Calgary Physiotherapy with MSK rehab

If you've been to physiotherapy before and felt like you were moving through a system designed for volume rather than you — you're not imagining it. MSKrehab was built as a direct response to that.

Located at 8989 MacLeod Trail SW in Calgary's south, MSKrehab is a specialist physiotherapy clinic focused on patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, and motor vehicle accident rehabilitation. Every patient is assessed and treated by Colin Bouma, a physiotherapist with a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT) designation — the highest post-graduate clinical training available in orthopaedic physiotherapy in Canada.

What that means for you: The FCAMPT designation requires years of post-graduate training beyond what a standard physiotherapy degree requires. It qualifies Colin to assess and treat spinal and joint conditions at a level of clinical precision most physiotherapy clinics in Calgary simply don't offer. Combined with Gunn IMS dry needling certification and McGill Method training for low back pain, MSKrehab provides a level of specialist assessment usually reserved for referral-based settings — without the wait.

What to expect at MSKrehab: Your first appointment is a full assessment. We don't start treatment until we understand exactly what's driving your symptoms. That means a thorough history, hands-on examination, and a clear clinical explanation of what we found and what we're going to do about it. You will not leave your first appointment without a plan.

MSKrehab operates on a care coordination model — we work alongside your referring physician or GP, communicate findings, and flag anything that requires further investigation or specialist input. If you need imaging, we can facilitate that. If you need a referral onward, we will tell you clearly and help you get there.
