Over the years, Summit has become a trusted name for those seeking relief from pain, injuries, and chronic conditions. At the heart of Summit are its experienced and dedicated professionals. Chad Burden, physiotherapist and owner, emphasizes that their staff, comprising of knowledgeable and caring physiotherapists and massage therapists, is the backbone of Summit's success.
“We are among the most experienced physiotherapists in St. Albert,” he says. “With an average of 30 years of experience among four physiotherapists, there’s not much we haven’t seen or treated, and we know the most effective and best treatments that get the quickest results.
Burden lives and raises his family in St. Albert, and Summit has been a part of the community since 1982. Summit is not a chain of clinics nor is run by a national corporation. It is locally owned and operated.
“Our treatments include significantly more hands-on time than most physiotherapy clinics, and we combine this with thorough and comprehensive home stretching and strengthening programs,” he adds.
Summit provides a wide range of treatments designed to help clients recover from their injuries and pain. Their services extend beyond traditional physiotherapy to include alternative treatments like acupuncture, which has gained popularity as an effective method for managing conditions and healing injuries.
