Catalyst Kinetics Group

A one-stop shop for your body! Fascial stretch therapy, kinesiology, physiotherapy, natural path, chiropractor and trigger point therapy. There is more but that's what I access. The therapists are very kind and have a good sense of my physical and pain limits. Lots of good explanation for exercises and checkins for proper form and pain. I have high hopes for some pain relief and increase of body motion.

Catalyst has been incredible for my overall health. I began by seeing Trent for chiropractic care, and eventually added in physio, massage and kin, leaving other providers to unify my care at Catalyst.

What's really helpful is the team communicates with each other and works together at providing recommendations, which I credit to speeding up the healing process. Andrea (physio), Trent (chiro), Konrad (kin) and Julie (massage) have all been exceptional.

The front desk staff are super helpful, and other than a couple parking availability issues I have nothing but rave reviews to give all aspects of the clinic!

My wife was in pain and Dr. Jim Sahota saw me on his day off during a long weekend. Extremely appreciative of him going above and beyond.

Dr. Berghamer has been such a life-saver for me. I've had severe, debilitating neck pain for over 15 years (Craniocervical Instability). I finally learned it was from a rare genetic condition (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). I tried everything from chiropractic care, physiotherapy (one physiotherapist in particular has been very helpful), laser pain therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, CBD oil, medications, but all of those things just kept my head above water. I was diagnosed with Craniocervical Instability by Dr. Blaskovich at the Whiplash Clinic and he referred me to Dr. Berghamer. I started prolotherapy with hope and desperation, but I had no idea how much it would help me. After the 2nd session I started to notice improvements: my pain decreased and my neck was becoming more stable. After each treatment, the improvements are more obvious. I go every 4 weeks and that, plus weekly physio, has improved my quality of life drastically. I recently had to go 6 weeks without prolo and experienced some neck pain; it reminded me of what life looked like before Dr. Berghamer's treatment. My husband and I have noticed the biggest difference in my functioning since seeing him. He's also helped me with other health concerns.

I went to see Zachary for my lower back injury. Before seeing Zach, I was having trouble with my hip flexor movement. After the treatment, I was able to bring my knee to my chest level to put my shoes on. Great treatment and helped a lot!

Been going to see Austin for a little over a year now and he's been phenomenal. Very thorough in his work and does a great job at explaining and educating along the way. I've seen multiple chiro's, but Austin stands out as the best by far. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable chiro!

These guys are the real deal. Absolutely phenomenal team, professional and dedicated to their craft. Would rate higher if I could.

I've come here for bike fits, massage, chiro and physio. Each practitioner is amazing at what they do and also discuss things with one another to give me the best treatment plan possible.

I've seen Dr. Der Spencer for my sport injuries. He is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate. I had clear explanation of mechanism of the injuries, what to expect for the recovery and how soon I can get back to gym. He suggested progressive rehab program, which was working well. The exercises considered a type of sport I am involved. Der definitely cares about his patients and has a very good knowledge.

Excellent and feel great after an adjustment. Been going for over 5 years. Very professional and welcoming.

I saw Sarah Lamb for my vertigo. She listened to every word I said and treated me accordingly. I left the clinic hopeful based on my experience. Since
my appointment, my vertigo has not come back! Highly recommend this clinic! 10/10!

I just want to thank Dr. Berghamer and my amazing physiotherapist, Adrienne, for helping me get back to 100% so that I could play goal again. I had hip pain for about 6 months (from 4-5 ice times a week last season) culminating in a tear in February 2022.

Adrienne had been treating me regularly and suggested I speak to Dr. Berghamer re: PRP therapy. I had an MRI done in early April to confirm the tears (along with an additional tear to one of my tendons) and had a PRP injection done end of April. I followed the recovery recommendations fully and also completed my rehab as per my therapist. I could not believe the results and am just thrilled that I can walk again normally, sit cross-legged (I could not without pain before), sit for an hour without my hip aching, and best of all I can be on the ice again without hesitation. I cannot thank them enough for their knowledge, expertise and patience.

My post-injection MRI was done end of June and showed all the tears were now healed. I attended 2 goalie camps in July and August without issue — zero pinch or pain on the ice and no ache or issue afterwards. I have now been playing a month into the fall season and am still feeling great! I am now limiting myself to just 3 ice times a week and am continuing my rehab and strength/conditioning program.

All I can say about PRP is that the results are amazing and it works! I have 2 other hockey teammates that had it done on their knees (meniscus) and they’re back to playing pain-free as well!

Thank you again!: o)

Dr. Jimmy Sahota is the best chiropractor I ever seen if you have back pain defiantly recommend him

I had a massage with Sarah Ma for an RMT session and I highly recommend her! Her treatment felt very specific and catered to all of my back, neck, shoulder issues. Thank you Sarah! I will definitely be coming back

I’d been seeing Sarah Lamb at the Burnaby Catalyst Kinetics every 2-3 weeks for that last few months for physiotherapy in regaining movement to my shoulder and have found her to be quite simply, outstanding. She is both professional and personable. WIth her extensive knowledge base and skill set, she’d have me perform a few exercises and explain their purpose and would provide additional details information whenever I asked for any clarifications. I highly recommend Sarah for their physio needs.

Thanks Sarah for all your help!

I had been dealing with knee pain for quite a few years and have seen several other physiotherapists in the past to little avail. After a few months of working with Spencer, the knee pain has fully resolved. I found Spencer to be professional, very knowledgeable and quite encouraging throughout and would definitely work with him again.

My wife and I have been coming here for the last two years and we see Christine every time!

I had a massage with Sarah Mah and she was great. She had good pressure, varying between strong pressure and a bit less for the tendor areas. I felt very comfortable with her and she is very kind and I would definitely recommend her and returning to her.

I have been going to Catalyst regularly for years now. I started making appointments for a pretty bad back injury and have kept going routinely to prevent a new injury. With the help of Tucson's massage, Mathew's chiro, and Justin's physio I am pain free and have been able to maintain that.

Davinder Kalsi (RMT) has been been helping me get back to health after a car accident. He has been incredibly knowledgable and helpful. Would highly recommend him if your looking for a RMT!

I am so glad that I came here. I started with Dilpreet and she was amazing. I began to notice the change right after my first session. Due to timing issues, I have been booking with Julie and she too is a blessing in my life. I have begun to notice huge improvements in my shoulder. I have nothing but great things to say about their professionalism. I see Julie every week and the speed of healing leaves me shocked after every session. Julie makes notes and does exactly what is needed for the next session. I am in really good hands! Thank you Julie, Dilpreet and the friendly front desk Catalyst team!

Had a great experience at this clinic! Claire Wilson was recommended by a colleague after experiencing chronic muscle pain for years. She’s been extremely helpful in my recovery. Highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Christine Yang for the past two years for my shoulder and back injuries. She’s very friendly and personable. She always give helpful recommendations to help improve my injuries. Christine is also very good at following up with me even though she have many clients she still remembers what I need for treatments.
I have recommended my roommate to have a session with her and would recommend anyone that needs an RMT.

Christine Yang is an incredible RMT. She's very detail-oriented, takes care of her patients and it's easy to see that she is experienced. I can honestly say she gives the best massages in the lower mainland, hands down. I always look forward to my sessions with her. If you're looking for an RMT, see Christine at Catalyst!

The practitioners at Catalyst Kinetics are amazing! My Kinesiologist Konrad Zielinski has been working with me to improve my strength and help my shoulder, back and neck pain. He is kind, fun to work out with and he puts a lot of careful thought and consideration into choosing which stretches and exercises to focus on.

I have been seeing @davinder.rmt for a couple months now. Great guy, very knowledgeable, and super laid back. He has helped tremendously when it comes to managing my injuries.

Great place to go for physiotherapy and naturopathy, two services I've used so far. I had injured my lower back during exercise and decided to try this place out as it was recommended by a colleague. Justin Mazzei was so understanding of my situation and gave great care. His approach to heal my back was simple yet very effective. After 3 visits with him, my lower back pain was completely gone and still feels great. Being able to do deadlifts again makes me VERY VERY HAPPY! I couldn't have done it without him. Should I have any issues in the future I will definitely go to him again. Thank you Justin!: D: D: D

Trent is a fantastic Chiropractor! He is warm, welcoming and so knowledgeable and I leave feeling like I am floating on clouds.

Over several years the therapists at Catalyst Kinetics have helped me through severe back pain and injuries. The massage therapists (Tycson, Kelvin and others), physiotherapist (Sarah Lamb), Kinesealogist (Konrad) and chiropractors have really helped to strengthen my body and help me function in my day to day activities. Today I am able to do this I did not think I ever was capable to do. All thanks to the great team work at Catalyst and the knowledge they have.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Austin Campeau! He was knowledgeable, skilled and thorough. He spent so much time with me and answered all my questions. Within 2 visits my pain was completely gone. He is not only skilled but personable too. He is such a sweetie. I highly recommend going to see him if you're looking for a good chiropractor!

Excellent facility with a staff of therapists that is second-to-none. I drive from North Van to see Stefan for chiro 8+ times a year and always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Can't recommend Stefan or the entire team highly enough!

The team at Catalyst are fantastic. I highly recommend Marcel for any physiotherapy needs. Marcel constantly builds and adjusts my exercises and treatments to increase my strength and lessen my pain.
The staff at Catalyst are always warm and inviting, and everyone is always very compassionate towards the patients. I can’t recommend Catalyst enough.

Julie Nellis is an excellent RMT. She cares about what I feel during the massage and gives me advice that how to stretch in daily life. Will definitely go back doing massage with her!

I’ve been going to Catalyst for 6+ years.
The team at catalyst has always taken the best care of me. Through years of lifting injuries, a concussion from a car accident, and through two pregnancies, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences and results for my health. Several of my friends and family members also use the services at Catalyst.

I have been visiting Tycson at Catalyst Kinetics Group for many years. He is an amazing and highly knowledgeable RMT that is always looking for the best way to help with an injury or to help with the overall maintenance of your body. I would highly recommend Tycson for anyone that is looking for a RMT

I love Catalyst Kinetics Group. As far as I know, this place is super well-known in the health care field. It is easy to park. The receptionist is very nice. Whenever I go get a treatment, I am satisfied with the chiropractic service more than 200%. My practioner’s name is Dr. Mathew Gerwin-Venner. He is truly amazing and considerate, so I feel lucky about I could meet him after a couple of car accidents in the past. I highly recommend this place!

I got a massage from Kelvin for glute pain and a shoulder so stiff that I had trouble shoulder checking while I was driving. I was able to get a last minute booking with Kelvin. I was about to go on a family trip so I didn’t want to be in pain walking around. Kelvin listened to my concerns, asked questions and was able to pinpoint the muscle groups that needed the most help. I would totally recommend Kelvin. However, one thing I wished Catalyst had was direct billing. If Catalyst was closer and had direct billing, I’d definitely visit more regularly.

If you’re looking for a place with great results and whether it be recovery or not, this is the place to go!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Mohammed for over 2 years now for my ICBC (2 separate cases) injuries and he does amazing work. I always recommend Zain to friends/family when they want to see a chiropractor.

I now also see Crystal for massage therapy and 100% would recommend her for sessions.

I will be starting appointments with Justin for Active Rehab soon and will also do a review on him as well!

Trent is the best! I’m only posting because I’m moving out of province, otherwise I’d keep my mouth shut so he doesn’t get too popular and make it hard to get in!
Honestly, he’s helped me through concussion issues, stupid working from home back pain, general health and well-being check ups and I’ve always been able to recover rapidly from whatever ails me as a result. Plus we always have a laugh. Thanks Trent.

Also shout out to Sarah and Linda and Claire. You guys rock too.

The healthcare specialists here are all fantastic. I've used multiple RMTs but Lene is really great! And I've utilized their physiotherapists quite a bit whenever I am in training mode and they're amazing! Marcel is a great physio if you're very focused on heavy lifting and want to make sure you're taking care of yourself with the pre-hab!

I was over joyed to find a place where I felt that I would be take care of.
I suffered a concussion over a year ago. From it, I had disabling vertigo and many more symptom's.
Dr. Sigalet made me feel like there was hope. Not only adjusting me but helping me navigate my way though this difficult time. I am improving slowly every day. Thank-you so much:)

The team at Catalyst are my go to for repairing all those nagging sports injuries I've had over the years. By process of elimination Stefan and Sarah and the rest of the team are removing the pain I have lived with for years just thinking that was my reality. Old school and cutting edge methodologies are intertwined seamlessly between practitioners with a real collaborative approach to help you get what you want from your body. I recommend to all weekend warriors or pro athletes or anyone wanting great body mobility and ability this is the go to place with great people.

This is my first visit after re-opening. Thankfully they were opened on Saturday. I needed the treatment after falling from ladder. Dr. Mathew's treatments was an instant ease on my gait & balance. Thank you

I was involved in an MVA many years ago that has left me with a broken body and intense chronic myofacial pain syndrome. I have tried the health care system and have been jumping through hoops for years along with every pill, injection, program or therapy doctors and therapists could think of.

There were many times I did not want to go on in life anymore. I worked so hard only to fall, get back up and fall, and try try try again, all the while trusting a health care system that has many flaws. I was debilitated for around 6 months. Pain that only death could relieve.

It may sound crazy but I had no one else to turn to but cry out to God and gave my life to Him. I finally gave up thinking I had any control over my life at all. Things changed after that and I was introduced by my best friend's buddy at a dinner who could tell I was hiding pain. He mentioned a Dr. M. B. So with no options left I went. He was the first doctor that did a hands on assessment of my entire body and knew of every injury both past and present. I came in with a neck brace and sling to hold up my arm that did not work and weeks of tension headaches. This Doctor used an ultra sound to guide needles into my vertebrae and platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP) into my jaw, shoulder and other structures where he discovered multiple tendon tears that were deemed un treatable by other specialists post MRI's. Immediately I walked out being able to move my neck in all directions plus I could use my arm again.

It has been very painful journey but I am happy to report I do not take 4 of the meds prescribed any longer. The remaining meds have been cut to almost nil and I can work my health care job and complete another attempt at my degree. Most importantly I can be a better husband and father to my son. Obviously I thank Dr M. B.for all of this but I truly believe God has given him an extraordinary gift to heal on a holistic level.

He is not your average naturpath, this man knows human anatomy and physiology better than any doctor I have met battling this pain for more than 20 years. If you suffer from pain, and you have given up. Do not give up yet. Go see this doctor and the amazing health care team he is supported by and see for your self. I know God blessed me with this man and I am so very thankful to actually want to live again. My quality of life has drastically improved. Plus he is a wealth of knowledge and funny too. I know our time together is coming to an end because I am getting better but he will always be my primary care provider and the one who knows my body better than I do.

He is non-judgmental and delivers client-centred, strengths-based, recovery-focused, authentic, genuine, responsible, accountable, and passion driven integral care to every patient he serves. You'll know what I am talking about when you meet him.

The front staff are all amazing people too and are lovely to deal with. I talk with clients in the waiting room and feedback regarding other practitioners is always positive. Thanks you Catalyst Kinetics. Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel towards you. You really took care of me during a time of essential need.

The pandemic has lead to some changes. You have to text your first and last name when you arrive for your appt and wait in your car. There is a form you'll need to sign before showing up and your temperature may be taken at the door. There is multiple hand washing and hand sanitization stations. There will be no body waiting in the waiting room until further notice

I've been seeing Dr Sigalet for several years now and amongst the biggest issues he's fixed for me is my post concussion syndrome. I can't imagine having to deal with the issues I used to deal with anymore. I have been able to live a normal life again all because of him and several staff @ Catalyst including Dr Jim Sahota, Dr Trent Whitall, massage therapist Tyson Boult, Dr Berghammer and Dr Bastien. This place will fix you and in most situations quickly. They never pressure you to come back. In fact they're so busy they really work to get you fixed and gone. I owe this place my life. I truly believe everyone should go here, when you need it of course. Getting old sucks.

I booked in to see Dr. Wilson the other day for a Naturopathic session because I had general low back pain that would not go away. It was affecting my work, my sleep and my daily activities. My appointment with Dr. Wilson was professional, educational and. I left feeling SO much better with added daily changes she gave me to stay pain-free. Thank you so much Dr. Wilson! Couldn't recommend enough!

As an trail ultra distance runner, I have had major problems with injuries over the years. However Amanda Goy and the Catalyst team has been kept me nearly injury free for three years now! Her ability to diagnose injuries, treat them, and set a plan of action for long term athletic development is outstanding. Her dedication to patient education and to their wellbeing is unparalleled. The entire team and facilities are amazing. Highly recommended.

I see Dr Trent Wittal for my Chiropractic needs, as a competitive power lifter it’s nice to work with someone who understands sport performance as well as Trent does.

Went to see chiro and felt much better after. Effective treatments, no direct billing though. And appointment reminder was emailed when I arrived in the office lol.

I have now seen chiropractor Dr. Jim Sahota twice and the results have been great. I was having shoulder and arm pain from softball and also a nagging ankle injury from a 10+ year old sprain. My assessment was thorough and informative. I will be incorporating some naturopath into my treatment plan next week as well as RMT. I am glad that all services are provided under one roof making Catalyst a one stop shop. The only downside is that they do not direct bill to benefits providers, but I am fortunate to have a quick and simple claim process. The space is clean and all staff are friendly. My appointments have all been on time and availability of clinicians has worked well with my schedule. I look forward to receiving further treatment on the injuries I have sustained over my years of competitive sports.

About a month ago at a community fair I met Diana Cheng, a certified Watsu practitioner. At the time I had no idea what watsu was and I was curious. After a brief conversation with Diana I decided to take a leap of faith and booked an appointment. This is a therapy to be experienced rather than to be described. When I was in the pool with Diana, I felt I belonged in the water, like fish in the sea. At the end of the treatment I had a complete sense of peacefulness, no words were required. Thank you Diana for this amazing experience and your kindness.

I went to Rob Wright for bike fitting and I was extremely satisfied, I highly recommend him to beginners and veteran bikers.

I go to gym 5 times a week and earlier this year I was thinking to bike to work on recreational bases and go for longer rides on the weekend, I had a dilemma which bike to choose, on one hand to choose the best bike for all weather condition, and on the other hand not to compromise the components of the bike because I was planning to take the bike to work and I was afraid of the bike being stolen. I visited some stores in Vancouver to get professional opinion, spoke with some friends and read some blogs, all information were helpful but I felt more lost until Trek Store introduced me to Rob.

Before saying anything else, I should mention Rob is the friendliest person on planet and when I met him, I felt I know him for years. He was extremely genuine and passionate about biking, and I connected with him immediately. He spent time going through all my medical history and professionally measured my sizes.

I asked Rob if he could help me find a bike and he happily accepted. Based on my measurement, usage of the bike, the information I provided him and the money I was going to spend, Rob gave me some options between Trek, Norco and Specialized. He was truly unbiased and his focus was to help me choose the bike which best suits me. I have booked an hour consultation with him for bike fitting, but because I am an armature biker and I was asking him so many questions, we went over the time a bit and I was worried about it, he assured me that I can ask all my questions with ease.

Something I forgot to mention was that based on the conversation I had with him, he recommended me to see an sport physiotherapist because he noticed I have a stronger upper and lower muscles without having strong core muscles which I agreed and he also spent time to find me a physiotherapist.

During my conversation I mentioned that my colleagues are attending “The Ride to Conquer Cancer 2019“ in July and most likely I will miss the chance to join them as I was not physically ready to ride 200 K this year. Rob mentioned that he could introduce me to some other biking groups instead.

Rob is a very trustable adviser and helped me a lot in every aspect, He is very passionate about biking and what he does, I could not be any happier after meeting him, the ownership he showed was phenomenal, he went above and beyond to help me, with his professional help, I bought my bike with confidence.

Rob Wright is the most professional and friendliest bike adviser; he is the true star and genuine biking ambassador.

This facility is really great. I have been going for a couple of months now and my health really seems to be top priority. They really want to get to the bottom of the issue and want to solve it. Would definitely recommend.

Diana Cheng Watsu practitioner is amazing at what she does. It was my first time experiencing this and I felt totally at ease while I was being floated. She let me release pent up emotions in a safe and caring environment. In addition she had floated my son and had given him the opprtunity to experience this wonderful treatment. Her patient and friendly demeanor, along with her technique made it a very positive experience. I would highly recommend her!

The doctors are very knowledgeable and very good at what they do. I love that this place has all the health care experts I need for complete rehabilitation. From the chiropractor to the physiotherapist to active rehab, my patient file is shared between all the health care providers. Makes sense.

This place is great. Saw Dr. Zain for chiro treatments and he definitely knows what he's doing. He takes his time treating you and recommends things you can do at home to get better on your own time. As well, I started Active Rehab sessions with Brandon. In the past when i've done active rehab at other facilities, they just show you the exercises once and you have to do it on your own, Brandon sticks with you for an hour every session and doesn't leave to help 5 other patients at the same time. I've had a lot of treatment on my back over the past few years, and for the first time I can actually feel real results of getting better. I highly recommend Catalyst for all Chiro/Physio/Massage treatments.

I've been seeing Dr. Shannon for approximately two years now, not necessarily for a sickness each time but to obtain an optimal level of performance and health. Her knowledge base and skill level are unparalleled to any other medical professional I've ever encountered, both in the traditional and alternative medical worlds. Above all she spends the time to explain the what and why connections of each different "issue" that may be coming up for you in a way that is super accessible (especially if you don't know very much about the topics - like me) She helps you understand the benefit of the recommended treatment she gives going forward.

I can't say enough good things about her care, I've always understood and been given options for my treatments. She never pushes or makes you feel like a bother for (all) the questions you ask. I'd shout her name from the rooftops if it was socially acceptable. 10/10 recommend to all my friends and fam.
