuries. His bed side manner is amazing, friendly, humours

I have been a client of Elliott's at Calgary Core Physio for approximately 2 years now and I can not recommend him / the clinic enough.
I had seen about 3 physiotherapists before Elliott, and I always found the same thing... They would treat multiple patients at once- either leaving me sitting with a heat / ice pack on my injury, or having me do exercises alone.
This is not the case with Calgary Core Physio. First of all - the front desk employees are warm, welcoming and provide amazing customer service.
But most importantly, my physiotherapist – Elliott, spends the FULL appointment treating

I have been a patient of Ian’s since the clinic opened and cannot recommend him highly enough. He has kept me moving through running and gym injuries, rehabilitated a broken ankle from a car accident and more recently is helping with pain management and maintaining movement while I’m waiting for a hip replacement. His vast experience is an asset… when diagnosing the issue and recommending the best treatment plan. Everyone who works at Core Physiotherapy is professional, polite and works to make your visit enjoyable even during these difficult times. Thank you for keeping me moving

I would recommend this physio to anyone. The staff is super friendly, professional, and always on time. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and in a convenient location. I have been seeing Elliott Goldman off and on for a couple of years now. He made me feel super comfortable right away, as he’s super chatty and kind. He’s also extremely knowledgeable, and great at what he does. I highly recommend him!

CORE Physio staff are professional, courteous, and provide exemplary care. The clinic is impeccably clean and well organized. CORE Physio was recommended to me at a time when I could not perform my duties at work and could barely walk. Heather addressed the acute aspects of my injury including diagnosis, immediate treatment and future care plan. She was clear in her explanations and kind. Jonathan has provided my subsequent care. His expertise is truly impressive. Assigned exercises address the acuity level and are manageable and very helpful. I am grateful to have progressed to a point where I

I have been going to see Elliott Goldman for a recurring issue with my arm. I started seeing him after reading many positive reviews online. Unlike other physiotherapists who pop in and out, while you do exercises on your own or they leave you attached to a machine, every therapist at this clinic spends the full hour directly providing treatment. I appreciate the concentrated one-on-one attention that you are given and have recommended Elliott and this clinic to friends and family.

The knowledge of the practitioners and the administrative team is exemplary. Tim Lee brings more than his physiotherapist abilities and skills to his practice. He has a genuine commitment to his clients that is evident through his positive reinforcement of the mutual setting of goals. This team has accommodated the pandemic health protocols and restrictions, with ease and grace. The interactions at the clinic are fluid and friendly. Thank you Tim, Heather and your well-orchestrated team.

I have been coming here and seeing Ian Goodwin for a few years now.
I have been steadily going to physio since the age of 12 due to sports related injuries and my experience at Calgary Core Physio - in particular seeing Ian, has been the best.
I have come to him with a variety of sports injuries, pains from my desk job, and when I just hurt myself from being clumsy. He looks at the body as a whole rather than focusing on the body part that's injured- which is what all my past physiotherapist have done and resulted in minimal improvements. There's been points where I could hardly walk

While needing to go to physiotherapy isn’t always a great thing, I have found my experience nothing other than great. The personal approach along with the openness to try new things has been encouraging and has had some great results. Elliott has been fantastic to work with. I highly recommend Calgary Core.

I can’t speak highly enough about all the staff at Core Physiotherapy! From the minute you walk in everyone is very friendly and helpful. I am very pleased with the results that I am getting with my treatment sessions with Elliott. He was very thorough with his diagnosis and has developed a plan to treat the root of the problem not just the symptoms. During my appointments I am getting my therapists undivided attention, as I am his only patient during that appointment time. I feel that this has made a big difference in my healing process.

All the staff are warm, friendly and very efficient. They always remember our names and appointments are always on time. My 14 year old daughter actually looks forward to her appointments with Elliott as he is very personable and he engages her in conversation. Elliott has helped her deal with and recover from knee and Lower back pains and she has been able to continue playing competitive soccer.
