Thompson Rivers Physiotherapy

I play junior A hockey in Merritt. I got shockwave treatment from Rick last season. It allowed me to play pain-free on my knee.

Friendly and efficient care in helping me with a back injury. Very knowledgeable for getting a diagnosis and onto a regime that took into consideration my treatment preferences. Highly recommend!

I've had 1 visit so far and Dr Carter was friendly and thorough. Giving me some excercises for my Shoulder to be done in stages and a return appointment this week coming. I'm doing what he said and noticing an improvement.

Didnt had a good experience, no therapy heat or massage what so ever administered. Only recommend a few lazy stretches still had pain for weeks. Maybe I visited in C-19 that’s an excuse because for that much “therapy“ it shouldn’t be open at all then.

Rick did for me what many other chiropractors and massage therapists could not. He fixed my lower back after 6 years of pain and sensitivity. One morning I simply sneezed while lying in bed and suddenly I could barely walk. I tried exercise, massage therapy, myofacial release, chiropractors. I experienced some relief, but certain movements like shoveling snow would send me right back into a pain cycle. Six years later, after seeing Rick for an unrelated injury, I asked him if he wanted to try to help fix my back issue. After a year of treatments, I was essentially pain free. I went back to see him for two sessions for a tune up in the following two years. I am pain free to this day 10 years later. Thank you Rick!

Very happy with the treatment I received from Rick for my knee injury. Overall great experience and I would return and recommend, nice friendly atmosphere.

About 8 months ago I had really painful tennis elbow in the left elbow - could barely grip things or twist my forearm without lots of pain. I went elsewhere first and got some exercises, but those did not improve things. After my wife's amazing experience with Rick and shock wave therapy (that is a whole other 5 star review), I saw Rick for 5 treatments of shock wave therapy. He was right when he said it would not feel like it was getting any better for the first 3, but to keep with it. I did and after 4 and 5 I was totally pain free. Thank you.

I made an appointment, which I had to wait weeks for. I am in pain, and I am suffering. I knew my appointment was coming up, so I had to go through my paperwork, I found it and found out my appointment was today at 9:15am. I phoned in, the receptionist said yes my appointment was today, and she said will you make it, I said I would be late, as I was too far away, I asked her why she didn't phone me? she said she had 40 people and she couldn't phone them all. I said I would find somewhere else. So, she is too lazy to phone to make sure that we know about our appointments. Now, I had to miss my appointment, and I have to suffer. This is not right. Now, I have to look somewhere else. I don't recommend this company. Rick has to have a blank slot because the receptionist was too lazy to phone people, this is not right!!!! Thanks receptionist!!!! I appreciate you caring and reminding me, as I am on pain killers and trying to function.Sorry Rick, you need to get a new receptionist, one that is not lazy!!!I would have been there Rick, as I am in so much pain!!!

Rick is amazing with his patients. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. And Theresa at the front desk is a beam of sunshine whenever I visit! I would highly recommend anyone go here for physiotherapy.

Rick has helped me through many sports injuries and helped me compete. Very knowledgeable and great experience with all staff. Highly recommended!
