Sitka Physio & Wellness

I really highly recommend Elizabeth. I have been going to a different physiotherapist for a year for what I thought was IT band syndrome. I saw Elizabeth and she was actually able to diagnose me with the proper condition and gave me very detailed instructions on how to reduce my pain and improve my posture, especially while I run. I had no idea that so many things were contributing to my pain and Elizabeth actually shot a quick video of me walking/running and analyzed each bit of the video so that I could properly understand what was happening (this was for a running assessment). As a fellow healthcare professional, I found that her assessment was thorough and detailed, and she explained the results to me in a way that I could understand and grasp.I will stick with Elizabeth going forward because she provided me with client centered care, was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with fantastic results. I am finally pain free and able to run and hike again after 1 year! She's absolutely amazing!!

I went to see Elisabeth McLatchie several months ago due to ongoing shin splints that started to really bother me. She was incredible!!!! I'd seen another highly rated Vancouver physio prior to visiting Sitka, and they failed to fix the issue. Elisabeth assessed my running style, fixed my stride and prescribed a running program for me, and now my shin splints are completely gone. Thank you so much!!

I highly recommend sitka for anyone suffering from running issues. Since my 3 appointments earlier this year with Helen & Katy, I am running pain free and breaking my personal records every week without injury.I owe a lot of this to their great suggestions (zero drip shoes, faster strike, etc) as well as their sharp note on how my different feet strike differently led to my pain in one foot.On top - the office is well-organized and everyone in the staff is welcoming. Five stars!

I went to this clinic for the first time recently and received a massage from Anthony. He listened what I wanted, and I was extremely happy with the service I received. I fully recommend to go and see Anthony! Overall, super happy with this clinic and I will be back :)

Oh my gosh… this was hands down one of the best massages I’ve ever received. I felt like Sarah created a safe space for me to unwind and recharge. I asked for deep tissue but also wanted to feel grounded and relaxed and she offered this exactly. I would go back to her in a heartbeat !!

I have seen Jason for more than 4 years since I had developed chronic shoulder pain from my 20 year fullntime nursing profession. His assessment is the most accurate by assessing my muscle in use closely and reassessing with applying some adjustment. Recommended optimal exercises and treatment have been working best for me to the point I could continue my nursing professin experiencing way less pain. He has been closely communicating with my physician for the best outcome. He is a gem.

Great great clinic. I have a really bad shoulder injury since 10 years and had a lot of problems finding the right physiotherapists. Liz was really creative in finding new ways to help me with pain and balance. On the first day I went to Sitka, she was able to reduce the pain I had for years. She's passionate and definitely cares for her patients. It helps that I can speak french with her sometimes. In my case I will need to see a physio for a long long time and I'm happy to have found some comfort, trust and hope.

I had an amazing assessment by Helen Ries today , one that I never had before. Helen was so thorough ,asked such interesting questions and laid out some body connections ( fascia)that may be affecting my sore shoulder . She then did some gentle but focused manual treatment and gave me some valuable homework" ! Thanks so much Helen!"

I have been attending for Physio and Massage Therapy and have seen significant improvements with an old injury. I switched Physiotherapists a couple months back and started seeing Steve, recommended from a friend. With the new approach, I’m gaining a lot more strength, my muscles are nowhere near as tight and he even introduced a new way of thinking with a podcast.I see Anthony for Massage Therapy and I was amazed the first time I seen him. He pin pointed my exact areas of aches and pains without a huge summary of background info. I had back pain for 2 years and am breathing so much better from our first session.I always leaving feeling lighter and optimistic with each visit. I am extremely thankful for both of them and am seeing a ton of progress in the past couple of months compared to the year I was at another clinic.

I started going to Sitka Wellness several years ago to get some physiotherapy with Steve. He helped me immensely to recover from an injury using various techniques (including IMS -- felt so ewww but also so effective) and always showing me exercises that best complemented my pace of recovery and goal post-recovery. He also empowered me to observe where to look so I could decide where to focus on my own rehab for the day.I also see Anthony for registered massage therapy. We've only just started our treatments and I am amazed how much of my mobility I have regained in such a short period of time. At our first session, he immediately identified and addressed issues (old and new issues I was both aware and unaware of)! He has adjusted things in a session that I had been going to a chiropractor for for months (years?). I only wish he had more availability!
