I have been seeing Kevin Tam for the last seven years. He's an excellent physiotherapist!!! Anytime I thought I was going to be in pain forever, he was able to fix me right up! Coral has helped me as well with my IT band issues. I've seen Diane for pelvic floor and I was able to finally get my pelvic floor fixed. I also see Marc for RMT, stand up guy! I always feel so relaxed after massages. The front desk staff are rock stars; managing the front desk and answering calls. I really recommend this clinic!

Report
Kevin Tam treated me for a pinched nerve in May/June 2021. The pain radiated from my shoulder blade down my forearm, and was excruciating. I thought it was an issue with my shoulder, but because of Kevin's experience in this area, he diagnosed it as a pinched nerve in my neck. He treated me for about 6 weeks, and I feel 100% now. Kevin is super knowledgeable, very caring & understanding. I highly recommend his physio services. Thank you Kevin!

Elliot is an incredible physiotherapist. He takes the time to listen and not only provides thoughtful feedback and treatment but explains, in layman's terms, all aspects of your injury and recovery process. He's personable and has a deep understanding of just about every sport. Highly recommended!
