He walked me through each step so that I would understand exactly what was going on with my body and what he needed to do. In the end, I had Massage Therapy, Acupuncture; and a main focus on physical therapy to fix what was wrong and make adjustments to my daily life yo help endure that it wouldn't happen again. The office/studio is very clean, has everything that you need and Castra is a great guy. Furthemore, his rates were so reasonable, that I was able to go twice a week for over a month and the results were successful. I would HIGHLY recommend the East Brampton Physiotherapy clinic to anyone suffering from chronic pain or those wanting to make healthy adjustments to their lives to avoid pain in the future.

I'm writing this review to clarify Peter's bodywork. I often see reviews for massage that say very…read morelittle to enlighten you and it's so subjective. Saying things like,"excellent massage" aren't helpful for clients looking for a specific type of work. I'll break Peter's work down into a few categories which are all of equal importance: KNOWLEDGE - Peter has an encyclopedic understanding of anatomy of the human body. He knows all the muscle (not just the main muscle groups) along with their origin and insertion points. Why does this help? Because you can work muscles along any of three points: origin, insertion and the muscle belly itself (as well as the fascial layers). With this knowledge and understanding of the location, you can work a particularly stubborn area a multitude of ways that are harder for therapists that don't have a good working knowledge of anatomy. Peter was also previously a personal trainer and is a current bodybuilding competitor so he knows the body from different perspectives: a normal person, an athlete, and a trainer. INTUITION - I am a massage therapist and it's rare to find another therapist who has Peter's level of intuition. This is obviously more subjective and harder to quantify (and likely something that's not even noticed by non-therapists). What I mean by this is his ability to listen/feel the muscle and to know precisely when to stay on it, when it's about to release and when to push through it. This is a skill that you either have or you don't. I have been to many massages where the therapist has zero intuitive sense of the body and they basically force their way through the muscles. This results in unnecessary additional soreness and doesn't help to relax the muscles. This makes his sessions less painful (compared to an un-intuitive therapist) and more effective. The body gives you clues when it's ready and Peter listens! PRESSURE - also a subjective area. Pressure, to me, is enough force to cause release of the adhesion. With an un-intuitive therapist so much force is used that I'm gritting my teeth, I've stopped breathing and I'm involuntarily contracting the exact muscle they are trying desperately to release (causing the therapist to use even more force to get it to release: result unnecessary soreness and likely the muscle never even fully released and still causes pain). I love deep tissue massage and I have a fairly high pain tolerance and I found that Peter was phenomenal about taking you right to that edge (where the pain building and could get very intense quickly but doesn't). If you listen to the body, it tells you exactly how much pressure is needed. I was recommended to Peter by my brother upon my visit to Canada. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had such a well rounded combination of skills, which makes him a PHENOMENAL bodyworker. I will be setting up a massage with Peter every time I visit my brother...or maybe I'll see my brother every time I come to visit Peter ;-).

Physiotherapy is the only thing that could make my arm fully rotational with the level of strength I had prior to the operation. I went to Cornell and I trusted them. Guess what. The results are amazing and I am going to play Tennis this summer after a gap of only six months. I attribute this fast recovery to the manual therapy (to the right muscles and tendons at the right time) they provided me with a lot of enthusiasm. I would recommend them to anyone.

He also taught me a lot of stretching and strengthening exercises that I routinely do now. Thank you Sean for being there on my healing journey :)

Ming Fai Chan is the primary doctor here and is very experienced within joint pains, back pains,…read moreacupuncture and massage therapy with many many years practicing and has obtained an MD at University of Toronto and a lot of practice in China. He and his wife both run this clinic - they combine both western and eastern medicine and practices to treat a variety of bone and joint problems. His wife has experience in acupuncture and I heard she is very experienced as well. In the eastern culture it is believed that acupuncture, especially from a master, could be very impactful. From my experience, I've been having problems with my shoulder ever since I was young - this involves overstretched and stressed tendons in and around the joint of my shoulders. This causes occasional pain when doing exercises in certain angles that were bad for my shoulders or playing aggressive sports such as hockey or ultimate frisbee. I've been to a variety of doctors and physiotherapists who were unable to exactly diagnose to problem or help me heal it. Going to this clinic drastically improved my shoulder joints made it feel a lot better and essentially healed it. He provided me with exercises, medical patches and tips on to preserve the state of my shoulder. I recommend anybody with persistent joint pain anywhere on their body to go see this doctor, because he's very diligent and able to resolve the problem immediately. There are some caveats though that it's very expensive, this treatment cost me thousands of dollars and he doesn't speak English well because he primarily practices in Cantonese. His hours are flexible and the clinic works as a mix of walk-ins and appointments. During core hours you should be able to walk-in, but it's safe to make an appointment and the doctors are usually lenient and will try to accommodate you.

Chan Ming Fai is horrible. He claimed he was able to "pop" my bone of my spine back in and he DID…read moreNOT do this. Instead, after my adjustment, he caused a compression fracture that was not there before! I know this because the day after the adjustment/ manipulation, I felt so much pain with a fever, I went into emergency, they did an MRI of my spine and told me whatever Chan Ming Fai did (from comparison to my recent MRI), they could see that it was worse. When I went to a more well known chiropractor, he stated the manipulation Chan Ming Fai did on me (from my description of what happened), should have NEVER been done on anyone!! Chan Ming Fai IS TERRIBLE!!! Beware. Secondly, he disclosed other patient information to me. He showed me a patient's information form with the name, phone number, date of birth and their diagnosis and how he helped this person, this is unprofessional and illegal. In fact, as I write this, I am looking up how to report this. Lastly, some of the things he said did not make sense. I was desperate and made a mistake in believing him. I regret it. When I tell others, I find more people that is telling me their horrible experience and that he is a fake. Its one thing he cannot help you, it's horrible when he hurt you from his treatment and make you in a worse pain than you originally was suffering. He should not perform manipulations on people when he is unsure or inexperienced.
