Synergy Physio + Pilates

I’ve been coming to Brennan for almost a year now. He uses completely different approaches to your injury and brings you instant relief. Misalignment in your body? Fixed in a session and you can visibly see the difference & feel the relief. Even if you can’t pinpoint the pain yet are in agony, he can feel & see the muscles & ribs where there’re affected. He manipulates the ribs & tendons & muscles and gets them back in line. In other Physio clinics, they look at your movement & they give you an exercise. You’re in & out in 20 mins. And then it’s all up to the work you do on your own. With Brennan and this clinic, you are thoroughly poked & prodded & viewed & questioned & then he uses manual manipulation with his hands, with cupping, with movement, with a shock therapy tool, with massage or anything that could assist him in reaching your muscles better. You truly do come out feeling better. He does give exercises too and if you follow them you will find healing, together with his manipulations. I came initially because I have 3 tears in my shoulder and couldn’t move my arm or lie on that side. He fixed it strong & back to feeling good. He will also treat any other areas too. He uses a lot of Pilates based methods with me and has me on the reformer too for those that love Pilates. He also knows yoga tips for those that love yoga. I really do highly recommend Brennan Chan.

I had a life-changing experience at Synergy Physio! Dr. Linda Joy-Lee and Lindsay helped me figure out a problem that over 20 other health care providers were not able to solve. Their Connect Therapy thoracic ring approach showed me how my body was compensating for some imbalances I have. I can't thank you both enough! :)

I have been going to Synergy Physio for several years and in the last 3 months Brennan Chans approach to my specific requirements has been ground breaking and has given me a new lease of life and given back the capabilities that I should have for my age. I find Brennan's approach and understanding of what the body needs to be able to run has built my body mechanics to be able to adapt to running, I have gone from being barley able to run a km 12 weeks ago to now running 4 x 5km and 1 x 10km a week , with every week pushing more boundaries in running and its exciting. He has also been able to align and correct my golf swing body mechanics that allowed me to play 8 games of golf in 6 days, a year ago I would only be able to 1 game a week and struggle to complete a full round without pain. He has also improved and changed my body mechanics to allow for increased intensity and better movement on the tennis court.Working with Brennan has been an incredible for me and his collaboration with the Synergy recommended personal trainer is amazing. He has led my body mechanics down a path I thought impossible a few months ago and I am looking forward to where we can get in months to come together.

My experience with Lindsay Geddes has been very positive. I have suffered from chronic pain in more than one area, the most debilitating was constant headaches. I have been to many different therapists at many different clinics over the past 10 years with limited success and only short term relief. Lindsay has taught me the underlying problems causing my pain and how to treat this pain on my own. Lindsay and I spend the entire appointment together one on one. While she is teaching me simple exercises for home and how to have proper posture, I also receive treatments such as IMS and thoracic ring manipulation.With I think 5 visits, my constant headaches were gone, my sleep improved and I was able to go almost a year before another visit!! I did not think that was possible!I 100% recommend Lindsay and her methods of recovery. She is very knowledgeable in many aspects of the human body and is a joy to work with on my path to a life without chronic pain.Thank you Lindsay!!

Brennan Chan , is a physiotherapist deserving of a five star rating, at minimum. I really feel that he performed the most complete, detailed history and physical exam.......one, that is responsible for the development of a PROPER treatment plan.. I am ecstatic to experience a huge reduction in back,/ SI joint pain . This has been so encouraging ! i am very grateful to Brennan for his superior assessment skills, knowledge, and dedication to helping me. He has great interpersonal skills, and offers compassionate care. I cannot say enough. I am looking forward to making a real recovery with his help.

My first appointment at Synergy Physio was in April 2018. I had been dealing with chronic right hip pain and shoulder pain since the Spring of 2010. I had been on the practitioner road show since this time. I bounced from one type of therapy to another with little to no results. It was until I came to Synergy that I started to see results. There type of physiotherapy is unique. You may have discomfort in your hip, but that’s not necessarily what’s causing the pain. They look at the whole body. Mitch has been my therapist. He’s extremely knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. He has taught me so much about my body mechanics. I’m at a stage in my recovery where I can move onto the pilates programs they also offer at Synergy. I will continue to check in with Mitch when I feel it’s necessary. The front office staff are friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend Synergy physio.

I used to have to drive from North Vancouver to Arbutus and Broadway for physiotherapy with Erin Lynn - she was well worth the drive because she works wonders!!! Now we are lucky that she has moved her practice to the Northshore and we can benefit from her pain-freeing, hands-on treatment. She actually uses her hands and works the area, easing & coaxing the stubborn knots to release. My sciatica has been gone for months now and I can go for long walks once again!

Brennan listens carefully to my concerns at the beginning of each physiotherapy or Pilates session. He readily understands the underlying cause of my pains and knows how to treat them. Brennan is very empathetic and encouraging. I am a senior and, as I age, Brennan helps me to continue doing the sports I enjoy.

I had an amazing experience with Brennan at Synergy Physio! As a runner with various ongoing and long-term issues that regular treatment and therapy had been unable to resolve, I was delighted when I started to work with Brennan and see improvements in my movement. Brennan took a fresh approach and spent time analyzing and understanding the issues before applying unique techniques to find a solution. I'd highly recommend Brennan to any runner with injury issues or those who are looking to improve performance.

Above & beyond; Highly Recommended!Mitchell’s passion and genuine care has been top notch! His treatment, coaching, and direction are above and beyond have truly provided me with renewed wellness, mobility, and quality of life.With over 15 years of chronic pain and compounding injury, I have to say that Mitch’s application of the Thoracic Ring approach has been highly effective in my recovery. It has become such a critical part of my life that I drive 4.5 hours every month for treatment. So worth it!I can not say enough about Mitch and Synergy Physio. Thank you for doing what you do so passionately & tirelessly! You are impacting peoples lives in a truly significant way!
