• Client Testimonial •
“Niko at The Bridge brings physiotherapy to the next level with research-driven analysis, supported by practical approaches. Seriously, I’ve been to a lot of physiotherapists over the years for high-impact and endurance sports that led to injury, surgery, physio, repeat. Niko and The Bridge have set the bar.” - James

Today was the last day of work at The Bridge as a Massage Therapist for Keaton Craig.

Keaton has been with us since we opened nearly 5 years ago. He is a true OG! He has been in the massage profession for nearly 10 years total.

He has been an integral part of the growth at The Bridge of the clinic over the last 5 years. Anyone who knows Keaton knows that he is great with his hands, but what stood out to us and all his patients was how compassionate, caring, and collaborative he has been. He has always been passionate to make sure all his patients get the best experience possible when they come to The Bridge.

Keaton has been such a strong cultural piece for our clinic. He embraced our core values and mission. He took some hard physiological challenges for our team at countless mountain trail races over the years. We can truly say from start to finish this guy has left The Bridge in a better place.🏔️🏅

Keaton will continue to offer personal training at The Bridge on a limited basis. Outside of that he looks forward to a new career and adventure going forward. We wish him all the best and we cannot thank him enough!😊

Shoutout to two of our young standout athletes at The Bridge YQL, star sisters of the gridiron, Alaxis and Taya.

Both girls were selected to their Female Football Alberta squads (Alaxis for U18 and Taya for U16) and Taya’s U16 Alberta team also beat British Columbia in the Battle of the Rockies.

Proud of their quiet work paying off in some big moments!

Her active treatment style focuses on exercise and education, helping patients move past their pain and achieve their goals.
