ESTABLISHED 1996

Nelson’s Institute for Sport, Health & Rehabilitation

Kootenay Health Services brings together leading clinicians across rehabilitation, performance, and integrated health care — helping individuals recover, perform, and thrive.

What We Do

Athlete Development

Build strength, speed, and endurance with training tailored to your sport and goals. Each program also works on mobility and movement, helping you progress safely and stay ready for the demands of competition.

Sport Science

Know where you stand and what to work on next. Using VALD technology, we measure strength and movement to guide training decisions and help athletes prepare for the physical demands of their sport.

ACL-Advanced Rehab

Moving away from a time-based model toward a criteria-driven, performance-based progression ensures athletes are truly prepared to meet the physical demands of their sport and return safely and confidently to play.

Physiotherapy

Whether you’re dealing with pain, an injury, or limited movement, our physiotherapists assess what’s going on and build a treatment plan to help you regain strength, move more comfortably, and return to everyday life or sport.

Clinical Counselling and Mental Performance

Life and sport can both bring challenges that are hard to work through alone. Counselling and mental performance support give you a place to talk, develop practical tools, and take the next step.

Concussion Clinic

Kootenay Health Services (KHS) is proud to be part of the Shift Concussion Management Group, providing comprehensive assessment and treatment for individuals experiencing both acute and persistent post-concussion symptoms.

What People
Are Saying

KHS! Thank you for the support leading up to and during the biggest cycling season of my life. Between strengthening and recovering you guys rocked it. I have never felt so balanced and strong in the 10 years of my competitive racing. The KHS team kicks ass and the facility is top of the line.

Craig, Robyn and their Team care about you and make you feel like a part of their family. Recently I underwent ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery and throughout the recovery the staff at KHS has been my ‘pit crew’ — always there for support and assistance. Robyn and Craig have been instrumental in my rehabilitation process — pushed me, talked me off my ledge, eased my anxieties and gave me the exercises and therapy necessary to get me back to the level of activity that I enjoy!

What to say about someone who changes your life? Perhaps just that: Craig Sully changed my life. I came to Craig three years ago well broken. My left leg (bad knee) freshly failed: I could not walk without a cane. Now, 12 months post op from a total knee replacement after 24 months bracing, hands on work, stretching and exercises a la Craig, I stand (literally!) a changed man. His armamentarium includes not only the skills and knowledge of a seasoned healer, he also exudes a deep confidence in the process of healing itself. Without his confidence I would have given up. Thank you Craig Sully.
