Our Philosophy of Healing

We go beyond treating symptoms to address the root causes of discomfort, empowering you to take control of your health journey. Through evidence-based care, personalized strategies, and a deep commitment to your goals, we work alongside you to create a future where aging means strength, clarity, and possibility. Healing, to us, isn’t about returning to where you were — it’s about building the capacity to go further than you thought possible.

Meet the Clinic Director

Cory Choma

I’ve always loved a good puzzle—especially when it comes to human health. That curiosity started early and led me to earn a B.Sc. in chemistry, biology, and zoology before completing my degree in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. That scientific foundation still shapes the way I see the body and how I approach each person’s care.

My career began in 1996 at the Misericordia and University hospitals, where I learned the value of teamwork and the scope of what’s possible when the right people collaborate. Over the years, I’ve worked in medical, dental, psychology, and radiology offices before establishing CSA Physical Therapy in 1999. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible mentors like Dr. Chan Gunn, Mr. Ian Sim, Dr. B. Gelinas, and my long-time partners Jeff Begg and Misty Knorr.

In 2014, I became central and western Canada’s only Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist (Pain Science)—one of just four in the country. This role allows me to help clients with persistent pain by offering expert diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and education. It’s also taken me across Canada and around the world, speaking and teaching in places like England, Greece, Peru, and at the International Association for the Study of Pain conference.

These days, my work focuses on persistent symptoms, concussion rehabilitation, and something I’m deeply passionate about: healthspan—helping people live not just longer, but with vitality, resilience, and purpose. I also share my knowledge through a course called Pain Made Easy. This educational platform is designed to make the science of recovery and living well understandable for both clients and clinicians.
