I am so pleased to have found something local that is SO helpful to my general wellbeing! Amari (pilates/yoga/body rolling) is a fantastic instructor, with the ability to work without judgement and able to turn your body into what you need it to be. Helen (owner, physiotherapy) is aiding me in getting back on track after many months of prolonged back pain. One visit with heat, massage, acupuncture.. and I walked out of there elated.. with the ability to shake my bum! Trust me, it had been a while. Love it. I never knew I would be such a huge fan of acupuncture. It made a real difference in what was becoming a debilitating problem. I am able to work again after one visit! Keep up the good work ladies. I'll be back... many, many times. ;)

I had a very severe impinged nerve substantially restricting neck movement, I couldn't even lie down. Steve initially provided frequent treatment to improve mobility and, acupuncture to alleviate the 24hr pain. With "homework exercises" prescribed by Steve, the majority of the problem cleared up within 6 weeks. I was well "looked after" and would definitely return.
I couldn't believe how effective just 6 or 7 acupuncture needles could be at lessening my pain. Plus their new Digs in the Hotel Vancouver are a great improvement. -

I'm not one to whine and moan about my issues, and you've already heard of my back maladies, but I haven't mentioned that they are no longer the issue they once were, due in part largely to Royal Centre Physiotherapy.
My Registered Physiotherapist and Certified Acupuncture Practitioner showed me basic but highly effective excercises that I could perform on my own in order to improve the condition of my back, and by gosh, they worked! I will admit it was not just the excercises. I had heard grand things about acupuncture's miracle work and decided to give it a go. Okay its a little uncomfortable, but not painful and seriously worth it, I can tell you its really the only thing that 'fixed' my condition and I've only been three times!
I very much appreciated the humane attention I was given from my therapist. I especially appreciated that my therapist gave me solutions to my problem instead of offering a one-off treatment option. -

I went to Royal Centre Physiotherapy today to begin treatment for an Achilles tendinitis I developed a month or so ago. I was recommended to go to this place by my friend Nelson D. and also by Yelper Mercedes G (after having read her review).
I made an appointment with Helen - we had e-mailed a few times before to come up with an appointment time and she always seemed nice and professional.
As soon as I walked in Helen made sure to make me feel comfortable while she asked me a bit more about my condition. She was gentle while going through some exercises and she asked me if it would be ok to do some acupuncture to help reduce the inflammation - I agreed as I had been treated with acupuncture before.
Helen asked me several times throughout the treatment if I felt any discomfort - but I really didn't - the whole process helped my muscles relax and by the end of the visit the intensity of my pain had reduced.
Helen also used some heating pads and cold electrodes to reduce the inflammation. Overall I was quite impressed with the process.
I would definitely recommend Royal Centre Physiotherapy for their great location, customer service, and the attentive bed-side manner of their therapists. -

Hi am a MOST enthusiastic patient at Sitka. I am a 46 yr old male who has seen many, many chiropractors, massage therapists, and Physiotherapists. I have been receiving the best treatments ever by Steve, and am getting wonderful treatment and exercise advice by him and the other staff. THANK YOU! I will refer EVERY ONE of my friends with aches and pains to Sitka. Steve has the healing touch. The fact that I feel like I'm walking into a Wallpaper* advert only adds to the spa-like experience. A Spa - Physio... Awesome work - and thanks!

I had a bad shin splint injury and decided to see Steve at Sitka. He was extremely helpful with my recovery- he knew exactly what my problem was and how to correct it. Along with acupuncture + massage therapy, he suggested a lot of different training exercises to target weak areas in my body which was great, since this will help long-term. I'm happy to say that my shins are feeling much better thanks to Steve!
