ACTIVE THERAPY CLINIC

I have been seeing both Michal (for Osteopathy services) and Dada (for massage therapy services) for my lower back pain and its rehabilitation. I have been to many, many professionals in these areas due to my lower back pain over the years. However, these two, Michal and Dada, are absolutely phenomenal and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Michal has been a real gift to me as my first osteopath. He is very gifted at understanding my complex issue and is both gentle and effective. I've recommended him to a few of my people. Brent is also a very skilled RMT and Rolfer. It's been a great experience all around and I'm so glad I found this place!

Dr. Darvish is a Gem. As a trained orthopaedic Surgeon, he is a wealth of knowledge and a walking encyclopedia. I went from being literally paralyzed by sciatica back pain to walking comfortably in a matter of minutes. Thank you Dr. Darvish, you are a Life Saver.

I feel so fortunate to have found Dada at Active Therapy to be my massage therapist under my ICBC claim. She is the absolute best massage therapist I have ever experienced! Dada brings so many skills to the work; excellent assessment tools before each session to gauge my needs and progress; deep knowledge of the body and an ability to explain what she is doing and why; short, effective exercises I can do on my own to increase my flexibility. My sessions with her were essential to my recovery. She was always responsive to my needs in the moment, focusing on the areas of my body that required attention. I appreciate her teaching ability, her explanations of how systems interrelate and how to get them working in harmony. Dada deepened my understanding of and respect for my body and I am forever grateful for her contributions to my wellbeing! Plus, the office is well run and receptionists always welcoming and helpful. Thank you Dada, Jana, Tessa and Sam!

I am new to seeing an Osteopath and have mostly seen Mehrdad Darvish. He has helped me immensely (understatement) in a very short time with a long standing ankle issue. His background as an orthopedic surgeon (licensed abroad) is a tremendous asset. I have also seen Michal and Kirsten on occasion with an equally positive experience. The front staff have been great and have been very accommodating. Excellent experience overall and I am VERY thankful.

Dr. Webb helped me with my seasonal allergies so much that I didn’t need allergy medication last summer.

I saw Dr Darvish in this clinic for a chronic elbow and shoulder pain. He immediately figured out which bones and muscles were involved, and he knew the exact treatment that my shoulder and elbow needed. He is knowledgeable, skilled, professional and patient.
He elaborated all the details regarding muscles, ligaments and bones, and how they can coordinate with each other. He taught me how to use my shoulder and elbow to prevent any more injuries.
I am going to see him more, as my pain has significantly subsided, and I am positive following his advice assists me in finally getting rid of this chronic pain
I appreciate your time and expertise Dr. Darvish

I saw Brent Scrivner for Massage Therapy. I had multiple chronic issues with my body which developed over time and had started to cause pain. Brent methodically worked on each issue one by one and slowly the pain went away and my body started moving better. I believe Brent’s empathy for his patients, passion for his work and technical knowledge of his field makes him the best Massage Therapist.

I have seen Mehrdad Darvish (osteopath) several times now and I’m very impressed. He has improved my healing time dramatically and helped to identify the root of the problem. Mehrdad is very thorough, caring and extremely good at what he does. He is an orthopaedic surgeon in his country of origin, so to have that level of expertise combined with his osteopathic background is pretty amazing in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Michal and Drahomira, for your excellent osteopathic and massage therapy services. Clean and calm atmosphere. Perfect customer service at the front desk.

I had been experiencing chronic back pain from a prior spinal injury for three years, and had seen a physiotherapist, physiatrist, and a neurosurgeon.all had misdiagnosed the cause of the pain based on MRI imaging and put me on a course of treatment that was ineffective. On my first visit with Dr. Mehrdad Darvish, he identified the real root cause of the pain and treated it effectively in under an hour. His prior experience as an orthopaedic surgeon was invaluable and he took the time to review my MRI imaging himself and explain to me what he was seeing in depth so that I can take appropriate actions to prevent further issues over the long term. I am so grateful to be able to walk pain free again.

I have tried quite a few RMTs but Samuel Peters who works at this clinic is absolutely amazing. He is very professional, kind and I was impressed with his skills and work. Only when giving him this compliment, I learnt I was his very first client. I'd never guess that and definitely can recommend him to everyone who is looking for a TOP RMT care. Sam is great!

Megan is awesome! She’s always willing to provide additional exercises to improve mobility and/or reduce a problem area. She listens to your needs and checks in throughout your massage. She’s my go-to massage therapist now!

After struggling with lower back issues for years, I was introduced to Michal Kapic and to the practice of rolfing. Since then I have become a raving fan of both. Michal takes great pride in his work and his knowledge of his craft and the people he works with. Working with him I have gained great insight into my own body and have not had a debilitating back spasm in four years.

I have been seeing homeopath Jana Cimermanova since early 2014. It is hard to write a review that can encompass just how grateful I am to her for helping me with my health issues. Every year, my life, health and happiness has improved exponentially because of her (with her remedies, wisdom and healing modalities). She is a gifted intuitive healer and I could not recommend her more highly or enough.

I feel grateful and honoured to have Jana Cimermanova as a homeopathic practitioner. Her guidance and wisdom brought me such comfort and hope today that I needed and that I haven't felt in awhile. So truly grateful! Thanks!:) <3

I made an appointment with Michal after a year of constant back and pelvis pain. I've seen him several times so far (and will definitely continue) as the pain has almost disappeared, my body feels so much better and it is such a relief! Michal is an amazing osteopath, very professional, kind and calm person. He has a deep knowledge of human body. I highly recommend Michal to anyone who wants to heal not just by taking a painkiller pill but by finding the real cause of the problem.

Michal is an amazing therapist. He's gentle yet deep treatments have helped me out of pain and back to my favourite activities. I highly recommend this clinic.

I’ve tried several different healing techniques in the last two years for my sciatica/lower back and neck pain. I can safely say that Michal is up at the top of my list.

Michal combines professionalism with a genuine warmth and friendliness that allows you to feel calm, reassured and in good hands throughout the sessions. He also provided documented exercises to improve my condition between the appointments.

I highly recommend The Active Therapy Clinic - very clean and welcoming environment with reliable, effective, and professional services. They also offer Naturopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, and Registered Massage Therapy.

I have been going to Michal for a back injury and the treatments he provides have been instrumental in my recovery process. This is a healing space as I often tell Michal. Thank you for the excellent help you provide.

I’ve spent years with a troubled back from an old mountain biking injury compounded by a desk job. I’ve been through at least a dozen different practitioners each with their own approach and ability. Michal is the best that I have found. He brings a holistic, comprehensive, supportive and progressive expertise that is unparalleled in my experience. I highly recommend Michal and Active Therapy if you’re interested in working with him and others towards restoring your health.

I have complete praise for this man and his procedure.
My body has never felt this flexible in awhile!
His has corrected so many misalignments in my muscle structure️
Can be discomforting? Yes, but the results are worth it!
Go see him NOW! ️

I highly recommend this clinic. Michal is a great and professional therapist who is helping me with a post-surgery recovery of my lower leg and ankle. With every single appointment, I'm always a step closer to full recovery and forgetting about my injury!

The best osteopath in the lower mainland! Highly recommend Michal to anybody who suffers from pain or discomfort. Very professional and very helpful! 5 stars!

I highly recommend Active Therapy Clinic. They offer holistic approach such as Osteopathy, Naturopathy or Homeopathy. Their clinic is very clean and proffesional. I highly recommend this facility.

I had not known about Osteopathy until a few years ago when a co-worker described it to me as being a common treatment in Mexico and it sounded like a perfect treatment for so many things.

At my first appointment, I was amazed at how thorough, professional, and knowledgeable Michal is in his field and was hooked.

With a combination of osteopath, rolfing, laser therapy, craniosacral therapy, etc, he really gets to my body's issues I'm having (neck, knee, ankle, posture, etc).

I took couple treatments with Michal when I had back pain and after that some postpartum issues and I can't thank enough for his healing! He is very gentle and professional, explains everything that is going on in a way that I can understand, and is very willing to answer any questions I have. As we know all is connected in our bodies and Michal treats body as an integrated whole which is awesome! Gently, carefully, effectively, professionally. All in one session.
If I have any kind of pain on my body or feel any discomfort, I would not hesitate to book a session with him again and again.
Go see him
