Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Lifemark Physiotherapy High River:
Expert Physiotherapy with a Personal Touch
At Lifemark Physiotherapy High River, patients consistently highlight the exceptional expertise and compassionate care provided by the therapeutic team. Led by Dr. Bob Dunlop, who has served the community for decades, the clinic is renowned for its ability to listen deeply and tailor treatment plans to individual needs. Patients frequently describe the approach as collaborative, feeling like a "team" working toward recovery rather than just receiving passive treatment. This personalized attention extends to therapists like Victoria, Joanne, Luschka, and Robyn, who are praised for their patience, thorough assessments, and genuine concern for patient well-being.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Effective Techniques
The clinic offers a wide range of evidence-based treatments designed to address complex musculoskeletal issues, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain. Patients appreciate the blend of advanced methods, including dry needling, manual therapy, and targeted electrotherapy, which are used to alleviate pain and restore function quickly. A standout feature of the service is the emphasis on active recovery; therapists provide clear, effective exercises and "homework" that empower patients to strengthen injured areas at home. This holistic strategy has helped many return to activities they love, from competitive sports like hockey and dance to maintaining mobility in their senior years.
Welcoming Atmosphere and Modern Facilities
Located in a bright and airy facility within the Rec Plex, the center offers a calming environment that promotes healing. The reception and administrative staff are frequently commended for their warmth, friendliness, and professionalism, ensuring a smooth experience from the first call to booking. The clinic also provides flexible care options, including virtual physiotherapy sessions, which patients have found convenient and effective for ongoing management of their conditions. The positive, supportive atmosphere is often cited as a key factor in the patient experience, making appointments something to look forward to rather than a chore.
Dedication to Long-Term Health and Accessibility
Lifemark Physiotherapy High River is celebrated for its commitment to long-term health outcomes and accessibility for the local community. Many patients have trusted the team with their care for over ten or even twenty years, spanning various life stages and injuries, from rotator cuff tears to knee replacements. The therapists are noted for their practical, no-nonsense approach, avoiding unnecessary sessions while ensuring effective progress. Whether addressing acute sports injuries or managing age-related mobility challenges, the team’s deep knowledge and adaptability make them a valued resource for residents seeking high-quality physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Bob for a few injuries over the last year and I can’t recommend him enough! Bob sits listens and helps come up with a treatment plan for the injury. He gives homework exercises to work on each visit and from there you add onto them each visit to work and strengthen the injured area.
Fantastic experience: I was warmly greeted by reception and the physiotherapist. Riona did a thorough assessment. When massage was painful she gave the option of dry needling. Exercises were demonstrated and follow up sent via email. She was compassionate and recommended to continue daily exercise including walking and a community based strength and balance program.
Fantastic experience: Both my wife and I were in a car accident and required physio and had several months treatment for back injuries. And the care and professionalism from physiotherapist Luschka Dearle was so good we looked forward to our weekly visits, she is not only good at physio, she truly cares about people. I highly recommend anyone requiring physio to drive to High River and visit Lifemark.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Lifemark !!!! Lewis and the front desk staff are absolutely fantastic and so kind. Will continue to book in for massage therapy.
Thanks for the great review Hailey. We are very lucky to have a skilled massage therapist like Lewis in the community.
Negative experience: I was told , they could not help me as it was the holidays and there was no one around. Very unhelpful! Waste of time even calling here.
Hi Dave, I am Joe Koshman, the clinic director of Lifemark High River.I am very sorry to hear about your experience, this is concerning for me. I would be keen to chat and get your input on how this could have been handled better considering reduced holiday hours and limited capacity. My mobile is 403-975-1599.
Fantastic experience: Robyn was so fantastic to work with. I went in being barely able to move my arm without pain. And left being able to move properly and with an exercise regimen that got my shoulder working well again. She was easy to work with, gave clean and effective instructions, and did not dismiss any of my concerns or questions.
Fantastic experience: This place has been wonderful from my first call to book and every appointment since. Dr Bob and (I'm so sorry I forgot her name) have been extremely helpful working with me to start resolving my list of issues. I first walked in with extreme pain and zero quality of life, and with all the different treatments and homework so far, I'm slowing seeing a light at the end of this long tunnel. I will be going here for as long as the place is open. The front staff have also been very friendly :)
Hi Tiffany, thank you for sharing your success story the kind words. It is much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Nothing but kudos for the capable and professional care I have received on a number of occasions. We are so fortunate to have Bob and Victoria to compassionately treat and instruct us towards healing of our injuries.
Fantastic experience: The best.
Negative experience: Waste of time waste of money. 2 sessions 1 week apart. 1st session 45 min 2nd session 18 min.
Hello Mr. Taddeo, thank you for taking the time to accept my call. Again, I want to say sorry that your experience with our clinic did not live up to your expectations. I would like to thank you again for understanding the gap between expectations and the care you received. We always appreciate feedback and this input helps us provide better service moving forward. Please feel free to reach out to me, Bob (Clinic Director), at 403-652-3916 or email [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Bob has kept me moving and happy for more than 10 years. He knows exactly how to keep me in order and I've recommended him to many people. Professional and attentive. Lifemark is great!
Fantastic experience: Bob truly cares about his patients and their recovery. He is always professional and extremely knowledgeable. He takes the time to listen and provide the best treatment to get you back to doing what you love. Bob’s the best!
Fantastic experience: Bob is a great physio and gives lots of homework to do at home. The drive from Calgary to High River is defnitely worth it to get better.
Fantastic experience: Bob treated my son for an injury and was incredibly thorough in his patience and explanations. The Physio he did with my son helped to heal quickly and maintain his strength. Plus, the office is very calming and has a healing feeling to it. We were both really happy with our appointments at this Lifemark location.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking physio treatments from Bob Dunlop for years and he has been keeping me strong, mobile and pain free throughout. I can’t recommend Bob and Lifemark highly enough.
Fantastic experience: A big shout out to Lifemark Physiotherapy, Bob , Victoria, and Joanne have all helped me in the last 5 years. From torn rotator cuff, to broken foot, and various old injuries. All of them listen carefully to your problems, treat you with various methods needed and send you home with exercises. That have always helped. They are all fantastic !!!!
Fantastic experience: My physio has been so well managed with Bob at Lifemark !! He is really good at explaining where I’m at in regards to getting better and always takes the time to answer my questions and alleviate my concerns. I feel like we are a “Team” sharing the ultimate goal of my recovery - I highly recommend Bob as a physiotherapist !
Fantastic experience: Extremely satisfied with my experience at Lifemark! The facility is bright and airy, the staff are welcoming and kind, and nothing beats it being here in town! Dr. Bob is professional, knowledgable and sincerely interested in his patients and their lives. I hobbled in, and after some dry needling, I walked out nearly pain free. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and look forward to my appointments. If you are looking for a physiotherapist, this is the place!
Fantastic experience: I am one of the few clients here who probably will never have an exit date from Physiotherapy. I have a continual, lifetime need. I'm very thankful that I have had a great team at Lifemark to help me. Bob has been a virtual lifesaver, in being able to adapt treatment and exercises to meet situations that change all too frequently. I highly recommend the team.
Fantastic experience: Excellent physiotherapist! Bob takes the time to listen and recommend treatment that works. I have been coming here for about three months for shoulder pain and have noticed a big improvement.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Bob Dunlop for at least 20 years. He has fixed everything that has gone wrong with me...groin tear, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff, Popeye arm, back, hip replacement rehab, golfers elbow. He is the best!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant physio team
Fantastic experience: I have been to this clinic many times for many different reasons. Bob is a wealth of knowledge and I am so grateful to have service and healthcare of this caliber right in High River.
Fantastic experience: LifeMark is very professionally operated. Bob did a marvelous job working with me to resolve my rotator cuff issue. The treatment and exercises helped with the pain a lot quicker than I was expecting.
Fantastic experience: Bob is great, he really knows his stuff. He doesn't waste time with a bunch of ineffective exercises, he gives you a few that work very well and you progress quickly. I am very happy.
Fantastic experience: I have been going for physiotherapy in High River this past year. Bob has been extremely helpful in my recovery from shoulder injuries. He is extremely knowledgeable, and clearly explains the exercises I need to do at home. All the staff are very pleasant, and the facility is warm, clean and bright.
Fantastic experience: Very skilled physiotherapists who are pleasant to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Bob is the BEST!! I have compressed discs in my neck and he has been helping me manage my pain, as well as helping me get the strength back in my arm. His knowledge and experience are undeniable. He is so kind and understanding about what needs to be done and how to get there. He truly has been a blessing for me. Thanks Bob and staff!!! I would recommend Lifemark in High River to anyone that needs even the smallest dose of physio or acupuncture.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Bob,,things are manageable with his help and advice!
Fantastic experience: Have been attending Bob at lifemark for some time for a difficult injury. He has been proactive, understanding and flexible with my challenge. I would recommend Bob to anyone in need of excellent physiotherapy.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this clinic.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Bob for over 25 years. Through 2 rotator cuff surgeries, a knee scope, and now a knee replacement Bob’s been a life changer. His insight and knowledge and the ability to convey that into practical application for me has made some arduous journeys back to good health much easier and quicker. Couldn’t have done it without him.
Fantastic experience: Bob has helped with my recovery after several different injuries over the last 9 years. He is thoughtful of what I can manage and builds a plan around clinic treatments and at home exercises. He focuses on treatment and then building strength to fully recover. I tore my calf years ago and it is stronger now than ever. I recommend everyone to this clinic!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, clean facility. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, with modern equipment and treatments. Great place with a very positive atmosphere full of support to help you heal fully, body, mind, and spirit.
Fantastic experience: Bob and the staff at Lifemark Physiotherapy are absolutely fantastic! The administration staff is always friendly and welcoming. I began seeing Bob after I tore my ACL and partially my MCL, as well as a minor meniscus injury. After just the first session I knew I was in great hands. I have heard a lot of amazing reviews from friends within town about Bob and knew he was the best one for me. After only about 4 or 5 sessions Bob had my mobility and strength back. He gave me simple yet effective exercises and showed me exactly how to do them. Then he gave me homework to do at home as well. I have heard of other physiotherapists wanting clients to come in several times a week for my injury but it seems that Bob doesn’t make one go more than they should be. I love that about this office. They are never pushy. Once I had my ACL reconstruction surgery, I made an appointment with Bob to continue to rehabilitate my knees post surgery. It’s been 6 weeks since my surgery and my range of motion and strength are doing amazing, and I definitely attribute that to having Bob as my physiotherapist. He puts me at ease and also tells me when I’m overdoing it. I’m so glad this excellent facility exists here in High River.
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Bob @ Lifemark for various issues for over ten years. He listens well and picks various treatments to match the problem (s) as needed. Great health provider!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic therapists I have had the pleasure of Bob and Vicky attending to all three of my children with patience and great detail to their injuries in sports related activities I would highly recommend them both
Fantastic experience: Great experience all the way around. My shoulder is getting better slowly but surely after very little improvement trying other therapies. Great staff at Lifemark High River, great facility and Bob Dunlop seems to know what he's doing...
Fantastic experience: Over the years, I have often come limping in to see Bob and after professional, holistic, manageable treatments, have kicked up my heels, hopped on my bike and raised my arms to once again resume activities to keep me active. From the friendly reception desk to the physio bench, there is a cordial, professional atmosphere of comradarie as staff work collaboratively together for the betterment of their clients. I have and will continue to recommend Bob and his team to others and I appreciate the explanations, sense of humor and knowledge exhibited when I am there. Keep up the excellent work! I certainly appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: Bob Dunlop was able to make my hip work properly. No one else has been able to help me with this injury. Thanks a lot Bob. I would highly recommend you.
Positive experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Wonderful practice. Years ago a frozen shoulder I had for months was taken care of within a few weeks. A knee injury was worked through to the point of being functional again. Thanks to Bob Dunlop and team for stellar care.
Fantastic experience: I don't know what I would do without Bob!! He's extremely knowledgeable and I very much respect his wisdom. He has fixed me and my son up many times.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Bob for rehab on my knee after ACL and MCL reconstruction. The services have been professional, have complimented the recommendations of my surgeon, and worked with my busy work and personal schedule. Bob was recommended to me and I can see why.
Fantastic experience: Bob Dunlop provided me excellent therapy and advice that helped me recover quickly from a hip replacement. Bob is very knowledgable and experienced, and takes a practical approach. And he's a very relaxed and nice guy!
Hi James- Thank you so much for reviewing us. Bob's advanced training has helped many in our community. We are please to hear your hip replacement recovery was smooth with Bob's help.
Fantastic experience: Bob and the team at Lifemark are amazing! Our entire family has had treatments over the years and their knowledge and willingness to work with you on a plan for recovery or overall health improvements is second to none. All of our children have benefited from Lifemark by allowing them to remain competitive in hockey, baseball, volleyball and dance through solid recovery and maintenance plans.
Thank you very much for your review Jeff. We are happy Bob has been able to help your family continue with their physical activities. Bob is an exceptional physiotherapist. We appreciate your business.
Fantastic experience: At first I was reluctant to try online Physio but, to my delight, found it easy to access and found Luschka very warm and helpful. I appreciate having detailed exercises forwarded to me so that I didn’t need to try to remember them. Normally I prefer face to face interactions but, in this pandemic time, this was a great alternative. She gave me lots of suggestions, all of which have been helpful. I highly recommend this clinic and this experience.
Thanks so much for your review, Louise! We know that it can be difficult to manage pain in these unprecedented times, and we are happy that your virtual care with Luschka was beneficial and easy to access! We are working hard to ensure that everyone is getting the care they need - we will be continuing our virtual care going forward, and we have opened the clinic following the Health Services regulations to keep everyone safe and healthy!
Negative experience: Based on experience, the therapist I saw here was great and very helpful. However on my most recent visit they have since hired new from end staff. I had a very difficult time trying to get through on the phone in order to get some questions answered before booking an appointment. Ended up having to book online and when arrived at appointment was met with a hostile lady. Not welcoming and not friendly. When I asked a question regarding treatment that she didn’t like she told me to talk to her manager, rolled her eyes and walked away. The office manager was very good in trying to help and made phone calls to answer my questions while the other lady sat there. Unfortunately I will not step back into this building or any other life mark location.
Jennie, I am glad to hear you're happy with the therapist you worked with, but sorry to hear that your overall experience was a negative one. We pride ourselves on providing quality customer service here, and I regret that we missed the mark. Please give us a call if you'd like to discuss this any further at 403-652-3916.
Fantastic experience: Very prompt and friendly; extremely successful treatment of all ailments I have had. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for reviewing us, Penny! Stay warm out there!
Fantastic experience: Well, here we are at 2020. These numbers are positive, crisp and clear-just like Bob and Logan at Lifemark. Being in the clinic is a pleasant experience where one feels - and knows- you are receiving caring, faithful consideration. We're fortunate to have this level of physiotherapy in High River.
Thanks so much for your review, Barb! Happy New Year - All the best in 2020!
Fantastic experience: Bob was a great help to me. He listened to my explanation of my injury, carefully examined me, and developed a treatment plan that has me mobile again!
Thank you for reviewing us, Kyle! We are glad that you are feeling more mobile through treatment with Bob.
Fantastic experience: I've been more than fortunate to have Bob (Dunlop) as my therapist. He is simply a magician! The clinic is beautiful and well managed, clean as a whistle! Totally satisfied!
Thank-you so much for the review, Michael! We love our location in the Rec Plex in High River, too. We are glad that Bob and the rest of the team have been able to help you with your goals!
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere is welcoming and professional and puts a person at ease. Bob is amazing at understanding the problem and being able to set a regime that takes you on a course that will strengthen and correct the problem and in my own case to inspire me to want to become more fit than I was before. In three weeks I have seen a huge improvement and pain and discomfort is greatly reduced. Maybe best of all I am glad for help for a lifestyle change as I reach my senior years that I am sure will help me to maintain mobility. Thanks Bob!
Thanks for the review Evelyn! We take pride in having a welcoming clinic. We look forward to continued work with you to keep you strong and mobile well into the future!
Fantastic experience: I am grateful to Bob and his team, Bob's treatments have are well explained, effective and I have noted improvement from day one. His team are professional in all their interactions while still being personable. High River is fortunate to have this level of care in their town.
Thank you for sharing your story, Ryan! We are so glad to hear that you are seeing improvements with your care. At Lifemark - High River, we have some of the most experienced therapists in town, and we are happy to be a part of your recovery journey!
Fantastic experience: professional - helpful - Bob and his staff are great - definitely gets you back up and running with genuine care and concern for your well being - Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: We can't thank Bob enough for the incredible care we've received over the years. His patience, expertise, and thorough explanations have always been greatly appreciated and our sessions plus treatment plans always provided great results. High River is very fortunate to have a physiotherapist of this calibre in the community (and he's also a really nice guy!)
Fantastic experience: Can't thank Bob and the staff at Summit enough for all of the great care and rehab over the last year. Both pre and post operative, Bob has been there for me. I really appreciate the fact that I can get my appointments early in the morning (early enough that the times do not interfere with my job). My youngest daughter had similar treatments back in 2016 and 2017 and Bob was outstanding!
Fantastic experience: Bob is amazing. Very through and considerate. Takes his time to understand your concerns before explaining and making a plan. I’ve personally seen significant improvement in just three visits.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Bob at summit for many years now... as my life transitioned from athlete to professional contractor; I have seen many issues.. I often wonder what people do with out somebody like Bob in there life ... I'm beyond grateful you always find a way to get me back together ... thank you thank you thank you for doing what you do. .
