Reviews of Advanced Physiotherapy Corporation (Physiotherapist)

Kathleen Arpink

My therapist in Prabhleen - she is kind and good for a chat during my treatment. Professional and effective- nice to have such good care so close to home!

Louise Lloyd

I wanted to write this review because I am so grateful to have been recommended to Patrick Embley and his Team at Advanced Physio. They are group of professionals who are in my opinion, THE BEST. I have been to many a Physio over the years and Patrick genuine enthusiasm, knowledge, keeping current, abreast of with practices, his visual show and tell manner and teaching me as a patient with use of the skeleton to explain a motor or nerve or muscle ligament , tendon etc, he does it with pride, detail and grass roots easy to grasp explanations and honest opinion shines through to each of his team. he advocates this with in his team and it shows in the way they all gel. So important in health care and the there is alwasy hope feeling you have on entering and leaving your appointment. I've known Patrick for 5 years. I have had Physio, IMS, Ultra sound, Laser ...they provide a range of services depending on what is felt is needed. Just go to the website! I love that he has exercise bikes and equipment that is as is needed and that I can buy teh rubber bands I needed right there and so reasonable. He and his team are upbeat, positive, motivating, and always eager to solve the condition at hand, no matter how busy he/they are.. he is always there for my family and I. Wether sports or work or what ever related they are your team to go to! I have sent colleagues, friends and strangers there. I just cant say enough positive feedback. In this world of social media there are no negatives at all here I can attest to that! If you can book ahead do so and plan so you get the time needed. They are alwasy accommodating as they are organised! They are welcoming, so caring and patient to listen, they address your needs and the follow up with emailed exercise routines where you an see a 5-10 second video of what Patrick Advises is visual, helps you remember and practice the correct moments. Calls to remind you of an appointment and even if you are ok. How nice! Patrick was key and my first line of defence to diagnose my lower lumber issue in 2013 I had a successful micro disectomy surgery 2014 thanks to his recommendation and communications with my great Doctors. His experience and attention to detail, being a good listening and taking action are rare, he has it! Taking time to his to log his notes and via voice notes immediately and diagnosis is truelly amazing . Very thorough and time managed, this is so important in our busy world. You may feel $90 is alot but trust me, it is well worth this and more. Other PT's Ive seen for an appointment and 1-2 hours later hours being left behind waiting 30 - 45 mins past the schedule time, dirty equipment, floors bathrooms, or the PT doesn't remember who you are or what they were doing with you is unacceptable! No thanks! So make the call. Patrick diagnosed my right shoulder rotator cuff early, and again with communications to my wonderful Doctors and Surgeons, I had successful surgery in Aug 2017 . I would highly recommend Advanced Physiotherapy and have done to many friends, family, colleagues and people I dont know but had seen me in a sling or rehabing. If you Physio is away taking a well needed break, there is always someone experienced to assist, if you suddenly can't get in to see you regular PT, I believe he also has Specialist in Arthritis come to the clinic, as well, wow ! I carry Patricks and teams cards with me everywhere. I love my Physio! If you not going o Advanced Physio, you need do be! Its not about cost its about time and quality. I'm in an out within 30 mins. On time , if I need more time they are always accommodating when they can, Jan and Cathy on the front desk are Ambassadors of kind warm feel good service as are the whole team at Advanced Physio. Feel good, life is fine balance and to feel better is the best! Thanks Advanced Physio! Louise

Brytani Dean

I needed physical therapy after being injured in a car accident, and I am so glad that I chose Advanced Physiotherapy. Their staff are very friendly, kind, and compassionate, and their flexible hours worked well with my crazy work schedule. My physiotherapist was David Ko, and he is amazing at what he does. He is very knowledgable, always answering my millions of questions, and showed me many exercises that were easy for me to keep up with on my own at home, that really helped with my recovery. 10/10 would recommend!

Jil Sonia McDonald

Being an interior designer and lugging around heavy floor and tile samples gave me a bad back. I actually walked into Advanced Physiotherapy hobbling and in severe pain. After Patrick worked on me, I walked out of there actually skipping. I was so relieved. We continue to go for maintenance. My husband and I can't recommend Patrick highly enough. He's so kind and funny but very professional and he knows his stuff!

Corinne Fletcher

Excellent PT's with thorough and advanced knowledge to help whenever needed. Thank you Patrick for your assistance over the years!.

Ria Toffoli

Very professional physiotherapists who are knowledgeable and caring. The facility is always well kept up and reception staff are excellent! I highly recommend this physio clinic. Myself and family members have been going for years!

Brooke Cherfils

In addition to being kind, prompt and professional, the staff and physiotherapists go above and beyond to ensure each individual receives the treatment they need.

Steven Cheema

Harleen was absolutely amazing! She took her time during the initial consult to ensure all the details of my achilles injury were correct and took her time explaining what the process of the rehab would entail. She was very diligent with the details during the subsequent follow up visits and encouraged me to stay on course for my rehab. She is an integral part of my rehab and she will definitely be a great part of your rehab too!

Fountain of relative information

Thomas Cragg

Patrick has been extremely helpful in solving my myofascial issues

Rakesh Malik

Went to Advanced Physiotherapy with a Frozen Shoulder. My left arm movement was very restricted and uncomfortable for my daily routine. The approach of Advanced PHYSIO was very professional and Ms Joanne Ho was assigned to take care of me. Possessing a very pleasing personality, she examined and understood my issues very quickly and organized a treatment and exercise programs that has resulted in a vast improvement in my situation. Her follow up has been very relevant and resulted in modifying my exercise program to my benefit. Joanne is young but very current with prevailing professional practices. I wish her and Advanced Physiotherapy the very best. Ms Joanne is highly recommend.

Chipperfield Physiotherapy

Love this clinic! As Mobile Physiotherapists ourselves, we sometimes need to collaborate with clinics in the area to see clients and transition clients from their home to clinics. Advanced Physiotherapy is so professional and we're always confident that clients will get the best care with their practitioners. 5 stars!

Roma Chin

Patrick and the staff at Advanced physiotharapy are amazing! I don't have the words to describe how Patrick has improved my quality of life since I discovered Advanced Physiotherapy. I had tendonitis for 3 years, and had stopped walking the dogs, shopping and everything in between because of the pain. I had had multiple xrays and tests plus treatment to no avail. Patrick completely cured my riight Achilles tendon. Now I make a beeline to Patrick to fix me before the pain gets too severe. I too have wasted so much time, energy and money before finding Advanced Physiotherapy. Thank you Roma Chin

Leona Kustra

Harleen is very professional and isolated the painful location quickly. She applied techniques to release the pain and also emailed me exercises.

Jane Weiss

Thanks to the skill, patience, and expertise of Patrick Embley, yesterday I triumphantly returned to the mountains after rupturing my Achilles Tendon this past March. With poles in hand, I managed a short hike thru an alpine meadow, thrilling for me to say the least. Over the past three months, Patrick has worked with me to assess my injury and develop a comprehensive rehabilitation exercise plan, modifying along the way as I gained strength and flexibility. Although I still have a lot of work to do, I am confident that Patrick will help me gain back my "ski form" in time for the first snowfall. I highly recommend Patrick and the Advanced Physiotherapy team. They are - simply the best!

Dorothy Lamb

Should have given a review when Advanced Physio first open its doors years ago ... but now I speak from years of treatment... it truly is as the name states, advanced Physio treatment... it has been extremely helpful, professional yet very friendly with treatments, programs, equipment available that not all Physio clinics offer ... throughout the ongoing years of my disease I have often found myself returning back to Advanced Physio, specifically Patrick for continued IMS treatment, laser treatment, and exercise plans ... I would certainly give this clinic a 5 star for so many reasons ... absolutely worth the drive if you do not live in White Rock

kathy bacile

I have been a client at Advanced Physiotherapy for over a year now. I have been treated for both arm and back issues. The receptionists are always welcoming and efficient. My physiotherapist, Prabhleen Puri, is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. And, just as important, she is empathetic and caring. Her clients' well-being is her priority. On more than one occasion, she has stayed late in order to help relieve my pain. I'm so thankful I found this office and Prabhleen.

Patricia Dressler

My physiotherapist is Prabhleen Puri. I can honestly say if it wasn’t for Prabhleens’ continuous efforts I would not be as successful as I am right now! Through all my pain and bad days Prabhleen’s professionalism and kind personality always made me feel better. I would totally recommend Prabhleen Puri for anyone in need of a physiotherapist.

Will Rogers

I've been to many different physio clinics, but Advanced Physio exceeds my expectations. Their facility is equipped with highly trained staff and have access to top of the line technology such as their MCU machine. I recommend booking with Harleen to relieve any aches or pain.

Lorna Alsip

Patrick and his staff have been my Physiotherapists since 2011. Prior to then I saw many different physios and never got the relief or help I needed. Once I started seeing Patrick I have never felt the need to go elsewhere. Advanced Physio are caring and professional and go above and beyond in their care. They are simply outstanding.

Phoebe Wang

Thanks to David Ko for prevailing professional practice and working enthusiasm. You always hits the point right away.

Carol Blacklaws

Pain and body aches from arthritis are no fun! However, after a session with Patrick Embley at Advanced Physiotherapy, I always walk away with knowledge, a treatment plan and an exercise regime that is guaranteed to work - if I do the exercises which I always do. The exercise program is specially designed for my body and is delivered through this excellent web service that has video clips of people doing the exercises and detailed explanations on how to do them correctly. It is an amazing program. Plus, I always leave the office happier than when I arrived because Patrick is kind, smart and has a great humour.

Mhel Reyes

David ko is awesome! I Highly recommend He's been treating my injured right shoulder and I'm truly grateful that I'm back in shape. He is knowledgeable and caring. Thank you Advanced physio staff. Stay safe!

Anisur R Khan

Careless and unprofessional, treated me 10 to 15 minutes for each session

Luke Melo

David Ko was very personable and knowledgeable. He helped diagnose and treat a finger injury I suffered playing basketball. He also gave me some useful rehab exercises to help with my recovery. I highly recommend my experience with David.

Steve Kish

The treatments and education have been totally effective. Patrick and his team are incredibly skilled, but also friendly, professional, and accommodating. While you cannot put a price on the quality of life, I am grateful that the team at Advanced Physiotherapy has allowed me to enjoy my active lifestyle to the fullest.

Rob Weiss

Our family has used the services of Advanced Physiotherapy on several occasions. I would highly recommend them. We have challenged them with a wide variety of shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries. The incredible staff team always rises to the occasion and treats us with compassion. Highly experienced and professional.Thank you Advanced Physiotherapy for your expert care.

Joanne Turner

I am very grateful to Patrick Embley and Everyone at Advanced Physiotherapy When I was referred to them I had been in a very Traumatic Bicycle Accident which put me in Trauma Unit in Hospital for 2 months The Care ,Attention , and Knowledge they possess is what makes them stand out from other Physiotherapists I would not be here able to walk through these doors without the hard work they put in daily Also the Welcoming you receive from Cathy and Jan when you arrive! Thankyou Joanne

Shawn McGroarty

Former pro skier that re-injured meniscus and MCL. The superior knowledge based professionalism and tremendous team effort by Patrick, Harleen and Michaela has been paramount in my recovery process. Give credit where credit is due. Thank you so very much!

Joan Hills

I have been extremely happy with the treatment I have received as a result of a car accident I was in a few months earlier. Harleen is very easy to talk to and has listened to what I have said and treated the injury appropriately. I would very highly recommend this business for anybody looking to see a physiotherapist.

Prabh M

Khushbu treated my sprained ankle with great care, patience, and thoroughness. It is clear she has a passion for physiotherapy and wants each of her clients to have long term success in managing/healing their injuries. I can't think of any practitioner that has gone above and beyond for me to the extent that Khushbu has.

Kathy Zhao

David Ko is very professional! He is nice and patient to help me release my aches and pains! Thanks, David! Well done!

Joan Glover

Advanced Physiotherapy was recommended to me by a family member who is also a PT. I had seen countless other physios and massage therapists for my chronic severe mid back and neck pain. None came close to providing me with the professional, knowledgeable care that I received at this clinic. My therapist Patrick combines his outstanding skills in diagnosis and treatment with compassion, caring, and an upbeat attitude that makes him very easy to be around. He is easy to communicate with and has a great sense of humour. Laughter is healing is it not? On the first visit I received a comprehensive assessment which was followed by treatments where I received IMS, manipulation, and laser. Patrick is present and hands on for the entire treatment. He also supplied me with exercises and stretches online which could be used at home as part of an integrated approach to healing. His treatment plan was always to get me free of pain and back to my regular activities. To that end he was instrumental in motivating me to return to swimming as quickly as possible to, as he said, " keep in front of this with exercise instead of medication." Great advice and thank you Patrick. I am now back doing regular exercise. I do not currently need to be attending the clinic but it is comforting to know that should I require treatment, that a clinic of this calibre is nearby. Patrick and the staff at Advanced Physio have exceeded expectations and been an enormous help to me. Thanks so much!! I recommend them absolutely. !!!

Mary Ellison

Advanced Physio is a very good place and all the staff are helpful and Flexible.

I went in to inquire about some services and I found the lady at the front desk to be very rude.

Nicole Csurdi

I've seen quite a few physiotherapists over the years and after my first visit I realized I had been wasting my time everywhere else. The staff here are extremely knowledgeable and have helped so much. They improved the range of motion in my neck ten fold with their equipment (only place I know of locally that has this machine) after I thought I'd be stuck that way forever. They have helped me tremendously along this journey and I would only recommend Advanced Physiotherapy.

Bal Deol

Excellent physiotherapy clinic, awesome staff, highly recommend it, Harleen is my physiotherapist and she’s amazing, and has helped my recovery with my accident.????

Shawn Singh

David is knowledgeable and very professional.Highly recommend.

Ian Gendall

After a few hamstring and calf issues I was recommended by a fellow rugby mate to try out Advanced Physiotherapy with Pat and his team. The professional service was fantastic and the treatment received (particularly IMS) and exercise recommended solved my longtime nagging muscle strains. I've been back for further treatment on arm and neck injuries and have always been satisfied. I highly recommend Advanced Physiotherapy for all your sports injuries. Thanks again to Pat and his team!!

iq hsu

I have been receiving physiotherapy treatment from Patrick and his team since my motor vehicle accident in early 2019. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and superb customer service. I have benefited from the treatment plan and improved a great deal. I would recommend Advanced Physiotherapy to anyone!

Les McBryer

I have been using Advanced Physiotherapy for about a year. Treating a very lousy cervical spine. At times severe pain issues. From the outset, Patrick has been very much significantly interested in the area of “ truly listening to my issues” & developing a solid sensible strategy of treatment. Also, very recently, he communicated to me in a very explainable way the results of my MRI.,Nice!!! Overall I have been very please with the clinic, from booking appointments right through to the treatment. High level of recommendation from me.

Pat Hansen

Advanced Physiotherapy is a first class and amazing physiotherapy clinic. I have been attending this clinic for several years with Patrick as my physiotherapist. As a retired physiotherapist I am very selective about therapists and treatments. Patrick has exceptional assessment skills,is a good listener,compassionate ,progressive and has a wicked sense of humour. I recommend this clinic very highly. The front staff are courteous and helpful. The equipment is state of the art. The other therapists I have not had the pleasure of working with ,but am confident that if they are in Patrick,s clinic, then they are also first class therapists. This past year working under Covid restrictions Patrick and all his staff have been fully compliant with the Public health orders. One need not have any reservations about attending this clinic during our current guidelines.

Katrinia Walter

David Ko is an excellent Physiotherapist. He listens, assesses and finds the right exercise program to help you heal and strength the problem areas. David will adjust the program to work with your body and abilities. He follows through with providing the exercise programs on email or handouts. David is very kind and thoughtful of his patients. Go see him.

Nikita Cote

I began seeing Patrick Embley for TMJ pain management a few years ago. From the first appointment I had with him to my last before moving to Germany, I was always impressed by his professionalism, positivity, humour and overall knowledge of the pain I was experiencing. I saw him about once every month for IMS treatments followed by laser therapy. He was always extremely careful with his use of the needles and made me feel very comfortable. (If only Patrick lived in Germany so I could continue my treatments!). Reception staff at Advanced were also very warm, welcoming and accommodating! Thank you to everyone at Advanced Physiotherapy for making each visit an enjoyable one!

ROBERT RATHWELL

I just wanted to take a moment to share the wonderful experience I’ve had with Patrick Embley and his front desk staff! I had the misfortune of putting my back out and could not stand, sit or sleep in one position for very long due to the severe pain! His office came highly recommended by a neighbour. The reception staff were very professional, polite and accommodating to fit me in as soon as possible ( within a day of calling actually), going over briefly the different types of therapy available, my choice of course was needling (IMS), very similar to acupuncture but not quite the same. Upon seeing Patrick, he was polite, professional and took time to speak to the possible cause of the problem and took further time to measure movements of my body before making any kind of diagnosis or right into therapy. That day the appt was at least an hour, although I had to come back for follow up due to limited motion in my back and torso I felt much better as far as getting back to normal day to day basic activity that we all take for granted the next few days! With needling (IMS), massage and heat I was almost back to normal after a number of appointments! Having said that a bit later I could move, bend, stretch much better than before my incident at work, all due to Patrick’s professional manner and knowledge he had received from many years of training in UBC etc. I’ve never had such devoted, accommodating staff members that all show they care so much about people in pain! I’ve since had the opportunity to refer many family members, friends or coworkers to Patrick’s practice and all have been very happy as well with the results. I have no problems thinking of his office and staff as a first choice when it comes to helping stop pain! Sincerely, R. RATHWELL Surrey, BC

Holly Verchere

The BEST Physio ever. Everyone here is excellent, although I have my favourites (you know who you are)????

Dave Budiman

I have been to Advanced Physiotherapy for several conditions. Their treatment methods have been customized to my issues, including: Back and Shoulder pain (IMS and strength exercises), torn achilles (range of motion, flexibility, and strength exercises) and a frozen shoulder (ultrasound, IMS and ROM exercises). I have been to other physiotherapists in the past, but will not go anywhere else since I've found Advanced. I definitely recommend Patrick Embley, although have had great success with Noah as well.

Chris Johnstone

Thanks to Joanne and Advanced Physio for the great work done to help me recover from hip replacement surgery. They have a friendly and efficient administrative staff who call to remind you of your appointment 24 hours in advance and take care of all appointments and billing’s easily. As for Joanne my physiotherapist she is super friendly and explains in detail the exercises required in great detail at the clinic as well what to work on when you go home. In addition the exercises are emailed to you after each session with detailed explanation of how to do. I would give Joanne and The Advanced Physio Staff A 10 out of 10 and recommend them to all who need any type of Rehab Physio Chris J White Rock BC

Davide Minchella

I have had two different injuries in the past few years and was treated by Patrick and Kevin respectively. Both were extremely knowledgeable, professional and developed a plan that helped me get pain free and back to regular activity. Highly recommended, great clinic, staff and location.

Dave Leslie

I had a knee replacement a month ago and I'm receiving physio twice a week from Harleen @ Advance Physiotherapy. Thanks to her procedures my recovery is progressing a lot better than I had anticipated!!

Barbara Coghlan

I have been going to this clinic for several years and been treated by several of the physiotherapists who are excellent. Recently I have been treated by Patrick Embley who is extremely knowledgeable and proficient in IMS and definitely goes the extra mile to ensure you get the best treatment possible and follow up. I would highly recommend Patrick and anyone in the clinic.

Perry F

Recently I meet Patrick after suffering from two dislocated shoulders from a seizure. Patrick was instrumental in my recovery, he was that knowledgeable liaison between my family Dr. & specialist . In his efforts to get me to 100% mobile, he was constantly reassessing my therapy and and the results. His inquisitive mind found specific problems that got me referred to the proper specialists. Without Patrick help, I don’t believe I would have recovered as well or speedily as I did. Thank you Patrick Sent from my iPad

Universal light

I've been to many other physiotherapists in the lower mainland; from burnaby and Vancouver. However, I've never felt as happy with my treatment as I do having it done here by Harleen. She makes the atmosphere of the appointment a happy one. She makes it feel like family.

Diane Desilets

I have been Patrick Embley’s patient for many years. For various reasons my back has flared up over the years. Patrick has always resolved my issues. He is the most knowledgeable, comptent and efficient physiotherapist ever. If he can’t resolve your issue no one can. I have referred family members and friends to him and they have been very happy as well. He is the best!!

al H

Went to Advanced Physio on advice from a friend after being in a Car Accident. Patrick is super super professional. He did a full assessment of me on the 1st visit and then started work on me. I'm very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, capability and interest in me as a patient. Highly, highly recommend Advanced Physio.

Marguerite

I have been going to Advanced Physiotherapy for 3 months since a second shoulder reconstruction surgery following an MVA. I am glad that I randomly chose this place because of the location. I appreciate the level of professionalism and academic knowledge offered in this clinic. My therapist Harleen is highly educated and dedicated. She is serious about my recovery, explains what we are doing and she is clear about our goals and my role in continuing my exercises at home in between visits. Everything is precisely documented for records. I also appreciate the compassion I have felt here. Sometimes, I have been in too much pain to move and my session was adapted for immediate pain relief instead. The clinic is very clean, well run and efficient. Staff is friendly, hours are convenient. When my therapist was sick once, the manager Patrick saw me instead of cancelling my appointment. He was obviously educated, passionate and knowlegeable as well. I also appreciate the customized exercises that have been emailed to me on an app.

Patty Branson

This is by far the best run clinic I've been to. The receptionists are pleasant and knowledgeable about my ICBC claim. If my appointment is at 10:00, I'm in a private room at 10:00 with my wonderful therapist, Prableen, not far behind. Treatment is mostly hands on and she is with me for the bulk of the appointment. If I do get hooked up to a machine, she checks on me every 5 minutes. I have never felt like i've been forgotten or left wondering if anybody is ever going to get to me. If I could give Prableen and Advanced 10 stars, I would.

paul andersen

Well run clinic with excellent treatments tailored to meet the clients needs Harleen Kalra takes the time to learn about the problem treats the situation with proven treatments that really help to resolve the issue I highly reccomend this clinic.

Lana Deeter

My experience was one of a most thorough and caring professional environment. Patrick looks at all possibilities so you understand the range of the problem and the treatment process. He follows up with exercise video instructions. I felt very well looked after. Lana
