Due to pain in my lower back and a seemingly never ending quest for a beach body, I sought out some professional help. YSP came highly recommended to me, after all, they were voted best clinic for 2013 and after my first visit I can see why.
Upon my entry I immediately noticed how clean and organized the clinic was. It was welcoming and all the equipment looked well kept and of good quality. I met the clinic manager David Mowat who gave me a brief tour and made it a point to introduce me to all staff who were present. Everyone I met was courteous and cheerful.
I started with a 30 minute massage with RMT Florentin Racovitan. He is highly professional, patient and knowledgeable and took the time to assess where I was experiencing any discomfort. He also made some recommendations for footwear to reduce/eliminate my lower back and feet pain. Florentin practiced as a family physician prior to becoming a RMT and has advanced training and qualifications in several other areas of medicine, his experience goes way beyond that of an average RMT and that makes him invaluable. I genuinely anticipate our next session as after only 30 minutes earlier today I feel much better and make it a point to improve my posture.
Following my massage I met with Kinesiologist/Exercise Physiologist Marina Kaplan for a one hour active rehabilitation session. Similar to Florentin, Marina has a flurry of relevant qualifications, is passionate and knowledgeable in her field. Truth be told she Worked me and as I write this review I'm almost beginning to sweat - in a good way! I honestly can not wait for my next appt which I scheduled for this week. The sessions are customized to each individual but I do admire how they are core specific, and my cool down period involved electronic muscle stimulation, hot packs and a roll out.
As I mentioned above I already booked my next session and committed to 7 more before I take my holidays (aka binge eating sabbatical). For any individuals seeking rehabilitation, whether that be chiro, physio, an understanding of your body, overall sense of well being, exercise/fitness or all of the above, this is no doubt the place for you. read more
