genevieve capilano2024-04-02Very clean place. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the website but it was a lovely massage with a conversation of my concerned muscle groups and 1 or 2 recommended stretches. Which is perfect for me- I wasn’t in need of physio therapy and was excited to have a relaxing experience. And that’s what I got! I’m sure u could ask for more exercises if u want but I just went for a nice massage :)
Roxie Pepper2024-04-01I've had a handful of RMT appointments so far with Danny Vu at Evolve. Danny is knowledgeable, respectful and a great communicator. At our sessions, he takes time to skillfully assess and treat my TMJ, then additionally share exercises and recommend complementary therapy for home care. Danny actively checks for feedback through the session to ensure pressure applied is manageable. Bonus that the treatment tables have heated options to keep you optimally comfortable through your appointment. The clinic is clean and well lit (shoes off at the door), and there is plenty of street parking in addition to the handful of stalls at the back of the clinic.
Izzy Kim2024-03-25Gordon has been helping me work thru my ICBC physical rehab the last few years, and it's absolutely made a huge difference. Car accidents can be complex, from head injuries to compensation patterns. He prepared regular exercise programs and continues to keep me on track every step of the way. I highly recommend working with him if you're committed to investing in your rehabilitation.
Benz Rodri2024-03-20If I can define Danny & Roy with their service provided in one word, it would be: Amazing. Danny & Roy both help with helping with identifying and relieving muscle pain. I had a neck pain that has been bothering me for the past week and a half, and they were both able to identify and help treat the neck and back pain associated with it. If you need an instant pain relief, i highly suggest visiting evolve and booking time to meet with Danny & Roy. :) I haven’t experienced the other team members yet, but if my availability changes, and it suits better with the other members, i’ll give them a try and write another review. Thank you Evolve team and specially Roylan Santos & Danny Vu for helping me in reliefing me with my muscle pains. 😁👍🏻
Eloïse Aguilar-Saurina2024-03-18Evolve RMT Vancouver is the best rehabilitation studio I have been to. Not only is the place bright and clean, but the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Ryan B. has treated me for various different issues and after only a few visits I am usually pain free. He is very professional and is dedicated to figuring out the source of the pain, and provides many stretches and exercises to do at home to further help with the rehabilitation process. It is very evident how passionate he is about what he does and how much he cares about his clients. If I could give more than 5 stars I would because truly the service here is like none other.
Kevin McConville2024-03-14Highly recommend this place. Clean facility that’s well taken care of. I’ve been seeing Danny off and on for the last six months and been really happy with him.
JP D2024-02-27Gordon and Brianna were able to quickly identify the imbalances that were affecting my physical health and mobility. They created customized workouts to address them and I felt so much better within the first 2 weeks. Very pleased and won't hesitate to return when needed.
Wendy Cheung2024-02-22Working with Gordan at Evolve has been an absolute game changer for me. Ever since I began the active rehab program with him, I can feel a drastic improvement on my mobility and pain relief. It was my first time working with a kinesiologist and he made it an awesome experience. He is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about helping his clients get better. Gordan has provided great explanations of exercises and really positive encouragement. He develops different training contents according to my rehabilitation needs and most importantly, he makes our sessions fun. I’d recommend Gordan to anyone looking for kinesiology training or rehabilitation.
our Unique process
At Evolve Vancouver, we take a 4-step approach to Physiotherapy: Assessment, Treatment and Exercise Prescription and Behaviour Modification.
We take a holistic approach with our process. The body is very complex, but we will do our best to break down and simplify this complexity. Our physiotherapists can provide a wide variety of solutions for issues ranging from sports injuries, chronic pain and even prehabilitation. We understand everyone presents with a unique set of circumstances that can influence the issues you are having. We ensure that your assessment and exercise programs are tailored specifically to you and your unique set of circumstances. Our physiotherapists apply a biopsychosocial lens to your assessment which can help to determine what the major factors contributing to your problem are.
Step 1: Assessment
Our assessment starts with an interview to get a better idea of the history and contributing factors. Our therapists take their time to build rapport and communicate effectively, as this helps to guide the course of treatment. Asking questions throughout the session is an effective way for our therapists to piece together the bigger picture. In addition to an interview, our therapists apply many different types of physical assessments depending on what is most relevant to your situation.
Step 2: Treatment
Physiotherapy treatment encompasses numerous techniques and modalities. Our Physiotherapists take in consideration findings from the assessment as well as past experiences with treatments to help tailor a specific treatment plan for you. This may include manual therapy techniques including joint mobilization or manipulation to reduce joint stiffness and pain as well as soft tissue massage or IMS to decrease muscle tightness and pain.
Step 3: Exercise Prescription
Exercise prescription will vary greatly depending on your goals and expectations. Based on your assessment, we will choose the most appropriate exercises for you. For example, those experiencing pain with movement will be taught new movement strategies that positively support your body. This may mean, in some cases, using pain as a guide through motion. Other times, we may not need to feel pain at all if we can find a realistic and relevant way for you to move. Either way, our goal is to provide you with a challenge so your body can adapt and grow more resilient. And in the long run, we want to teach you more about your body so you can take your health into your own hands, and become empowered. Our Physios are also able to provide movement modifications in cases where we need to give the body a bit of a break.
Step 4: Behavior Modification
Sometimes, our daily habits can be contributing factors. This may include factors such as lack of physical activity and stress management. Being active helps with relaxation, provides increased energy and is fun too. It also helps to reduce the incidence of health related problems such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and helps to maintain a healthy weight. With an advanced knowledge of how to keep your body moving, our Physiotherapists can help plan your exercise regime, prescribe exercises to strengthen your weak areas and choose the right activity to suit your needs.
Stress is a normal part of day to day life. However, when we experience prolonged stress that is not managed effectively, it can lead to a build of adrenalin causing muscle tension, high blood pressure and poor sleep quality. This in turn can also cause emotional dysregulation such as anxiety and depression. Symptoms of stress may include headaches, panic attacks, increased incidences of asthma attacks and stress-related skin conditions. Physiotherapy can help with stress management by helping to identify contributing lifestyle factors, coping strategies, behavior modification and advice on relaxation techniques such as deep breathing. It could be something as simple as going for walks out in nature! Physios will also recommend referrals to other relevant healthcare professionals if necessary.
