iON Health + Performance

Highly recommend Dr. Ben for any pain you are experiencing and support to achieve your training goals! He was able to identify the causes of the knee pain I was experiencing with running and provide targeted manual treatment so I could run again pain free. Grateful to have found a clinic in the area with a neurofunctional approach!

I stumbled across iON looking for a cure to a sore back that was holding me back from my running and causing general misery. I put this visit off as I was highly skeptical of chiropractors but my concerns were immediately put to rest by Ben. His approach was to establish history and get to the root cause of my problem, not just crack my back into place as I feared. Furthermore, every treatment technique was thoroughly explained to my full satisfaction. I had immediate results and back to what I love doing after only a couple of visits.After fixing my back up I’ve continued to visit iON on a regular basis to continue working through my legacy injuries. Highly impressed that I’m feeling better now than I have in the 5 years before first visiting Ben.

Dr. Ben gave back my ability to walk pain free after years of ignoring past injuries and assuming they were here to stay. A close friend suggested I visit for and initial assessment which led to a series of treatments and solid education on body mechanics. Six months later I can now say the pain is gone for good and my daily routines are back to what they were a decade ago. Thanks Ben.

Great results but they don't happen overnight.Trust the process with ion. Ben and Matthias will hear your story and do a proper intake call.Matthias has been fantastic to work with. Week 1, I was barely able to lift a 20 lb deadlift post injury. Within 3-4 weeks, lifting 175 lbs was a great feeling. The focus wasn't on lifting > healing, stretching and form was the key. I strongly recommend as you'll get great insight and able to take your fitness to the next level. Might be hooked to take some personal training along the way.Thank you Matthias for your help and encouragement.PS, my golf still sucks... can you fix that?

Truly a game changing experience! I had dealt with mobility issues for years and tried many different solutions to try improve. After a single session with Dr. Holtom I felt immediate improvement! Tight hips and ankles felt like they were released from being locked up for many years dealing to back pain, and reduced overall athletic performance. 10/10 would recommend, I can’t stop telling people about the difference! Stop the short term fixes and get to the root, Dr. Ben is your guy!!

I was on medication for almost a year and tried physiotherapy somewhere else for more than 15 sessions and nothing happened. I cut off my med Ben within a few sessions (Less than Five)! He is so patient and knowledgeable and addressed my injury effectively.The atmosphere is so relaxing as well. Had a massage with Sammy and she was Awesome too :)

I have been seeing Dr Ben Holtom for 2 months now and he has changed my whole perspective on chiropractic care. He listens and cares about his patients and clearly does not treat with with the same solution for everyone. He is kind and has worked miracles on my injuries!

For the past month, I have been receiving weekly physiotherapy treatments from Matthias Purvis for a shoulder injury from a fall on ice this past winter, and osteoarthritis in my knee. At each session, he provides physio on my shoulder and knee, and leads me through exercises in iON's gym. Matthias has also created an exercise program for me to do at home three times a week. His knowledge and expertise in developing my treatment program have allowed me to experience considerable relief from pain in both my shoulder and knee over the past four weeks. I highly recommend Matthias' professional, respectful and friendly approach ... he is a new and welcomed practitioner to Guelph!

I booked an assessment for physiotherapy with Stephanie back in December. I've had a persistent issue for at least 5 years and have been unable to make much progress via other treatment. After consistent treatment I've been able to make progress.Stephanie has been able to identify the concern and treat accordingly. She relies on a variety of treatment options and targets the issue effectively. I highly recommend her.I have subsequently had massage treatment with Samantha. She was great and the treatment very helpful. Having treatment with both had helped me a great deal.

After being frustrated in the gym and not being able to get through my workouts, I started seeing Dr. Ben to address my sports injuries and chronic pain. I was finally able to push through my workouts after treatment! I added Stephanie to my team of practitioners for physiotherapy. She has different treatment methods that have really helped with my pain and different ideas on what I can do day to day to prevent injury/pain! This includes rehab exercises with Sammy who is amazing! After just a few weeks of personal training with Sammy, I’ve made major improvement that I didn’t think were possible! Now I have a team collaborating on my treatment and can’t wait to see what else I will be able to do in the gym this year. I highly recommend and only regret that I didn’t start sooner!!
