Movement First Physio & Chiro

Kelsey has been pivotal in transforming my pelvic floor health! From post-surgery over-activity to pregnancy and postpartum care, she’s so knowledgeable and has guided me through personalized rehabilitation that’s given me my life back! The old adage of “getting used to peeing a bit every time you sneeze after having a baby” does NOT have to be true!

Went to Kelsey for Pelvic Floor Therapy (Postpartum mom) she was great! Made me feel comfortable and she listened to my problems. Kelsey gave me easy exercises that I was able to follow and had time for at home! Kelsey always explains everything she is doing and why she is doing it for you! I always recommend Kelsey to my other friends! Especially anyone expecting, or in their postpartum stage!

I was VERY hesitant to come to a chiropractor because I had never been to one before. But desperate times (my back and hip out) call for desperate measures. And I could not be more pleased with my decision! I saw Leah and she was very patient and understanding of my fear. She put me right at ease by thoroughly explaining everything to me, both before she did something and while she was doing it. She is a fountain of knowledge and she put it to good use! I am 100% sure that she is going to fix everything and make me even better than before.

After going to a different chiro and getting no relief, i was referred to Movement First.
Dr. Tanner was able to diagnose what was wrong (which was not done prior to and was in and out of emerg for pain for 2 weeks) I was out of agonizing pain quickly after our first visit! He provided me with exercises to do at home and helped me out tremendously by recording them with his instructions.
You can really tell how much Dr. Tanner cares and he provides you with knowledge of how the body works.
Thank you Dr. Tanner so much for getting me back to normal!

Emma Wolowski is an amazing Physiotherapist who has given me the tools to strengthen and improve my 61 yr old body! From giving me the MOST thorough assessment prior to the start of treatment and her ongoing focus and reassurance she has given me the tools to strengthen my lower and upper body. I walked in to the office in February 2023 with a sore knee and shoulder unable to walk without pain or play Pickleball or golf. As of July 2023 I can walk for miles, play pickleball 3 days a week and golf.

Dr. Kyle Smart Chiro is another amazing professional in this clinic. I had been to chiropractors in the past who simply did the same adjustments each visit with little discussion prior to the treatment. He always gives very thorough explanations of his manoeuvres and takes the time to ask questions prior to starting his treatment.
It was always a pleasure to go to my appointments such a great positive feeling in the whole clinic from the receptionist to the practioners.

Jason has been absolutely incredible! I was nervous going in at first but I have felt so comfortable every single session. Jason is easy to talk to and I have really enjoyed working with him. I feel confident in my recovery and getting back to squatting pain free! The studio is also super nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Dr Smart was Amazing! After 5 years of back pain and restricted movement, and multiple medical doctors and other specialists, he got my back working again in just a few weeks! Incredible!

I have been working with Emma for my recovery from a car accident, and I couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and guidance. From my first appointment, Emma took the time to listen to my concerns and helped me understand the roadmap to my recovery. She is always patient, kind, and encouraging.

Emma's knowledge of physiotherapy is impressive, and she continuously develop a personalized treatment plan that targeted my specific needs. She explained each exercise and technique clearly and made sure I understood how it would help my recovery. Thanks to her guidance and support, I've made significant progress and feel confident that I'll continue to improve.

Overall, I highly recommend Emma to anyone who needs a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist. She truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals to recovery.

The staff are also friendly and always have smiles on their faces especially the front desk staff!

If you are pregnant and are curious about pelvic floor physio you should go see Kelsey Hupka. She is a great source of information and was very helpful with my labour preparation. She also gave me a ton of information for postpartum, which was the only source of postpartum information that I had. I didn't get any information from the hospital or my doctor about how to proceed after my C-section. Kelsey is great!

Dr Kyle Smart has helped not just myself but my entire family. I had chronic back pain from sports injuries that is now so mild I only have to see him periodically for adjustments. My 72-year-old father now has more mobility endless pain than he has had in years. Kyle doesn't just help really the pain but build strategies to recover. He is great with kids and my nephew thinks he's the best.

I've seen Kyle to help me with loosing up my lower back and hips to make my Golf game, as well as my hockey game a wee bit better for my enjoyment.
He always seem to get me back inline with my games. The best thing is I never feel rush when at the clinic and Kyle explains what hes going to do so its not a big surprise when one is on the table.

Always treated with professionalism, explains what he is doing and how it will my existing issues. Dr Kyle Smart always gets
Me moving better. Thanks so much!

Kyle is an absolute professional. He thoroughly explains everything he does and how it benefits your recovery and continued wellness. He has an unmatched enthusiasm for his work and your well being.

I also want to mention Michelle and Jessie are excellent physiotherapists that can collaborate with Kyle for the ultimate recovery program.

I’ve been working with Kyle for the past month or so on injury prevention and strength. He is super knowledgeable and in what he does and he makes sure you’re comfortable with every adjustment/ movement. He also has a great sense of humour!

I initially found Movement First when I was recommended by my doctor to attend concussion physio. I was drawn in by the fact that the therapist spends the entire session with you, unlike many other physiotherapy clinics where they are treating several other clients at the same time. I've been seeing Michelle Bibeau for almost a year and she has helped me so much! She is compassionate, empathetic, and encouraging. She takes my concerns, no matter how small or trivial, seriously and tailors her treatment to suit them. I have done physio treatments as well as Michelle's clinical pilates and have noticed great results from both. I have also noticed improvements in my general exercise routines because of her tips to help with safe movements and more effective exercises. I can't recommend this place enough; my husband is now devoted as well!

Jessie Brown is a great physical/physiotherapist who helped me to treat a bad tendonitis. I am also doing treatment for the ankle and feel very welcome here. She truly cares about all injuries and walks over the treatment details carefully. Looking forward to work with her in the future. Highly recommend her and Movement First!

Movement First and Michelle Bibeau came highly recommended by my daughter who is also taking her daughter to physio. Not only is their location in relation to my home close by I also find that the staff are friendly and professional. Michelle is an extremely knowledgeable and caring individual. She was able to help me with the mobility issue I was having. I love that they deal with you on a one to one basis and that they are able to provide online documentation for the exercises with modifications if needed.

Kyle at this location is super positive and energetic. I've been recovering from painful back issues with his help. It is for me easy to get depressed and pessimistic about recovery when I'm injured and in pain. But, in addition to Kyles chiropractic treatment, I believe his optimism and energy are helping me be optimistic myself and believe that I really can get "back to normal" someday.

I see Dr. Smart for chiro and he is the best! Apart from being the best chiropractor I have ever seen, he is professional, caring, and full of corny (yet hilarious) jokes. He is the first chiropractor I have seen that works to address the root of the problem instead of “bandaging” the issue. You won’t regret seeing him!

I started my physio treatment with Michelle Bibeau about 4 months ago for my glut and leg problems. Prior to that I had tried chiropractic treatment elsewhere with no improvement at all. Michelle gave me her diagnosis of my problems and started her treatment with me. After about a month I started seeing improvement. Later on, she added dry needling to my treatment plans which was also very helpful. After my treatment each time, she would email me pictures of the exercises I needed to do as a reminder. I am now free from pain for the problems I sought treatment from her for. Michelle is very professional and friendly. She is a joy to work with. The various receptionists I saw at her clinic were also very friendly and helpful. I will continue to see Michelle for any of my future needs for physiotherapy treatment. I will definitely recommend Michelle Bibeau to anyone who needs to see a physiotherapist.

Right from the beginning first class treatment facility, I felt at easy. The staff at Movement First was very professional, and courteous. Keira, their Acupuncturist was extremely helpful in making me feel comfortable with my first Acupuncture treatment. Will definitely be a patient for a long time.

Dr. Kyle Smart has a refreshing approach to chiropractic therapy. The assessment process was thorough, insightful, and revealing of past and chronic injuries. Not only is his treatment philosophy holistic, but it is also aimed for long term healing. If you find that you repeatedly go back for adjustments that don’t serve you long term, then I’d highly recommend you book an apt with Dr. Smart to give you a proper assessment and treatment plan. You will not be disappointed.

I've been to quite a few physio places, but what really sets this place apart is that the physio is physical and really gets you moving. They don't do massages and ultrasounds as far as I know. But if you want to be able to really move your body again, no where will help you feel better! Pilates physio is one of the really cool things they offer. Huge difference for me.

The staff are all always kind and professional. Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Kyle Smart has really helped me a lot with my shoulder. Every visit he exceeds more of my expectations for a Chiropractor. I highly recommend him! He’s also a nice guy, always smiling, bringing you a positive vibe

I wish I had seen Dr. Kyle sooner because he was such a game changer! I was amazed how thorough he was, going above and beyond to get to the bottom of what had been causing me shoulder pain for so long! He truly cared about my aches and pains and then offered me a plan that was personalized to reach my goals! Dr. Kyle even gave me a few stretches and exercises to do at home.
The combination of his amazing chiropractic work and his overall happy personality always left me with less pain and encouraged about my recovery. Dr. Kyle is so talented and cares so much about his patients! Anyone looking for a chiropractor should look no further!

I have nothing but great things to say about Movement First Physio! This is the only physio (and I have tried so many) that has actually helped my shoulder injury. Highly recommend if you want to heal and get results!

I have been experiencing pain and limited mobility of my left shoulder. You can literally see the increase in range after just one visit! Dr. Kyle Smart took his time testing and asking questions to fully understand what my issues are. I felt confident and comfortable because of the questions asked and the explanations of what muscle is doing what motion. I have never been to a chiropractor before but I will be going again!

Dr. Kyle Smart has helped me recover from many injuries over the last few years. He’s very knowledgeable and friendly, it’s clear that he cares about his patients well being. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Kyle Smart if you are looking for a Chiropractor.

My 10YO daughter is a competitive dancer and has sustained a few leg and foot injuries in the last couple of years. We have been to see Michelle 2x now and she has been absolutely amazing. On our first appointment, she spoke directly to my daughter to understand her injury and pain level vs speaking to mom (which is important as its not my pain, most PT's will talk to me and not her). We sourced Michelle out due to her dance background and experience. My daughter is very comfortable with her. She is extremely knowledgeable, engaging and thorough and is giving my daughter a lot of exercises to help her strengthen to prevent re-injury as well as ideas for modifications to get her back into dance class as soon as possible.

I was fortunate enough to have Kyle be assigned to my care team, after I was in a motor vehicle accident in January.
Kyle is impeccable in every aspect. He not only was good at keeping small talk, but he would remember our conversations week after week. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients. Kyle was fantastic about knowing exactly what our exercises were from previous weeks (including weights/reps) and I literally just had to show up and do the work with him! He was always great about checking in with me at each visit to see how I was feeling as we all know that any journey to health/healing is not a linear process and there will be “down” times. I had been doing previous stretches for years without properly engaging muscles and Kyle was able to break down these stretches by each movement and they’re now progressing!
The downside to finally being “fixed” is that now I don’t get to see Kyle on a normal schedule! But that means he did his job! HAHA.
Hands down – can’t recommend seeing Kyle enough!: D

I highly recommend Kyle Smart, there are not alot of chiropractors that look at the big picture as to why a person may have a physical ailment, but Kyle is able too which leads to a more successful treatment. Smart is not just his last name but describes his practice as well.

I went to see Lewis when I had some issues with my back. He was very helpful, professional and courteous. He worked with me to develop a plan that I could follow and progress. Would recommend if you're looking for a physio.

Movement First Physio & Chiro was recommended to me and I couldn't be more pleased with the professional, attentive, respectful and most importantly evidence based practice physio/rehab that is performed here. Lewis, is one of the most hardworking, kind and well versed physiotherapist I have met and would recommend him to any family member for their rehab, preventative health and athletic goals!

Have had a great experience with Dr Kyle Smart! Had knee problems for a long period of time that affected my sport and training, and he worked with me for 3 months to get out of pain and back to my regular training regime. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this clinic for all your chiropractic needs. Kayla is an amazing chiropractor! She is so caring and listens attentively to all your concerns. She is very knowledgeable and up to date on the research; overall a fantastic experience.

If you really want to make progress in your physio, this is the place to be. You get one on one attention, therapy and exercises without interruption from your therapist going in and out from patient to patient. I found it made me more invested in the process as they walked me through the exercises and made sure they worked the best for me. I believe this made me more invested in my own process and progress and I have in a few months had more progress with Michelle than I have had in years with other therapists.
I would highly recommend Movement First to anyone who really wants results from their physio that will be long term and sustainable.

Kayla is an awesome chiropractor! She uses multiple methods to treat the problem and I always leave feeling better. She’s helped me out with multiple different issues and been great every time!

I have been going to Lewis for my back, neck and knee issues. He has been able to teach me ways to relieve all the strain I have put on my body and introduced me to specific exercises to help prevent future issues. I appreciate his encouragement as well as his focus on getting me strong enough to continue to do what I like to do. Thanks to Lewis, I feel like I have bunch of tools to prevent and speed up recovery.

My husband has struggled to run for more than 10 minutes before suffering severe pain in his calves which has been ongoing for more than 10 years. After seeing Jason he is now back running and even looking forward to trying triathlon again next year.

I found this place through word-of-mouth recommendation from another patient, and I had a really great experience here after blowing my shoulder up. Very thorough and thoughtful treatment program that had me back up and running quickly. Highly recommend.

I've had a fantastic experience with Kelsey, focusing on my general soreness from running/hiking/biking. Her treatments, exercises, and stretching regimen have made a world of difference already! I'd highly recommend anyone reach out for a consultation.

My experience at Movement First was very positive and helpful. Michelle assessed my pains and gave me an exercise program that has helped manage the pain. With follow up visits and her expertise things have improved for me. Thanks again Michelle!

Would highly recommend! Lewis is the best physiotherapist I've ever worked with and I've gone to him multiple times for different injuries over the past few years. He always takes the time listen and get to the root of the problem. The exercises he suggests are challenging but not impossible and he is always fun to talk to!

During my visits with Jessie, her professionalism, genuine care, and the results I achieved were incredible. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

I started seeing Jason, the owner, for physiotherapy since before his move to this location. His approach to physiotherapy not only helped me recover from my injury but also helped me get stronger. Now I see Lewis (because he has some climbing experience) to help me prevent injuries in my training. I highly recommend both Jason and Lewis and I wouldn't hesitate to see any other of the physiotherapists at Movement First Physio.

I had a bad fall playing tennis. I could hardly walk. Lewis identified the source of the problem straight away. He was so encouraging. The exercises and massage helped and within a few weeks I was walking normally. It is very worrisome when you have never hurt yourself before. Lewis is such a personable and professional guy and gave me such confidence that I would recover. I am continuing with physio to build back my strength. Highly recommend Lewis for physio.

Kelsey is so great! I have seen her a couple times now for pain from plantar fasciitis. Kelsey is very hands on and stays with you one on one for the entirety of the appointment. She is so knowledgeable and professional. Kelsey built a program specific to my needs and also helped me understand why I was doing the exercises she gave to me. We have done massage and dry needling as well which have helped tremendously. I have already felt improvement. 10/10 would recommend Kelsey to anyone!

I’ve been seeing Miss Jesse 3 meetings already because of my knee in pain, she is such a wonderful young lady, very professional! Doing such a good job makes me feel better after those exercises, stretching, and most especially the massages that really makes me back to normal after each session!
Thanks a lot Miss Jesse, I will surely come back to see you until my leg 100 % heal!
I already recommended you to my family, to my doctor and friends who will someone needs your magic touch! Thanks again Miss Jesse Brown
