After countless doctors, hospitals and physio therapists I ended up going to Kim for a sports related lower back injury from BMX'ing I had been suffering with for 5 or 6 years. I was in daily agony. I had little hope going in as I had been through it many times before and retold my story to so many different people by then. Where other physios just shrugged or came off as uncaring, she became proactive and said we were going to come up with a plan and a schedule and she was confident she could help fix me. Her optimistic attitude and friendly personality made me feel like she meant business, which was just what I was looking for. I signed on then to see her once a month until I was fixed. Kim was true to her word and came up with a comprehensive plan that I would have to work at during the weeks between visits. Each month I would come back in and she would get me straightened out and then we would adjust my routine. I had to do my part and do the stretches and strength training daily but at that point I was willing to do anything because I had been suffering for so long. She came up with the plan and I followed it to a T. As the months went on I had ups and downs but I could tell that I was slowly making progress. I dared not lift too much weight or run at all (even though I really wanted to) as I was afraid I would throw my back out again and be back to square one. About 8 months in and I was lifting weights again, riding my bike and generally feeling pretty good about life. At one year worth of visits she cut me loose, gave me some maintenance work to do regularly and sent me on my way. I've kept it up for the last few years and I've never felt better. I'm able to work out and push myself as hard as I ever have in my life and I owe it all to Kim and the hope she gave me that I could get better. I can't recommend her and the folks at Van Physio enough. Before I met her, I had resolved to the fact that I would basically be crippled for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Kim!
Kim has helped me with various abuse I place on my body over the last 8-9 years. Most on a field, but some just from sitting in an chair. She is very intuitive and an incredible physio, but furthermore seems to have done a great job hiring and growing her team with people like her. Great clinic!
