I’ve been seeing Kristel for a while now, and I can honestly say she has made a huge difference in my recovery and overall well-being. She’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and take the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. The treatment plans are always personalized and effective, and I’ve seen real progress. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled physiotherapist! Less

I'm currently 6 months into Post-op ACL rehabilitation with Joey Silva and I have nothing but good things to say! Joey has been phenomenal in personalizing my recovery plan and keeping me accountable throughout the process! I'm happy to say that thanks to ORKA Performance, my rehab process is completely on track and progressing faster than the surgeon thought! Joey has been absolutely instrumental in that process, and I could not be where I am without him, and Brendan. If you have any type of rehabilitation needs, from sports, to work related injuries, I can say with confidence that they can deliver results if you put the work in. It's an amazing facility with all the newest technology to help you recover faster. Top-tier service from people, to location, to equipment. Less

Successes in recovery from tendonopathy.TLDR:- I highly recommend ORKA Performance to others- When I sought their services, I was dealing with chronic Achilles tendonopathy.- ORKA was recommended to me by my personal trainer, who they are helping to recover from an MCL tear.- I’ve now returned to sport without pain or minute restrictions.Context:I suffered from chronic Achilles tendonopathy when I started working with Brendan DeForge in Edmonton/Sherwood Park. ORKA’s staff are friendly, professional, and provide a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.I’m middle aged and my Achilles had deteriorated to the point that I’d begun to consider hanging up my sneakers. I would limp for a week after a game and my issues were trending in the wrong direction. I could manage day to day but I would re-injure myself every time I engaged in an activity that required acceleration/deceleration.I had soreness every morning and both my Achilles were restricting my activity. I’d had only limited and short-lived success managing my tendonopathy via self- and personal trainer-directed programs. My trainer then recommended ORKA, who were helping them recover from a torn MCL at the time.ORKA helped me to achieve significant recovery from my Achilles issues. I’m now playing basketball pain free and confident in my recovery and durability.My issues were diagnosed and monitored using force plates and other targeted, objective measures. These were used to set clear goals for my progress and design a program to achieve them. This program was continually reassessed and revised to optimize my progress.For example, halfway through my Achilles recovery I strained both quad tendons. This injury had nothing to do with ORKA or the programs they provided me. But, they are now guiding my simultaneous recovery from multiple injuries.Brendan was able to design a customized and measurement-informed program that has led to positive results in recovery from multiple injuries while also accommodating the demands of regular strength training and a basketball schedule.I went from almost giving up my sport to improving my performance and expecting to remain playing for many years to come. My experience with ORKA has been very positive. I would highly recommend the Edmonton/Sherwood Park location to anyone seeking professional assistance in returning to sport after an injury. While second hand info, my personal trainer also conveys positive experiences with the Calgary location as well.Thank you to Brendan and ORKA for helping me to recover from my tendon issues! Less

I did my post ankle surgery rehab with Joey Silva and he was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He personalized everything towards my needs and he also explains every exercise and its benefits in great detail. Joey also incorporates the use of technology and he’s really great at interpreting the test numbers into ways that make sense for my sports performance. The facility is also really modern and has all the equipment you need. If you need a personable and knowledgeable physiotherapist, I would definitely recommend booking with Joey Silva. Less
