Elite Sport Performance

What Elite Sport Performance does

Elite Sport Performance is a Calgary-based multi-disciplinary sport injury clinic founded in 1992, operating as a privately held healthcare practice alongside two co-located sister clinics, The Knee Clinic and Calgary PRP Clinic, under a single legal entity at 535-10333 Southport Road S.W. It delivers collaborative care across chiropractic, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, and sports medicine, plus sub-services including Graston Technique, Active Release Techniques (over 500 protocols), custom foot orthotics, intra-articular and PRP injections, TMJ disorder treatment, and cosmetic PRP/microneedling. The clinical model follows a "Three Pillars of Care" methodology (specific diagnosis with advanced imaging, strengthening for stability, and activity modification), with inter-practitioner communication and physician referral loops.

The business generates revenue primarily through professional services billed per visit, with most services eligible for third-party extended health insurance coverage, supplemented by custom medical device sales (orthotics, knee braces) and cash-pay injection and aesthetic services. The named team includes a Clinical Director/Post-Doctoral Sport Sciences Specialist, a Chiropractic Sport Specialist (Fellow of the Royal College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences, Canada), an FRCSC Orthopedic Surgeon, an FRCPC Public Health Physician, chiropractors with academic publications, registered massage therapists, physiotherapists, and a Manual Osteopathic Therapist.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct patient acquisition via phone and online booking, physician and allied-health referrals, community event booths (National Women's Show, Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show), free educational webinars, social media presence across Facebook/X/YouTube/LinkedIn, and a formalized patient referral rewards program. Customer segments are primarily athletes (competitive and professional), weekend warriors and recreational athletes, and the general public with musculoskeletal conditions, served across Western Canada from a single physical clinic location.
