Performance-Driven Care, Made For You

For driven individuals who refuse to settle – whether you’re overcoming an injury, optimizing performance, or simply striving to move and feel better – we provide expert care that adapts to you.

What works for one person doesn’t work for another

You’ve been given rigid frameworks that don’t account for your unique needs – treatments that feel one-size-fits-all, leaving you stuck, frustrated, and unheard.

But feeling like you’re “too complicated” or beyond help is just plain wrong – progress is always possible when care adapts to you and curiosity drives the solution.

Last fall, I was diagnosed with severe degenerative changes at L2-3, including a 9mm right lateral listhesis of L2 on L3, severe disc height loss, and osteophytosis. I felt hopeless. The pain was debilitating and began to take over my life. After a series of failed injections, surgery became my only option.

Then I found Carla.

Over the past few months, I’ve been working with her to strengthen my back and body in preparation for surgery. For the first time in years, I’ve been able to work out and build strength without pain. My trust in Carla is absolute. She has not only guided me physically but has also given me something I hadn’t felt in a long time: hope.

On July 28, I will undergo L2-3 DLIF surgery (right-sided approach) with minimally invasive posterior pedicle screw fixation. I go into this surgery confident that the work I’ve done with Carla has set me up for the best possible outcome.

I look forward to continuing our work together in recovery. I know with complete certainty that under her guidance, I’ll come back stronger than ever.

Carla and Nick are a wealth of knowledge. They are always looking into the latest research and improving themselves.

As a practitioner myself, I have learned so much from them and have applied a lot of their practices to my own clients - leading to amazing results!

On a personal note, they have helped me overcome concussions and get back into working out more than once. My hips, shoulders, neck and lower back felt strong and I was no longer in constant pain! Plus they got me the back of my dreams for my wedding 😉 I also feel a lot more confident and equipped to make my own programming work for me.

Whether you are a professional or amateur athlete, a mom/dad, a business man/woman or a grandmother/father, they will make you feel your best and make sure you reach all of your goals! I HIGHLY recommend them!

I had seen multiple physiotherapists and clinics before, but nothing seemed to make a lasting difference — until I came here. Carla took the time to really understand what issue is and worked with to help me improve. Since starting treatment, I've noticed real improvement and finally feel like I'm on the right track.

If you’ve tried everything and still haven’t found relief, I highly recommend Carla.

Training with Vital has been a game changer. Carla is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful to all Vital clients. Doing triathlon training with Tara has allowed me to achieve things I never thought possible! Highly personalized programs that are well structured with tons of check ins with your coach to ensure everything is on track. Highly recommend!

Vital Performance Care is truly a special in the world of community health and wellness. Their approach is nothing short of revolutionary, blending a variety of practices into a space that genuinely cares.

As a coach, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with them professionally through their online training platform, which has been a game-changer for my own clients. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and trustworthy. The kind of professionals you feel confident sending anyone to.

On a personal level, my dad has done the Foot Foundations Program and it has literally changed his life. Prior to starting he was not able to comfortably walk, was in continuous pain & struggled for years mentally. Now since doing the program and putting in the work he is genuinely enjoying life and confident in his body’s ability to perform things he couldn’t do for years. It’s the best gift now that he is entering retirement.

Vital Performance Care isn’t just a place for rehab or fitness, it’s a vibrant community that empowers people at every stage. Can’t recommend them enough!

Carla and her team have been incredible to work with. They approach individual fitness goals with a wholistic and pragmatic program design, often breaking physiological issues down to their basic root causes and building back up from there. Communication, planning, goal setting and support to help individuals achieve their fitness goals are always top of mind with Vital.

I've personally worked with Carla for over 10 years through recovery from a cycling accident, to planning for larger cycling events and now working towards personal fitness goals of remaining active and pushing myself while also aging. She spreads this same approach to her team and sets a great example for her team.

I never thought I’d be someone who runs—let alone someone who runs a half marathon. I’ve lived with asthma most of my life, and running always felt out of reach. But with Chantelle’s expert coaching and support, I had a great plan, stayed motivated, and crossed the finish line feeling so strong and proud!

I’m a planner, so I needed more than just a training app—I needed someone I could ask questions and actually understand why I was doing certain things. Chantelle helped me do that and so much more.

Big thanks to Nick as well for kickstarting my strength training and helping me build the foundation I needed. And to the whole Vital team—thank you for keeping me moving and helping me get to race day.

If you’re working toward a big goal and feeling unsure where to start, Vital is 100% worth the investment. Their knowledge and experience are unparalleled. I’m so proud of what I accomplished, and I’m already excited to set my next goal!

This is so amazing Theresa! Can't believe you accomplished SO MUCH training after having no desire to just a year or so ago. Now it's a habit. Happy we could help! Maybe a marathon is next???

Tessa is a very experienced coach who adapts her training to the individual and their needs for maximum results. I can’t stop taking her classes since they have been so helpful to me!

Nicholas has guided me through a challenging rehabilitation period of 10 months which has seen me build strength and stability in my core and legs which has enabled me to sprint at speeds i have not seen since i was a teenager, and i am 61 years old now! thanks Nicholas and Carla!
Response from the owner 14:31 01 Aug 24
Thanks so much for submitting this Cecil so that more people can find out about how amazing of a track coach Tessa is! See you in the gym soon.

Visited with Dr. Mac Forde for a few weeks to address some ongoing elbow pain in both my arms from golf. He was excellent to deal with and had me pain free within a few weeks with some very simple / easy to follow exercises to prevent future issues. Will definitely see him for any eventual issues I run into.
Response from the owner 22:07 18 Jun 25
Thanks so much, Jonah. Mac is the best!
