About a year ago I moved out of North Vancouver but still make the 45 minute drive to this clinic to be treated by Mike! Super knowledgeable, patient, and consistent- he has been a major part of my recovery over the last 4 years!

Sarah Lord Ferguson is both extremely knowledgeable and caring. Not only is she dedicated to professional competence, she is also intuitive, seeing healing through a whole person lens. She listens and applies practical suggestions to strengthen the body, but also feedback on other contributing factors. Sarah has the heart and the mind to help clients work through pains of all kinds, as the mind-body connection is so important for overall health. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah Lord Ferguson was key to my recovery after a recent leg injury. Her expertise with this specific injury was amazing, and she always showed great kindness and compassion during the PT sessions. It was very convenient to book in with Sarah and the front desk staff were always friendly and accommodating.
