 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff and front desk staff are all very polite and kind. I was treated here for concussion protocol and now being treated for a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder (both WCB claims), and I highly recommend this facility. Everyone is very knowledgeable and work with you for the best possible recovery outcome.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time going to physiotherapy, and I never expected it to be so effective. Thanks to Jantz Sawatsky, my recovery has been amazing. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. I never thought I would be able to feel ready to go back to work, but Jantz helped me regain my strength and confidence. I'm truly grateful for all his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent physiotherapist. Thank you, Jantz!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen two different physiotherapists at Craven in the past, and they've both been excellent! I also see Lakyn for massage and she's so kind, thorough and I always have a good experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I sadly didn't get the fellas name, but at the sask marathon today I had a medical event around km 41.5. After the paramedics released me some one in a craven shirt noticed I was not OK, came over to help me and probably spent a solid 20 minutes getting carbs and fluids back in me and supporting me while I attempted to get back walking. Just a stand up guy, I really appreciated it, and I wanted to say thanks. Hopefully this makes it to the right person!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The physio therapist was great but the front desk office administration is bad. They are friendly and seem generally annoyed when you arrive to be checked in for your appointment or call them. For that reason alone I will be going elsewhere.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently booked a running assessment here and will be going every few weeks to develop exercises to improve my form. My teacher is a complete geek for running and I'm learning a lot, very quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions - S&C

What is Strength & Conditioning?

Strength & Conditioning (S&C) focuses on improving overall fitness, strength, mobility, endurance, and performance — whether for sport, health, or daily life. At Craven SPORT Services, our programs are led by certified S&C Coaches who use evidence-based training methods to help clients move better, feel stronger, and build resilience through all stages of life.

Who is Strength & Conditioning for?

Our S&C programs are designed for everyone — from beginners wanting to build foundational strength to competitive athletes looking to enhance performance. We also work with youth, older adults, and individuals recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions. Each program is tailored to your current ability, goals, and movement needs.

How is your approach different from a regular gym or personal training program?

Craven SPORT Services offers a uniquely integrated approach. Our S&C Coaches work closely with our physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other clinicians to ensure safe, effective, and individualized training. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all workout plan, we focus on movement quality first, teaching proper technique and functional movement patterns that support lifelong health, performance, and injury prevention.

What can I expect at my first Intro pack session?

Your first session as part of our Intro Pack begins with a comprehensive movement and strength assessment. This allows your coach to understand your goals, movement patterns, and any limitations or previous injuries. From there, you’ll start learning foundational exercises and proper technique to build confidence and movement quality. The remainder of your Intro Pack sessions focus on developing your individualized training plan, which you can then carry forward into our Supervised Training program.

What happens after I complete my Intro Pack or initial sessions?

After your Intro Pack, you’ll transition into ongoing Supervised Training sessions. These allow you to continue progressing with the guidance of our coaches, who adjust your program regularly to match your development. Many clients stay in Supervised Training long-term as part of their ongoing fitness and health routine or transition to one-one-one training, small group training or another group training program like Fit 4 Life.

How often should I train?

As a guideline, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) recommends that adults perform muscle- and bone-strengthening activities at least two days per week, targeting the major muscle groups. Our Strength & Conditioning programs are designed specific to your goals, recovery needs, and schedule. Your coach will help determine the right frequency for you and adjust your plan over time as your strength and movement capacity improve.

Do I need to be an athlete to participate?

Not at all! While we work with many athletes, our S&C programs are designed for anyone who wants to move and feel better — regardless of experience or fitness level. Whether you’re returning to activity, starting a new fitness routine, or looking to maintain strength as you age, we’ll meet you where you’re at.

Can Strength & Conditioning help prevent or support injury recovery?

Yes. Our integrated model ensures that training complements your rehabilitation and long-term health goals. If you’re working with a physiotherapist or other clinician at Craven, your S&C Coach will communicate with them directly to ensure your program safely supports your recovery and reduces the risk of re-injury.
