For Health Care Practitioners
Are you a health care practitioner or in the healthcare industry and want to work together? Don’t hesitate to reach out and we can set up a collaboration meeting to get to know one another. This can happen over the phone or better yet in person at the home clinic in Mahogany so Mike can explain in more detail what we are trying to achieve and how you can be a part of it. The goal is to find win wins with other practitioners so we can help support your patients in whichever way you deem fit.
Trust
Trust is a huge part of any collaboration. At Inspire Health & Performance we have trust issues and therefore work very closely with only a select few so that we always know our patients will be in good hands.
Sound like you? I’m sure you feel the same way and therefore we have established a referral system that doesn’t steal patients from you so you’re not left in the dark wondering how your patient did. We have a referral system in place that keeps you informed while maintaining the referring practitioner as the primary care provider and us as a supporting role in other areas the patient may benefit from.
For example, if you are physiotherapist referring to us, we will not recommend to your patient they should come see us for physiotherapy. You remain the primary physiotherapy and we will strive to fill in other deficits in the patient’s big picture such as sleep, nutrition, and mental health through our health coaching service or through a direct referral to one our practitioners in those areas.
Referral Process
If you feel we may be able to support one of your patients please see below on steps on the referral process. Our goal is to make things quick and easy for you and for us.

Summary of Health Coaching for you and your team:
Health Coaching – Inspire Health & Performance
A local physiotherapist Mike has introduced a health coaching service as a way to help practitioners deal with big picture concerns that may fall outside of our scope of practice. These 1 on 1 coaching calls are often every 2 weeks to start and will involve an in depth intake form (made in collaboration with a dietitian and psychologist) gathering information on the patient’s sleep, movement, nutrition, and mental health. The coaching calls with then identify the patient’s top level goals, discuss and prioritize barriers towards them, and create a very specific action plan related to the most important steps forward. The coaching calls deal with the big picture while a screening/referral process is in place to get the patient professional healthcare support (e.g. psychologist, dietitian or sleep centre) when necessary. Any referring practitioner remains the primary practitioner and the health coaching calls will be there to only support the current program in place. Communication will also be included back to the referring practitioner in the form of an email update monthly. The idea is that the coaching calls supplement and not replace the current program in place with any referring practitioner. If you’re interested or have more questions feel free to text Mike (403) 679-3977 and he can schedule a time to chat with you directly.

Our Google Reviews
Since Mike helped my husband recover from and manage severe sciatic pain, I’ve been to him myself and have recommended him to multiple people. He is friendly, compassionate, considerate, and extremely passionate about his craft, and approaches physiotherapy from a total wellness perspective. I had issues with neck / shoulder pain and tension, as well as knee pain, and he helped me track the source of these issues from head to toe. He also took my entire lifestyle into consideration when building a program I could realistically execute. I trust him completely and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

I invited Mike from Inspire Performance to create and deliver a session on Wellness for the Rona Inc. Western Distribution network. Mike is knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. He checked in often about the content of the presentation to ensure it was what we envisioned, and his communication was clear and timely. The content of the presentation was informative, concise and appealing to a diverse audience – he even developed a worksheet for the participants to work through during the presentation and it supported participant learning. I highly recommend Inspire Performance for their approach to wellness and their ability to engage learners on what can sometimes be an intimidating topic. Well done Mike and team!

Mike’s commitment to his clients is second to none!
I have been working with Mike Azzopardi over the past 12 months, I now would consider him a friend. My history as an athlete provided numerous opportunities to works with many sports Physio and medical professionals. Mike’s commitment to adapt his knowledge along with the will and determination he has for his clients welfare results in the self inspiration, allowing his clients to meet their goals. I feel Mike cares for each and everyone of his clients. In a world where the basic human interaction are being forgotten mike methods I have found have been life changing in my ability to function.

Mike is a committed coach who really listens to and works with an athlete to accomplish their goals. He helps strike a balance between what you want to do (run all the kilometers in my case) and what your goal is (get to the start line healthy and hopefully fast). He cares a lot and is very invested in his clients.
I started working with Mike as a physiotherapist after several injuries and then he started coaching me back to running. With his help and plan, I accomplished my goal of getting back to running a sub 3 hour marathon after not running a marathon for 1.5 years. I ran a 2:56:51 marathon at the 2023 Saskatchewan Marathon and was the second place female! Working with Mike was important part of making this happen.

Over the years, I’ve had several physiotherapists due to sports injuries. Mike is knowledgeable and stays updated with the latest research. What also stood out to me was his holistic approach. Appreciate your support!
