Reviews of Kitsilano Physiotherapy Clinic (Chiropractor)

Jessica W. Noujeim

Fantastic staff, clean facility, super professional therapists. Reasonable price for the quality of service offered. I saw Igor for a number of athletic related injuries, and he treated me for those plus some chronic pains that he diagnosed the causes of. Went to see another physiotherapist and the quality was so much worse – I returned to Igor and wouldn't change!

Being treated at Kits Physio for Low back pain by therapist Mary Stern, and there is noticeable improvement after just 3 sessions. Clinic staff are very friendly , provide direct billing, and they have an easy to mange online booking system.

Shirley always listens to me about my aches and pains then provides me with exercises to help reduce them. She has reduced my back pain significantly, thank you, life is defiantly looking brighter ????

I had a shooting nerve pain from my back to my ankle that would become inflamed, sporadically. Dr. Shirley Estey identified the origin, and recommended IMS treatments which she administered. She also offered suggestions on ongoing exercises to ensure there was no stress or re-injury to the area treated. I have never had the same issue. Highly recommended.

JP Urry

One of the better clinics out there. Sarah was great at explaining the how and why on everything she did. Front desk staff were always pleasant and everything was always on time. Injuries are stressful. Rehab shouldn’t be. These guys were a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

This clinic offers many different kinds of physiotherapy. Each of their physical therapists is specialized in one or more specific clinical area(s). The typical appointment is 30 minutes long. You may be assigned some form of "homework", i.e. short and targeted daily physical exercises that will accelerate your healing. Originally, I wanted to receive physiotherapy treatment from the Vancouver General Hospital, but since it does not accept outside patients, one of its secretary recommended me Kitsilano Physiotherapy Clinic. I'm glad that I followed her recommendation. I also recommended this clinic.

Shirley Estey is very knowledgeable and professional. Her goals are attainable, and I already feel I’m making progress. I’ve never felt in better or more capable hands!

I went to Kitsilano Physiotherapy Clinic for a few months. After reading the great reviews and decided to give them a try and was happy to say they surpassed my expectations. Thank you to the therapists and staff at the clinic for bringing my body back to being pain free. 5 stars!!

I have been suffering from lower back pain for a few years now from a car accident and I have been looking for a physiotherapist for a long time that could help treat not only that but my consistent aches and pains from jiu jitsu and weightlifting. When I met Shirley, I was amazed at how indepth she understood my body just from the initial treatment. She was able to provide me with the necessary methods whether it was dry needling, ART, etc that helped reduce my pain in a much more timely manner than my previous therapists. She went through in detail all the exercises that would help strengthen and rehab those areas. I dont think I've ever met a therapist that cared as much as she did about my well being. On top of that, the rates were very fair for the service. It gives me more opportunity to come see her throughout the year, which is a life saver. If you have anything that has been bothering your body, kits physiotherapy clinic is the place to go. You wont regret it.

Ruth Norgaard, physiotherapist, has changed the qualify of my life. From a life coping with scoliosis related pain, to ease of movement and on-going quality. The treatment I have received at her hands has changed the way I see physiotherapy - not only as an important part of health treatment for pain, or injury recovery, but for me, it is also a way to maintain an active mobile life with no or reduced discomfort. She has a kind and professional demeanour and provides results on a first visit. I recommend her highly for the average person or for special cases of care.

I heard about Kitsilano Physio from a friend (and a client of the clinic) who raved about Shirley's abilities to heal and put the body back together. My friend was absolutely right. Shirley is an amazing physiotherapist; she helped me (through physical manipulations of the joint, acupuncture, and other physio-wizardry) get full mobility back after I dislocated my elbow. She also sent me home every week with daily exercises which helped me regain strength and flexibility quickly. Aside from my happiness with my treatment, the staff are extremely professional, helpful, and friendly. The clinic itself is clean, bright, and tidy. I have only great things to say about this clinic and have recommended it to at least ten people. The difficulty in getting an appointment is testament enough to the physios' popularity.

A great experience all around! I received everything I needed from Gail Mattuck, to heal a tough shoulder injury, and I always enjoyed our visits. Highly recommended!

Great physiotherapists and staff.

Alya Govorchin

I had my first appointment today with Shirley and WOW..she is fantastic. I got a very detailed diagnosis from her in about fifteen minutes. I am incredibly impressed with Shirley's knowledge and skill and she's wonderful to work with. The front desk associate whose name I did not catch was also lovely. Highly recommend coming here :)

Ian

A highly professional clinic. The team listens well, explains the therapies, and provides clear advice on next steps . Works with you not just "on" you.

Aliaksandr Slikeyeu

I was in a very bad car accident last year that left me with multiple injuries, which require prolonged physiotherapy treatment. I picked Kitsilano physiotherapy because it’s the closest to my place and I didn’t regret it for a moment. The clinic is conveniently located right on West Broadway at Bayswater right above Starbucks. All staff is very friendly and helpful, the facility is newly renovated and very clean. Mark Mandelstam is my physiotherapist and I can’t recommend him more. He created a program specifically tailored to my needs, provided me with a list of exercises to do at home. He includes massage and acupuncture as a part of his treatment as well as hydrotherapy. He speaks Russian and Hebrew in addition to English, very convenient as my first language is Russian. And I fell that he just genuinely cares about my health and me. Highly recommended!

Eamonn McKay

Great experience working with Gail to resolve a nagging shoulder injury. She has provided a lot of really helpful take-home exercises and stretches. Highly recommended.

Susannah M

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences here. Paul is really kind and takes the time to know you on a personal level, which I think is so important if you are dealing with chronic pain that is difficult to deal with mentally and psychologically. He takes the time to genuinely understand what your concerns are and works with you to figure out the best treatment plans accordingly. I spent a few months getting physio to treat some chronic and complicated issues. Then suddenly about half of the issues disappeared due to Paul's effective treatment. My hip mobility issues are completely gone now and so are issues pertaining to imbalances between my legs and hips.

Kasia M

As a physician, I highly recommend this clinic to my patients and to all my family and friends in need of physical therapy. The physiotherapists and team are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They provide excellent care and thoroughly consider their patients needs before implementing a course of treatment to make sure they have the best possible recovery. Some of the services they provide include, acupuncture, IMS/dry needling and hydrotherapy (physiotherapy in the water). One of the physiotherapists, Shirley, is very competent and caring toward all her patients. She always takes her time addressing the problem and providing the best possible care. I've sent several of my patients and family members to Shirley. Overall, the physiotherapists are great. You are in good hands when you go to this clinic.

Lauchlan M

Excellent staff who, over the years, have helped me recover from a wide variety of injuries and have given advice to prevent those (and other) injuries.

Linda Barber

Always the consummate professional, Shirley has been instrumental in helping my chronic pain.

Kate Patterson

I've been seeing Shirley Estey for a number of years now. She has helped me with more running injuries than I can count. She is amazing! and always takes the time to explain everything so I understand what I need to do to get better.

Detlef Holberg

Thanks Gail for treating me so well, you were very clear and supportive in all of our sessions and I would highly recommend you to others. Cheers and all the best Detlef

There are alot of physiotherapy clinics in Kitsalano that are closer to me, but I read several Online reviews about this clinic and decided to try it, I'm glad I did. The staff are professional and pleasant, and the clinic is clean and sanitary and the clients are spaced so there is no contact between them. My therapist, Shirley, is understanding and knows what therapy I need whether it's ultrasound, tens, exercises and /or a heat treatment. I am really appreciative that I chose Kitsilano Physio. For my therapy, Lucy C.
