LISA DESPRÉS, PT - ACTIVE RUNNING REVIEWS
Five stars isn't enough. I Would highly recommend getting your running shoe's from Lisa and active running. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Lisa takes her time to find you the right fit of shoe's for your needs, this is much better service than what you would expect from most sporting stores.
I first went to see Lisa at Active Running because of a running related injury. She was able to get me back to competition form quickly. Now I go there on a regular basis for injury prevention. Active Running provides excellent customer service and patient care. Thanks Active Running for helping me remain injury free and reaching my running goals.
Best customer service hands down. The ladies are right...comfort beats colour

MARTIN PAYNE, B.SC PT MCISC(MT), FCAMPT - MANUAL PHYSIO SOLUTIONS REVIEWS
I’ve been seeing Martin Payne for 8 years for an injury and he keeps me going. Yesterday I had an appointment and coincidentally had injured myself in a new way. I didn’t think it was something that he could help with and it was a “rest and time heals” situation. He quickly diagnosed the issue and treated me. I could barely walk in and I walked out almost pain free! I highly recommend Martin and Manual Physio Solutions. In addition to their ability, they always make me feel welcome, like friends or family when I’m there.
I have had chronic foot pain that I was never able to get relief from. One visit to Martin Payne and my pain was down by at least 80%. It was unbelievable. I am overwhelmed by the amazing service and knowledge of Martin and his staff. They truly care.
Martin is Always in a Good Mood Staff is great always clean !!
