Allan McGavin Sports Physiotherapy Centre At Plaza O

i’ve gone to them for post surgery treatment for my knee and wrist.
The facilities are very large, with a good number of beds, staff, and equipment.
The staff particularly are very attentive.
Julian is a specialist at fitting bikes to your proportions, and I’ve found Patrick particularly knowledgeable and helpful.

I’ve been coming here for a few months & have been treated by Patrick for a lower back injury. I’m very happy with the treatment I have received and with the reception when I walk In. Everyone has always been pleasant and helpful to me & will definitely recommend this place.

I recently had a Labaral repair surgery on my shoulder and had to have 3 anchors put in. I have Ryan Hill as my therapist and he is simply amazing. I had the surgery done in the states and stayed there for 4 weeks for initial rehab and have been seeing Ryan for about 2 weeks, 4 sessions so far. It’s amazing how much better I am doing especially given the seriousness of the surgery. My range of motion is twice as better and my strength is great. It seems that all the therapist spend a lot of time with their patients and know what they’re doing, especially Ryan. Ryan knows how everything works and can pin point the issue right away and usually knows the cure. He’s pleasant to have the session with and the staff seems to be very nice as well. Overall this was one the best decisions I made to go to this clinic for my post surgery rehab.

I’ve been going to this Allan McGavin clinic for the past few weeks for two huge problems my evil body has: One is work related and one is because my mother didn’t put me together properly (her words, not mine!). I was at the Allan McGavin at UBC the first week for my initial evaluation and was recommended to this clinic after that.
This isn’t my first stint in physio, so i know what to expect and what i want from my sessions. I’ve been to some good doctors, some not so good doctors, and ones in the middle, and i’m happy to report that Allan McGavin has been pretty great so far! I’ve been seeing Ryan Hill, and he’s been able to answer all my questions and really get to the cause of my problems.
I was especially impressed by how he made a point to really investigate why i’ve been having the problems i have and how he was able to come to a solution. For the past three years, i’ve been having finger and wrist pain (which have now creeped up to my elbow) from using stylus pens too much, and despite my many efforts to follow the doctor’s orders, it has only been getting worse. The doctors have been puzzled since it SHOULD be getting better, and after many blood tests and referrals to specialists, they said i should just get a new career that doesn’t involve my hands.
Well, today when i went in the the clinic and told Ryan my problems, what flares them up, where it hurts specifically and how it has been progressing, he said he had an idea of a few things it could be. It was so nice to go to someone who actually took the time to listen, had ideas, and didn’t make things seem so hopeless! He did some motion tests on my arm and neck– making me realize that nowhere else i had gone had even touched my hand while assessing it, wtf– and in five minutes had narrowed down a problem and gave me some exercises to get started on getting better!
As for my other problem, which is with my knees, i’ve also got a lot of exercises to do for them and have been given great advice on the activities i can do while trying to get better! I was super blue for awhile about all my physical problems, but i feel like things are finally starting to look up thanks to this clinic! Huzzah!
