Reviews of Thom Williamson, RMT. Massage Therapy @ Fresh Tracks, Courtenay. (Physiotherapist)

Erik Clevering

Thom is AWESOME! His integrative approach of manual therapy combined with mobility exercises has helped me so much (maybe his approach and jokes helped as well;) I highly recommend him to all my friends. We are so lucky to have an RMT of this caliber practicing in the valley.

I have been seeing Thom for treatment regarding my headaches and it has really made a significant impact. My neck feels less stiff and I have gained better mobility. Thom is friendly and personable, and is a thorough and knowledgeable therapist.

Maeve Chamberlaine

Really skilled rmt!

Joanie Branchflower

Thom not only helped me with my back and neck pain, he explained to me why it was happening. By the time I got home he had emailed me videos of exercises I can do at home. I finally feel like I have found the person to help me reverse years of recurring issues. I highly recommend him!!

Darren Anonson

Great knowledge of what's going on, has great energy and really takes massage therapy to another level! If you have an injury and need help getting it resolved from a top notch RMT, Thom's your guy.

Maggie Doucette

Very thorough and detailed initial visit. Looking forward to going back!

Thom is simply amazing. His knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology is phenomenal! He always gets exactly the right spots and many I didn't even realize were bothering me! Using movement and gentle pressure he manages to manipulate muscles no other therapist has before! Clearly the most effective treatments I have ever received, and as an athlete I have had many over the years! I would recommend Thom to anyone who is looking for a trusted healer!

Thom’s treatment approach resolved a chronic pain and health issue I had been experiencing for the better part of a year. I had grown discouraged as other forms of care were not doing much to help me gain greater mobility or lessen the persistent pain. After a couple of months of working with Thom, I was able to get back to the challenging physical activities I love most and was longing to do again, and I am now pain-free. I see Thom as being a true healer and his exercise class is first-rate. He is a genuinely caring healthcare practitioner. We are very fortunate to have Thom working in our community.

After being in a biking accident this summer I've been dealing with physical limitations I haven't had before. Tom hears out my complaints and uses the full amount of time in our appointments to address them through manual work and exercise education. Can't recommend him enough.

Kate Moore

Thom is a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist. His treatments help me maintain my active lifestyle and keep me pain-free. He has a great understanding of movement and brings an optimistic attitude to his treatments.

Ben Anderson

Thom listen to my whole history and listened to my body. This was much more than just a massage, I felt each movement was working towards healing. I have been looking for someone to listen to my body, I found him! The " body whisperer!"

Max Ansell

My old right knee repair has tightened up my right side top to bottom. Thom listened and worked it over professionally and positively.The follow up stretches are a real bonus. Highly recommended to get one back on the right path!

Dave Kitano

Thom listened to issues I've been having with my aches and pains then did a thorough assessment. He then created and catered his therapy specifically for my needs. Really appreciated him listening. Also, sent me homework via 'youtube' videos to continue work on my own. No pressure sales and great advice for future training and injury prevention. Would highly recommend implementing his services to your training regime.

Morgan Alkin

I started seeing Thom after a car accident that left me with significant neck, shoulder and back pain. I noticed a real difference in my pain after just the first session. Not only did Thom's massage help to alleviate the pain and discomfort I felt, he would give me exercises at the end of each appointment that helped me focus on regaining mobility and strength. Bonus, he's great with kids, and my 2 year old is always excited to play with his lego bus that's in his room!

Matt O'Meara

Thom has helped me recovery effectively from my muscle strains and imbalances incurred from an intense training program this year. Highly recommend his blend of functional movement and massage if you have a nagging injury that needs to be dealt with or just want to stay on top of your game.

Laura Stewart

Thom is a true professional in his field. He has an extensive range of knowledge and is passionate in sharing it with his patients. Through the manual therapy he applies and techniques/ tools he shares he allows his patients to gain greater range of motion, recover, and help prevent injuries. Thom will always be my go too when I'm dealing with any kind of injury and/or range of motion restriction.

Adam Erhart

Thom is awesome. Incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly and helpful, and you can tell he genuinely cares about what he's doing and how he's helping. Highly recommended!

Graeme Jon

Fantastic! Went in with hip discomfort, left with it drastically minimized and a game plan going forward. Thom professionally performed ART massage and a few other conventional physio treatments (range of motion movements, stretches, massage) and then took me into the work out / rehab area where he showed me several stretches and exercises to do, and then sent a detailed follow up email with links to those exercises on YouTube for future reference. I've seen many physios in my time and you can't ask for much more in a one-time treatment. I was visiting town, if I lived there I would see him regularly! Cheers Thom. Enjoy the trails. And thanks, again!

C O'Meara

Thom is an outstanding practitioner! Within a few weeks he helped me regain mobility and strength from my injury. His techniques were great and resolved the issue effectively. I recommend Thom to anyone looking for an RMT.

John Kuby

On my first visit for a knee issue, after an hour of manipulation and specific exercises the pains that were keeping me from snowboarding were almost gone. I continue to do the exercises and follow the CARS joint articulation program. It works. Thank you Thom.

Derek Vinge

Thom has an approach that is unique and specialized. I appreciate his ability to communicate the complexities of an injury and what process he will take to get me better. His training and experience is top notch and he is able to get to problem areas with confidence.

Katy Lucas

Thom offers a new approach to massage therapy, using movement and full stretches with active contractions. A refreshing approach that helped activate and realign an old hamstring injury of mine. I Would happily recommend Thom for anyone looking for rehabilitation from injury or to train muscle groups for strength.

Rikki Warwaruk

Thom helped me recover from a nagging hip injury I earned from teaching Yoga. Thom's approach to movement not only healed my hip but allowed greater mobility in my joints as well. He took the time to help me understand what and why we were doing specific exercises/stretches. His background in RMT helped release muscle tension I could not do on my own which made his methods/techniques very effective. I recommend his support to my clients, friends and family.

stefan iorio

I had been seeing Thom for years regarding multiple chronic sporting injuries. He's unlike any RMT I had seen previously addressing some of my dysfunctions rather than just massaging the pain, leading to long term relief. And overall a great guy. Gonna miss him more than my body will.

Mark Drisdelle

Thom is an amazing manual therapist. He really addressed the root cause of my problem combining manual and exercise rehab to get me back on the trails. He is friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend to anyone

Aaron G

There are plenty of RMTs you can see, but I guarantee none come close to matching the passion and knowledge that Thom brings. The treatments are no walk in the park, you have to be ready to work, but I can guarantee you'll be coming back to Thom again and again - - he gets results.

Sally Alexander

Wow! Thom is amazing. Been suffering from a recurring low back pain from an MVA a few years back as well as work tension (I am a nurse). He really addressed my mobility limitation with manual treatment and exercises. I know I have a way to go but feel like I am on the right path with Thom. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Shelley Greenup

Thom was thorough, and got right to the problem. Very comfortable And quality work!

Noah Alexander

Thom is an awesome therapist that thinks outside the box. I really like how he tries to target the source of the problem rather than just treating to make you feel better for a bit. I like how he gave me exercises to do on my own

Natalie Rogers

Anyone on an ICBC claim should book in with Thom... His experience treating whiplash is obvious. I had quick, long lasting improvement with my neck injury.

Oliver Bailey

If you're looking to actually see progress in your journey of healing an injury, I highly recommend Thom. His approach is both hands on and client directed in that he provides functional exercises to take away from each session.

Melina Kurtakis

I have seen Thom for several different sports injuries. Thom’s approach is very functional and movement based. He gets to the root of your problem and uses many different techniques and exercises to get you back to what you love to do. I have referred a lot of friends to Thom and everyone has had a very positive experience!!

Simon Fellows

Thom is an excellent therapist, combining in depth knowledge of the way the body moves with great manual therapy skills. His assessment showed how my body moved well in some ways and not so well in others. He gave me specific exercises which proved far better than ones I had been given by other therapists.

Gary and Betty O'Neill

Thom is dedicated to solving your issues for the long term rather than just offering a "band-aid" solution. I was also impressed with his follow-up. He promptly emailed me the exercises to continue at home. Highly recommend.

David Hardie

Thom gave a very through and informative massage with follow up exercises. I would highly recommend his services.

Julian Benedict

Wow - what a professional, knowledgeable, and helpful person. Thom is an organized, considerate, and approachable person who knows how to fix the body. I will be back to resolve my back pain again. Recommended to others for sure

Dustin Fraser

Thom is such a great RMT. His approach of both manual and active therapy is so beneficial. He takes Massage Therapy to another level.

Cheryl MacLeod

Thom is so Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! His assessment of my shoulder, wrist and forearm pain was so accurate and although I have only had one treatment from him, I feel better already and I am also encouraged that this pain doesn’t have to be permanent! Furthermore, Thom is so easy to communicate with! I lucked out in finding him!????????????

R G

I found Thom to be a good listener, very personable and highly knowledgeable. He took a comprehensive history from me prior to conducting a physical assessment. He massaged and gently stretched my sore areas and then worked with me on how to stretch and strengthen areas of concern in front of a mirror. I left with a set of exercises to perform at home, so when I come back, we will be able to see any progress. Really pleased overall and so happy that I am finally paying attention to my aches and pains instead of ignoring them - wish I had started with Thom sooner!

Alison Brook

I’m a middle aged woman who was a little weary of seeing a RMT for my long standing lower back pain. I felt so comfortable with Thom and appreciated his very thorough history taking, functional assessment, some manual therapy with lots of demonstrations for exercises and stretches. I am glad to say that after a few sessions, I’m feeling great! I highly recommend Thom.

Thomas

Thom is thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring - excellent at identifying problems and setting a course for improvement with stretching, CARS (joint mobility/range) and massage therapy. Very professional and diligent, cheers

Lauren Little

Wow just seen Thom for treatment. He is amazing! It is almost like seeing a massage therapist, a physiotherapist and a chiropractor all wrapped into one. Assessment treatment and rehab. Highly recommended!
