As a person who is trans, I struggled to seek treatment for pain I've had for over a year due to fear and lack of trust in the medical community. Although I'm used to medical professionals in general lacking competency and sensitivity with trans/non-binary patients, I previously experienced this even from other queer, cisgender professionals in the village. I'm so glad I found Davie RMT and gave them a chance! Although I'm still trying to reach my pain-free goals, Austin is a great therapist and has helped in managing my symptoms. For me, it's also important that he's a very safe and compassionate person. He puts a lot of care, craft, and focus into his treatments. Kyle, the co-owner, is dedicated to providing a safe clinic for the most marginalized people in the LGBT community and society at large. Davie RMT referred me to an awesome physiotherapist who I was out to and has treated me with the dignity and respect trans people deserve when seeking health care services. Mind. Blown. I would be amiss not to mention Chris, who works the front desk and is very welcoming. The clinic space is clean and cozy. Thank you, Davie RMT!
I visited Ron Dio for massage therapy to help with my athletic performance. I was thoroughly impressed. Ron listened to the problems I was dealing with, assessed my limitations, and then proceeded to treat my problem areas. Not only did he do a marvelous job (I left the facility feeling better than I've felt in years), but Ron took the time to explain to me why he was targeting certain areas and why I am having issues with my mobility. During the treatment, Ron was consistently mindful of my comfort level; repeatedly asking if I was okay with the pressure he was applying. He concluded the session demonstrating a few simple but effective stretches so that I keep myself agile. Ron went above and beyond what I was expecting and I am so glad I had a chance to get treated by him. I will definitely be coming back for more!!
It was a pleasure to have AJ as my RMT. She addressed and treated my running injury and helped me become aware of my imbalances in my body. She is knowledgeable, and provided me with various home care activities. She finished my treatment with stretching exercises (something I don't do for myself). I highly recommend her, and will definitely come back for another treatment to address my other sports related injuries.
