Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual therapy techniques with customized exercise programs to treat musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions. Specialized treatments address neck/back pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Therapists develop personalized recovery plans incorporating joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and progressive strengthening exercises. We serve patients recovering from motor vehicle accidents through SGI/WCB programs and provide prehabilitation strategies to prevent future injuries. Treatment protocols follow evidence-based practices while maintaining individualized care for optimal functional recovery.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic services focus on musculoskeletal health through joint manipulation and soft tissue therapies. Our chiropractor treats low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries using manual adjustments combined with rehabilitative exercises. Treatment plans address biomechanical imbalances affecting posture and movement patterns. We manage conditions related to whiplash, repetitive strain injuries, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Care extends to special populations including athletes, pregnant women, and seniors, with treatment approaches tailored to individual health status and activity levels.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needle insertion to stimulate natural healing processes and pain relief. This evidence-based therapy addresses chronic pain, inflammation, and soft tissue injuries through neurophysiological mechanisms. Treatments follow modern anatomical principles while maintaining traditional Chinese medicine foundations. Common applications include managing arthritis pain, headaches, and sports-related muscle strains. Sessions integrate with other rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy employs various techniques to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance recovery. Treatments address conditions like migraines, frozen shoulder, and repetitive strain injuries through targeted soft tissue manipulation. Therapists use both general relaxation techniques and specific trigger point therapy to relieve localized and referred pain patterns. Sessions incorporate postural assessment and self-care recommendations to maximize therapeutic benefits and prevent symptom recurrence.
Neurofascial Release
This specialized technique improves flexibility and joint function by addressing fascial restrictions through precise manual therapy. Treatment targets connective tissue tightness caused by aging, inactivity, or repetitive movements that contribute to joint pain and limited mobility. Effective for neck, shoulder, hip, and knee conditions, this approach enhances athletic performance while serving as preventive care against adaptive tightness. Sessions combine manual release techniques with movement retraining to maintain long-term mobility improvements.

Report
I had an excruciating back pain around early November 2021 and used several medications even visited Chiropractor, yet the pain grew worse over time to the extent that I couldn't do most of my daily routine activities. However, I visited Mackie Physiotherapy and met Regan in December. He thoroughly asked me several questions during my first appointment and one thing that endeared him to me was his knowledge, friendliness and empathy. He told me from the get go that his goal is to gradually reduce the pain and eventually eliminate it.. After my third visit and following his recommended exercises

I saw Mat Palmer over the summer about some limited shoulder mobility and pain. Over the course of a couple months, we were able to get my shoulder to a point where I no longer have restricted movement or pain. Mat was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and above all - effective. Throughout my treatment, Mat never once encouraged me to stop lifting weights, only recommending against movements that specifically caused pain. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of care provided by Mat Palmer and Mackie Physiotherapy as a whole.

I was in a car accident and injured my back and neck. I had been seeing a different physiotherapist and not seeing results when Mat Palmer was recommended by a family member. I was very impressed with Mat's treatment plan, and genuine concern for my health to improve. He gave a great treatments and simple ideas for exercise to do at home. I saw much better results and improved tremendously. Thanks Mat!

Rob Cutting is a committed professional. As a Chiropractor, he listens and carefully, assesses needs and possible procedures, before carrying them out. His adjustments are on point and such a relief. Rob is humble and friendly. It is always a pleasure to attend an appointment with such a knowledgeable Chiropractor! Mackie Physiotherapy is a high end establishment with caring and committed therapists.

Mackie Physio and Mat Palmer have truly changed my life. After injuring my hip while running and being unable to run without intense pain, I was referred to Mackie. I was very apprehensive at first, thinking that the pain would eventually fix itself. Mat eased my nerves by taking time to listen to my concerns, was easy to talk to and was very good at communicating how my hip pain was affecting the rest of my body and my running. Throughout my time with Mackie, Mat has built my confidence, physical ability and strength with the different exercises and personalized treatment plan that he has created

After dealing with chronic migraines for months and trying many different treatments, I saw Tyler Lang to see what he could do to help. Within a couple of appointments there was a huge improvement in the severity of them that no other treatment provided. Tyler truly goes above and beyond to provide the best care possible and is incredibly knowledgeable with diagnosing and treating all problem areas. With the collaboration of Blaine as well they have helped me in ways I couldnt even imagine were possible and am so thankful for their help! All of the staff at both locations are pleasant to deal

I am a big advocate for physio therapy and cannot recommend Mackie Physiotherapy (and my favourite physio therapist Nadia) enough to everyone when the subject comes up! Nadia has helped me progress so much from when I first started seeing her. Her endless patience and humour is definitely appreciated. And if you are looking for a great massage therapist, Devan is fantastic over at the Evergreen location! I strongly recommend both of these highly skilled women.
