The muscles in the leg atrophied significantly. I am 66 so this was going to be a difficult process starting with a knee splint and crutches. A friend recommended SEMI for the rehab. I met Melanie Gordon and she put together a program to get me going again. Amazingly, by mid-November the knee was basically back to its old flexibility and almost back to its full strength. It is such a relief for an active senior! Melanie regularly reviewed my progress, manipulated the knee and continually changed the exercise program based on my progress but also listening to my concerns. And a great cheerleader for those times when you feel like you are not progressing as fast as you would hope. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend SEMI and Melanie for any physical rehab program.

Got the cast off on November 7, allowed to walk more, up to 20,000 steps (before I was doing 35,000) and with further physio, I will continue to improve. I owe a lot to Dr Stoddard, Melanie Gordon, the wonderful front desk staff, Regina, Roxanne and Courtney who made ever visit wonderful. Thank you! I tell everyone who has ever been hurt to call!

You might not be able to stop the punishing passage of time, but at least you can get your body better adapted to it. Myodetox is the perfect place to help you with that. I've been going to Myodetox for months, and let me tell you, they absolutely know what they're doing here. My physiotherapist, Sabrina, is fantastic and I have been going to her regularly for months now. I've gotten random aches and pains magicked away in a 30 minute session. I have fixed issues that lasted for years in the span of weeks. She actively listens to your issues and prescribes the best treatment to target them by employing a mixture of hands-on treatment, exercise assignments, and even acupuncture. I also recently started seeing their new RMT, Mateo, and he's a perfect addition to anyone's wellness journey. I've had massages before, even massages at doctor's clinics, and yet none of them felt as clinical and effective as Mateo's. You're not just lying on a table and falling asleep for an hour. Mateo asks you about your problems, actively treats them, and (much like the physio sessions) assigns you homework exercises to keep the problems away. My back will be eternally grateful to his work. Myodetox definitely is on the higher range of the price spectrum but you will get the most bang for your buck. And if you've got benefits, there is no better place to use them!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Austin and the entire team for a great…read moreexperience addressing my Frozen Shoulder. Several months ago, I started having pain and reduced range of motion with my right arm, my dominate arm. I quickly reached out to a shoulder specialist that I had used before with my left arm. This time, after months of therapy and continued reduction in range of motion, my doctor finally said, there's nothing else I can do. You just need to continue the exercises and eventually it should get better. At that point I started researching, hoping to find a solution. I found that it is not uncommon for it to take 2-3 years to achieve pain relief and at that point it is not uncommon to have permanent loss of some range of motion. I also found information on the Oolo-Austin Trigenics (OAT) Procedure. Being a little cautious, I searched the web for everything I could find on OAT and Trigenics. One of the first reviews I found was not good at all. But it was the only negative review I could find. All of the others gave outstanding reviews, ratings, and testimonials. So, I went back to the negative review to better understand. It sounded like the individual refused to follow the pre and post procedure requirements. With that in mind, it seemed to me, that Trigenics was being blamed for the patient's own decisions and failure. I decided to discount this review and contact the Frozen Shoulder Clinic for more information. Fiaz contacted me and reviewed the entire process making sure that I understood the need to follow the correct diet, breathing technique training, and pain management protocols. He said that even with proper preparation to be prepared for 2-3 minutes of intense to severe pain during the procedure. The day of the procedure went exactly as planned. Parts of the procedure were uncomfortable but not really painful. I am sure the pre procedure medication, relaxation techniques, and breathing process helped significantly. There was a minute or two that was very painful but bearable with proper breathing. Afterwards it was all worth it. I was immediately able to fully extend both arms fully above my head and the pain was gone. I am still working on the hand-behind-the-back motion but making progress using the post procedure exercise plan. I did take advantage of the help of one of their overnight therapist to ensure I was following the process correctly and would encourage others to do so also. So, would I do it again? Absolutely! Would I recommend this procedure to others with Frozen Shoulder? Definitely! I just wish I had done it sooner. I could have saved myself a few months of pain and limitation. www.FrozenShoulderClinic.com

In 2012 or 2013, I was experiencing severe pain in my lower back. I expected to have these spasms…read moreabout twice every year and it took about six weeks to calm down and make life bearable again. On this particular occasion, it wasn't showing much improvement over the six weeks and I was desperate for relief. I found Back Clinics of Canada on the internet and scheduled a free consultation, bringing my X-rays with me. I met Ron who explained in detail what was going on and how he could help over 20 sessions. I agreed to move ahead on the spot though it was not inexpensive. However, life without a functioning back is no fun at all so I rationalized it as an investment in myself and my future happiness.. The first three 22 minute session were noticeably painful but by the time I left the clinic I was no longer in pain. By session six I could feel a real improvement and I looked thereafter forward to each session. It was fun to talk with other patients while in the heating area and to hear about and see their progress as well. Almost everyone I spoke with had a similar experience as mine, real improvement after half a dozen sessions. After session 20 I was given some exercises to do. I did some but not all of them but I also did older back exercises that I was familiar with. The long and short is that it is now six or seven years later and I have not had a single lasting spasm during that time. Occasionally I overdo things and my back will hurt for a day but I've never been close to the situation I was in for many years before doing the program. The exercises are key and I believe they've helped me strengthen my back to the point where I won't have severe back pain again. So while the program is not for everyone and is costly, it's a great option for those who don't know what to do next. Surgery is something I would never want to have and knowing there is an option that can actually reverse back pain and keep it that way, is something I am truly grateful for. That's my story and every word is true.

Will be trying out their out services as needed. But so far it has been good progress at once every 4 weeks.
