I am an experienced Massage Therapist and have worked with Olympic athletes with some of the best Physical Therapists in the business internationally much of my career, helping them to get back to their optimal condition following an injury. After moving back to Vancouver I had to seek a very qualified Physical Therapist having had ACL reconstruction to one of my knees and a serious hamstring injury myself.
With my professional background, you probably guessed I am extremely picky about who works on me. Finding Peter Curtain and Dunbar Physiotherapy has been a huge relief. He has brought me into a place with both injuries where I feel not only back to my old self again but better. This is probably the best thing you could hear about a PT. This and the fact that Peter also takes into account 'how you are doing' and really cares, an extremely important aspect of rehabilitation whether you are a professional athlete or an active person who wants to stay that way. Also, when I ruptured my hamstring just a month ago, Peter knew the Sports Medicine doc I was referred to at UBC and immediately communicated not only with him but also with some people to help me rehab. He is on the ball. I could tell how much the doc respected Peter's professional opinion.
My daughter also went to him for over a year, often flying from the Island to see Peter after being in a serious accident in Vancouver where someone rammed-T boned her car at high speed just after she finished nursing school. It was traumatic and her injury kept her from working which was hugely psychologically challenging. She was in quite severe pain that wasn't going away in her back..... Peter worked so diligently to help her get out of pain both though his own practice and helping her to find the right team to guide her rehabilitation. At one point he was the only one who could relieve her pain with his techniques. Happily, almost two years after the accident, with Peters and others assistance, she is doing so much better and has her first nursing job! I can't tell you how relieved I am as a Mom to have had Peter and the rest of my daughters medical team working with her. He was a vital component of both my daughters and my recovery.
