Came here for a massage. This place is close to my work so I thought I would try it. It was my…read morefirst massage ever and it went ok. The masseuse was very friendly and she worked on me for a full hour. After the massage I didn't feel my neck pain anymore. My neck pain did come back later in the evening. The massage was $120 for 60 minutes. They serve ginger tea which was very tasty and refreshing. I'll probably be back for more treatments.

I didn't write this review 9 months ago (choosing instead to write to the management to share my…read moreconcerns privately), but 9 months later with no response at all from the team at Qi, I'm still upset by my experience and I don't want another plus sized woman to repeat it. So here goes. I am a plus sized woman. Just a fact. Happily, it's pretty rare that I feel that my size impacts the way I'm treated. In fact, the only time in recent memory that I've felt my size impacted how I was treated by someone was with the massage I received at Qi. Now, this is not a statement against everyone that works there. In fact, I had a great massage many years ago (I even asked the team if they could help me track her down, to no response), but I couldn't tell you who it was with. This time however, I selected to have an appointment with Jorg. He specializes in joint, posture & movement issues, and with chronic problems I have stemming from a past broken leg and multiple related surgeries, he seemed like the perfect match. Only, that hope was one way, as I got the distinct impression from the moment he walked in the room that I wasn't his "ideal" client. What followed was a 50 minute massage (in a 60 minute timeslot), zero check-ins about pressure or anything at all, and about the only words he said to me felt like a complete slap in the face. At the end of our time, he told me bluntly that he specializes in *sports* massage, and that the next time I come in? I should book with someone else. Message received loud and clear, Jorg. I'm truly sorry that in your world, only the fit and slender qualify for your help.

Have been going here for a few months now, Paul is very informative and the prices are lower than…read moreother places. He provides several different acupuncture sessions, ranging from health, slimming, injury, etc. I first came for a shoulder injury/frozen shoulder, now it is regular health. My frozen shoulder is relatively gone after 2.5 - 3 months of weekly sessions. There is still some minor discomfort and my range of motion is a lot better now. At the beginning, I couldn't even reach my back/waist or do a 'chicken wing' form with my arm/shoulder. Now I can reach mid back and able to do a 'chicken wing' form/position to reach my back. The actual session is about an hour, however it can take 15 minutes before your session, before he sees you as it is busy. We average 1.5 hrs there. They only take cash so have money for your session.

Only AFTER the family session would you finally get treated so that would be three sessions until they start working on you. It was my first chiropractor experience and upon discussion with others, it seemed like this approach is specific to the clinic and not all chiropractors. For someone who was in pain and wanted immediate attention as opposed to waiting three sessions before getting treatment, their approach was not what I was looking for.

I highly and enthusiastically recommend this outstanding chiropractic clinic, which provides very…read morefriendly and efficient service in downtown Vancouver. I feel very fortunate to have found this clinic and Dr. Alfredo after my previous chiropractor retired. I have been to several chiropractors over three decades, and Dr. Alfredo stands out as the best of all of them! He is an excellent chiropractor with a high level of skill and professionalism, and he immediately understood my condition and the precise amount of adjusting force required to correct it. Other practitioners have tended to use too much force when adjusting my small frame the first time, often leaving me quite sore, but I am very happy with the treatments I have received from Dr. Alfredo, which we very comfortable and have completely alleviated my symptoms. One of the best things about this practice is the fact that they have the ability to do x-rays in the office, which is unusual in my experience, and greatly appreciated, because it saved me a trip to get the x-rays done at another facility. I also find their fees to be quite reasonable. The only downside to the would be the cost of parking at the Bentall Centre, which can be a few dollars to over $15 depending on the length of the appointment. It would be nice if parking validations or at least a discount of some sort were provided for those patients for whom parking costs would be a burden.

Dr. Lin was wonderful! I got an appointment on Monday after inquiring on a Sunday. He was the kind,…read morepatient and accurate expert I was seeking to heal my numb left arm. He treated my complaints as worthy of his insightful care. After the first treatment there is huge relief! And he did not insist I come back right away, but feel how it is and come back only if I need to. He suggested at home care. Also it was partially covered by MSP. And they have other coverage programs. (There is also a special rate for seniors). His heart is in the right place. Whew! I was so relieved! After seeing a allopathic doctor who said "Well, it's not a heart attack, but I don't know what it is. Are you under stress? Why don't you rest?" Duh! That was not helpful after radiating pain, disturbed work life and inability to get a good night's sleep. Then there were 2 massage therapists who gave temporary relief and the Chiropractor who said, "Ice it, don't sleep on it and endure my treatments even if they're painful. Then you're on your own." Yep, I left he's treatment after 5 sessions of gritting my teeth and bearing it. The main point is, follow you're intuition. If your injury feels dreadful, take care of it. If a practitioner of any sort implies you're symptoms are not real or that your reaction to the treatment is wimpy or that treatment does not suit you, then find Dr. Lin. He will treat you with respect, compassion and deep sincerity with highly effective techniques. But don't believe me, investigate what truly works for you. Ps. This is the first review I have written for any business! I did this of my own free will and do to receive any perks from it. That's the truth.

I visited this clinic on May 6, 2025, for cupping therapy--my third time receiving this treatment…read morehere. After the session, the practitioner mentioned I had "a few blisters" and applied some ointment. Since the cupping was done on my back, I couldn't see the area myself and trusted their assessment. However, once I got home and checked, I was shocked to find that nearly every cupping mark was filled with blisters--far more than "a few." Sleeping that night was very uncomfortable, and the affected areas grew painful over time. What concerns me most is the way this was handled. Before leaving, I was asked to sign a waiver. In hindsight, it felt like the practitioner was aware of the extent of the reaction and had me sign paperwork before I realized what had happened. I understand that blistering can occasionally occur with cupping, but the lack of transparency and aftercare, along with how the situation was managed, left me very disappointed. I hope this helps others make an informed decision.

Dr. Pang has strong expertise and passion to identify the ROOT CAUSES of health problems and apply exact treatments. On this respect I've found some other doctors just target and treat the SYMPTOMS and seldom touch the root causes. Dr. Pang's clinic does get very busy at times, and patients usually have to make an appointment ahead of time. In fact I saw her taking care of 3 patients at the same time. Ultimately, what matters most to me is the positive outcomes. And for that, Dr. Pang helped cure my family's health issues, ranging from chronic back pain, migraine, skin rash, leg edema and more. I would like to recommend Dr. Pang as the best acupuncturist in town.
