History

Established in 2001.

In 2001, James Dean started St. Albert Physical Therapy & Sports Injury Clinic as a small four-​bed clinic in Tudor Glen. It took some time and learning, but the clinic began to grow. He then expanded the practice into Edmonton, where he was helping some clients with home visits. He along with fellow physiotherapist, Ed Shields, opened Kensington Physical Therapy in 2004. As St. Albert Physical Therapy grew, it moved across the parking lot and doubled in size. In 2006, James was approached by some individuals and was encouraged to bid for a space in Servus Credit Union Place.
