Backs in Action Rehab and Wellness Centre

Dr Khademi is really knowledgeable and helpful in assisting in your healthy feet journey. Will continue to see him and would 100% refer him to friends and family.

Shawn is awesome for acupuncture and cupping. He helped me get rid of pain in my arms and legs from past injuries

Excellent customer service and very skilled professionals makes Backs in Action the best option to heal your pain.

Saw Dr. Danielle McKinney today for lower back pain that radiated down my upper legs. Had a great first experience. She was informative, friendly and after just the initial visit, I’m already feeling the difference and experiencing less pain.

I have been having problems with my right shoulder and arm. My Chiro and now my physiotherapist have been helping me to get better. I cannot even raise my arms bec of several tendinitis and some muscle tear. I'm not done with my therapy yet but I am getting better and I can raise my arms now. Thank you so much to Dr. Peyman. I'm hoping to get all my weak muscle get stronger again. " Let's do it, Andrew! "

Backs in Action makes booking and attending appointments for physiotherapy, massage, etc, very convenient. Every practitioner I have seen provides knowledgeable and efficient treatment.

I had a massage session with Nandan Kumar and when I first gotten into the room. The sheets on the bed were not clean. Also I had the worst massage of my life. I walked out of there with more pain than when I walked in. He put so much pressure and massage me too hard that I was all bruised up. I kept saying to put less pressure and not as strong but his massage remains strong the entire 45 mins. The full 45 minutes I was in pain and couldn't wait until massage is over. I've been to this clinic many time and seen other massage therapists before and never had a problem. This was a really bad experience for me. It's been Day 3 and I am still in pain. My son gave me a hug and when he touched my back it hurts. Even if I touch it, it hurts. I've been taking Tylenol, Advil and icing it. Hopefully this pain goes soon.

I didn't notice that I have such an amazing clinic at my neighborhood! I've been treated physio by Andrew he is very friendly, kind and more likely listener.

I have never done acupuncture before so I didn’t really know what to expect. After a few sessions with Shawn my muscle tightness and imbalances have improved significantly. Shawn is a very knowledgeable and very thorough. He’s helped me alot in the past several months I’ve seen him. Highly recommend for people looking for a great acupuncturist.

I went to Backs in Action for three years; I only left because I moved away. Every practitioner I saw went above and beyond to ensure my wellbeing and recovery and the reception staff were always friendly and helpful with appointments and dealing with ICBC claims.

I saw Dr. Lucas for chiro. I always left sessions with him feeling like a new human. Beyond his adjustments, he always provided valuable insights to help with my recovery. He always asked questions and really maximized the short amount of time in sessions to target my biggest challenges. Half the time, we'd get to chatting so much I wouldn't even clue in he was adjusting my back or neck!

I saw Yasaman for acupuncture. The thought of needles and cupping might seem intimidating at first, but she makes the sessions as painless and comfortable as possible. She provided really beneficial treatments I wouldn't think existed beforehand, like moving cupping and electro-accupuncture. Again, these may seem intimidating, but were very valuable passive treatments.

I saw Andrew for physiotherapy. I appreciate his use of both passive and active modalities. His excercise routines always challenged me and helped target my problem areas. Beyond that, he made every moment of his sessions fun and I always felt comfortable. He's clearly passionate about his work; ask him about IMS!

I saw Rachel for kin / active rehab. Rachel cares for her clients' recovery and will go the extra mile to advocate for them with ICBC adjusters. Rachel will challenge her clients and help them heal and get in good shape. She helped identify and treat problems that I wouldn't think to work on otherwise.

I saw multiple RMTs throughout the years and had to shift a couple times due to scheduling conflicts. I initially saw Amir. Amir will also advocate for his patients and really cares about his patients' comfort and treatment. I also saw Jackson. He was very informative with my care and would always explain what he was doing. Last, I saw Myles. Myles was great to chat with and did an excellent job of identifying and treating problems I didn't recognize I had. He also provided stretches I could do at home, accordingly.

Thank you for all the treatments BinA!

I highly recommend working with Alex if you’re interested in IMS.
I had sworn off IMS a long time ago because all of my past experiences with it were awful, caused anxiety attacks & left me in pain for days. I thought that was normal, blamed my fear of needles, and figured it wasn’t the treatment for me. After hitting a wall in my recovery journey for my neck injury, I decided to give IMS another shot at Backs In Action, and I’m so glad I did. I had no idea IMS could be so easy, calm, and comfortable. Alex is incredible at what he does. He took it slow, checked in a lot, and worked in such a way that caused minimal discomfort & hardly any soreness. I am seeing so much improvement from my IMS treatments, and it’s seems to be helping increase the effectiveness of all my other treatments at Backs In Action. Thanks so much Alex!

I cannot recommend Backs in Action Rehab and Wellness Centre enough. Ever since my car accident in 2019, their team of top-notch therapists has been instrumental in my recovery process. In particular, Shawn Tjen's unmatched knowledge and expertise in acupuncture always pinpoint the origin of my pain and identify other contributing areas.

I also have to give a special shoutout to Amir Ghahremani, one of the most skilled RMTs I've ever encountered. His deep understanding of the human body and sports therapy has been crucial to my recovery. He always identifies the root cause of my pain and discomfort, skillfully applying the necessary pressure to ease tension in my muscles and tissues. As someone who works from home and spends a lot of time sitting, I've developed poor posture that exacerbates my neck and back issues. But thanks to Amir's expertise, he has helped me treat the root cause of these issues and provided me with invaluable tips to improve my posture and avoid aggravation.

In addition to Shawn and Amir, I've also seen Lucas Tisshaw, a great chiropractor who is patient, understanding, and highly professional. His chiropractic treatments have helped me manage my lower back and neck injuries, and his explanations of the treatment process always put me at ease.

Overall, Backs in Action Rehab and Wellness Centre offers a comprehensive approach to physical rehabilitation and sports therapy. Their commitment to patient care is evident in every interaction, and I'm grateful to have found such an outstanding clinic. If you're looking for a personalized and effective approach to physical therapy, I highly recommend giving them a try.

After my car accident, I put off getting any acupuncture for my back at first, because I have a huge fear of needles. Plus I had had a horrible acupuncture experience at a different clinic years ago, that resulted me having a panic attack. When I finally decided to give it another try, I went to Yasaman and she was so so so accommodating. She creates a relaxing environment from her warm and inviting energy, to the soft music she plays, the lighting, and the cozy heat lamp. She starts off with using hot stones which is phenomenal for reducing tension, and then uses cupping to prepare my affected areas for treatment. Then when it's time, Yasaman does this little trick of tapping on areas of my back that are far away from where she is placing the needle. This does wonders for distracting my brain from the sensation of the needle, and preventing any anxiety! Once the needles are in, if I want privacy, she gives it. If I want her to stay and chit chat, she does, and we always have a lot of fun. She is always super receptive to what areas I express are bothering me, and accommodates my wishes while putting my safety first! Being treated by Yasaman has done wonders for my healing, and I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting acupuncture— Especially if it’s your first time, or are nervous about needles.

Dr Stetz is amazing. He has magic hands. He really listen to what problems you’re experiencing. I leave feeling corrected and relieved. Best chiropractor in the city HANDS DOWN

First visit with Dr Yung and it went really! He's very knowledgeable, listened and worked on painful or tense areas for quite a while using active release, like deep tissue massage, in my shoulders and in my arms suffering with tendonitis. I really appreciate the time he took to roll out those areas and explain what is going on with my various issues! Friendly, thoughrough, Would definitely recommend!

I got Chiropractor and Accupuncture/cupping treatment here. Both Dr. Lucas and Dr. Shawn we very knowledgeable about the lower back tightness that I was experiencing and gave me long term solutions to my problems. The cupping and accupuncture, in particular was very effective for the lower back tightness that I was experiencing

I will always recommend Backs in Action. They create individual treatment plans for their patients. They are supportive and dedicated.

Denise developed a solid plan to correct my problem. I am optimistic that working with her will be very productive.

Denise (Physio), Joseph (chiro), and the front desk staff (specifically Rochelle) are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this clinic!

Did massage therapy twice. Felt so good and really needed it to loosen my tight shoulders and manage the pain. The two different RMTs really helped and knew what they were doing. Didn’t have to wait long. Booked online when needed - easy.

Got an appointment on the same day. Needed a fitness report, so that I could go back to work. Tests were done and report created ASAP. Great service with a friendly smile.

Danielle was just lovely. She was thorough and heard everything I had to say. I felt safe in her hands. She was a true professional and I’m so thrilled to have found someone like her. I felt better immediately after the appointment. Thank you Danielle

I've been coming her for a while and the staff are awesome. They do a great job. Can't recommend this place enough

Denise is professional and dedicated to her patients. She is supportive and very well trained as a P. T.

Dr. Danielle McKinney is the best doctor ever. I highly recommend her. Now my migraines are less that before thanks to her treatment.

Great place. My first time there. Dr Lucas made me feel comfortable. Very professional and understanding of my personal needs. I will be back! Thank you!

Good experience with Adam today.
He was very professional and communicated every step well including emailing me the stretching exercises I should be doing.

An absolutely outstanding clinic! Dr. Joseph Yung is always on time, but our appointments never seem rushed. He is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, and considerate. Dr. Yung takes the time to ensure you leave feeling better and walk out with more ease (and at ease:). Whether it be a problem with your neck, hips, back, or knees - he knows it all and can get you back on your feet with gusto!

I have dealt with them since my injuries back in 2018, I am beyond grateful to have found them. What an amazing team with high quality care.

From frontline admin staff, to coordinators, to each therapist. Such high quality of customer care, AND technical knowledge.

I had back pain from a recent spinal injury and I feel a lot better after visiting Dr. Yu today. Highly recommended!

I started seeing Nathan for back pain recently and I found him to be excellent. He did lots of tests to find the root cause of my back pain and he has been very helpful in explaining what the problem is and how to fix it. Would definitely recommend Nathan.
