Review from Tanya B.

Great location (corner of Davie and Burrard), plethora of healthcare services and full of hot men. Seriously. My Practitioners are all hot!
Dr. Raminder Badyal is a chiropractor that dresses unnervingly well. He's quick (witted) yet thorough. The appointments are longer than I was used to with my previous chiropractor in Kits and I feel like the care I'm getting is superior. He hooks my back up to this electo-pulse thingy with a heating pad for about 10 minutes before I get my adjustment. It's like you drift off into a warm, buzzing daze... by the time he comes back to adjust you you are putty in his hands! Sometimes I even get a little massage before I get cracked. Just a little bit of heaven...
Dr. Aaron VanGaver is my Naturopathic Doctor in this office. Young, hot, inked and knows his #%@^! You'd be a fool to pre-judge based on the tattoos (if you can even see them) . He is down-to-earth, caring, genuine and asks relevant questions about your health. I adore his acupuncture treatments (I'm a sucker for crystals and aromatherapy so he incorporates those in). I know a few other people who see him and they also rave about him. He tailors the session to you and your needs--no cookie cutter treatment/sessions here.
Last, but certainly not least: Justin Adam Smith, my Registered Massage Therapist. I am a Bodywork Practitioner so I'm very particular about my massages. This guy is the one for me! Funny, charming, svelte, and hot, hot, hottie. Based on his build, you'll be floored by his strength. He pinpoints areas of tension that are so deep you didn't know they existed. I have always had great treatments from him but my best ones are when I ask him to work a specific area and he totally wows me with his techniques. I had him work my wrist once, it had been painful and clicking for more than a week. I kept trying to "crack" it myself. He worked his magic and the clicking stopped and no more pain. Go see him for chronic pain or just to feel amazing. Remember to breathe, he's WAY stronger than you think.
The lovely Bruce runs the front desk. He keeps that place bustling and running efficiently while being friendly, fabulous and remembering your name. He always seems so genuinely happy to see you when you walk in the door. He is one of the extra special perks in that office. If I ever go in and he's not there, my heart sinks a little... and I say "Ah, where's Bruce?'
The clinic has more practitioners and offers more services than the ones I've reviewed so check it out. -

Justin Adam Smith you know how to make a guy feel good! I am sure you make a girl feel good too.
I recently have been enduring severe lower back pain. It has prevented me from sleeping well and doing all the active things I love in life. Justin to the rescue.
The certificate on his salon wall said he was certified in 2007 but his sense of professionalism and technique would make you think he has been a CMT for a lifetime. He really listened to why I was in need of a massage and attacked those problem areas like a pro...well that is because he is a pro!
If you are in need of some fine tuning or just some relaxing you should give Justin a call. Just a word of warning you will become hooked and need a regular fix but it is all worth it! -

If you are interested in a great sweat to detoxify and shed some body fat, Infra Red sauna is a formidable compliment to your regular exercise routine. You will feel and look a lot better.
