Life changing is the simplest answer. I’ve had back issues for 30+ years and this is the first time I feel confident that I have the answer to keep my back in much better condition. I tried all the ‘other’ treatments and Sandra is the first to truly put me on the path to proper back health. Life is much better pain free.

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!

When my doctor recommended I see Sandra at Sport & Spine Physio I had a lot of leg pain and lower back pain to the extent I could not stand very long and only walk short distances. MRI had revealed severe spinal stenosis at L3-4 disc level and surgery was a must. After checking surgery waiting times and out of country prices, I spoke with Sandra and she assured me that I did not need surgery and she could help me. So I started laser therapy, approximately 20 treatments, followed with exercises for certain muscles. I can now walk and stand as long as I want to and have not looked back. I feel very fortunate and lucky to have had her put the time and effort into my situation.

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.

History with a bad shoulder, a fall sent me to surgery. Another physiotherapist clinic with large turnover in staff could not seem to help. Sandra was bang on. I can now do my job building jet engines without constant pain. I can lift my grandkids without pain. Life is better.

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 had back surgery in the spring of 2017 to remove a growth at L4, L5. I was told physiotherapy after surgery was optional from my surgeon but after 6-8 months I had extreme lower back pain and struggled with pretty much every day to day task involving my back moving. I started physiotherapy in February of 2018 and after a few visits am moving and feeling 100% better than I have in 5+ years.

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.

I had been getting nerve ablations L3-S1 every year and cortisone shots every three months. I now have not had cortisone shots or nerve ablations. My back is feeling good. I can even do the child’s pose which I absolutely couldn’t do before! I am walking much better and learning more every time I visit Sandra. I am so happy to not have to keep getting injections to live a normal life.
