When my Doctor referred me here 30 years ago, I was amazed as to how my walking became pain free. I soon realised that when your foot alignment is wrong, this causes, ankle alignment problems which causes knee alignment problems and finally lower back problems. Don't go anywhere else. Jim has given my life better quality. I buy 2 pair every year ans although my insurance company only covers half of the bill, I would gladly pay the whole bill to obtain the comfort that Jim provided. You won't know the benefit to you until you get measured and start walking on air. Peter Shea, Edmonton Alberta

I had several sessions with Sylyanne and she was remarkable. Her kind, comforting demeanor put me at ease. She gave me the corrective exercises and made sure I was executing them properly.

Sylyanne is very knowledgeable and always was able to determine what was going on. I definitely recommend Sylyanne for any physical issues that you need help with.

Incompetent business…read more I went to this shop on September 4, 2019 to find a pair of therapeutic shoes along with the orthotics themselves. These were to be paid through my insurance, which is where I usually send the request to, but the orthopedist said that they prefer to send it, so I had given the electronic contact information for my insurance to him. On September 18th, I phoned my insurance company to ask why I haven't received a notice for approval. According to them, they hadn't received the request from Custom Orthopedic. I immediately contacted Custom Orthopedic and the orthopedist claimed to have sent the request himself and that the insurance company is mistaken. Once again I sent the contact information directly to the orthopedist in addition to the contact information for the insurance supervisor. The orthopedist said that he would phone back the following Friday. He never did. After phoning Custom Orthopedic on September 21, I learned that the request to the insurance company was sent by fax, not email. This suggests that the fax could've gone anywhere since I hadn't given them the fax number that my insurance uses for this purpose. The person that I had spoken to didn't seem to care about the situation and directed my concern to the owner who would not be available until the following Monday. I've decided that if I have to wait another month for orthotics, I may as well get them through a different orthopedist.

IMS) I found my current favourite physiotherapist back in 2018 after my previous massage therapist left practice, and she is FANTASTIC! Not a huge fan of acupuncture (bad experiences before) but for some bewildering reason I respond really well to IMS treatment like dry needling (Like the old Buckleys commercial "it hurts, and it works") Most of the time I go for needles it basically fixes my muscle issues like the next day (unless it's really bad maybe another treatment or 2) Man I'd be so messed up without this as a last resort when chiropractic or massage attempts fail to bring relief (the cons of being hyper flexible lol...) Coupled with some cupping therapy, heat packs and mobility stretching, they guide me back to my normal active disposition ‍ ‍ Highly recommend

To his credit, the owner was friendly and appeared knowledgeable while doing his assessment on me. However, the service all fell apart when he then delegated the work to his assistants-a collection of apathetic, 20 something undergrads who cared less about care than rushing though a demonstration exercise so that they can get back to their social media. The 'sweatshop' atmosphere of the therapist working with 15-20 patients simultaneously, didn't exactly put me at ease of getting hands on quality care. I also understood that the most important part of recovery was to do the recommended exercises prescribed by the care-provider independently. However, the generic exercises he gave me to do at home appeared to aggravate my injuries further. When I attempted to contact the therapist by phone to ask for guidance, I was told he would get back to me ASAP. He called 2 weeks after my initial call. By then, I was already involved with MOMENTUM Physiotherapy recovering nicely(See my review). To sum up, my experience was awful in that instead of receiving care for my injury, I was being processed like a piece of meat going through an assembly line, where squeezing as many people into a workspace supersedes actual care.
