ORKA Performance

We had a few seats open up this weekend for The ACL Summit on January 24-26! Originally taken by an entire clinic, it unfortunately didn't pan out for this rendition.  BUT! That means there is a few seats left that you can jump on before this event is officially sold out.  To secure these spots, jump on our website today.  #ACL #Calgary #education

What an absolute weapon joining us Jan 20 all the way from Guelph, Ontario!

That first run feeling. Celebrating milestones is a pillar here for us at ØRKA.  We LOVED watching Maddie earn that first run, and she crushed it.  Maddie deserves everything great that comes her way. She is one of the most hardworking athletes and always shows up with a smile.  Fun fact, she has also been in the ØRKA fam since she was 11 years old! Onward and upward, Maddie! #ACL #firstrun

When we think of someone who can, and already has made a SERIOUS impact on this industry, its Justine Tobin.  We are so excited to announce that Justine will be joining the ØRKA team at the end of this month.  Justine is a weapon of a physio. She has an extensive background as an S&C Coach and still coaches teams to this day.  She has a wealth of knowledge in the female athlete and pelvic health, which will be a massive addition to our skill sets here at ØRKA.  Starting 2025 off with a 🚀 #orka

2024 was something else 😤 There was so many wins for ORKA as we continued on our mission to help move the needle in this amazing industry.  There was also so many learnings. These will always make us better in the long run.  If we had a word to describe our year, it would be inspiration.  We were inspired by our amazing athletes and clients. Without you, this whole thing wouldn't be possible. We were inspired by other amazing business' in the rehab and performance space, keep driving forward.  This inspiration is what is launching us into 2025. Where on paper, it will be our biggest year yet. We have so much in store for this year, and we're ready.  Let's go.  #ORKA

🚨ØRKA x @yyceaglesvolleyballclub 🚨 We are so excited to announce the new partnership between ØRKA and Eagles Volleyball.  We will be supporting the U14-U18 Boys and Girls teams through the 2025 Season.  Our partnership includes physiotherapy, athlete development, performance testing, and injury surveillance.  We can't wait to get going in the new year!

Welcome, Cass Downe 👏 Cass has been a pillar for collaboration at ØRKA. She has always had an athlete centered approach paired with a brilliant mind and that is what makes Cass special (and just an awesome person).  Our team and athletes will benefit tremendously from having her in the building. Read a little more about Cass here: Cass completed her Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta in 2016. Prior to that, she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario with a strong focus in both exercise physiology and sport psychology. She has comprehensive first-hand experience with sport injuries and the rehabilitation required to return to an optimal level of function thanks to her experience working in various performance rehab settings, working as an IST lead with Volleyball Canada, and having been a varsity athlete herself. Cass brings a diverse background of expertise having worked in various environments with first responders, professional athletes, and film industry personnel alongside her gen pop and weekend warriors. Her interests include a combination of motor control and hands on manual therapy, while prescribing appropriate therapeutic exercise that addresses the root or core issues. Cass is passionate about problem solving and ensuring the issue at hand is being assessed and treated thoroughly, not simply chasing symptoms. Cass enjoys collaborating with other healthcare and performance professionals to ensure that her patient’s treatment goals are met during their time together. She has been certified in dry needling and spinal manipulation, in addition to gait analysis/re-training and blood flow restriction training. She has extensive education surrounding lower limb mechanics (hip, ankle and foot pathologies) in addition to shoulder specific and upper limb injuries. #ORKA #YYC #physio

It's no secret that we have a burning passion for moving the needle.  For us, this comes in many forms. One of our key avenues is through education.  We consider ourselves lucky to get the opportunity to connect with so many incredible practitioners through our Education Streams. And we've got no plan of slowing down, anytime soon.  New courses, new modules, the evolution continues.  2025 is a big one 🚀 #education #orka
