Review from Amelia C.

My original review was about an instructor who has since moved on, but Mark seems to hire all the best people partly because his newest pilates instructor Jessica is brilliant.
She sees everything and is exacting, but at the same time, is encouraging and so clear in describing what you should be doing that the posture and new movements seem easy to grasp.
The root causes of my18-year-old musculoskeletal dysfunction are finally being addressed with the physio pilates and the weekly improvements in my body's form and function have been huge for me. Progress is being made that I didn't see during the years I went to various health care professionals and not-so-professionals. I am also certain that I have avoided a future with even worse pain and dysfunction than I've had in the recent past thanks to the corrections to my posture and gains in core strength.
Not sure how price compares with other places (I started doing pilates here after seeing and being greatly helped by Mark), but happily I've also since found out that my extended health care plan covers most of each session's cost because it's physiotherapy. I end up paying for one-on-one sessions on the reformer what a girlfriend of mine pays for small group mat classes in the same part of the city.
Hoping not too, too many people book with Jessica so that I can't get appointments with her, but that she, Mark, and the clinic get the dues that they deserve. -

Physiotherapist Mark Borslein and physical therapist Ryan Murphy are working as a team to decrease my pain and improve my quality of life.
Ryan is a certified kinesiologist and a certified pilates instructor. His level of knowledge and his ability to commnicate his instructions is producing incredible results . I am really grateful for his guidance in stretching, range of motion exercises and gradual strenght training. I have more endurance now and I am feeling much more in control .
I found the perfect physical therapy clinic for my condition. Their help is so valuable! Gastown Physio and Pilates clinic is really a place for wellness and health.
The whole team is really wonderful !
