I've had trouble with my knee for a couple of years, after foolishly trying Crossfit. I had it…read morex-rayed and physical therapied for a few months before it finally stopped bothering me, but it still flared up from time to time. My husband and I came to pass the summer in Montreal and shortly after arrival, my knee started aching every evening. He's Quebecois and raved about osteopathy and suggested I go see an osteopath while here. I found Clinique Altermed on yelp and looked at a few reviews elsewhere and decided to book a session with Benjamin Amran. Benjamin has a very cheerful disposition that quickly put me at ease. The treatment definitely seemed a bit weird as a first-timer - lots of pressing and tapping and deep breathing and long silences. He worked on some other body parts that he found to be out of balance and at times the pressure was really uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Long story short, after 1 session, my knee pretty much stopped bugging me, other than a slight twitch after a couple of weeks. I went for a follow up session and it's now been 4 weeks and my knee hasn't bugged me a bit, even after a week of marching up and down the hills of Quebec City. I'm amazed! And every time I mentioned my good experience to other folks here, they all chime in with similar osteopathy experiences. Making appointments was super simple to do online and the price to me was very reasonable. The clinic offers different fees based on the level of experience of your osteopath, but I think Benjamin is worth a splurge. While we mostly conversed in French, he seemed comfortable enough to do treatment in English. The space was clean; I never waited long and everyone greeted me with a smile. I'd trek up here from NYC in a heartbeat the next time I need similar treatment. Highly recommended.

After 3 days of driving and meeting I was in excruciating pain. I called the clinic (which is btw super nice and clean). Dr Quian waited for me to arrive and gave me one of the best acupuncture session I ever had. She had cupping to it and I was already relieved. She advised me to go see my acupuncturist at home when I am back and gave me a lot of advices. I highly recommend her.

I had gastritis and constant heartburn for half a year. As a firm believer in holistic medicine, I…read moredidn't want to take prescription drugs so I started to change my diet and opted for a plant based diet (I tried to treat my body myself basically). Eating healthy has helped me a lot for a while and I started to feel better. However once in a while, I would still go out with friends and eat junk food. That's when my heartburn and acid reflux came back. So I found Dr Qian's clinic and she did acupuncture on me for about a couple of weeks and the heartburn and acid reflux had stopped. After each treatment, I could feel my symptoms diminishing. Now I can eat anything without worrying about heartburn and acid reflux. It's quite miraculous :) I'm very grateful for her help! She is a sweet and kind doctor.

I have consulted Aina Zhang 2 years ago for my second IVF try. Graduated for both Chinese and…read moreWestern medicine, I found that she was very competent (being a health professional myself).

I needed help to relax the muscles after a long flight as I was going to race at Ironman Mont-Tremblant on Aug 18 (Sunday). Also, I had a hamstring/hip injury which was continuously bugging me during my runs, especially towards the end (after 30-33 km) in Marathons. Her treatment did miracle! Not only I felt insanely fresh in all the muscles, but also the soreness at my problem hamstring/hip area almost completely disappeared. This was remarkable - as this was the first and the only time I visited her (I am from California, USA, not from Montreal)! I could do my first Ironman Race with ease (well, relatively speaking! Of course, covering 226 km in a day was not exactly a breezy experience)! Her treatment was miraculous - the freshness that my muscles felt after that was a key element for this.
