Reviews of Lifemark Sport Medicine Canada Games Centre (Massage Therapist)

Christina Walker

This location is excellent! The staff are very kind, polite, and organized. I have been seeing Sophia (a massage therapist) at this location regularly for a little over a year and she has helped me greatly with the back pain I face as someone who sits at a computer desk for the majority of the day. I highly recommend this location to anyone who is seeking the services they offer!

Best clinic I have been to in HRM. Conveniently located, it is also efficiently run, has a very welcoming staff as soon as you walk in, is clean, has plenty of parking, and my appointments always start on time. My chiropractor Chuck Dauphinee is so friendly, very knowledgeable and I look forward to my appointments with him. I find my treatment is very effective and it has greatly improved my overall movement. I highly recommend this Lifemark Clinic.

Our whole family sees Gillian Lirette for physiotherapy. We've only ever had fantastic care from Gillian and the staff at the reception desk. There's lots of parking, and a variety of appointment times that fit into our busy schedules.

After well over a year being off work with a back injury with the Fire Dept, I tried physio and chiro here and there but no with real organized program. After my back surgery in January I was skeptical that physio would help me at all but through my work they set me up with Mark and Alex and Lifemark. Both of them are super knowledgeable and enthusiastic therapists and through a 7-week rehabilitation program I learned this first hand. Alex is there kinesiologist on staff and through his progressive coaching and training, I not only learned how to do exercises properly (since I've been lifting the wrong way for YEARS) but I learned a few things I never thought I could do. Who would have thought he could get someone to the level of doing freakin handstands not even 3 months after a disc surgery?? With a well thought out, progressive program we were able to do just that. After Alex would finish really challenging me in the gym, Mark would be there to make sure everything was running smoothly, check my mobility, loosen up my back if it was stiff in any places and keep me on track for the next session. All in all this was an amazing experience and program. The two of them are great to talk to and I really couldn't be where I am now without them. After only a few days after my program had ended (and only a few days over a month since my back surgery) I was cleared to take my "fit for duty" assessment and completely destroyed it! Now I could be back to fighting fires in a matter of weeks so I fantc thank Lifemark enough for everything. If I ever happen to get injured again (I really hope not) I know exactly where I'm requesting to be sent and I'll be recommending this place every chance I can!

I can't say enough good things about Lifemark at Canada Games Centre. I've been going over 18 months for various treatments for chronic issues. I've been to countless clinics and this is one I'm going to stick with. Currently seeing Jen Jackson (massage, couldn't ask for better treatment or personality ), and Linda (concussion physio, really knows her stuff and up to date on knowledge). I've also seen Alex (kinesiologist - patient, knowledgeable, motivational) for an extended period of time. The front staff are extremely polite, professional, and go out of their way (especially Susan!!! Thanks Susan). Zero complaints, lots of improvement, great to deal with. Their people really know their stuff. Very Veteran friendly. Highly recommend.

Emma Dain

I had a past fall of a horse a few years ago and still had pain so i went to see Sophia and she was absolutely amazing. It was my first massage and she made me feel so comfortable, very low stress and professional. Cannot recommend her enough!

Zena Rice

Love Lifemark...awesome therapist and great staff...very clean and welcoming..

Michele Mockler

I went in to the Lifemark Sports Medicine Clinic for a massage on Dec. 27th, for the first time. I was treated by Nathan Ells who was absolutely incredible. He was also professional and passionate about his job. I have been competing in many sports for decades and have had to get many massage treatments. I can honestly say that Nathan is one of the best out there and I will definitely be back for more appointments. Thank you!

Tasha Myra

Everyone was amazing. I had excellent service and results. Gillian (physiotherapist)was awesome and Alex was an amazing kinesiologist he helped me a lot and gave me the knowledge and tools to help me progress on my own.

Roy Liu

People are nice and helpful

Lydia MacIsaac

Felt a million times better after having my tfl treated. The dry needling really worked and a helpful takeaway tip.

Nicole Desgrosseilliers

The front desk staff are ALWAYS friendly and ready to assist and I highly recommend my Physio Therapist Mark. I trust him completely and is always helpful in finding new exercises or stretches to help me get stronger.

Shawna Burgess

I've been a patient of this location for several years now. I really appreciate the "one stop" health care that this location can offer and health care specialties each professional there has. I am not a sport player, coach or even much of a watcher. Don't let the title of "Sport Medicine" keep you from trying them out. Their expertise may be sport medicine but it only makes them better at what they do.

Lindsay Giles

My team at Lifemark CGC is truly the A team! Between Alex, Chuck, Stephanie and Mark I am back on track after my car accident.

Crestienne Benoit

I started coming to lifemark initially for physiotherapy. My physiotherapist is Nick, he is always incredible to work with he's very knowledgeable and really takes his time to make sure you understand what you need to be doing for home care. I also recently started seeing one of their RMTs, Jenn. She is great! She was very easy to open up to and made me feel comfortable and completely relaxed. All of the staff is friendly, definitely an estblishment that I will be recommending to others. Also special shout out to Christine, for always providing entertainment while I wait for my appointment ????

Wylie Redmond

This team is the best! Fantastic and professional.

Lynda Singer

I have had neck and shoulder pain on and off for several years caused by a fall and overuse of muscles, particularly on my left side. Linda always knows how to target the actual source of the discomfort and does a great job of alleviating the pain and gives me the exercises necessary to strengthen the weakened muscles.

Lindsay Head

Great staff!

Lianne Leslie

I've gone to Lifemark for two separate issues for physio and both times everyone was so great. Very friendly and helpful. Also, it's right across the street from where I live so very convenient for me. I'll definitely be going back for other services.

Lauren Powell

I went to see Sophia for a massage. Would not recommend. Unprofessional and I would say she’s pushing her customers to write reviews. What I experienced wasn’t pleasant.

Wendy Clarke

My recent visit at Lifemark Sport Medicine Clinic was extremely pleasant. I met with Paul to get an opinion on orthotics. He was very thorough in his assessment process and the examination went very well. He took the necessary time to explain why I am having problems with my achilles tendon and provided his opinion on why he felt I would resolve my situation if I decided to purchase the orthodics. There was absolutely no pressure to buy them, which was great. Once I left the office, I felt very positive with my decision to order them and will meet with Paul again once the order arrives at the clinic. All in all, the experience has been very good and I would recommend the clinic to anyone in need of the services they offer.

Colleen Baker

Ive been receiving treatment here for 2 different accidents over the past 2 years, the staff(front end included) are truly amazing, they go above and beyond and really make sure you get the treatment you need and on the mend as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Lifemark Clayton Park to anyone in need!

Hossein Abolghasem

Sessions are shorter than other physiotherapy services that I have used before and charges are 10% more. I like the fact that they offer complementary coffee/tea to the patients. I also appreciate the fact that I can make my own bookings online and receive a reminder text messages for my booked times. The personnel are professionals and courteous.

Dylan Victor

I am a medically released veteran who experiences chronic pain, along with other medical issues. Ever since I started here it has been a positive experience. All the staff there are wonderful, professional, competent and supportive. More specifically; Sophia (RMT), Jen (RMT), Alex (Kinesiologist), Mark (Physiotherapist) and Chuck (Chiropractor) have been doing an excellent job helping me recover from my service related injuries. As well, all the front desk staff are kind, caring, understanding and put up with my nonsense. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who needs these kinds of treatments or any other of the services this establishment provides as I am sure the rest of the staff whom I do not see are just as great.

Joshua Madgett

Lifemark has been amazing to me for quite some time now. My therapist Sophia helped me through some back pain due to swimming, and I've never felt better! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone due to their friendly staff and great service!

Sam Chafe

Friendly and welcoming staff

Cindy MacNeill

I love Canada Games Centre and throughout my time training there I was introduced to Life Mark. I've attended for massage, physio with Amiee Lee and to see pedorthist Paul Makinen and they were all fantastic. Great service, very professional, dedicated to their clients and enjoyable to be around. Thanks for all you do!

Elizabeth Sutherland PTA

Love Lifemark Sports at the Canada Games Centre!!! Staff was more than accommodating, friendly and very professional. My physiotherapist, Gillian Lynch, has worked her magic on me more than once! She helped me get back running by using various therapeutic techniques...I couldn't have asked for a faster turnaround time after injury. Gill you are an expert in your field! You rock!!

Jennifer MacDougall

I recently was fitted and purchased custom made Orthotics from Paul Makinen at LifeMark and am very satisfied with not only the product , but the process of being fitted. Paul is very skilled and uses the latest technology to take accurate measurements. The quality of the final product is superb. I would highly recommend seeing Paul at LifeMark for your Orthotic needs.

Leah Walsh

I had sudden onset vertigo with associated oscillopsia and nausea. Linda (vestibular physio) was absolutely incredible! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. I cannot imagine being able to return to work or my daily activities without Linda’s therapeutic managements.

Terri Harlow

The Staff made me feel very welcome. My physiotherapist, Linda MacLaggan, was fantastic and is totally responsible for returning me to health after a scary and sudden attack of vertigo that was unrelenting until Linda's treatment. She gave me tools to help cope with dizziness and the anxiety that can make these events worse.

Greg Channer

Always friendy professional service. I look forwards to the massages that I get on a regular basis by the very knowledgeable kind professionals. Their flexibility and focus with care on locations and pressure depending on my concerns is very much appreciated.

Terrance Purchase

My massage therapist Jennifer Jackson is awesome in all areas and a genuine great person. Veteran friendly and up to date on new treatment strategies. There is no drama or bs with this provider. Book today if you want a massage that works for you.

Marion Phillips

This clinic is wonderful. The reception is very welcoming and professional. Allison my massage therapist is amazing and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this clinic to any of my friends and family.

K Dugas

Denyse Rodrigues

Friendly, professional and attentive staff and therapists. They know their stuff!

City Pet Tags

It takes time to recover from injuries, as we age. The kin and physio team has helped greatly. I have been to other clinics and it really comes down to this location, who gave me the best results. Thanks kin and physio team. I recommend talking to alex and danielle...

Elizabeth Sexton

The staff were great with my 9yo daughter and completely cured her lower back pain through strengthening exercise. I will definitely go back if physiotherapy is needed for our family.

David Michael

Excellent service rendered. My fiance was very happy with the service she got.

Kirsten Compart

Everyone here is very knowledgable and I love that I can go to one place for all my needs

ted carroll

I had Candace Brown to help me get my core back to top form she was amazing she kept it fun while getting it done she was awesome Also on another note Mark Hansen the best of the best. He has helped me out of some very difficult times and has me feeling great after I was released keep up up the top notch physio good work

andy macdougall

I recently needed new orthotics. Paul Makinen provided a top notch assessment and services using current technology and techniques. His customer service, education and experience on foot issues, gate issues, types of orthotics, types of shoes and what was the best fit for me was first rate. I highly recommend Paul if you are in need of orthotics or have feet issues.

Raymonde Poirier

I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Paul Makinen by my osteopath, Julie d'Entremont ! Outstanding service by the whole staff ! Looking forward to receiving my new orthotics ! YaY !!!

Meghan Smith

I refer many people to this clinic!! Great staff!!

Great staff at this Lifemark location! Staff is very friendly - from the front desk to the therapists. I have had Chiro treatments and received custom orthotics and have nothing but good things to say about the services!

andrew johnston

Many great Lifemarks across this is not one of them. Plenty to choose from pick a different one.

Naomi Pearson

I was in a bad car accident back in February and was referred to Lifemark... they are incredible! From the friendly and caring Admin staff, to my Physio Therapist Linda, my Massage Therapist Sophia, Gabrielle managing my case... and of course the always helpful Dave... they've all been incredible in helping me get my life back. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today without them- thank you so much!!!

Mildred Hare

my Physio Mark is wonderful to work with. Excellent experience. Supportative staff.

Susan Bolton

I attended physiotherapy sessions with Linda MacLaggan starting February 2020. Since then Linda has provided the most competent and appropriate treatment for my complaint. Linda quickly diagnosed the problem and began treatment. She explained clearly what was was the problem, and what and why the treatment needed to be done and the likely duration of the treatment. She was absolutely correct , and there has been considerable improvement in my health. As soon as I met and spoke with Linda, i knew I was dealing with an experienced and competent physiotherapist. I felt absolutely confident that she could help me. And she has done just that. Linda is the ultra professional. First of all, the treatment is succeeding, and I am feeling better. The procedures were explained in language easy to understand and Linda’s friendly and kind manner put me at ease. One of Linda’s clients recommended her to me. Their doctor was amazed at their patient’s recovery after serious surgery. That was a lucky day for me. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who needs such care.

Juanita Bruff

Simply amazing, I've been to so many places, without much luck before someone recommended Lifemark to me. Everyone I've dealt with here, the front desk staff/therapists/kinesiologist have been incredible, very knowledgeable, kind and so helpful. Most recently been working with Alex (kinesiologist), so brilliant, made me feel comfortable from the start and really really helped me. Alex's is pure sunshine. No matter what your particular concern is I highly recommend Lifemark at the Canada Games Center. You won't be disappointed.

nathan ells

Terrific team of knowledgeable clinicians and welcoming administrators. Spread the word, Sophia Shanks: Massage Therapy legend!! Don't forget to see Dr. Chuck(les) as well for an adjustment. Love these humans.

Jude Rice

I saw this when searching my computer and I would like to send in a few comments to say how impressed I am with the health care my family received from Physiotherapist Gillian Lirette. Not only did she know her job she and the other members of the Lifemark staff were very professional which creates a comfortable feeling for patients. Thank-you Gillian and Lifemark!

Beatrice Kennard

This was my very first experience with Physiotherapy ever in my life. It was such a pleasant one. The front staff are always courteous and my physiotherapist was just amazing. I hope to see them all again sometime if I ever need to be adjusted.
