I came to Sport & Spine after dealing with a lingering lower abdominal issue – a problem area for many years. Since re-aggravating this area, I had difficulty sleeping and avoided heavy lifting as these activities would only intensify my discomfort. I was concerned surgery was the only answer, until I met Sandra. In just 12 weekly appointments, Sandra not only relieved me of any discomfort, but also identified the underlying cause, stemming from improper recovery from a hernia surgery years prior. Sandra has provided me with exercises that have rewired my brain into loading the areas I had been protecting all these years. As a result, I sleep through the night, I have regained the confidence to utilize this forgotten part of my body, the best of all, NO SURGERY! Thank you Sandra

On October 15, 2021 I dislocated my knee in P.E. class playing dodgeball. A few years earlier I had broken the same leg and never fully recovered. At first I was too scared to even bend my knee. Sandra used laser therapy to help with the pain. She set goals for me to accomplish and boosted my confidence. There was multiple days when I lost confidence and didn’t feel like doing anything. For months I couldn’t play P.E. and that made me really frustrated. My friends asked to skip out so they could stay with me. Some of the exercises really hurt, but I kept telling myself it would be worth it in the end. Sandra knows what she’s doing and gives you confidence you’ve never had before. Thank you!

Came with back pain that affected most daily activities. Began working on core issues and noticed relief quickly. I can now recognize situations that affect pain and can correct my body accordingly. Thank you for giving me the tools to live pain free.

When I started with Sandra I had shooting pain down both legs, numbness in my hamstring and definitely couldn’t sit for very long. I am very active going to the gym at least 4 times a week, riding my bike to work, golfing and skiing but was unable to do those things when I first started with Sandra. What I liked about Sandra’s approach to physio was she didn’t focus directly on the area of pain but what other parts of the body could be causing the issue. She gave me different kinds of exercises and acupuncture and now I’m pain free and back doing all of my activities.

I came to Sandra with a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back. I had recent issues due to a strained bicep and every workout was accompanied by a lot of pain. It impacted my ability to work, drive, do school work, enjoy walks with my dog, and even sleep at night. At times I felt as though it would never get any better. Working with Sandra has been amazing. She has taught me so much about how my body can move, how my breathing impacts me, and has helped me achieve a range of motion I didn’t know was possible for me. I am back to working out five days a week, can get through my shifts at work, enjoy walking my dog and best of all I experience no pain! I feel strong and healthy! Physiotherapy was the best decision for me and the experience has been life changing!

I was in a terrible amount of pain that ruined my daily activities. I couldn’t sit in a vehicle for more than half an hour at a time. I heard about Sport & Spine from a couple of friends and made an appointment. I stuck to the exercises as best I could and things came around. I feel better than I have in 15 years, maybe this is the new me.

The discomfort to my right leg and hip started a decade ago. I ignored the stiffness at first, it would improve then get worse until it became something that I was aware of everyday, thought about all the time. Any amount of sitting could be uncomfortable and it bothered me at night. I saw a chiropractor, massage therapist and several physiotherapists. Treatment would make temporary improvements but no one could explain the problem or more importantly, show me something I could do for myself. Since meeting Sandra I have less pain and stiffness, can sit without pain, sleep better and I feel like I have knowledge and the tools to stay more mobile and pain free.

I spent nearly a year not able to lift my arms over my head or out in front of me. At times the pain was so intense that I would become physically ill. After just 2 months twice a week of cold laser therapy and light exercise, I have been able to return to my normal daily routine and experience little to no pain. Overall my experience at Sport & Spine was amazing and if I ever find myself in that level of pain again I will most definitely be calling Sandra and her wonderful staff.

When I came to Sport & Spine Physiotherapy I had very limited mobility from a hemorrhaged disc (L4-L5) on my sciatic nerve. I was in a very bad way; hunched over, on handfuls of medication. I was told surgery was the only way, but that didn’t sit right with me. After a year and a half of hard work, I can finally say I feel normal again. Something I thought I would never feel. Sandra found the right exercises that worked for me. I will forever be grateful for what you taught me.
