Avalon Performance Therapy

Very professional, they know exactly how to help you.Very friendly, Maxine knew exactly how to help me. After multiples visit at the physio with no change, she knew how to heal my upper ankle sprain and gave me the best advice with the right exercise. Also, after a bad fall while skiing, I hurt my knee, her treatment helped me decrease the pain I was feeling and she explained very well to me what I had to do. I followed her advice and it worked. Thanks for their amazing work!

I had my first massage done by Maxine for severe sciatica that has been going on since November 2021. I’m now in tears from how happy I am that I can move with a LOT less pain. Thanks to her, I truly feel like I’ll be at my best again very soon. Her work space is very clean, and inviting. Maxine is a wonderful person and massage therapist. She’s very considerate, professional, ans passionate for what she does. She took the time to properly assess me, and gave me some exercises to work on. She has definitely gained a happy client!

Jose, a few words to say thank you. Indeed thank you for helping me with eliminating the continuous and debilitating back pain, hip and knee issues. I never thought I could stand straight again. In the last 7 months, your guidance has made a huge difference in my gaining mobility, strength and confidence. Your training, a very gradual and scientific set of exercises have been beneficial. I feel 10 years younger and am proud to stand tall to my 6’2” at 63 years old. Thanks for your amazing guidance! Avalon's Rehab to Performance

I’ve been seeing Jose for a little over five years now. What initially started out as rehab organically grew into a new found love towards fitness. Having dealt with habitual back pain, Jose helped me understand my shortcomings and the principles of functional movement. Within a few short weeks of meeting, I remember all my back pain and discomfort disappeared. That’s when I knew he had my undivided attention.Training with Jose has been incredible. He has an extensive knowledge of the human anatomy which he carries forward as a Strong First Coach. His simple yet detailed approach definitely comes with a science behind each of my tailor fitted programs. Trust the process is my best advice. But also be willing to put in the work. It has been fundamental in seeing the results I want and in achieving my goals.With consistency at the forefront of your endeavors, if you’re looking to improve your health and well being or take your fitness journey to the next level, I cannot recommend Jose enough. His tireless work ethic and dedication to his clients is second to none.

Highly recommended! Helped our elderly mom who fell several months prior who had a frozen shoulder. Appreciate Jose's attentiveness with her, one on one time, explanations with regards to how each exercise would help stretch/strengthen her shoulder and having clear expectations of treatment (home exercise demands, etc). Clean environment, very friendly and professional.

Not sure where to start. Jose has been fantastic. So much attention to detail and focus on fixing the root problems. For instance, I have a degenerative disk in my low back that is often very painful. I also have a problem with my shoulder from years ago. His assessment then understanding of my body and the compensation my body engages in to deal with it is unparalleled. Its not enough to just massage my symptoms away, instead he wants to work on the mobility and strength pieces that are roots to the issues. So as to elevate long term performance and future success. So in my instance my main issue was hip mobility. Once I was able to improve that the pain was a thing of the past. If it resurfaces then I know the areas I need to revisit. T spine mobility for the lack of range of motion in the shoulder. I would have never guessed. Its his understanding of how each part of the body is connected and affected.At first they were all things I had to trust. Because I wanted to do the ballistic exercises and the intense programming, but he is not interested in just giving me exercises. He wants me to be healthy, mobile and to be able to listen to my body for feedback. These are all long term things that will serve me well into my senior years. Just punishing myself and randomly making up exercises and driving my body to break is not the answer. I highly recommend Avalon.

I started going to see Jose about 4 years ago. I was physically broken. Years of overtraining and improper technique had resulted in multiple injuries and imbalances (including a torn right rotator cuff). I was in constant pain and in an endless loop of chasing practitioners around. Within a year of working with Jose I was pain free. I have never been stronger and healthier than I am now. I no longer require surgery for my shoulder. If you are ready to take responsibility for your physical health, Jose is the guy to see. No quick fixes here, diligent work and proper intention (and sometimes humbling) leads to incredible results. Jose is a world class coach an provides a truly individualized approach. Thank you Jose

When I showed up for my first appointment with Jose in 2018 I was a broken mess. Years of physically demanding work left me with chronic back pain. Previously I tried other practitioners but no one could get to the root cause of my pain. Jose assessed me and identified the underlying issues to my injuiries. Then the work began. I have been seeing him for 3 years now and have never been stronger. Go see him if you want to put in the work, fix your injuries, get stronger and enjoy your life!

I've been seeing Jose for 2 years now and it has been game changing. I came to him with constant pain and discomfort in my back, knees, hips and shoulders. Now, I have never felt more stable & strong throughout my body. He has corrected my imbalances and I'm the most functionally strong I've ever been. I learnt more about my body and my limits in the last 2 years then the previous 30 that I've been working out. He is a mad genius that has recreated me and I can't thank him enough. It is not easy and one needs to dedicate themselves to their cause but the payoff is worth it. I highly recommend him if you want to change your functionality.

A few years ago I started to see Jose to rehab my shoulder post surgery. He went above and beyond his purview as a manual osteopath to both treat the post surgical trauma and to get me back to 100% functionality by working with me in the gym. My orthopaedic surgeon did not expect such good results because of my age and general lack of motivation.Since then he has been very patiently working with me, not only to provide relief from the pain of damage caused by arthritis but to teach and encourage me to be an active participant in my own rehabilitation.I’m coming up on 60 and I know that by working with Jose and letting him guide me I’m not gonna fade quietly into my 60s, I’m going to be healthier and stronger because he’s encouraged me to take better care of myself and have more respect for my body. I’m not there but I’m moving in the right direction.
