Gastown Physio & Pilates

Here is an update;
After leaving a review I was contacted by Ashley the clinic manager, she wanted to know my name and number to follow up with the physician… after responding to her email, I never heard back from her or any member of gas town Physio and Pilates again… talk about customer service!
In addition, I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, which is a muscular issue, basically you get muscle spasm in your buttocks and it irritates the sciatic nerve, hence the never ending sessions of dry needling that the physician at gas town Physio put me through… since then I found out I had zero issue with my muscle! In fact I had two bulging discs on my L¾ and L5/​S1 and a herniation on my L4/​5. Talk about getting misdiagnosed! :(

Great front desk staff and clinicians, easy location, and they send you appointment notifications over email. Working on just general wellness and stress management with a physio, and they’re providing a range of options and exercises. Just starting, but very happy so far.

This is hands down by far the best physiotherapy clinic I have visited in Vancouver.
I have been to a few different clinics for stretches of half a year at a time for a torn/​reconstructed ACL and chronic neck and back pain.
The staff at this office really take the time to listen to my problems and I never feel that they are rushed because they need to see the next client. My initial visit involved the most thorough initial assessment I’ve had at any of the clinics I have been to. Not only that, but the follow up assessments to track my progress are also much more involved than I have experienced in the past. I have been to other clinics where the physiotherapist is juggling an unfair amount of clients at the same time and I’ll never go through that again.
It’s a bit tricky to find the place as there is no signage, but the entrance door is smack in between the entrances to Café Medina and Chambar. The street parking rates are the cheapest in the city and there is a large parking lot across the street if all the street spaces are occupied.
I cannot more strongly endorse this office. I urge any of you who are reading this who are looking for a physiotherapist to look no further and just make an appointment here.

With a concussion and a whiplash neck injury, my motion was really restricted and I couldn’t wait to go back to normal life & play soccer again. After numerous doctors’ visits, finally, one of them recommended I give PHYSIO a shot and thank god I was sent to Marc.
Marc and even Chelsea on his team were truly knowledgeable, caring, understanding and did their best to get me back to soccer asap. I started feeling a difference since the first session and what do you know, within a month I felt great again.
The physio & acupuncture quality is top notch; the overall vibe is excellent. I really recommend this place.
PS. Better get your time slots early and reserved because those guys get fully booked really quick

Convenient location with great parking & commuting options. The atmosphere is amazing — the epitome of healthy, relaxation and healing. I am seeing Mark for physio, he spends a great deal of time listening to my issues and working to determine the root cause. He is extremely responsive in person and with email when I have questions. I’m seeing immediate positive responses to my treatment. All the staff I have encountered have been super friendly and helpful. They care about the little details here and even have four different type of real fruit infused water to enjoy pre/​post appointment.
On your way out make sure you stop in at Chambar for a world famous waffle :) Yum!

Felt a wash of gratitude for the people at this place today after noticing, again, how much better I’m doing as a result of having been a client here. Mark, Ona, Ryan, Jessica, Geneva, Jessalyn, Ron, Marilyn, Kobi, and Chelsea (in the order I met them) are knowledgeable, talented, and experienced people who really helped work a miracle.
Thought what I had was just too weird to be fixed, but with time and keeping the things I learned from them in mind, I get better and better.
Front staff, like Danielle, are über-​efficient and friendly.
Place, itself, clean and airy and located in a neighbourhood with character (nice to wander through before/​after appointments).
The prices, I now realize, were very competitive.

Tucked away between Café Medina and Chambar, is some physio goodness.
Parking is available at T&T nearby if you want. Just go buy some groceries afterwards to redeem your tickets.
The entrance is actually pretty difficult to find. It looked like the front door to some apartment building. but yes, you have the correct place.
The reception is nice and trendy-​looking. While waiting in that area, they have 3 types of flavoured water (orange, lemon, and cucumber). All 3 are quite tasty.
The rooms are a bit on the small side, but they really do a good job of making them look a bit larger, especially with the nice wooden panels on the ceiling. Makes the place look a lot more peaceful and serene.
My physiotherapist was Chelsea, and she knows her stuff. When I explained to her about certain knots in my muscles, she did a few really hard «presses» and they magically went away for a few hours. When she wanted me to do certain exercises and I was having trouble, she had a nice long list of examples to get me to do them properly, saying things such as «imagine someone’s pulling on the top of your head with a string».
Lastly, the receptionist Ashley is really great. She was able to book multiple appointments for me, and followed up several times, delivering on all of her promises. Special mention.
As I haven’t tried any other physio places, I honestly don’t have much to compare against. However, I will be using this place as a benchmark from this day forward.
