Calgary Stampede Showband – Calgary Stampede Showband

Alpine Sport Therapy is proud to provide onsite clinical coverage for the Calgary Stampede Showband.

The Showband consists of 140 members between the ages of 16 and 21. During the ten days of the Calgary Stampede, the Showband performs over 100 times. Imagine carrying a heavy instrument, marching on pavement, in the direct heat, for hours at a time – these performers are real athletes!

Alpine therapists operate a remote clinic on the Stampede grounds for the Showband members, keeping them active and ready to perform. We help Showband members prevent and treat repetitive stress injuries. Tendinitis, arthritis, sprains and other aches and pains are a few examples of the conditions our team is working with.

We're honoured to support this unique group of active Calgarians during Stampede season, and through their ongoing training, national travel and international tours. You know what they say, the show must go on!
