Our Why

ORKA Education was built as a curated platform for allied health practitioners, where knowledge, systems and execution can lead to an immediate and direct impact on patient outcomes. When we took a look at the current landscape of continuing education offerings across the fields, we felt it was packed full of courses that purely taught pain modulatory techniques, and it revealed gaps in several topics we felt crucial for optimizing client outcomes in the long-term, and that allowed practitioners to navigate the entire rehabilitation journey. The goal at ORKA Education is to provide a focused educational curriculum and tactical framework, centered around rehabilitation and performance principles.

As part of our education wing at ORKA Performance, we are proud of offer 1 on 1 mentoring for practitioners and coaches who are hoping to gain more insight to help them level up their practices.

These mentorship sessions can be completely tailored to your needs as a coach or practitioner and can stem from rehab through to performance and even day to day business operations at ORKA.

OWNER, COALITION PERFORMANCE CARE

"Back in November, I attended and completed Plinth to Podium with ORKA.

Although the content of this program is outstanding for any professional in the Performance/Rehab space, it is the collaborative culture and conversations that ORKA fosters that sets them apart. I am grateful to continue to work alongside Travis and Taylor with Coalition both as professionals, community partners, and friends “
