Reviews of Courtenay Healing Centre (Physiotherapist)

Laurel Rousseau

Ross Ralph did prolotherapy on my neck. My neck went into a spasm. Less than hour later I fainted and fell, fracturing my spine requiring a 7 hour surgery. My life has been ruined because of this man as I am in constant pain. I know another woman who had to go by ambulance to the hospital after seeing him. I was also contacted by another woman who read this post who's lung was punctured while seeing him requiring immediate surgery. Beware!

Simply the best treatments I have ever had. If you want to heal without pharmaceutical intervention, this is the place to go.

I was 15 when my life fell to Pieces. Until now I had been The Adventurous ambitious life loving girl. I was an A+ student in school, excelled in soccer and hockey and enjoyed hard work of life on a farm and totally thrived in the abundance and challenges of every day. My challenges came. Suddenly without any warning, I became the girl with gut-wrenching pain at a birthday party, the missing player on my sports team, the sobbing girl in bed with her head under her pillow and the frequent patient in the ER. Drs were confused, so was I it's all in your head they declared. I was no quitter I pushed on with life, I took all the challenges life handed, I became a teacher, I held a part-time job at an old country cafe, I married a handsome young guy who promised to love me in sickness and in health I became a mother but I never became well, my body was like an ocean vessel out at Sea tossed wildly in the fierce storms with no Captain at its Helm. I suffered through vicious symptoms that made me wish I could die and when I thought I was dying I fought for breath. I faced trauma, I experienced the nightmares of tons of medical procedures and tests. Finally I was diagnosed with Lyme disease.I searched and searched for help and found some enough to help me cope but never enough to free me from the misery I was facing day after day. Then I met Dr Ross and Dr Brigitte at the Courtenay Healing Center on Vancouver Island and for the first time in my life I knew I was in good hands. With acupuncture NST OMT and TCM they have helped me get my life back. Their passion for their work, care for their patients and depth of knowledge is amazing evidence of countless hours and committed years of learning, training and practicing. I thank God for being the captain of my vessel and bringing these dear people into my life to calm the storm. That healthy young girl again. Justina

Very compassionate and skilled practitioners

Saved my family from surgeries and lifelong prescriptions. Amazing wealth of cutting edge knowledge and hightech devices. They take the time to really listen,research, teach, and treat; unlike anything a western doctor offers. I feel lucky to be alive and healthy and I owe it all to them. Sure wish our medical system would listen to my success story and open the medical system to cures and not customers.

Dr Ralph is best overall functional medicine doctor I have seen over 35 years getting care for chronic degenerative conditions following 2 severe accidents.. If he can't fix you, then surgery may be your only resort. He fixed my brother who was a champion wrestler and ball player. Fixed his knees, hips and shoulder in 2 intensive visits. Fixed a yoga instructor who could barely walk. One person said cured cancer, and another diabetees. Care is multimodal, carefully considered and executed. I trust Dr. Ralph no matter which of many treatment modalities he chooses. His wife Brigitte offers a nice compliment to Dr. Ralph's style if you favor a Yin approach.

Experienced TCM doctors who truly care about your health. Blessings to them for all their time and love for our family.

Ross narrowed my lower back issues to a ligament injury. he performed Prolo therapy on my lower ligaments, its has been almost 15 years since the treatments and my back is better now than it was in my early 20's.

I’ve been getting treatment from both Ross and Brigette for several years for and I am so grateful for their breadth of knowledge, skill and compassion. I wouldn’t still be cycling and hiking if it wasn’t for them.

This review is sent on behalf of a grateful client with the initials JD. Dr. Ross is an amazing person! He has had much training and is very knowledgeable and careful in his work. I have been having treatments with him for two years and am healing so well! I will always be grateful to him for his time, patience, advice and care. Dr. Brigitte is a lovely person with the most cheerful laugh that is as healing as her wonderful treatments, too! And Betty is not just the busy secretary there; she pours her love and energy into the work too. I love the atmosphere there, and take my children to this clinic as well and am thankful for the wonderful care we receive. I cannot thank them all enough but I can pray that their own health will bless them for many more years. JD.
