Donata GvPlaten-Hallermund

Bryn is an excellent physio. Thorough, thoughtful, realistic, and encouraging. I have seen him multiple times for different things and will continue to see him for any future concerns. Highly recommend!

C. Kirkpatrick

Friendly, personable staff. Great service. Very careful to observe Covid precautions. Would definitely go there again.

Ryan Thompson

I had pain, had acupuncture, I saw Bryn, and the general numbness was gone within days. It came back, so I saw him again and it was gone within days yet again. The more I go back, the more the pain disappears. I feel great now, and this physiotherapy clinic is the only one in Nanaimo I will go to, I will not trust the others.

Valerie Little

Highly recommend. Always get you in quickly, easy to book appts, they take good care of you!

Excellent work performed by my therapist at this clinic.Although relief is only temporary it is a nice break from my chronic backpain that I hsve been suffering with for the past 4 years.

Alyssa Croft (adventurewiththetwin)

Loved every minute of my massage that Alyssa provided. Very personable and shared great laughs. Will be back for sure!

The best Physiotherapy. After having spinal surgery I had Shane and Michael for my rehabilitation, You get treated very well with individual attention unlike other institutions where you are just a number and a dollar sign. If you need physio, you owe it to yourself to have the best,

I did Physio for my lower back with Dustin Richter and he went above and beyond every expectation I ever had. He was friendly, he explained and discussed everything clearly, he listened to my needs, and he found the most effective treatment methods for me. He even went out of his way to do things for me that I never would have expected him to do. The reception is also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and understanding. I couldn't recommend Brickyard Physiotherapy enough.

James Holland

Great hours of availability. Dustin did a really good job of working with me and my difficult situation. Not only did he help to ease my pain, he gave me the tools to keep myself in better condition to hopefully prevent re-injury in the future. I will be recommending Brickyard Physio to anyone who asks.

Gillian Goerzen

I've been a patient at Brickyard physio for 3 years.I've used both physiotherapy & massage therapy services. The staff & practitioners there are kind, thoughtful & thorough. The individual care they give each of their patients is extraordinary. I highly recommend this clinic and especially Jennifer Van Bergen for physiotherapy!

Penny Caven

Dustin Richter has provided thoughtful assessment and care, working collaboratively with amazing results.

Kim Dowson

Always a good experience, skilled physiotherapists on hand. IMS treatments do wonders for painful muscles.

Dave McIver

Brickyard Physio is fantastic! Bryn is an excellent therapist and all of the staff are friendly and efficient.

Clean, professional and friendly. I am always at ease discussing my health and needs. I was unable to maintain “normal” life activities without pain. IMS and Massage changed that. I am able to work hard and play for fun, couldn’t do without. Thanks Bryn and the clinic staff for keeping me moving????

Deirdre G

Awesome, knowledgeable staff, and very accommodating. I needed an emergency visit, and was slotted in right away - twice! Thanks Shane!

Richard McBride

I am a professional figure skater and actor/ singer/ dancer. My physical well being is crucial to my work and performance levels. As I approach 50 years, it is essential that I honour the regime of body maintenance... through exercise, meditation, chiropractic, massage, rest... I carefully seek out practitioners who I consider part of my “maintenance crew”. The past summer I dove into the exhilarating challenge of competing in figure skating at the Gay Games - coming home with a Gold & Silver medal. That said...while there have been many ice shows under my belt... it's only been 31 years since I competed.. and I did overwork a hamstring. To be frank, in the past I have not been a fan of traditional physio therapy for ongoing neck/ back issues ( foriminal narrowing) .... yet I have found Bryn and his IMS treatments to be revolutionary in my approach & process of well being & performance - providing relief and facilitating healing. Now if he would just also open a location in Victoria!

Gary Baker

Dr. Tierney Glenn treat me for a tailbone injury and I was totally impressed. Her treatments work extremely well and she was amazing. She knew what she was doing, explained the treatments, easily communicated and answer all questions and made me feel comfortable, always. I would recommend her to anyone.

Doreen McKechnie

Very caring group. Friendly staff, very professional, offering options for the patient's condition and for the betterment of wellbeing. Highly recommend.

Graeme Parker

Bryn has been great to deal with and has helped me make steady progress with my ankle sprain. He definitely knows his stuff!

Jacqueline Salvino

If you are looking for a professional, well-researched, and experience treatment regime, I highly recommend Dustin Richter. He is genuinely one of the best physiotherapists in Nanaimo. Cannot recommend Dustin and the team at Brickyard enough!

Katherine Boere

Love this place! Shane Gill has been my physio for years, and for good reason. He is a highly knowledgeable physiotherapist that genuinely cares about his clients and works hard to find the root of the issue. I never hesitate to refer clients, family, and friends his way!

Niloufar Mahmoudi

My physic was Shane Gill. I did not have a good experience. He has zero relational practice. He did not explain to me the procedure and made me so uncomfortable. When he was done with the procedure without telling anything he would leave the room and outside the door would say bye. He performed acupuncture 6to 7 sessions and every time I left the clinic with tears. I didn’t know if this was normal but he did not give me any explanations. After talking to several other physiotherapist they said that this was not normal. Last session I could not breath because of the pain. I did not get better and I don’t recommend this physio.

Samantha Rotstein

My career in dental hygiene has led to ongoing issues with chronic back/neck pain. IMS therapy with Bryn Edwards has provided me with much needed muscle relief and most importantly, allowed me to continue to work full time! Brickyard Physio's extended hours are great for my busy schedule.

Julia Stuckenberg

I went to see Dustin and I was amazed at how thorough and interested to hear all my issues he was. There was never a doubt that he was actually listening to what I was saying (as some doctors seem bored). He remembered all my issues and touched base on everything after my long explanation, and actually got me to try the stretches and exercises for a good few minutes to make sure I was doing them correctly or if I needed to alter them because of pains. I keep telling everyone I know that I wished I started going there way sooner and that I never expected it to be so helpful!

Conan MacGregor

I have had ongoing issues with my shoulder for many years, Bryn Edwards has addressed my shoulder specifically as well all other nagging, physical problems. My personal preference is Intra-Muscular Stimulation (IMS) over massage therapy and Bryn is a master with the needles. His knowledge of how the body acts and reacts is second to none. I highly recommend this clinic.

Mel H

Jennifer VanBergen worked tirelessly with me to help me through my pain. We not only corrected the issue, but I was given exercises and stretches to help maintain my health. I had never received IMS treatment before and Jennifer thoroughly explained the process and helped me understand what we were doing and my role in it, so that I could have the best possible outcome. I have and will continue to recommend Jennifer at Brickyard Physio.

M Guinn

I had high hopes based on the reviews but after 3 appointments (initial visit plus 2 subsequent visits), I had to switch since my shoulder was getting noticeably worse. The appointments are only scheduled for 20 minutes, which is already pretty short, but my therapist was always late, so my actual appointment was only 10-12 minutes (I timed them).. and within those 10 minutes, he would leave for about 3-5 minutes to get items he needed. The appointments were very rushed and he gave me general exercises to do without giving me much guidance. I switched clinics and my new physiotherapist checked exactly which muscles needed work and gave me very specific, focussed exercises. He also had me do them in front of him and pointed out when I compensated with the wrong muscles. I now realize this is why I was getting worse at brickyard, because I was using the wrong muscles and increasing the imbalance. I only wish I had switched sooner!!

Nina Rennie

Shane is professional and really takes it to another level trying his best to get to the root and source of the issue. 10/10

Colin Nickel

Everyone is extremely nice! They'll take care of you well. Dustin is a fantastic physio, and just as great of a person. Would recommend highly!

Mike Camilleri

Great staff, great service!

Carolyn Parks

From Glenn and Carolyn Parks. The staff are all friendly and helpful and Shane explained things and did a great job with my therapy. Thanks.

Jane Osborne

Terrific clinic. Great therapists and admin staff.

Lori Ovens

I am impressed with my physiotherapist Nicki especially compared to experiences at a different clinic. She gives me great targeted exercises and massage therapy. She makes good use of time during our appointment and I think she is very knowledgeable, well educated, and dedicated in her field of work.

Raymon McDonald

My Experience at Brickyard Physiotherapy Clinic has been welcoming and therapeutic in my recovery after a serious rear end car collision. The therapist I see seem to be knowledgeable about my injuries and which approach to address in my recovery. Both Shane and Colby are awesome. I cannot finish without stating how friendly and respectful the ladies who greet and schedule appointments are. Raymon (Ray) McDonald Since October 2020 Thank you!

Sean Moore

Dustin was Great - took the time to address my issue properly.

I went to see Shane Gill at Brickyard after a minor motorcycle accident. Shane was professional, courteous and effective. My accident really impacted my ability to train, but the physio I received at Brickyard cut my rehab time significantly.

I’ve gone to this clinic for a couple of years and have been totally thrilled with the results. Brynn is excellent and really knows his stuff. Very knowledgeable, courteous and professional staff. I would recommend Brickyard Physio to anyone.

Exceptional treatment with measurable results including being provided great explanations and recommended exercises. Staff is very friendly and professional, and accommodating when making appointments.

Jenn L

Bryn was recommended to me by my old physio in Vancouver, and he helped me get back to running pain-free. He's super personable, reassuring, and patient, took my concerns seriously, and never made me feel dumb or bad when I had trouble explaining my symptoms or was worried about my progress. The front staff are also really pleasant and made scheduling and payment a breeze. I highly recommend this clinic!

Nicole Tilley

I saw Jennifer for physiotherapy towards the end of my pregnancy for hip pain. She was very helpful and thorough in her treatment plans, definitely helped ease the pain as much as possible

Kelly Simister

Always great service! Would highly recommend!

Janet Edwards

I have been a client of Shane Gill Physiotherapist for the past eight months due to a motor vehicle accident. He has been wonderful and extremely professional with all my concerns. My whole experience has been one of gratitude for all my therapy sessions. Thank you Shane you are amazing! I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone. From the front desk staff who are the most friendliest Ladies, always willing to go go that extra mile when making appointments, in the most professional manner! As I'm sure you can see, I am absolutely happy with my experience! Thank you all.

Linda Correy

My appointment with Shane Gill was excellent. He spent the time which allowed me to understand how I can best care for my issue moving forward. As well the actual treatment was first rate, I would highly recommend both Shane and Brickyard Physio.

Frank Dalziel

Exceptional service, treatment and advice for my lower back injury. Everyone from the receptionists to the therapists are very friendly and helpful. I’d highly recommend this practice.

John Hawkins

Bryn is amazing. Always helpful, very knowledgeable and friendly. Couldn’t recommend him more. Front staff very friendly, great about helping fit me in when there’s a cancellation.

Glenn Harvey

I visited the clinic this morning and was very impressed with the organizing and thoroughness to ensure the safety of patients. The new instructions and procedures are explained in detail. The atmosphere is calming and ensuring. Don't hesitate to visit. the clinic.

russell slone

I came to see Bryn in 2012 after having had to leave my career as a carpenter due to nerve/tendon issues. I had exhausted options of dealing with the pain and continuous discomfort. I am proud to say that now, in 2019, I am once again a carpenter. I would recommend Bryn to anyone suffering from chronic body pains. His whole staff are warm and professional people, like himself. I would not have my career back if it were not for Bryn’s care.

Gregory Wooster

I was very impressed with the care and precautions Brickyard Physio has undertaken in the face of COVID. So thoughtful and safe! Bryn Edwards and staff were very attentive and caring through the course of my treatment for recovery from my car accident. I'd highly recommend the physiotherapists or massage therapists at Brickyard!

TJ Fisher

I went to see Jennifer Van Bergen to help treat a sports injury. The rehabilitation was excellent. She gave stretches and exercises for each stage of the treatment, thoroughly explained and demonstrated each one. Thanks to her expertise I was able to race pain free.

Nancy Lefeaux

When I came to Brickyard I was a senior with a broken body and debilitating chronic pain. I was waiting to see a doctor at the pain clinic. I had tried so many different therapies for relief and did a lot of my own body work and relaxation. Bryn Edwards suggested IMS and it worked like magic for me. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I am basically pain free. I hike and bike ride and see Bryn every couple of months for a tune-up.

AB Stewart

Very knowledgeable, proficient and friendly staff with all Co-Vid protocols in place. Send email & phone reminders for all appts that I find very helpful. Highly recommend them.

Charlotte M

I saw Shane at Brickyard Physiotherapy for treatment of injuries to my neck and lower back. His application of IMS (dry needling) was instrumental in my recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend Shane as a Physiotherapist, not only for his excellent critical thinking and clinical skills, but also for his pragmatic approach to rehabilitation and exercise. His advice on home exercises and postural cues were key to my successful return to the activities that I love. Thank you Shane!

Ted James

Shoulder pain and weakness is gone. Dr Glenn identified the problem, explained what it was, then basically massaged and wrestled my shoulder back into a full range of motion. The exercises she gave me, to do at home, have maintained it that way since. Being pain free is good.

Frank E. Lancaster

If you want results, look no further then Brickyard Physiotherapy and physiotherapist extraordinaire, Shane Gill. Due to a serious heel injury and surgery many years ago, I have required treatments several times a year in order to continue to run and live an active life. So, when I moved to Nanaimo in 2014, I immediately felt fortunate to discover Brickyard Physiotherapy. Since then, overall client experience has been 5/5, with everything from scheduling appointments to the attentiveness and care Shane has provided consistently. Upon entering the clinic, one is greeted warmly by the friendly front-desk staff, who can also assist with booking appointments that match one’s schedule. Shane has consistently been on time for appointments, and more importantly his treatments have remained extremely effective. In addition, he is a true professional, as well as caring, efficient, respectful and personable. He has also continued to spend valuable time providing me with exercises and encouragement, and has been instrumental in keeping me active and helping me maintain my exercise and running program. In summary, I’ve had nothing but good experiences at Brickyard, and couldn’t be happier with both my physiotherapist and the wonderful staff who are committed to helping clients get better and achieve their goals.

Celeste Vidal

I enjoyed very much the massage I had from Tiffany. I would love to encourage others to go if they need help or just something that feels so good.

Jenn Schroeder

I'm thoroughly impressed with the care I received from Dustin for my back pain; his assessment was very thorough, he took into account my personal goals, and took the time to explain to me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. I'm back on my mountain bike, pain-free, thanks to him! I would highly recommend seeing Dustin, and would not hesitate to send my friends and family to Brickyard as well.
