Happy Clients. True Testimonials.

After experiencing a terrible accident that caused a number of health issues that afflicted me for years I tried working with different therapists where I wasn’t able to make much progress.

After working with Carl I was finally able to get back to a healthy place. Carl takes a holistic approach understanding the problem from multiple lenses looking for solving the root of the problem working towards the goal of being free of it.

While going through treatment Carl would follow up and check in to see how I was feeling post treatment to make sure I was feeling better. Once working through solving the root of the problem Carl then helped me understand what I would need to do to ensure the changes would stay and how I could improve my health through different exercises and life style changes. I’m incredibly grateful for the treatment I’ve recieved and would recommend Carl to anyone looking to seek physical therapy.

Carl helped me overcome an acute back pain with care, diligence and skill. Working with me for about an hour on particular Tuesday Carl identified muscles that I didn’t even realise existed in my body. As a result I was able to pass my taekwondo belt promotion test the next day with no problem. By Carl’s own admission, this was a challenge – but he passed it, just as I passed mine!

I am back to see Carl to continue to improve my well-being. A big thanks to Carl for getting me back on my feet and to my instructor for the original referral.

Amazing treatment for neck pain. Went in with some severe neck pain from a sports injury and left with very little pain and instructions on how to continue to stretch the area to reduce pain.

I recommend for anyone who is looking for treatment for an injury.

Carl did an amasing job fixing my shoulder. After a kitesurfing crash my right arm was left temporarily paralysed, and then my thumb stayed num for 3 weeks. I could only sleep 2-3 hours per night for 3 weeks. Over this time I consulted a chiro three times and an accupunctor once without any relief. Then after only one visit with Carl my shoulder was fixed by about 40% and after only three visits I was as good as new. I was back on the water 4 weeks only after my first visit with Carl.

I highly recommend Carl
