Serving Northwest Edmonton Since 1987

Coronation Physiotherapy has been part of Northwest Edmonton since 1987. Through decades of change in how physiotherapy is practised, one principle has remained constant: every patient deserves an accurate assessment before treatment begins.

The clinic operates from a 3,400+ square foot dedicated facility at 14315 118 Ave NW — the same neighbourhood it has served for nearly four decades. Under current ownership, the clinic has invested in expanding its clinical team and treatment capabilities while maintaining the standard of one-on-one care that has defined its reputation.

Leigh Garvie — CPA Accredited Clinical Specialist in Sports Physiotherapy

Leigh Garvie is one of only four physiotherapists in Canada to hold the CPA Accredited Clinical Specialist in Sports Physiotherapy designation — the only one in Alberta. She earned this designation through demonstrated expertise, clinical volume, and rigorous peer review — not self-declaration.

Leigh has served on the Canadian Medical Team at six Olympic Games, three Pan American Games, and the Commonwealth Games. That level of diagnostic experience is available to every patient who books at Coronation, whether you are a high-performance athlete, a post-surgical senior, or someone dealing with a problem that has not responded elsewhere.

Leigh continues to treat patients at Coronation daily.
