Individualized manual therapy
At our downtown Calgary clinic, we help high-performers stay at the top of their game with manual therapy and quality care.
Care that evolves with you
No cookie-cutter plans
results-focused care
You’ve tried other treatment options and it hasn’t worked
It’s not like you haven’t tried fixing the problem. You’ve sought out other professionals, online advice and done your best to follow the plan - but it’s just not working and you need to switch gears.
Here are some of the common challenges we help you overcome:
Your treatment didn’t adapt to you leaving you feeling stuck and unheard.
No one has been able to “figure you out”. You’re not seeing progress and instead feel too complex.
Nothing seems to work long-term. You found some short term relief or improvement but the results never last.
You felt like just another appointment. Your sessions felt transactional instead of collaborative.

I can’t recommend Rachel Solecki at Vital Performance in Calgary highly enough.
From day one, Rachel has been thorough, attentive, and genuinely invested in my recovery. She takes the time to fully assess what’s going on, explains the reasoning behind each exercise or treatment approach, and makes sure I understand the progression plan. I never feel rushed, and every session feels purposeful.
What really stands out is her attention to detail and her ability to balance pushing progress while still respecting healing timelines. She adapts treatment based on how I’m responding and ensures I’m building strength safely and correctly.
If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about long-term outcomes, Rachel at Vital Performance is someone I would confidently recommend.

I have trained with Carla for the last 12 months and it has helped me tremendously. She has helped me correct some of my muscle imbalances that were a contrast source of nagging injuries. My workout’s have been fun and challenging . I highly recommend her as a trainer.

Shoulder Foundations is, by far, the best program I've ever followed. I did not think linear progress was possible, but I saw significant improvements in the first week, and it only continued from there. My shoulders haven't felt this good in years! Thank you for making such high quality programming so affordable and accessible!

I’ve been seeing the team of practitioners at Vital for years now and let me just say they’re on another level. The care is thoughtful, professional, and truly individualized. You never feel rushed or treated like a number. Every practitioner (almost all of them) I’ve worked with is incredibly knowledgeable and focused on long-term results, not quick fixes. If you’re looking for a place that actually listens and delivers real outcomes, this is it..

Carla is truly exceptional at what she does. Her knowledge, expertise, and passion are unmatched.

Whatever you hope to accomplish in working with her, you can be confident you’re in the very best hands!

Liam Matheson is hands down one of the best personal trainers I’ve worked with. His technical knowledge of strength training, biomechanics, and movement mechanics is outstanding. Every session is structured, purposeful, and tailored with precision—nothing feels random or generic. He knows exactly how to progress load, refine form, and build strength safely and efficiently.
Liam is professional, motivating, and laser-focused on results while prioritizing joint health and injury prevention. Training at the gorgeous Eau Claire Athletic Club just elevates the experience even more. If you’re looking for a trainer who is detail-oriented, highly skilled, and serious about performance and long-term results, Liam is absolutely top tier.

Dr Ainsley is amazing. No wonder the Canadian Olympic team have hired her ... she's simply the best ... Ainsley's been my chiropractor for the past 15 months & the progress I've made during this time has been nothing short of life changing. She's the total package - friendly, outgoing, positive & highly skilled. I feel very fortunate & grateful that she's my Chiro:)

Been going to Vital since it’s opening at Eau Claire. The staff are extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and professional.
Had a few massages from Naomi now, she is great. Also very clear at explaining the body/muscles being worked on and when explaining post-treatment tasks to do at home.
I feel so loose and light after a session with her.
Also had acupuncture / dry needling done by Mack. Extremely well done with good results!
Very knowledgeable and professional.
Would highly recommend Vital Performance!

Naomi Laliberte has been really incredible, helping me through two surgeries and soon chemo. I've seen dozens of massage therapists before, and no one compares to her. Naomi is even helping me through scarring issues from the surgeries and helping me get back on track, so I'm at my optimal health. I'm so incredibly thankful for her expertise, knowledge and kindness. Also, one of my good friends from Vancouver, who has issues with running injuries, swears by her whenever she's in town to visit me and will see Naomi. If you want real results, this is your person!

I recently visited Vital Performance Care for Lactate Threshold and Vo2 max testing. The experience was exceptional. The testing area was easy to access and clean. The test was conducted professionally and all the steps of the test were communicated well. The enthusiasm from the team made a great atmosphere to test in. I'd encourage athletes wanting a top level lab experience to get their testing done at Vital Performance Care.

Working with Carla has been an amazing experience. I came to Carla because of a number of chronic injuries that I was dealing with, the worst of which being a low-back injury. Any one of my injuries was enough to keep me inactive due to my pain, but today I am active again and have gained much of my strength back.
Carla's proactive nature and rehab knowledge were obvious strengths, but the thing that impressed me most is how thorough she is. At my first appointment there was a very detailed physical assessment to establish baseline strength / mobility, and a written and verbal component for injury history. We also start each session by discussing the updates on my injuries / pain flare ups, and she changes her approach accordingly. On top of all of that she is also in email contact with me outside of my sessions. It is awesome to have someone putting thought towards solving your injuries even when you aren't.
One underrated thing about Carla (and Vital generally) is the network of professionals that she can connect you with. Where her expertise might end, she knows the right person to step in. I now have a team behind me (including physios, chiros and doctors) that are all in contact with each other and rowing in the same direction. I cannot recommend working with Carla and her team more!

I’ve just recently signed up for the $20 S/C and I feel so much more confident with the plan I use when going to the gym. And I feel SO MUCH stronger now as this program makes me want to push myself even more.
Not only that but the trainers at Vital are excellent and so fun to work with.
The clinicians are truly full of knowledge and care for their patients.
Vital is just so amazing!! So if you’re wanting to check it out, PLEASE do yourself a favour and do it. 🙂

I started with Vital Performance and Liam Matheson on July 2nd. I’ve been on a weight loss journey plus am waiting for shoulder surgery. As I’m in my 70’s, I wanted to build strength stamina and general support for the journey I am on , living healthy as the years move on. The program with Liam has really been remarkable as he has adjusted what works and doesn’t without hesitation. My general well-being has improved faster than I thought it would be. So thanks for this great availability at the Eau Claire Athletic Club- Vital Performance and of course Liam!

Every visit leaves me feeling stronger, more centered, and supported. Highly recommend.

I am so grateful to be working with Tara at Vital Performance! Talk about knowledge - Tara is truly the most amazing trainer and person. She’s completely different from any trainer I’ve ever worked with. Tara understands the body on such a deep level - her approach is thoughtful, intelligent, and tailored to what you actually need!! I’ve learned so much and feel stronger, more aware, and more confident every week.
If you’re thinking about starting training… this is your sign to contact Tara. You won’t find anyone quite like her 🙂

I can’t say enough good things about the quality of programs at Vital and their staff. Since July, I’ve been training three days a week with Liam Matheson and getting regular treatment from Naomi Laliberte, and it’s been a game-changer. After years of failed attempts to get back in shape due to nagging injuries, Vital’s thorough initial assessment—covering injury history, current abilities, and goals—built a structured program that has sustained my progress for the first time in over a decade.
Liam’s expertise in fitness and human physiology ensures you’re getting best-in-class training. He goes above and beyond, offering guidance on healthy eating and promptly answering questions via text, even outside the scope of my training package. His focus on proper form and habit-building has maximized my workouts and kept injuries at bay.
Naomi has been incredible in helping me recover and fix pain points for me after years of neglect. I’ve seen massive improvements in pain; allowing me to continue to work on my fitness. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough and even identified areas where my body had restrictions that I was unaware of. I hadn’t frequently utilized massage in the past, but have now included it in my regular schedule.
I’ve recommended Vital to others and will continue to do so for anyone seeking expert-led, comprehensive fitness and recovery support. Appreciate all the help so far and look forward to continue working with you.

Facing my 80th birthday the importance of functional strength training became high priority. The assessment at Eau Claire Athletic Club underscored the urgency of establishing a committed program. Liam Matheson, my trainer, has a wholistic approach and curated a plan for 3x week which he personally led. In only a few months I have been able to increase my stamina for hiking and walking. A consistent hip pain has gone. The pain in my injured shoulder has disappeared and range of motion improved. Very encouraging - I look forward to continuing the program and supplementing it with other fitness programs such as yoga and Pilates. Very grateful for my increased fitness which enables a return to loved activities.

Working with Carla at Vital Performance Care has been incredible. After a complete ACL tear and complex meniscus tear, she created a personalized strength program that had me back to activities like trail running and fully prepared for surgery. Post op, her use of the most current rehab protocols, regular strength testing, and attention to imbalances has kept me progressing safely and effectively. I am constantly blown away by her knowledge and her ability to get me back to doing what I love, stronger than ever. Every surgical follow-up has confirmed that I am ahead of the curve in recovery. Train hard, but more importantly train smart. That is exactly what Vital Performance Care is all about.

I’ve been working with Carla and Dr. Blair Murphy at Vital Performance Care for several years, and I cannot say enough about the impact they’ve had on my health and life. As a retired varsity and pro volleyball player with scoliosis and rods along my spine, I’ve dealt with my fair share of injuries and treatments over the years, but the care I’ve received at Vital has truly been the best.
I first came to Carla over 2.5 years ago with chronic back pain that had kept me from the activities I loved. Even simple movements were difficult, but she built a smart, progressive strength program that gave me stability, reduced flare-ups, and eventually got me back to tennis, golf, volleyball, biking, skiing- and doing it all pain free. Since then, Carla has also guided me through ankle rehab, knee pain, and concussion management, always finding ways to keep me moving forward and getting stronger. Thanks to her knowledge, patience, and guidance, I’m now the strongest I’ve ever been.
Alongside that, Dr. Blair has been instrumental in helping me manage back pain, neck pain, concussion recovery, knee pain, and ankle rehab. He takes the time to listen, never rushes appointments, and tailors each session to how I’m feeling that day. His approach blends soft tissue work, mobility, adjustments, acupuncture, and exercise, making every treatment both effective and focused on long-term results. You leave not only feeling better, but also with a clear understanding of what’s going on and how to keep your body moving well. Dr. Blair is truly the best- whether you have a sports injury or just nagging pain- he can help!
The entire Vital Performance Care team is outstanding- the facility is state of the art, the staff are welcoming, and every practitioner I’ve seen has been excellent. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to get stronger, I couldn’t recommend Carla, Dr. Blair, and the Vital team more.

I completed an internship with Vital and enjoyed learning from both Carla and Nick. They are clearly passionate about their work and are very creative and thoughtful about what they do with clients. They offered me a lot of their valuable time and took an individualized approach to help me learn the things I was most interested in, which I believe is a reflection of their Vital’s approach. Thanks for the great internship opportunity!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Rick as my coach for the 10in10in10 Marathon Challenge - our goal was to run 10 marathons in 10 consecutive days across all 10 Canadian provinces, all in support of raising $1 million for children’s charities.
Given the scale of the event, the media attention, and the support of over a thousand donors, the pressure to succeed was immense. I knew I needed a highly personalized training plan from an experienced ultra-marathon coach, and I was lucky to have Vital Performance and Rick Canning recommended to me.
Over 16 months, Rick guided me through more than 6,300 km of training. His ability to strike the perfect balance between pushing me to my limits and protecting me from injury was exceptional. He monitored my progress closely, adjusted my plan when needed, and ensured I arrived at the start line healthy, strong, and mentally prepared.
Rick’s support went beyond just physical training—he helped me develop race strategies, contingency plans, and the mental resilience needed to take on such a demanding challenge. Thanks to his expert coaching, I was fully prepared, and the 10in10in10 could not have gone better.

I was initially on the fence as to whether I should do the Hip Foundations Program? Reason is that I have no current or past issues with my hips...I did however experience recurring knee and ankle injuries, to which physio always recommended hip strengthening. Well after discussing with Carla she gifted me for Mothers Day!! Best Gift Ever!!!
Only a few weeks into the program I already noticed improvements. The program was easy to follow and I did it from home. I would highly recommend this to anyone! My greatest take away is a remarkably improved overall balance. (Yoga, Paddle Boarding, Mountain Biking, Hiking, and later Snowboarding).

Vital has helped me take the next step with my running. I was trying to follow plans that I found on the internet or from friends and I was having troubles achieving my goals and just kept getting hurt. I needed someone to be able to ask questions to and help structure a custom training plan for me. Vital was able to help me do both and I’ve already accomplished a big goal this year with future goals in the works! Special thanks to Rick for always being there for me to bounce ideas off of. I would recommend Vital to anyone for their physical fitness goals!

I have been working with Carla for almost 4 years after struggling with persistent swelling in one of my knees. After working with excellent physiotherapists at Coalition and religiously completing my exercises daily for months, they recommended seeking support from Carla. Carla meticulously studied and helped adjust movement patterns within my walking and running gate to resolve the swelling issues! Since then, Carla has helped me remain active and gain strength through recurring episodes of low-back pain. She’s a magician!
I have nothing but praise for both Carla and Nick. Their deep knowledge, strong desire to help clients, and willingness to think differently is second to none!

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.

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!

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!
another successful season of training (3 sessions) with Tessa. she brings lots of skill and technique variation covering all aspects of sprint development. great feedback and focus on the high leverage aspects of running form, balance, and power. thanks Tessa, looking forward to contining gains!

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.
Chiropractic Care
More than quick adjustments and 10 minute appointments - our chiropractors integrate dry needling/acupuncture, soft tissue release and other manual modalities similar to our physiotherapy services. Our chiropractors work as part of a multidisciplinary team, ensuring your treatment is personalized.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy goes beyond ice packs, heat, and generic exercise printouts - offering hands-on treatment like dry needling, soft tissue release and joint mobilizations, movement retraining, and personalized rehab strategies that create lasting results. With longer, one-on-one sessions, our physiotherapists focus on what matters most, helping you move better, recover faster, and stay strong.
Massage Therapy
This isn’t just about relaxation. Our massage therapists use advanced techniques like shockwave, hot stones, cupping, and Graston to target pain, mobility, and recovery. Whether you need deep tissue work, injury rehab or physical and mental restoration, our therapists collaborate with your physiotherapist and chiropractor to ensure seamless, results-driven care.
Traditional Chinese medicine / Acupuncture
This isn’t just about needles. Our Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturists take a whole-person approach - blending Eastern wisdom with modern understanding of stress, pain, and physiology. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or seeking balance, treatments are personalized to support deep, lasting change.
Sessions may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbs, and lifestyle guidance. Unlike dry needling, acupuncture works with your body’s energy systems and nervous system for full-body regulation. Your comfort is central, and needling is always optional.
OSTEOPATHIC MANUAL THERAPY
This is osteo like you've probably never seen it! Osteopathic manual therapy is a science-backed, hands-on approach that blends joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and precise manipulation with deep clinical reasoning. Grounded in the belief that structure and function are inseparable, it challenges the idea that pain should be chased symptom by symptom - focusing instead on restoring the way the body works as a whole.
