The physio treatments I have received here from therapist Carl has literally changed my life... for the better. After only 3 visits so far my chronic neck and shoulder stiffness has pretty much disappeared. Carl always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm feeling better, while educating me along the way on causes, preventative exercises, etc.

The staff is friendly, attentive and clearly knowledgeable. The clinic is also very organized and efficient. In my own personal experience certainly, from the time I enter the clinic until I leave, there is no lag time or waiting around for "what's next". And this happens when Carl is balancing the needs of several other patients at the same time. I live very close by so City Sports is handy yet if I lived elsewhere Carl and City Sports would be who I see and where I go without question. Thank you Carl and staff!!!!

I have been seeing Carl for the last 7 years. He has helped me successfully recover from gymnastics, triathlon and volleyball injuries -  ankle, knees, hamstring, and hips.
He uses modalities in addition to his incredible intuition and gift for diagnosing and rehabilitating injuries quickly and efficiently.
Not only has Carl helped me, but Carl has been helping my family for the last 30 years.
He worked with my Mother when she was on the Canadian National and Olympic ski team, when he helped her recovery from two full ACL tears.
She never stopped raving about him, and I cannot agree with her more.
Carl knows 100% what he is doing and prescribing. I trust him fully.

I recently received physiotherapy care from Carl Petersen and Adam Chin, and massage therapy from Brittany Lanigan. I am beyond impressed with the professionalism, expertise, and genuine care I experienced during my sessions.
From the initial assessment, they demonstrated an understanding of my condition - wrist injury followed by surgery - and, took the time to explain the treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand. What truly sets them apart is their hands-on approach and commitment to patient recovery. Each session was tailored to address my specific needs, and I felt a significant improvement in my mobility and pain levels after just a few sessions. I highly recommend City Sports to anyone seeking expert physiotherapy care. Their commitment to patient-centered care, combined with a wealth of knowledge and a personable approach make them an outstanding healthcare clinic.
Thank you, Carl, Adam and Brittany, for your exceptional service and for playing a crucial role in my journey to full recovery!

I had an ankle injury and was going to another clinic for 3 months and was getting worse. Through a referral I heard about City Sports, and within just a few weeks I was already seeing improvement. I thought I was not going to be able to run again, but am now fully healed. Not all clinics are equal. If you want real results go here! Ask for Carl, he is the best!

My hamstring was such a mess that the pain would wake me up at night. I could not go for hikes and had to stop running. Carl fixed me up better than new and I'm back!! Amazing physio. Great online booking and very easy to deal with benefit payments. 5 out of 5

Carl is THE best. If you have to see a physio he’s the guy who’ll get you back into the game/life quickly and safely. Plus the great travel tips are free. Merci bien.

I highly recommend Carl Petersen. I’ve seen him for 3 injuries in 2020 and he’s been able to get me back to my activities quickly. He is very knowledgeable and great to work with. Amazing!

I injured my SI joint while working out to the extent that I could barely walk and it could not get up after sitting or lying down. Carl managed to fix me after just a few sessions .He got straight to the route of the problem and knew what to do and which exercises to give me to do at home and in time, I was back to normal. Thankyou, Carl!

Had 1 hour Physio with Carl Petersen after calling and getting in the same day!
Superior service in every way!
So many years experience with our National Ski team makes him the ideal therapist to get one back on the slopes or the tennis court promptly!!
Thank you Carl!

Carl Petersen is the best physiotherapist I’ve ever been to, hands down. I’ve had multiple back and pelvic injuries over the years and have seen many physios across Canada in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver - and he is simply just the best. He narrows in on what the area of difficulty is and prescribed exercises and treatment that actually works. And doesn’t require 5 sessions like some to figure it out. He is amazing, couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Carl Petersen is a great physio, super knowledgeable and has lots of experience with high performance athletes.

Carl Petersen is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny, personable, professional, an expert in this field like an open book encyclopedia. I have been treated by him with my injuries and he seems to always fit me in his busy schedule. I am so lucky to have him as my therapist. He is also a seasoned traveller and I enjoy all his travel tips. He treats all his patients with the outmost care. I want to give him 6 stars but only 5 were available to pick. He is truly a hidden gem.

I had an excellent experience at City Sports. Carl knew exactly how to treat my injured scalene and sent me away with home care instructions and exercises to avoid repetitive injury. I’m so… thankful as I could barely move yesterday due to the excruciating pain. So appreciative of their staff and service.

Had a Physio session today with Carl and he was absolutely amazing. Upon arriving I had so much pain on my left foot but Carl was able to treat my foot and was able to leave with less pain and able to walk much better. Thank you Carl for your genuine care and passion. I am truly grateful for your understanding and patience. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family you are truly a Gem and deserve 6 star rating. Looking forward to our next session.

I recommend this clinic anytime I hear someone could use some physio ... they're the absolute best. I initially went a couple years ago with a hip issue that was seriously impacting my mobility, and to say the treatment was successful is an understatement. Carl helped me get strong enough to start doing Pilates and generally resume exercise, and tools to address the repercussions when I (inevitably) over do things so it doesn't happen again. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I have known Carl Petersen for well over 18 plus years now. I have seen him on several occasions for years, for various issues due to my previous sport (Rugby)related injuries, and after the Hip Replacement surgery rehabilitation. e has always been able to help me resolve my pain symptoms. Carl has fantastic manners, is able to diagnose issues accurately, and implements effective and efficient treatment methods. He also explains what has happened with the injury, allowing you to understand the cause of the pain and how his recommended treatments would alleviate symptoms. Thank you for your dedication to your craft, and for working so hard in assisting your patients by giving them the best possible care. It definitely shows in the quality of care received.
I have already recommended Carl Petersen to several of my friends because that is how good he is!
Thank you! Keep up the fabulous work!

My family have been treated by Carl Petersen for years, my wife and I play tennis and hockey, my two daughters are high performance athletes and Carl helped us every time we needed Physio treatment due to our active life styles. He has extensive knowledge working with athletes at the highest level in numerous disciplines, always professional and accommodating to our busy schedules.
