A physiotherapist assessing a patient's shoulders and posture at the start of an appointment

Northwest Edmonton, since 1987

Assessment first. Treatment second.

Treatment begins with a thorough one-on-one assessment, not a rushed appointment shared across a busy floor. Your physiotherapist takes the time to understand what is going on, then builds the plan around it.

Why people come here

Assessment-led care, from your first visit to your last

Patients arrive at Coronation having already tried physiotherapy somewhere else. Often the treatment was reasonable. What was missing was a clear answer about what was driving the pain, so the plan never quite fit.

We spend the first appointment on assessment. History, movement testing, strength and control, and the specific tests that separate one cause from another. You leave knowing what we found and what we intend to do about it.

That is also why you stay with one physiotherapist. The person who assessed you is the person who treats you, so nothing gets lost in a handover.

How it goes

Three steps, and you know where you stand after the first one

1

A full assessment

Sixty minutes with a registered physiotherapist. History, movement and strength testing, and the specific tests that tell one cause from another. We explain what we find in plain language.

2

A plan you agree to

You get the working diagnosis, what we expect recovery to look like, and how long it should take. Treatment starts once you understand the plan, not before.

3

Treatment and progression

Hands-on treatment, the equipment your condition actually calls for, and exercise that gets harder as you improve. We reassess as we go and change the plan when the evidence says to.

The clinic

A rehabilitation facility, not a treatment cubicle

Recovery needs room. Coronation runs a 3,400 square foot facility in northwest Edmonton with private assessment rooms, a dedicated massage and acupuncture room, and a full rehabilitation gym with cardio and strength equipment.

That matters because the last third of rehabilitation is load. You cannot test whether a knee is ready to return to sport in a two-metre bay, and you cannot progress a shoulder without something to push against.

Free parking sits at the front and the back of the building, and the entrance is at street level.

Straight answers

Questions patients ask us

Do I need a doctor referral to book physiotherapy?

No. You can book a physiotherapy assessment directly in Alberta. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your own policy before your first visit.

Do you bill my insurance directly?

Yes. We direct bill most major extended health insurers, along with motor vehicle accident claims and WCB claims where coverage is approved. We confirm what is covered before treatment starts.

What happens at a first appointment?

Your first visit is a full assessment with a registered physiotherapist, not a quick intake. We take your history, test movement and strength, explain what we find, and agree a plan with you before any treatment begins.

Will I see the same physiotherapist each visit?

Yes. You work with the same registered physiotherapist from assessment through to discharge, so nobody has to re-learn your case and the plan stays consistent.

Where are you and is there parking?

We are at 14315 118 Ave NW, Unit 142 in northwest Edmonton, with free parking at the front and the back of the building.

What are your hours?

Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
