I'm a 64 YO Vancouverite Male ..After decades of hard labour, my lower back is overly Compressed,Bent, Buldging, Herniated, Athritussed, and just worn out,,, back, hips & legs pain.
Just quit smoking and put on another 20 LB.'s. I've tried 3 different Registered Physiotherapists businesses in the last 2 weeks and have quit 2 of them after the second appointment.
The big problem I have found is these people are in this to make money, Not because they want to heal people We are but a means to their end.
Both these places are not rated one on one So this gives them the legal right to over book and thats what they did the last place today did 15 min of traction where he came into the room 2x in 15-20 min ..then he wanted me to peddle an exercise bike I tried but my back was in too much pain to do it ..I told him we just did 20 minutes of decompression now you want me to do compression ...then he tried talking my ear off I had to interupt him and say whats next. He took me into a curtained-off room and tossed a heating pad on my back and left me alone.
I could hear him out there working on someone else after laying there for 10-12 min. I just figured this is a scam, I can do this at home or buy a membership at Edmonds Comunity centre ..So I got up got dressed and left ..when walking past the reception lady I told her I was leaving early. And would straighten out the bill on my next visit. which is going to be cancelled..this was ""Expert Physio"" - 8 Rinks.....
The other place last week was Preformax Health Group 6170 Kingsway Bby Just a horrible little place The building looks ok on the outside but on the inside its this tiny old ugly little space when you walk in the reception is 3 feet into the room ..the waiting room is a row of chairs right in front of reception there is just enough room for the people to stand at the counter and the people sitting behind you are like a foot away from your ass ...the layout inside is a jumbled little mess ...first visit wasn't to bad till the end he wanted to put acupuncture in my back so lay on hard old table for 15 minutes with needles in back where he buggers off to work on someone else ...when he finally came back I told him I have COPD and overweight so I had trouble breathing ..
next appointment he stretched me out for 10-12 min ..then wanted to try acupuncture again,, I reluctantly agreed to try,, he quickly put them in and left the room he came back after about 5 minutes ...I told him we got to do something else ..he took the needles out and said that's all for today.
I didn't go back ...Morel to the story I will search for one on one message I had one yesterday and it was great the young guy never left me for an hour ..I left with good feelings as I hobbled down the street
After reading all the reviews of the Afro Buiz. I rate it low as I very much detest reception that practice deception It's a disgrase to knowingly lie to patients so the company can make more money read more
