I have had chronic neck and back pain for over 20 yrs and for most of that time managed my symptoms with chiropractic treatments which for a long time kept my pain at bay. However as the years progressed and my back got worse chiro stopped working for me. I finally decided to give physio a try and was referred to the clinic where Kim was working at the time. The person I was actually referred to didn't have any openings that day and so I was given an appt. with Kim. It was meant to be and I am beyond thankful! After living with pain every day to some degree or another, after seeing Kim, there are many days, weeks where I am completely pain free! Not only is she a lovely person; fun, positive, funny, kind, she is awesome at what she does! She has used a number of different techniques with me and two of my favourites are acupuncture and IMS. I never thought I would say that but I encourage anyone to be open to try these if recommended by Kim. I had and continue to have amazing results with both. I can't say enough good about Kim. If you need a physio, give her a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Upper ankle sprain, lower ankle sprain, tendonitis issues, etc. Whatever issue or problem I came to Kim with, she found a solution and a great way to get me back on track again. Most important, you find this rare combination of incredible knowledge and true care for her patients, that made me come back and I will for sure return again if I ever have to (fingers crossed that there is no need to, sorry Kim..). Extra information: if you look for electro acupuncture therapy, as far as I know, this is the only place in downtown that actually offers it. My experience with this treatment is that it (at least for me) is superior to normal acupuncture, as the electronic stimulation adds an extra stimulus and helped me to regenerate way better, while normal acupuncture by far did not show those results for me. read more

I've seen Kim for a variety of injuries over the past few years. She has a great demeanor and is extremely communicative regarding what she is doing during treatment and the exercises clients need to undertake between and after treatments. I've had acupuncture and IMS from her on countless occasions (I am not someone who would let just anybody stick needles into them). She is very skilled at both acupuncture and IMS. I have never had an issue with either and feel great almost immediately after IMS every time. Kim is gifted at making clients feel at ease and I've recovered quickly after seeing her to treat all of my injuries, which included: low back pain, pulled hamstring, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff, bicep tendon, and neck pain from whiplash. read more

I highly recommend Kim. Not only is she highly professional, she genuinely cares about your well-being. I came to see her about a pain in my shoulder that I had had for over a year. In no time, she made the pain disappear. It was amazing! I could actually put on my coat without that awful excruiating pain. It's been several months and that pain has not once returned. She gave me a list of exercises to perform so as to strengthen the muscles in the area. Not only that, she followed up with me to make sure that I was doing them. I love a therapist who holds me accountable. I would not hesitate recommending Kim to anyone! Go see her! She'll make you feel like new again! read more

Woo to the hoo, indeed! Kim McArthur is one of the best physiotherapists I have ever seen. She treats and assesses your entire body and gets to the core of the issue (s) quickly and effectively. i have been seeing her for over 5 years, relating to post-surgery problems, as well as newly onset arthritis affecting many different parts of my body. One of her greatest strengths is explaining what she is doing, or why you are doing specific exercises, in terms that are easily understood. She is also a great listener and great to be around! Even when in pain, I can't help but leave with a smile on my face. Highest marks and highest recommendations! read more

Kim first treated me two years ago for a knee injury caused by a spectacular fall off my horse. She had me back in the saddle in no time! Since the she has treated me for other injuries including low back pain. Kim is a very skilled and knowledgeable physiotherapist who is able to diagnose and treat effectively. Working in partnership with her patients (yes, you are expected to do the exercises she prescribes - they aren't onerous and they definitely work) she develops and follows a plan to move her patient forward to optimal health. Kim is caring and kind and has a great sense of humor. Highly, highly, highly recommended! read more

I started seeing Kim a few years ago and she is awesome! She was also a huge help when I was experiencing back and sciatic pain. Kim took lots of time with me to get to the root of the pain and I never felt rushed during my appointments. When I was really suffering she made frequent appointments with me and always checked in over email. The sessions are also always fun. She has a great way of explaining what she is looking for and usually comes up with great names for the exercises she assigns you. I still do my "Jane Fonda's" as per her instruction. She is a great person and excellent physio, highly recommend her services! read more

If you need a physiotherapist, Kim is the best. I was dealing with neck and upper back pain for a year before I found Kim. I tried what felt like everything and since seeing Kim, I'm pain free, stronger and more aware of my posture while I'm working. I work in theatre which can mean at times my job is highly physical and at other times sitting for hours at a computer writing. I have recommended others to Kim and they have been just as happy as me. She helps you understand why your body is reacting the way it is and implements ways to fix and prevent it happening again. I can not recommend her enough. read more

I've been to Kim in the past to rehab after various sports injuries (Me = Desk worker to Ultimate/Weekend Warrior. Injuries = Rolled ankle and tear in ACL/PCL/MCL in left knee). Went today for a preventative assessment before going hardcore into my summer season and she is as good as I remember. She understands what you're going through, straightforward with her assessments and keeps you on track so that you can go do what you need to do as fast/efficiently as possible. I've recommended her to people and co-workers in the past year and they have all been happy with her service. read more

I have an office job and sitting for long periods of time caused really bad back pain. When I first saw Kim my back was so stiff I could barely get out of bed in the morning. After receiving IMS treatments and doing regular stretching and ab exercises prescribed by Kim, my back pain has totally subsided. I have found Kim's services to not only be excellent for recovery and healing, but excellent in terms of maintenance. Kim is very knowledgeable, professional and makes you feel comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim for any type of physiotherapy. read more

Kim is the best! I have chronic knee pain from overuse and mild arthritis, and was looking at significant restrictions to my physical activities - ie. no stairs, no walking, etc. I went to several other practitioners with little or no results. But Kim developed a program of exercise and treatments to get my knees working much better and to help me keep mobile. She also helped me understand how to manage my knee issues in order to keep them as healthy, strong, and pain free as possible. I even completed a Tough Mudder! Woohoo! Thanks Kim! read more

After years working at a desk job, combined with wear and tear, I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for a number of years that eventually got to the point I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. I was in constant pain and tried various treatments, with only limited success, until I went to see Kim. I can't say enough, she has been AMAZING! After a few visits of IMS treatments, I felt a significant difference in my condition and with continued treatments combined with physiotherapy, Kim has put me on the path to recovery. read more

I had frayed some ligaments in my shoulder and with Kim's excellent physio rehabilitation techniques I was able to restore my shoulder to full working order. A year later, I returned with a strained calf muscle and once again Kim used her skills to restore it to health. I highly recommend her for her physio abilities, her knowledge of how the body works, and her ability to communicate the problems and solutions when one is in physical pain. She also has a very dry sense of humour, which gets high marks in my book. read more

Kim was recommended to me by multiply co-workers. Like many I sit at a desk for majority of my day and developed shoulder pain. Kim listened to my issues and developed a plan to resolve my shoulder pain and started me on a plan to minimize the possibility of it happening again. Kim also continued to assist me when I was pregnant with hip and lower back pain. I continue to go see Kim whenever I have any aches or pains and know that she will be able to diagnose and treat the issue. read more

Over the years, I had been seeing different massage therapists and chiropractor for a chronic problem but wasn't getting better. Then about five years ago I started seeing Kim at a colleague's recommendation and I haven't regretted it. She treated my hip & back problem with physio and acupuncture at that time. I have continued seeing her for other issues and maintenance. She is excellent at what she does and is also very easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Kim is by far the most skilled and caring physio I've ever dealt with. I have been seeing Kim for the past four years on and off for chronic neck issues as well as every injury I find myself enduring along the way.

Although I've relocated to outside Vancouver, I continue to commute to Kim's office to see her as I cannot imagine finding a better therapist. read more
