i had 4 sessions with them, 2 in february and 2 in april. they raised their fees in this time which is their right, i believe it is my right to be informed of this, which i wasn't. when i first talked to them i told them that cost was an issue because i didn't have insurance so it would be coming straight out of pocket. i asked for an explanation of the billing, and what i got did not clarify a number of questions so i sent all the correspondence to the physio who worked on me who is also the owner, but did not receive a reply. thus i am writing this review so people can make up their own mind.

Highly recommend Anand for physio here. He expertly treated and resolved a lower back injury over a few weeks, and I returned for treatment of a separate neck issue a year or so later. read more

I am an experienced massage therapist and have worked with Olympic athletes internationally much of my career helping them to get back to their optimal condition after an injury. After moving back to Vancouver I had to seek a very qualified Physical Therapist having had ACL reconstruction to one of my knees and a serious hamstring injury myself. With my professional background, you probably guessed I am extremely picky about who works on me. Finding Peter Curtain and Dunbar Physiotherapy has been a huge relief. He has brought me into a place with both injuries where I feel not only back to my old self again but better. This is probably the best thing you could hear about a PT. This and the fact that Peter also takes into account 'how you are doing' and really cares, an extremely important aspect of rehabilitation whether you are a professional athlete or an active person who wants to stay that way. Also, when I ruptured my hamstring just a month ago, Peter knew the Sports Medicine doc I was referred to at UBC and immediately communicated not only with him but also with some people to help me rehab. He is on the ball. I could tell how much the doc respected Peter's professional opinion. My daughter also went to him for over a year, often flying from the Island to see Peter after being in a serious accident in Vancouver where someone rammed-T boned her car at high speed just after she finished nursing school. It was traumatic and her injury kept her from working which was hugely psychologically challenging. She was in quite severe pain that wasn't going away in her back..... Peter worked so diligently to help her get out of pain and at one point was the only one who could relieve it with his techniques. Happily, almost two years after the accident, with Peters and others assistance, she is doing so much better and has her first nursing job! I can't tell you how relieved I am as a Mom to have had Peter and the rest of my daughters medical team working with her. He was a vital component of both my daughters and my recovery. read more

I had been doing a lot of yoga and hiking and was feeling quite a bit of muscle tension in my shoulders and soreness in my feet (from a lack of decent hiking shoes). So, I decided to try a deep tissue massage at Dunbar Physio. My regular massage therapist is on an extended trip and I was a little nervous about trying someone new as I am uber-picky when it comes to massage. I met my therapist, Christine and my first impression was that she had a lovely, calming energy. A good start! The massage room itself was quiet and soothing with soft lighting and I settled right in. To make a long story short, I let Christine know that I liked a good amount of pressure and the massage ended up being just what I needed. Relaxing and blissful at times; so much so that I almost fell asleep twice but also deep and therapeutic. The best of both worlds. I highly recommend a massage with Christine at Dunbar Physio read more

I went to Dunbar Physio for the first time last week. When I arrived, I was told that should the therapist use acupuncture or IMS on me, there would be a $8 needle surcharge which I think is a tacky way to make extra money. If I would told that on the phone when I made the initial inquiry, I would have looked for another place. The therapist I saw was very efficient in her diagnosis. She hardly do any physical adjustment or massage. She stuck 8 needles in me for 5 minutes and I was out of the office in 29 minutes (no heat or anything else) and paid $75+8. I could have bought 100's of needles for $8! They should have build that into their pricing. Beside the fee $75 per 30minute session is already fairly hefty. It is like going to an high end hair salon who charges extra for shampoos and styling products (if the stylists should use them) on top of the service. However, I did feel better when I left. I like the therapist. I would return to the clinic if it wasn't for the needle surcharge. read more

Jonathan is my go to for all of my injuries as an aging Soccer and Hockey player...he has treated me for knee, shoulder, and finger injuries and I always get quick and comprehensive assessments, I know how severe my injury is, and most importantly, how long I need to rest and what I need to do to get better. I highly recommend the team at Dunbar Physio, and Jonathan in particular. He is the best and an integral part of my health team! read more
