Baseline Health and Wellness - Burnaby

The team at Baseline Health and Wellness has set a very high standard for chiropractic care and massage therapy. I have not done any physiotherapy at the clinic, but I can guarantee that the professionals at Baseline Health and Wellness uphold this standard across all of their services and will exceed your expectations. For context, I am a female in my mid-twenties who powerlifts (i.e. squatting, deadlifting, and bench pressing) approximately 4-6 days/week.Drs Kody Au and Christy Yip are my chiropractors. They had been able to recognize and address two fundamental issues of mine within the first fifteen minutes of my initial consultation: (1) I breathe incorrectly, and (2) I walk incorrectly. Hearing this had been a shock, of course, as I have been breathing and walking my entire life. However, no one *really* teaches you how to breathe properly, i.e. which muscles should be engaged, where the air should be filling, or how deep of a breath you should take. I had routinely been taking shallow breaths, with the air filling into my chest. This has contributed to my very weak core muscles, which in turn has been compensated by my mid- to upper-back muscles, which has resulted in sharp back pains and tightness. What I should have been doing all of this time is to take deeper breaths, with the air filling into my abdomen - this is the first of many things that I have learned from Kody and Christy. Moreover, no one *really* teaches you how to walk properly, i.e. which muscles should be engaged, how to drive through the movement, and which direction the toes should be facing. I had been taking what I will call half-steps: I would move my legs forward without driving the legs back throughout the entire movement. This has contributed to my very weak glute muscles, which in turn has been compensated by my quads, which has resulted in a nasty hip impingement that, at one point, had been so bad that I was unable to walk - the leg and hip bones felt like pestle and mortar with every step. It had been mortar-fying (haha). Again, what I should have been doing all of this time is to activate my glute muscles throughout the entire movement - this is the second of many things that I have learned from Kody and Christy. This invaluable information had come up within my first consultation! My personal experiences speak for themselves, quite frankly. Equally important, if not more so, Kody and Christy do *not* want to see their patients regularly - they want to see you progress and will recommend less visits as they determine so. They are the definition of genuine and caring. What Kody and Christy strive to do is address your issues directly at the root cause and prevent them from persisting, as opposed to other chiropractors who may just simply manage the issues, e.g. through heating or electric techniques. I would like to stress also that the team at Baseline Health and Wellness does not rely on any tools for treatment. They rely entirely on their knowledge and their hands, and they are damn good at it!Einer Lim is my registered massage therapist. My praise of Einer is equally matched to my praise of Kody and Christy. Of the many massages that I have had across several clinics, nothing compares to Einer's. He had been able to address and treat tight areas that I did not even know existed. For example, following a session in which Einer had worked on my traps and shoulders, I had been sore for 2-3 days (something that I prefer and look for, as it is my body's way of telling me that something had been successfully worked on) and relieved! Not only skillful, Einer is a gentleman - textbook chivalrous. Before each session, Einer will always remind me to undress to my comfort level. He has consistently demonstrated respect through his workmanship and words, and any subtleties in between, like his body language. A sincere thank you to Einer!Baseline Health and Wellness is a godsend one-stop-shop. I highly recommend this clinic to everyone and anyone. Please do not hesitate to book your first consultation! You and your body deserve it.

I have been receiving treatments here from the most awesome Lorissa Deng (RMT) following a bad motorcycle accident I had in September 2022.I also have had sessions with the fantastic Physiotherapist and Chiropractor.Highly recommend this team - they all seem like friends and the experiences I have had have been so positive, helpful and I truly enjoying seeing them all.

I have been going to see Dr. Kody Au for chiro appointments, and always have a good experience. He is able to recognize areas in my back where I am experiencing pain, and would take time to do some light massage before adjusting my back. His team also provides take-home exercises for me to do in order to improve my condition. I already recommended a few friends and they have had good experiences too.I'm excited for the new Burnaby location!

Compliment to the massage therapist, Katherina Hong. She had given me a single massage and my arm worked perfect. She explain in detail where the affected area. She asked me what level of strength she should used to make my pain tolerable . In addition, she gave me some exercise to follow through. Thank you !

I have been a client of this clinic for a while now (on and off) since my first pregnancy to the 2nd one now. I am working from home so the Burnaby clinic is perfect as it is closer to me. Close to Patterson. Parking is available (impark) in building but plenty of free street parking around the area.This team is amazing. Dr Jenine and Lorrisa are both caring and professional. They do not rush and they listen to your needs. They teach you stretches and other techniques to help your body improve.Dr Kody has been my husband’s chiro and he’s never really been to other chiro anymore.They are younger group of professional but very knowledgeable on what they do.The Burnaby clinic is new and very clean.Highly recommend this clinic!

I received treatments from Dr. Emily Cullen for few weeks, for my finger numbness, which I discovered was due to neck disc issues. It was my first time visiting a chiropractor, but Emily was very helpful and helped me understand my neck issues. The exercises provided were easy, and she even helped modify it since I wasn't able to do them often. Overall a great experience!

I have been working with Dr. Emily Cullen for the last few months after sustaining a major LCL sprain which not only hindered my movement but added a great deal of pain to simple tasks like walking and squatting. As a professional basketball player these injuries can be career ending and my biggest worry was being unable to return the same player.Thanks to Dr. Emily's careful assessments, we were not only able to target the point of injury but break down other areas that had been thrown off because of this injury. We began doing a full body reset specific for me and my sport.Fast forward to today and I've never felt better. My mobility and stabilization are at an all time high and I'm forever grateful for her careful assessments. I am very Excited to keep moving forward with her so we can make sure my body is at its peak performance all the time.She truly is the best.

I've been coming here since Feb 2023, I essentially seen an ad on Facebook for their promo of $47 for chiropractic treatments, decided to try it out.After my first initial visit (1 hour long) I was with Jenine, and she went through my whole body for adjustments. She was/is AMAZING! My body was beat up, sore, tense, etc, and Jenine (under chiropractic treatments) helped step by step, talking through all my tensions and properly treating me. When I first arrived, my body was barely moving from head to toe. She worked out and stretched my body from the worse pain through least, working out all the kinks in my body. She started with my neck and shoulders due to the car accident (whiplash and constant migraines and major back pains from top to bothom) She adjusted my neck and back since that was our main focus. That took a few weeks as I was seeing her twice a week. My body instantly felt better! And even if you don't know, know it's not NORMAL to feel fatigue with your body!After my neck and back was adjusted, she then adjusted my legs and arms , shoulders, and with the adjustments done my migraines slowly went away and I can finally have a good night's sleep and no longer suffer from lack of sleep. The adjustments isn't an overnight fix, but with proper treatments and excessive exercise to stretch out your body where it needs to and get movements in your body, you'll slowly start to feel better.I love coming to baseline as they use their hands naturally with your body, not what you see online using equipments to adjust you. If you feel fatigue and need an adjustment CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS IS THE WAY TO GO. Even after coming here for two months and still attending, I don't regret it one bit. And coming to this office, is so homey! They also have other treatments available such as massage therapy I see Katerina , and acupuncture I see Kevin , but start off with chiropractic treatments and spoil your body with the healing it needs!

I have been coming Baseline over a month now, and I had back and neck pain.Dr. Emily has helped me a lot. She is full of knowledge and shows me every week different exercises to help me to relax and ease the pain. Also the cupping therapy she is doing on my back definitely helping. I am very happy with my results cant wait to go next week :)

Dr. Kody Au is truly amazing. He helped me addressed many root causes of my body aches, and improved my posture. Einer is also great in helping me relieve any muscle discomforts, and preparing me to correct my posture.
