I suppose I don't have much to compare this experience to, since I've never been to another…read moreOsteopath before Maria, but I had such an amazing experience here, it's worth five stars in itself. If you've never been to an Osteopath, it's a form of natural medicine that combines moving, stretching and massaging of your joints and muscles. I have a lot of chronic pain and suffer from migraines, and I'm always up for trying something to help that isn't traditional medication (i.e. more pills). A friend of mine sees Maria, and swears that she has changed her life, so I thought I'd give it a try. Maria is one of the most wonderful people you will ever meet. Her warmth and kindness is evident from the minute you walk into her office (which is located in a beautiful old house just across from Bridgehead on Wellington and Holland), and her calm and soft spoken nature is relaxing and really helped me feel comfortable. Her huge amount of knowledge is clear in her speech, but also evident in the several certificates and degrees on her wall. I went for an initial consultation which was about an hour and fifteen minutes and cost about $120. Maria took the time to do a complete exam and immediately identified problems with my neck (and a bunch of other things!) and asked me a ton of questions about my overall health. She also recommended a specific naturopath to deal with my chronic pain, and gave me a audio recording to help with sleep. She detailed a treatment plan for me, and I'm really excited to start! I already felt better after the one visit, and I think this is absolutely something anyone with pain issue should check out.

I have never experienced such marked and lasting results with any other modality or practitioner. I now see Dominick for maintenance. The chronic pain I was living with is virtually gone. In addition, I now have someone that I can rely on when new health issues come up. I highly recommend Dominick's unique approach to osteopathic treatment.

One UCL prof said that "in the more than 120 years since osteopathy was invented, there is still no…read moreconvincing evidence that it works." Now I understand why he said that. During my initial appointment,​ Justine provided me with no explanation of my quite uncomfortable condition. In fact, she said very little and she did very little during the appointment (slight touching apparently counts.) She then asked me to come back in a month. Seriously, what can change in a month in my system from slight palm touching? If you​​r read scientific articles on PubMed, you will find that there is a low level of evidence that Osteopathy is effective at all. For a placebo effect,​ there are much cheaper options. Please see a qualified massage therapist, a chiropractor or a reputable ND/MD for your condition. Don't waste your time and health on those pseudo​-doctors.

If you've read my review about the Holistic Clinic, you'll know that I have plantar faciitis that…read moreis a real *female dog* to keep under control. I started doing Pilates because I hadn't tried it, thought it might help my core strength, and probably wouldn't hurt my feet. I didn't anticipate that it would help my feet. As a result of the core stability that I've gained, I have started running again and am over-the-moon. Everyone that I have interacted with at Pilates Space has been great, whether it's Laura and Charlie responding to my emails, doing private sessions with Charlie and Nataliya, or doing duet classes with Charlie and Jane. Charlie took a particular interest in my foot issues and made some recommendations on Melt Method techniques I could use to alleviate the tension, which I have used at home with great success. At first I didn't like that I needed to complete and Intro program to be able to participate in group classes, but after doing the program I realized it's value: I learned a lot, I met a number of instructors, and now that I know how classes progress, I won't be a nuisance with too many questions. I have always found the space to be clean and the lockers (in the women's change room, at least) have key locks available for free - note: not all the lockers have locks, so you might to have a back-up lock with you. I'm not a Pilates guru but I like being in places where I feel valued and appreciated and where other class members talk to each other, and I get this from Pilates Space.

This is the first place I've ever had physiotherapy at and I'm extremely impressed. It's located…read moreinside Carleton University and the price is very reasonable compared to other physiotherapy clinics that I've heard about. They obviously specialize in sports related injuries, but I'm pretty sure anyone can make an appointment if they have a physician's referral. If your health insurance covers physiotherapy, you'll be glad to know that they are registered so you can claim it. I injured my shoulder 4 years ago and this past summer it became aggravated, most likely as a result of cycling. A friend first recommended seeing a sports doctor at the medical clinic also located inside the university, which I did, and he recommend physiotherapy treatment while waiting for an MRI appointment. Out of convenience, I visited the Sports Therapy Clinic here. I've had about 10 appointments to date and feel 100% better than when I started. During my initial assessment, it was also determined that I likely had a pinched nerve in my neck which was contributing to my problems. So I'm being treated for both my shoulder and my neck at each appointment. My physiotherapist is friendly and professional, and doesn't hesitate to constantly remind me of my poor posture to help me improve. She explains everything about what's going on in my shoulder and my neck so I'm fully aware of extent of the problem. When I'm hooked up the electrotherapy machine I usually watch others receiving their physiotherapy treatment and I can see that everyone here knows their stuff. My appointment times are almost always right when they're supposed to be. Only once was it a little late. I highly recommend this clinic. There is plenty of parking, but you will have to pay at one of the machines. I think $4 gets you just over an hour. Don't try to get away without paying -- I always see the parking patrol checking cars. :)
