Other physio clinics should look at this place and copy them! I used to think all physio did was use heat pads and machines. The physios here actually spend the full appointment with you and teach things! Amazing

I thought physio didn't work until I found this place. They don't just stick a buzzy machine on you and walk away. Expect to work to get better. I won't go anywhere else!

I started at Westcoast SCI in February 2020 and enjoyed my sessions at the studio. Stefanie was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable about my injuries. With Covid-19 I was apprehensive of continuing with tele-rehab but now that I have completed 7 online sessions I am very happy we stuck to it. With having limited equipment at home Stefanie was very innovative in suggesting household items as alternatives. I highly recommend Stefanie for anyone looking for an active rehab practitioner.

I’m surprised there are not more physiotherapy clinics who operate like this. You can tell that the therapists there are caring and knowledgeable. You’re never left on your own with a heat pad and buzzy machine. I’d highly recommend coming here for your treatment over anyone else.

The Myth:
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common types of arthritis. When our joints rub against each other, it is protected by cushion-like cartilage that absorbs shock. With repetition, the cartilage begins to wear away. 

Swipe ⬅️ to see how many Canadians believe that running would aggravate existing knee osteoarthritis.
