During the pandemic, the Clinic asks clients to use hand sanitizer upon entering, keep their masks on during their visit, which includes treatment, temperature checks and staggered appointments. THIS review is about my Physio treatment with Melissa. I wanted to see Melissa because of her dry needling skills. Melissa completed an assessment of my body, performed treatment and offered me home exercises. Melissa was professional, courteous and efficient. I really enjoyed the compassion and thought in her treatment. I wish I could have expressed that to her, but I was so "blissed out" after the treatment that I didn't. For those of you whom are sensitive or gentle, Melissa regularly checked in with me to ensure I was comfortable. After my treatment, Melissa emailed me a link to an app with specific set of exercises tailor to my needs. I was really impressed with that, and Melissa and the Clinic. I will definitely be returning.

"Most of our employees are vaccinated, but some have declined to share their status," they told me. Given the fact that a disturbing segment of the "wellness" community has embraced Covid and anti-vax conspiracy theories, this is VERY troubling -- especially since most people who refuse to share their vaccine status are almost certainly unvaccinated. It beggars belief that a wellness clinic refuses to impose a vaccine mandate -- thereby putting its clients, it's employees, and the wider community at risk of a deadly plague. Are they prioritizing profits over community safety? It sure seems like it. :-(

From the very first visit, I felt very comfortable with the professional service. I was treated by Chris Henderson, a registered physiotherapist and one of the owners, and was impressed with how quickly my shoulder improved.

Before I even got home, I had an email from Physio First with my next appointment reminder and the detailed exercises to do at home.

It took a while to book my initial appointment, but it was worth it. All I want is to get my back cracked, I got that and more. In our first consultation, he checked my mobility and movement and assessed that I have a mild form of mechanical pain. He created a treatment plan of 5 sessions and included exercises that would help develop my core to prevent injury during sport/workouts and improve my posture. He went beyond that by providing a brief high-pressure targeted deep massage at the beginning of the first and each subsequent session. I wouldn't say it's relaxing, but I love the pressure. He'll adjust based on your tolerance though my motto is no pain, no gain, so I take it full on. We worked mainly on my upper, lower and mid-back. *TIP* If you want to work on your back, wear a tank top instead of a strappy sports bra. I've been working on those three exercises he taught me each day. I would say they are easy enough to add to your routine and incorporate daily. Oh and it's always wonderful when a clinic charges directly to my insurance, saves all the pain of admin work.

I'm writing this review to clarify Peter's bodywork. I often see reviews for massage that say very…read morelittle to enlighten you and it's so subjective. Saying things like,"excellent massage" aren't helpful for clients looking for a specific type of work. I'll break Peter's work down into a few categories which are all of equal importance: KNOWLEDGE - Peter has an encyclopedic understanding of anatomy of the human body. He knows all the muscle (not just the main muscle groups) along with their origin and insertion points. Why does this help? Because you can work muscles along any of three points: origin, insertion and the muscle belly itself (as well as the fascial layers). With this knowledge and understanding of the location, you can work a particularly stubborn area a multitude of ways that are harder for therapists that don't have a good working knowledge of anatomy. Peter was also previously a personal trainer and is a current bodybuilding competitor so he knows the body from different perspectives: a normal person, an athlete, and a trainer. INTUITION - I am a massage therapist and it's rare to find another therapist who has Peter's level of intuition. This is obviously more subjective and harder to quantify (and likely something that's not even noticed by non-therapists). What I mean by this is his ability to listen/feel the muscle and to know precisely when to stay on it, when it's about to release and when to push through it. This is a skill that you either have or you don't. I have been to many massages where the therapist has zero intuitive sense of the body and they basically force their way through the muscles. This results in unnecessary additional soreness and doesn't help to relax the muscles. This makes his sessions less painful (compared to an un-intuitive therapist) and more effective. The body gives you clues when it's ready and Peter listens! PRESSURE - also a subjective area. Pressure, to me, is enough force to cause release of the adhesion. With an un-intuitive therapist so much force is used that I'm gritting my teeth, I've stopped breathing and I'm involuntarily contracting the exact muscle they are trying desperately to release (causing the therapist to use even more force to get it to release: result unnecessary soreness and likely the muscle never even fully released and still causes pain). I love deep tissue massage and I have a fairly high pain tolerance and I found that Peter was phenomenal about taking you right to that edge (where the pain building and could get very intense quickly but doesn't). If you listen to the body, it tells you exactly how much pressure is needed. I was recommended to Peter by my brother upon my visit to Canada. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had such a well rounded combination of skills, which makes him a PHENOMENAL bodyworker. I will be setting up a massage with Peter every time I visit my brother...or maybe I'll see my brother every time I come to visit Peter ;-).

So far I have gone to both physiotherapy and chiropractor and both were very informative and helpful.

After about a month and a half I am able to move with barely any pain. Highly recommend!
