Reviews of Bentall Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

Barbara Shaw

Everything from the totally helpful receptionists to the extremely professional therapy from Mariola has been so great. I am very lucky that I went to Bentall Physiotherapy to help with my injury and recovery

Andy Smith

Jacek really opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong with my body. It's only been a week and already I feel a better awareness with my muscles/body, and my lower back pain and posture have already improved.

ghadeer nassif

I had pain in my nick and shoulders, for several of months. Dr.Mariana walk me through how to enhance my posture, my setting position and walking. The most important for me was to be aware of my body not only get the physiotherapy as a remedy. Highly recommended Doctor, and centre

leo hippochin

Great place! Strongly recommended. The therapists are very professional and skilled. I got my pain and numbness problems fixed here. They offer direct billing to use your insurance money, so it is very convenient.

Josef Pruger

Regular long time user of various Physiotherapist in town. Wish I had come to Jacek many years earlier as his approach is long term and effective. Very experienced, understanding the issues, helping to correct underlying core behaviour/injury. Does spend the time needed with the patient, is very hands on, with strong emphasis on getting the exercises right and focusing your mind on it. Doesn't have the tendency rushing between treatment rooms. Highly recommended.

Most unprofessional treatment I’ve ever had.

I cannot overstate the value of Jecek's treatments. He has a natural talent for helping others that is extremely difficult to find. Getting treatment from Jecek has been nothing short of transformative for my health and well-being. I have been receiving weekly treatments from Jecek for 9 months now after two fetal car accidents. In that time have experienced substantial relief from my aches and pains and the improvement still continues... Last but not the least the reception and the customer service is great and mirium is really helpful. Highly recomended and it will be worth spending time and money.

I have been going for over a month now and have learned a lot from Jacek on how to strengthen my core, and move properly. In just a couple sessions and exercises to do at home, I am no longer in pain. I still issues to work on, but I am always learning something new about my body and how to correct my positioning and improving daily. Jacek & Mariola are very knowledgeable, helpful & always explain or answer any questions without rushing. I had Jacek for the first month and recently had Mariola; both terrific and learn a little bit more and something different from each. I highly recommend them.

I am 70 years old . A few weeks ago I had a car accident that made all my joints very stiff: In a few sessions with Doctor Kozba I regained mobility ,lost pain and above that he also corrected my posture . Dr.Kozba is very practical and effective with his hands on style ,passion and broad experience and every session I walk out I am in a tangible better shape. . I am very grateful for that and I would highly recommend him. A happy patient, Mario

Andrew Jung

One of the better physiotherapists that I've been to and currently going to. Also, it is conveniently located.

Bryan Forsyth

This place helped me greatly in recovering from an ankle injury and a shoulder injury. Jacek is great, and I would Highly recommend him as your physiotherapist.

Zoran Jeremic

Mariola is very professional and skilled. She helped me with my back pain a lot. What I appreciate very much during the treatment she spent a lot of time explaining the root cause of the pain and gave me a plenty of useful tips how to reduce the pain. I would highly recommend her.

Dirac Fang

I got wonderful treatment from Mariola Kobza. She's professional, patient and had a detailed personalized plan for every step of my recovery from fracture. What's most important is, I was recovering fast following the treatment!

s e r e n u t r i a

After reading the good reviews I decided to attend a physiotherapy session, as I work in the computer and wanted some guidance on how to strengthen my legs and body (at that point I had no pain at all). The night after my first session my knees were in excruciating pain, I went back a couple of times thinking it was just an initial reaction but the pain never went away. Now, almost a month later I deal with daily pain on my knees/back/hips, I’m not even able to sit, do my work or even sleep comfortably anymore. It’s really frustrating, I just hope I find a way to fix this with help somewhere else. EDIT (Reply to the owner's comment) You can find my history under the name Serena, I was there a few times from March to April. I did raise this concern a few times, as my pain started right after our first session and was worst every time I went. I also sent an email before posting this review, explaining what was happening to me. I still have pain to this day (2 months after going there), but I'm working with another physiotherapist in trying to solve it.

Aldo Estefan

Excellent service, Mariola is great!

Lucy Yoshio

If you are looking for a good one day massage, come here but not for long treatment.

Nancy Maribel

This place, and specifically Jacek Kobza are amazing, and I don't say that lightly. I've already referred him to close friends and family, and some are planning on going next week. That's how great I believe the service is. Okay, to break it down, there are several reasons why I really like coming here. Number one is Jacek - he takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly and in a detailed manner. He actually listens to what is bothering you and will then find a solution tailored to you. He will make sure that you understand each exercise you are doing and why, so that you can do it at home. I'm not very coordinated, so he sometimes has to show me a few times before I get the hang of it. He has never rushed me through an exercise, and makes sure that I understand what I need to do, and why. He also knows when to be serious, and when use humor. I'm currently seeing him for two separate injuries, and I can't believe how quickly I've been progressing with both of them. These have been chronic issues, and the relief I'm getting from the physio is mind blowing. Other reasons to love this place - competitive rates, good hours (can go in before work), great location, and a friendly team. If you are in pain, this is the best place to go. Seriously, I've never written such a long review, but this place is absolutely worth it.

Chris Thompson

Good physiotherapist. No fluff - fixes you, tells you what's wrong, what you're doing wrong, and how to fix it longer term.

Isaac dahud

Great experience with this place and Jacek. He is very straight shooting and brutally honest. If you are a sensitive flower and get offended easily maybe he is not the best for you. His treatments and exercise /stretch programs worked for me and my shoulder pain is almost gone. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get issues resolved quick.

Lahiru

Jacek helped me with lower back pain by identifying my bad habits that contribute to the muscle tightness in my back. He not only showed me the stretches I needed to do, he also made videos on my phone of me doing them so that I wouldn't forget when I went home. He was very easy to talk to and was to the point. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Jacek Kobza is a great physiotherapist. I've had a Baker's Cyst for almost two years and no other professional of the many I had been through had been able before to diagnose the inherent postural and muscular causes of the injury. His prescription has been the only treatment that has worked so far. He's honest and professional, highly recomended!

Martin

First time coming to the clinic I was nicely surprised how Jacek got straight to the business and after initial assessment we jumped on some postural exercises. In order to keep track of the things I have learnt Jacek took a pictures and videos of me so I can review it at home. I have been there at least ten times and I am glad such a professional have office downtown Vancouver.

Stephen French

I visited Jacek with an injury that had frustrated me for months. I had visited another physio several times with no success. After I explained the issue to Jacek, he educated me on the fundamentals that I was doing wrong. He pointed out that I was not protecting my lower back during certain movements and he taught me about tensing my glutes and core, good posture, the way I stood, walked and sat. He was extremely diligent and knowledgeable. I really liked his approach, which was to get to the root cause of the injury and stop it from happening again instead of just temporarily making it feel better like the other physio had. Within a few days of visiting Jacek the pain had reduced significantly and was much less frequent. If I did feel pain, I would be able to identify why I was feeling it, because Jacek had taught me the proper fundamentals. I was able to correct the way I was doing the task that was causing me pain and the pain would subside. Over time I built up the good habits that Jacek had talked about and no longer have the injury. He also went above and beyond - he took an interest into why I wasn't looking after myself so well at the time, what my lifestyle was like and gave some great advice about stress. Thanks Jacek!!

Michael M

Jacek helps me a lot precisely identify problems I am dealing with and helps with fixing them. I like his practical and honest approach. Thank you Jacek!

Mina Paraham

Mariola Kobza is the most hands-on, experienced, knowledgeable Physiotherapist I have been a patient of! I have been seen by many others over the years and I never felt comfortable leaving a review for any of them. Definitely recommend her!

Terra Hunter

Mariola is fantastic and knowledgeable. She's respectful and doesn't have any 'salesman' vibe to her. I 100% recommend her if you've been having frustrations with the medical system or other professionals not taking you seriously. Personally I went in for just general wellness/awareness. Discovered my shoulders were rolled and my posture was wrong. My First appointment: - Expect a quick little chat about you and your concerns and issues. - You'll do some range of motion tests. - She'll tell you what she's observing and why. - She might crack your back or something. (She's very gentle) - She'll help stretch areas worth stretching. - She might put a muscle simulator on you for 15 minutes. - She'll show you the stretches you should be doing at home, and gives you the time you need to learn it.

Tasha Lorenzen

I really appreciate the direct, knowledgeable and attentive care that is provided.

Gregory Scott

Mariola and her staff are very professional and it is the the best physiotherapy treatment I've had. Experience definitely means a lot when it comes to rehabilitation and you can definitely tell she cares about her patients progress. Thanks

Rob McJunkin

Friendly and effective

Kevin Lee

Gone here for 10+ years to see mariola and Jacek. Top notch service and help for long term recovery

Andrew Krahn

professional and expert experience, highly recommend it

Dan Parlow

Been to Mariola for three different issues over the years, most recently over Dec. 2020 due to a back injury. Mariola is, quite simply, the best physiotherapist I've ever attended. Her combination of knowledge and experience place her a cut above any others I've seen in the past. She always takes her time, provides excellent support, information and follow-up.

Sean Dillon

Jacek Kobza is truly one of a kind, the best in his field and a bonafide healer. Sean Dillon

Zeina Bou Jaoudeh

My first physiotherapy session was great! Mariola was amazing and very helpful. She took the time to explain everything to me and gave me some helpful tips to improve my body. I highly recommend this place!

David Goodman

I saw Jacek for a very sore, arthritic knee. Jacek did a thorough exam and then proceeded to put me through a number of exercises that went well beyond simply focussing on the knee. I was skeptical at first, but no longer. His progression of exercises, stretches and weight bearing resulted in a profound change in my level of pain, and increase in mobility. As a physiologist, I have a decent understanding of the underlying principles. Jacek had the ability to put theory into practice. I would recommend him highly.

Rimika Datta

You will be in efficient hands.Satisfied.

Josef Loeffler

Very friendly and direct service and I am satisfied with the treatments by Mariola so far. Looking forward for the next session.

Garry Westmacott

After sustaining a fractured vertebrae, my GP referred me to Jacek at Bentall Physiotherapy. Jacek brings years of experience and a genuine passion, commitment and perseverance to assisting his clients with their recovery and ongoing health. Not only did he provide the necessary exercises for my condition, his program and weekly Spiral Stabilization classes have helped me rebuild my confidence to be able to function and return to an active lifestyle. I can’t thank him enough.

Mojie Rahmani

I’ve had a great experience with this office. Friendly staff. Very clean and carefully cleaned and sanitizer between patients. Extremely important nowadays with the pandemic. Mariola is very knowledgeable and knows what she’s doing. I’ve had good results. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Bob Lock

I had developed a sore shoulder with tingling in the arm. Jacek focussed on my posture and walking .He said that the problem was from my neck and gave me 4 exercises to complete 3 times a day , including videos of me ! 2 days later , no pain ! What a Brilliant result !

darcy faulkner

After asking me detailed questions about my medical history and current injury Jacek conducted strength testing and gave me a treatment regimen which immediately started to make a difference. His approach is vastly different to what I've experienced from the other PT's I've visited regarding this injury. I especially like the videos he makes of the exercises I need to do so that I have a model to refer to in the future.

Vivian Paul

Jacek Kozba is outstanding in his knowledge depth and effort to educate clients about their musculoskeletal problems. His technique of making 60-second voice-over videos on the client's cell phone to record an exercise he is teaching is unique and so very helpful.

M Brew

Helping my recovery very much. Great place!

Arvand hp

I’ve been going to Bernal physiotherapy for my back injury; A great place to go for your physio. Jacek is really good at identifying the injured spot and working with the problem. He is very patient and working really hard with you. He is also very supportive and teaches you many take home exercises too so you can do it yourself during the day! Always on time and, also a great receptionist! Highly recommending this place!

Dr M Kobza treated me for a rolled ankle from volleyball and ensured it healed properly and offer suggestions to strengthen my core muscles

Janet Cloutier

I chose Bentall Physiotherapy because of their expertise in treating patients with arthritis. I'm so glad I did! Mariola is able to answer all my questions, and I appreciate her expertise. Of course, the most important part is I starting noticing improvement in my mobility from the first session. Very friendly staff and conveniently located beside Burrard skytrain station.Thank you!

Meredith T

Jacek was a huge support when imaging on my shoulder was coming back negative. He was able to use his own ultrasound to see what was happening inside my joint. He took his time and ultrasounded both shoulders to compare. Through this he was able to see that I indeed had problems that the previous imaging missed and provided me with the knowledge and tools to talk to my Dr and seek further treatment. Jacek and the receptionist Kelly are both great people and I am very grateful that I found Bentall Physiotherapy!

Vicente Luna

Great experience. Best physio experience.

Alex Rind

Have been going to Bentall Physiotherapy for several years now, every time with different injuries so obviously I have been very pleased. My latest visits are due to a knee injury and it is not just the knee that Jacek is 'fixing', it is the whole posture. I waked in on my crutches and walked out holding them in my hand. I walked out slowly and carefully, but without the support of my crutches nonetheless.

Mark Witecki

Jacek is one of the best physiotherapists I have seen. He is very passionate about helping you with your pain. He gives very thorough instructions with exercises that will strengthen the muscles that are imbalanced. Also provides a good physio treatment to stretch and relax your muscles. Highly recommended.

Kajal D.

Went to see Jacek following a car accident which had caused chronic neck pain. He was amazing at identifying the source of the issue, rather than just providing short-term relief of symptoms. He takes you back to basics by teaching ways to ensure all primary movements & posture are corrected before going forward with more advanced treatments. I finished my sessions with him, walking out with so much knowledge than I ever had. With his help, I have learned techniques which will help me forever. His active-physio classes are fantastic. I not only learned new exercises for my neck pain, but was amazed to learn & see how more than half of the exercises I was doing at the gym & what a lot of personal trainers teach their clients are in fact incorrect! I highly recommend Jacek, his knowledge is gold, best in the business.

Marc André

It was my first visit today with Jacek and I was impressed. You can tell he has a lot of experience. I will be back!

Michelle Fraser

Such a fantastic physio! I've been to a lot and this was by far the best. Jacek was so great, he looked at what was wrong with my whole body rather than just focusing on the problem area. I learned so much about how to strengthen my body to protect it from injuries. I got through the entire ski season without injuring myself (which is a miracle). Kelly the receptionist is lovely too, an all-round great experience. Thank you so much for helping me!

Max Marr

When I had a knee injury mid holiday from from Australia, Jacek was skilled and thorough in having an overview of the problem in his treatment. He offered ongoing advice and I found him an incredible physio professional. If he was in Australia I would visit him. Alison Marr

mark bpl

Friendly staff and very knowledgable physiotherapist. Jacek help me not just with my current injury, but he also corrected my posture.which caused my ongoing injuries. I highly recommend Bentall physiotherapy services. Regards Mark

Bayne Stanley

Very impressed with Jacek. He is patient and takes the time to answer questions and correct exercise technique. He wants you to get it right and he's working toward a long-term solution. Very client oriented. Highly recommended.

Corinne Sanderson

Jacek is an exceptional physiotherapist. He is in a class of his own, knowledgeable, kind, patient and a very good educator. I would not go to anyone else.

Azza Ro

The whole team at Bentall Physio is amazing! I worked with Mariola to treat back pain and she was so kind and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I would recommend Bentall physio. Thanks Bentall Physio team for your great care and service :)

A Kalsi

Getting treated for neuropathic pain caused by bones spurs in my neck. Mariola has done a great job in just 2 weeks and got me so much relief. I highly recommend her.

Gordon MacRae

Expert diagnosis and highly effective treatment

Jennifer Swan

Attending Jacek's Spiral Stabilization group class over the past two years has resulted in a remarkable lessening of my osteoarthritis-caused back pain. It's the one thing I do each week that makes a difference to my physical health and also to my mood. The camaraderie shared by the class members is a bonus.

Jacek (Jack) Kobza is a dedicated, knowledgeable and informative Physical Therapist. He is professional and very skilled at his craft with a lot of experience. Furthermore, Jack has a holistic approach in the way that he works and he’s more than happy to share information when asked. In only one session we get to cover a great deal. He listens, he reviews the old exercises implementing new ones for my specific needs. He teaches me fundamental things to further help me to take care of myself, such as breathing, body protection, balancing sympathetic and parasympathetic system (vagus nerve stimulation) spiral stabilization and functional usage of my developed habits—which has made a big difference in my posture, range of motion and etc.... Additionally, he covers nutrition and supplements for my optimal health. One very important part of my treatment I find is that Jack does not rely on electric equipment to offer pain relief etc…, but he uses his hands. He integrates manual therapy/massage therapy and physiotherapy manipulation (passive) in my treatment which effectively expedites my recovery. Not many Physiotherapist use their hands --I find. Each time I get a treatment from Jack, I leave his practice feeling an overall improvement and a feeling of well-being. It feels good to feel and know that I am taken excellent care of by the best of hands who is a bright, excellent Physical Therapist with a kind heart. I don’t want to give him too many accolades, but credit is given when credit is earned and he is truly from another Planet: of a higher caliber. I feel hopeful again, thank you Jack.

Alan Bogusiewicz

I went to Jacek Kobza’s clinic after dislocating my shoulder. Not only did he provide superior treatment and advice that helped me heal, but also we worked on different strategies to prevent re-injury in the future. He went out of his way to work on my correct posture and muscle usage that would ensure I can practice physical activities safely with minimum “wear and tear” to my body. He taught me various techniques correcting my posture and attended gym with me showing me how to “stabilise” my arm and do weight lifting correctly. I feel it would have been worth to attend his sessions even if I had no injury whatsoever - I am much prepared to active live-style and I learned all the necessary basics to build my strength upon. Highly recommend him, he is a person who truly cares for well-being of his patients.

John O'Connor

Jacek is perhaps the best physiotherapist that I've met. He has a great whole body approach that addresses the problem overall, rather than simply treating a specific localized concern. Even though it is a bit out of the way for me, I've been coming here for a rather long time as I value the advice and treatment that Jacek is able to provide. He has a very hands on approach, and provides you with “homework” in terms of exercises, stretching, etc that, when done, lead you to healthier outcomes. He does take the time to understand the problem, observes your posture and movements, and provides recommended solutions to help you over the long term. Additionally, all the apparatus is on hand to provide immediate relief should it necessary. I highly recommend him!

Chaz Olsen

Jacek is an outstanding physiotherapist. He works from the ground up, has a holistic approach to recovery, and focuses on teaching proper postural exercises that transformed the way I move my body. Since I started seeing Jacek I experience far less pains than I used to because he taught me how to properly sit, stand, walk, and breathe. The techniques and exercises I learned from Jacek created new habits and activated dormant muscles that support postural balance and injury prevention. I continue to work with Jacek to go over questions and review exercises. There is always something new to learn.

I had great results. Friendly and efficient. Thanks again.

Robert Becker

I've been seeing Jacek for well over one year now. Through this time, Jacek helped me immensely with getting my chronic back problems under control. This happened not only through his extensive knowledge, outstanding care and tailor-made exercises and treatments for my back but also through his holistic approach. Jacek strongly believes there is more to recovery than just a few exercises and he is determined to find the root cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. He opened my eyes towards better overall body health and paying attention to my inner body workings (sleep, supplements, proper gut health just to name a few). I fully believe that through his holistic ways, I managed to get my back pain under control, something which I was not able to do before seeing other practitioners. He dedicates a lot of time to his patients and listens carefully. His level of care did also carry throughout the COVID lockdown, where his online sessions were extremely helpful and detailed. Jacek is very passionate about proper posture and especially body mechanics, something, I have not seen before in other places. Thanks to him, I am not just able to get my life back in order, but I am also in better overall health than I was before and I feel well equipped to keep my lower back stable for the years to come. Last but not least, the receptionist Kelly is very friendly as well.

Rebecca Robertson

I highly recommend Jacek. He has taught me very valuable skills which have help me live my best life with my condition. Not only did he address my symptoms but he took a more holistic approach while guiding and helping me search for the root cause of my condition - this was something I hadn't encountered with any other professional.
