At Elevate Health, physiotherapy is more than just treating injury or pain.
It’s preventing it. It’s helping patients shift from reactivity to proactivity.
It’s collaborating with other clinicians to help you make progress
in your recovery or your performance.
It’s about living your life fully—whatever fully looks like to you.

OUR FOUNDERS
D'Arcy Gainor
Physiotherapy
PHYSIOTHERAPIST & CO-FOUNDER
D’Arcy has been active outdoors since his childhood climbing the framed houses of Calgary’s then-new Silver Springs neighbourhood. He considered a career as an outdoor guide—until a volunteer experience in university with physiotherapist Dr. Michael Westaway changed the trajectory of his career and life.
Now a physiotherapist of 25+ years and a clinical director of 12 years with a Clinical Instructor designation from the University of Alberta, D’Arcy’s depth and breadth of experience extends beyond musculoskeletal physiotherapy with expertise in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy and concussion management.
Today, he climbs mountains instead of houses, runs, and swims. He walks the talk, strength training to prevent injury and pain, and he’ll always talk nutrition with you—especially when said nutrition includes Eggs Benedict or chocolate. He has two daughters and lives in Calgary, AB.

Marc Pesant
Physiotherapy
PHYSIOTHERAPIST & CO-FOUNDER
Before his 15+-year career in physiotherapy began, Marc was an athlete: A martial artist and hockey player. While attending the University of Saskatchewan, he competed in Tae Kwon Do at the national level, with dreams of joining Team Canada at the 2008 Olympics. But life had other plans: Injury.
He knew if he couldn’t be an elite athlete, he could still work with them—so, he joined the University of Saskatchewan’s men’s hockey team as a trainer, where he was exposed to physiotherapy. He graduated with his degree in Kinesiology and moved to New Zealand to become a physiotherapist himself.
Since graduating and becoming licensed in Canada, Marc has worked as a physiotherapist in Calgary and treated post-surgical knee reconstruction patients with Banff Sports Medicine. Marc is still an athlete—and a respected nerd in the world of Warhammer. He lives with his wife and two kids in Calgary, AB.
