MICHAL KAPIC, DOMP - ACTIVE THERAPY OSTEOPATHY CLINIC REVIEWS
I am new to seeing an Osteopath and have mostly seen Mehrdad Darvish. He has helped me immensely (understatement) in a very short time with a long standing ankle issue. His background as an orthopedic surgeon (licensed abroad) is a tremendous asset. I have also seen Michal and Kirsten on occasion with an equally positive experience. The front staff have been great and have been very accommodating. Excellent experience overall and I am VERY thankful.
I saw Samuel for the first time this morning.I have been very hesitant about finding an RMT on the North Shore after having multiple bad Experiences. I am so glad I took the leap with Samuel. He was destined to be on this career path. His energy is so calm and kind it really makes the whole experience worth while. I went in n with severe shoulder pain, I can now saw I am feeling 99% better after only one session. His technique is phenomenal as well he took the time after our massage to go over tips and tricks on how to help my pain in the future. I will for sure be returning to see Samuel. Thank you so much.
I had been experiencing chronic back pain from a prior spinal injury for three years, and had seen a physiotherapist, physiatrist, and a neurosurgeon...all had misdiagnosed the cause of the pain based on MRI imaging and put me on a course of treatment that was ineffective. On my first visit with Dr. Mehrdad Darvish, he identified the real root cause of the pain and treated it effectively in under an hour. His prior experience as an orthopaedic surgeon was invaluable and he took the time to review my MRI imaging himself and explain to me what he was seeing in depth so that I can take appropriate actions to prevent further issues over the long term. I am so grateful to be able to walk pain free again.

MELITA HATTON, BAPPSC (OST) - WEST COAST OSTEOPATHY & WELLNESS REVIEWS
I have been a patient of Melita's for many years. She is a crucial support for me. She has helped me through more acute issues such as concussion recovery, and the recovery after 2 major surgeries. And also more general support and maintenance, such as misalignments within my body, nervous system support and improved function overall, like sleep, digestion and more inner harmony. One thing I am always amazed at, is how shallow my breath becomes in daily living, and after a treatment, my breath is back. I would not be as well as I am today without Melita! Thank you Melita for your continued support and care!!!! I also did a series of work with Hypnotherapist, Karen Woodfeild. This was an exceptional process where she helped me deal with some issues I was confronting. These were issues I had struggled with life long, and I could not resolve them directly - I had tried everything. Karen's approach with hypnotherapy led me into my conscious awareness, below the level of thoughts and feelings, where real healing was possible. Thank you Karen - I am forever grateful!
I have been seeing Melita on and off for many years for as many different reasons. For example she has treated my chronic lower back pain and post-anesthetic reactions. In my experience osteopathic treatment itself is non invasive and gentle, and Melita is extra gentle in providing effective treatment. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and keeps up with the latest through continuing education. Even though it will normally be a problem I go see her for, I always look forward to my visit and treatment.
Martin is a fantastic Osteopath. Very insightful and willing to teach you about the body if you want to get technical. I am extremely active, participating in high impact sports and I tend to build up tightness around certain joints quite quickly. After just one session I feel like I am walking normally again after adjustments to my hip, ankle and neck.The clinic is also very clean and well maintained. I will definitely be coming back for tune ups throughout the year!

CHRISTOPHE LACOUR, DOMP - FLUID MOTION CLINIC OF OSTEOPATHY REVIEWS
I highly recommend Marjorie Dufresne-Gagnon! In my first treatment with her, she gently assessed both the strengths and trouble spots in my back and shoulders, explained how they might have developed and offered practical suggestions for ways in which I could begin to bring them back into balance. She is a knowledgable practitioner and excellent teacher who gave me empowering information about my own body and how to care for it. I appreciated her enthusiasm for her work and her skills in creating change both in my body and my relationship with it. Thank you, Marjorie!
I've been seeing Christophe Lacour for my back problems for the last 3 years. Recently, I went to see him for my lower back pain and he told me to do some blood test because he noticed my neck was a little bit swollen. I'm very thankful I went to him because I found out later I have a very under active thyroid and needed treatment right away. I can't thank him enough because he literary saved my life.
I had a chronic issue with my foot and ankle and was headed for surgery. I had seen a couple specialists and was getting cortisone injections. I had almost given up on it. I went to see Bradley Cornwell for a different issue and told him to just leave my foot and ankle alone. He explained everything is connected and he will need to treat it along with the rest of my body. I agreed and thank god I did!!!! Thanks to him I have mobility in my foot and ankle, I no longer have cortisone injections and I did not have a surgery, and what’s even more amazing is that I’m jogging again! Nice and slow but who cares! I was told I wasn’t ever going to be able to again! It took roughly a year of regular treatments but my entire body is better than it’s been in many years! I am so so grateful to Bradley, and will always sing his praises, he changed my life for the better and I am so appreciative of that.
