Reviews of Dr. Peter Johnston and Associates (Massage Therapist)

Leila Panjvani

Five stars! What I like most about Peter is that he legitimately cares about you as a person, beyond treatment. I find there are a lot of skilled practitioners, but what sets him apart from that group is the tangible care which he provides, and you as a client feel.

Came to see Peter for massage therapy after a rear-end collision that caused substantial neck pain and headaches. Peter is a great therapist who takes time to listen, ask questions, educate, incorporate physio-type exercises, and cares about helping you. Very respectful of limits (e.g. adjustments). Also excellent communication.

Peter is a top notch healthcare practitioner. I have been seeing him regularly for the last 2 years for a variety of reasons. Mainly started treatments to help ease neck and shoulder stiffness from over a decade of sitting in front of a computer, and along the way, he has helped me recover quickly and easily from a few sports injuries incurred. The level of expertise he brings to the table is unparalleled. I often leave his office feeling immediate relief, thanks to his highly effective techniques. The discomfort and stiffness I used to feel on a regular basis has completely vanished. The care provided by Peter is far superior to any other treatments I have experienced over the years. My body thanks you!!

Peter has been my healthcare provider for over eight years. On a regular basis, Peter helps maintain my body so I can enjoy an active lifestyle. Peter is very knowledgeable about various kinds of physical and sport activities, including various forms of martial arts, yoga and running, which allows him to understand body movements very well. Recently, Peter corrected my weight lifting techniques that helped me prevent chronic back pain and injuries. In addition to his expertise, Peter is caring, personable and proactive with injury prevention. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Peter.

Can’t believe how much he helped in just a 45 minute session!!

I think like everybody here, Peter has not only changed my life, he's also made me change how I think about my body! After seeing him for a busted knee, he's helped my pain go all the way down, and has started working on my neck/back for tension headaches. Not only can I not recommend him enough, I've also recommended him to friends and family! He genuinely cares and is happy to see you progress, I could not have hoped for a better person to help manage and treat my pain!

Can’t thank Dr. Johnston enough for getting me feeling like myself again. I was in excruciating pain on my knee when I was highly recommended to him. I was truly unable to walk or bend my knee without being in pain, completely uncomfortable and insecure in my step. Within the first session I felt immediately relief, now I’m on my way to a speedy recovery. Thank you so much not only for the treatments, but for all the tips on how to listen to my body, and how to stretch properly. C

Peter changed my life. He helped me to heal my chronic pain at a time when I was depressed with the belief that I would never feel better. He listened well to my specific needs and was able to empower me with the knowledge and tools that I needed to actively heal myself. I have never felt so heard by a doctor, and I have never had better results. I feel optimistic, educated, and capable. I recommend this caring doctor to everyone.

"I have worked with Peter for the past two years very regularly. Over that period of time we came up with a plan and worked towards my goal of increasing mobility and more importantly having longevity in my movements. Being a professional cinematographer mobility, strength and longevity is at the top of my list. Peter has a great approach and with such a large tool-set and knowledge base of things he can implement you see gains and results fast. His calm presence and passion for the way the body works from head to toe is tough to not to be inspired by. He motivated me to take control and think about how my body moves in the best most healthy way possible. I couldn't be happier with the progress we have made over the years. I move better now then when I was in my twenties." Max Attwood Associate Member, Canadian Society of Cinematographers

Dr. Johnston is incredible, the real deal! His knowledge is unmatched, and he genuinely cares about his patients.

Peter is a miracle worker!! I had been suffering constant pain in my neck and shoulders for over 15 years as a result of a car accident. I had regular massage and physio sessions with other therapists, tried yoga and other exercise and nothing really made the pain go away. One day when I was in so much pain I could barely move my neck, a friend recommended Peter and that day my life changed! Peter even opened his office early to accommodate me. He gave an in depth analysis of what he felt was causing the pain and recommended I try Chiropractic treatment. I was always scared and hesitant to try Chiropractic treatment but I was in so much pain, I trusted and gave in. Thank god I did!! It wasn’t as scary as I thought. After the first session I felt some pain release, by the third session I was literally pain free. It’s now 6 months later and with sessions every 6 weeks I remain completely pain free. It makes me wonder why I suffered all those years. Thank you for changing my life Peter!!

I can't recommend Dr. Johnston enough. I went to see him for a knee issue I was having, and I'm so happy with the results. Peter took the time to really listen and understand the issues I was having and provided an exceptionally thorough analysis and diagnosis. I left the first session thinking, "Wow, I want this level of care from every medical practitioner I go to!" I particularly appreciate that he is a very effective communicator. He places a lot of importance on explaining everything he's doing, why he's doing it, and how it would improve my condition. He explains things in a way that makes the information completely accessible. It helped me understand the problem, calm my anxiety, and learn how I could best assist him in remedying the issue through actions in my day-to-day life/exercises. On top of it all, Peter is a really fantastic guy that instantly makes you feel calm and comfortable. From the very first session I trusted him and knew I was in good hands. He's so easy to chat with, and it makes the whole experience enjoyable. Do yourself a favour and go see Dr. Johnston - you will not regret it! I will definitely be returning should I require chiropractic/RMT care in the future.

Having never been to a CP before, I didn't know what to expect. I had a nagging shoulder pain and years of bad posture affecting me. Dr.Peter was not able to help relieve my shoulder pain but also correct my posture and help me understand my body better. I highly recommend him and my only regret is not having to see him sooner!

Highly recommend Dr Johnston! He is uber knowledgeable about the body, effective at treating complex and often chronic challenges, and is quite intersectional in identifying issues, tying in factors like age, gender, ethnicity, etc. In just a couple sessions, he was able to establish psychological safety and trust, and identify and address shoulder/arm problems that had lingered on for two years. His no nonsense approach and humour are also seriously refreshing! One of the best in his field(s)!

I found Peter on google after having a horrible first consult with a different chiropractor. He welcomed me, listened to all my problems and immediately got to working. He is literally my favourite person. Not only is he a chiropractor but a RMT, he makes sure my back is doing great by combining chiro/RMT sessions, and that I am making progress towards my overall wellness. I recommend him to everybody, he’s the absolute best !

Christine Hobeika

Peter is super helpful and effective. I show up with whatever weirdness is happening in my body and he helps me to feel better. He’s also kind and easy to trust so you can feel safe as you let someone do all those crackily things to your back, neck, etc. Totally recommend.
