East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic

Finally checked out East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic. They're attached to the same building as Canuck Volleyball.

They have physios, RMT’s, chiro and kinesiologists/AT’s. Did not have a good experience with the front desk staff. Their website isn’t even updated to reflect higher prices (ie.massages state $115.00/hour).

Went for a 60 min massage with Kevin Dinh ($130.00+GST) who did a decent sport style massage. Good chat and he provided some interesting exercises to try.

Wanted to give Veronica Toy (RMT) a try as she offers fascial stretch therapy but doubt I’ll book any future appointments with EVS&RC.

Excellent facility, friendly group of staff, and very well-trained health providers. I have chiropractic treatments regularly, and Felix's sports medicine-based approach is very conducive towards both education and active rehab (not just treatment). Perfect choice no matter which stage you find yourself in your health + fitness journey!

I can't speak highly enough of the team, facility, and experience at EVSRC. I came to Matt with an injury 6 months before needing to be ready for the lacrosse World Championships and he immediately referred me to members of his team (Veronica & Chris - both amazing). They worked to get me not only back to 100% following my injury, but also feeling better than I have in years. Always on-hand for questions and extra support, you won't find two people more committed to their craft.

From the front desk staff to Matt himself, EVSRC is a top class clinic and group of people. I've worked with countless clinics and professionals yet EVSRC is the best of the bunch. 100% recommend.

If you are a competing athlete in sports, specifically speed/power, Chris Spring at this clinic is the best.

He is a consummate practitioner with years of experience, precise understanding of functional anatomy, and the most capable hands. Most can prescribe exercise, few can pinpoint specific areas. Chris is of the few as he understands which tool to use and when to injury-proof an athlete and to achieve highest performance.

Overall he is the perfect mix of being scientifically-grounded but experience-filtered. His sessions include diagnosis, test and retest, manual therapy, giving you the most within your time slot. I see him as an athlete and, as a sports coach, all my athletes see him. He is the best. This is the place to get your performance therapy needs.

Just over a year ago I started at East Van Sports Rehab with Stephanie Jamieson. I had been struggling with a back injury. Being an athlete for many years in my teens and twenties, I was astonished by the lack of understanding I have in regards to my body. Working with Stephanie has not only improved my pain, mobility and function, but it has also given my the confidence to trust that my body can continue to improve. Having a female kinesiologist has also been so helpful because she is able to understand my movement patterns and create some connection. Also, she has really supported me in understanding how important a females pelvic floor is in our daily movements!

I've been working with Kinesiologist Steph Jamieson on my recovery from a car accident in order to get back to dancing professionally and teaching dance full time. I highly recommend Steph to anyone who is coming back from any type of injury and needs to build back their strength.

Steph is attentive and has a keen eye for detail in movement. She gives specific feedback in ways that are easy to understand and apply. As well as being incredibly knowledgeable about the body, she is also a very sensitive, kind, and empathetic listener. She has always been flexible with what I need on a given day, given that my injuries were so complex. I can tell that she truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to bring people back to what they love.

I've also worked with physios Sam & Mila and massage therapist Kevin in the past on the same injuries. My whole recovery team at EVSRC has been exceptional, both in the practical and emotional elements of recovery. There's no doubt in my mind that I would recommend this clinic to anyone who needs support for their recovery. I would not be where I am today without them.

I have been seeing Dr. Felix for my chiropractic needs for the past few years. I originally met him when he was downtown, but I’ve followed him to his new clinic at East Vancouver Sports & Rehab. The sessions always begin with a quick and thorough chat for Dr. Felix to understand my needs for the session – whether it’s for a tune up or specific area for treatment. My adjustments always leave me feeling light, refreshed and new. I highly recommend Dr. Felix for all your (sports) chiro needs.

East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic (EVSRC) is excellent!

I have been going to EVSRC over the past few months as part of my recovery following a motor vehicle accident. In that time, I have been working with an interprofessional team who collaborate to craft a personalized and complementary treatment plan.

My team of experts includes:

Kevin Dinh for Registered Massage Therapy - Kevin is a gem! He is a great listener who is passionate about what he does. His massages identify and target the areas of tension with precision and sensitivity.

Dr. Félix Lascelles-Palys for Chiropractic treatments - Félix is the best chiropractor that I have ever been to! He listens well and he tailors his treatments to my comfort level. His techniques are highly effective, and I feel significant relief after each session. His approach is caring and trustworthy.

Damian Herft for Kinesiology - Damian is a delight to work with! He clearly explains and demonstrates each exercise. He inspires confidence while being encouraging and motivating. I have levelled up quickly under Damian’s guidance.

The front desk staff is communicative, welcoming, and always willing to answer any questions or concerns.

I highly recommend EVRC! You will be in great hands. They offer a caring and comfortable client experience. They also liaise directly with ICBC on my behalf.

As a bonus, it is near the SkyTrain and there is ample free parking on site.

ACL reconstruction (quadricep graft) - Physio Justin Mazzei - Now 8 weeks post op.this review was due. A very genuine, nice, honest and a good physio.every week felt improvement and stronger. Strongly recommend the guy.

- Sunny:)

This clinic has a lot to offer. I’m an aging but active, life-long athlete. In the year I’ve been using the services here, I’ve been treated like you’d expect to be treated, and the results have been nothing short of excellent. Erik Torchia and Kevin Dinh have helped me, but I get the sense that the entire clinic is up to standard. Fully recommended.

Justin was an absolute legend. He worked with me to constantly adjust the treatment plan to meet my needs and help me reach my goals, and made every visit enjoyable. Stoked to say I'm back running again in time for the sunny weather. Thanks so much, Justin!

Justin Mazzei at EVSRC is incredibly knowledgable & professional. I’ve been coming to him for all my soccer injuries and oh man he has never let me down with the outcome. He’s very easy to talk to and listens carefully to pinpoint exactly what needs to be done. Nonetheless I trust his expertise in getting me back to playing the sport I love. I highly recommend Justin & his friendly colleagues to anyone!

Justin Mazzei at EVSRC has been treating the torn ligaments I have since mid April 2021. Fantastic progress each week, has given me confidence to be mobile and follows up with MRI reports and Orthopaedic surgeon visits. The facility is clean and follows all safety protocols which is important. Treatment and exercises have all been tailored to weekly progress. Highly recommend anyone needing physiotherapy to inquire here. As a patient, I find Justin to be caring, informed and goes that extra step to assist with recovery.

Almost a year in we are fully mobile, going up and down stairs (there are 17 at work). No pain, lots of strength and conditioning
with the twice weekly sessions. I have had no surgery and super happy being in the care of this clinic and this physio.

This is my go to clinic for any rehab treatment, specifically for Physio and Massage. Justin Mazzei is my trusted physiotherapist who really takes time to understand your routine, history of your active lifestyle and suggests treatment based on that. He is very knowledgeable about various treatments and works on providing active mobility based treatment advice instead of quick fixes. He also follows up to check on your progress and recommends changes if needed. Highly recommend this place.

After injuring my knee last summer, I started physiotherapy with Justin Mazzei in October 2021, after little improvement. The therapy, exercises, guidance and advice from Justin have been excellent. Justin listens. As my recovery progressed, Justin tailored his therapy and exercises to address lingering issues. The exercises not only stabilized my knee (and restored my confidence in my knee), they increased my balance and overall leg strength. I have been very pleased with Justin’s rehab therapy and would recommend him to anyone recovering from injuries and looking to resume their active life-style.

I recommend Justin Mazzei. I've been seeing Justin to treat a running related hamstring injury, and am seeing progress after several months of trying to solve the problem on my own. I wish I hadn't waited so long. Justin is an intuitive listener, always positive in his approach, and his exercises are challenging, functional and focused. Thank you Justin

Started going here a few weeks ago. Have had 2 RMT sessions with RMT Dylan. Have already noticed a difference. I'm a blind snowboarding athlete so it's important that I take good care of my muscles so I can keep training and working hard toward my goal. Everyone has been super welcoming and helpful. RMT Dylan is super friendly.knowledgeable and super welcoming. Looking forward to more RMT sessions with RMT Dylan!
Highly recommend!

This review is long overdue. I've suffered many injuries due to severe fall and car accidents. I have been and currently attending sessions with Steve Mah, Matt Holtzy, Chris Spring and Brandon Spletzer. I would drive almost an hour each way to have session with them because they bring so much qualification, knowledge, experience, professionalism and skills to the table. Their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan is done by in-depth assessment, rehab exercise plan, and manual therapy components. I've made such a huge progress and I can't thank them enough.

Gym section is always kept clean, organized and sanitized. They abide by Covid rules with scheduled booked times, required PPE, one way direction, sanitizing protocol etc.

I have been seeing Damian with EVSRC for the better part of a year for rehabilitation after I suffered a car accident a few years ago. I am so happy with the progress he has helped me achieve, and while it's been a slow go, he has always been a positive force in reminding me how far I've come in terms of the mobility and pain associated with my injuries. Throughout our training sessions, he has always given me a variety of exercises that have helped me become stronger and more mobile while also giving me the confidence and ability to look after my injuries on days I'm not able to see him. He is always able to adapt workouts in different ways to not aggravate my injuries more. Damian is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and I am very lucky to have found him.

Needed to come on here before the end of the year to rave about one of my bright spots for 2020. East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic! I started going here in late Sept and have been a client of Matt Holtzmann's since day 1. I can't say enough good things about Matt, his knowledge/expertise, professionalism, and the overall benefit he has been to my health and well-being. Not only has he helped me regain my athletic ability to play competitive sports, but the results have had an extremely positive effect on my daily health. The whole staff EVSRC have always been fantastic as well. I would recommend anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being to go check this place out!

Damian Herft provided a great experience for myself to feel welcomed in a new gym and the insights he gave me were unreal. I walk out after each session with Damian having learned so much and having worked my tail off!

Came here to leave a review for Ben Tsang (RMT) as I cannot recommend him and his expertise enough! Every session we leave, I am more educated in treating the root cause of my issues and Ben always makes sure to give me my own homework to do in order to make sustainable progress even without him. His sessions are real work aimed at creating long-term positive impact on areas like range of motion, pain-free movement, overuse.

Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and is keen on helping you understand the importance of each exercise/movement he gives you. I strongly believe he's severely undercharging in terms of all the value he gives in one session! So grateful to have this guy help me be a lifelong functional athlete. Thanks Ben!

I’m a happy client here for years. Damian is a shockingly good coach for such a scrawny fellow. Don’t let his lack of muscles fool you - he’ll help you build your own like a boss. Finally cutting his hair was a nice upgrade as well.

Facility is amazing. Training with Damian has been a pleasure. Made a plan specific to my needs that addressed my shoulder injury and imbalances. Genuinely wants to see me progress and get better every session. Highly recommended!

I’ve been coming to EVSRC for 2 years now. The staff is super knowledgeable and always friendly. Training with Damian (Kin) has been awesome. He’s helped me recover from a couple of injuries and has improved my overall strength and fitness to help me keep up with my two young kids. Veronica (RMT) has also been amazing, along with Justin (physio) too! This clinic has it all and I highly recommend it.

Ben is awesome. I had never been to an RMT before but was having neck and back issues from sitting in front of a computer so much. After our first session and following his advice for a month I'm already feeling much better. We're now focusing on other areas of my health that I didn't even know needed work, Ben rocks!

Highly recommend this place! I've been seeing Matt for just over a month now and am blown away by the progress I've seen, and just how much the guy knows! I have a torn shoulder, and chronic lower back pain that I put off for several years. Within a month, Matt has me doing lifts in the gym that I wasn't able to do for years due to my injuries. The crew here is awesome and some of the best in the industry!

I've been seeing Justin to treat my left knee and I couldn't be more happy with the results. My knee has been improving considerably in just few sessions of treatment. Justin is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable in what he does. 100% recommend him and East Van sports & Rehab.

The facilities here are fantastic! And the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Damian has been helping me recover from my accident. He is knowledgeable, very courteous, and genuinely cares for his patients.

This is a top notch facility with spacious rooms, all new equipment and tables, and friendly staff. Upon arrival I'ma always met by a smile (under the mask) and taken care of immediately. I arrive right on time and I'm in the room with the RMT mere minutes afterwards.

Veronica is highly knowledgeable and super-strong; I'm a 40 year-old 210-pound dude and she find the spots that make me cringe and cry every time but it's all worth it to get the pain relief to keep training hard. Veronica has helped me work though a number of issues related to heavy weightlifting, including tight hips from squatting.shoulder calcification from bench press and back mobility from my sedentary work-from-home job.

Booking is super-easy through their website powered by JaneApp; quick to set up a profile and straightforward to find available appointment times and make multiple bookings. I usually book for a few months out as the appointments tend to fill up quickly! The waitlist system is really nice too as life happens and people have to cancel all the time so if you have some flexibility you can almost always get in.

Great team and staff at East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic. Very knowledgeable, professional Physiotherapists & Kinesiologists. My friends and me have been trained by Damian. I will always recommend 100% to everyone to visit East Vancouver Sports & Rehabilitation for all your injuries.
Thanks

I have been to see Veronica Toy, RMT quite a few times, she is amazing. The few times I have been in to see her she asks questions about injury and gives me suggestions for stretch/recovery. I always feel alleviated when I finish my session with her. Thanks to Veronica my leg/foot injury has gotten way better. The clinic is also very clean and staff is super friendly. Highly recommend this clinic and Veronica Toy.

Beautiful facility and wonderful staff! I have been seeing both Veronica (RMT) and Chris (physio) for awhile now and am so glad to have found such amazing practitioners. They are both very knowledgeable and experienced in their craft and have a variety of modalities that have helped me immensely with my injuries. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Damian's the absolute best! He's patient, professional, and gets me to think about my body mechanics in ways that never occurred to me and keeps me challenged and on my toes!

I've been seeing Damian for the past 6 months. He trains me and my clients. He is absolutely amazing. Not only is he super skilled and very good at what he does, he is amazing with connecting with everyone! He has been so accommodating and understanding and a pleasure to work with. Everyone I have introduced to Damian truly loves working out with him.

Beautiful clinic and training space. The team is extremely professional, educated and the care for each and every client is really impressive. I have been doing my active rehab at EVSRC following a car accident and am grateful to have specialists to meet me where I am at and help me work getting back to my pre-accident self. I specifically work with Holtzy (Matt Holtzmann) and having worked in the health & fitness industry in my past life, there is no-one better, and I am grateful to have someone who cares as much about me and my recovery/journey as he does. Thank-you Matt!

I also appreciate the measures they are taking around cleanliness and responsible social distancing for all of us in the clinic and training centre. Gives me the confidence that I am not putting myself or family at risk and I can really get back to taking care of myself! I would HIGHLY recommend checking out EVSRC for you or anyone you care about. You'll be in good hands.

This is a great facility with very knowledgeable staff. The facility has a multidisciplinary approach and everything that you need all under one roof. It is also attached to a large gym facility and is a great space for athletes and the general population as well. They bill directly to insurance plans and ICBC as well. Can't say enough good things about East Van Sports Rehab Clinic!

One of the greatest facilities I’ve been to as an athlete. This facility has a Physiotherapist, RMT, AT/Kinesiologist, and Naturopath inside their clinic. As well as a huge gym space for working out, which includes two batting cages. VERY AFFORDABLE! ANDD, for athletes or anybody else who wants to recover faster, there are recovery pumps available! This place has a great protocol for their cleaning maintenance:) I definitely recommend checking this place out.

RMT Veronica Toy has absolutely helped me get the extra miles out of my legs and has saved me on many occasions pre and post races with massage and fascial stretch therapy. She identifies problem areas before I even know they are there and helps me get to the root of the issue. Her positivity is inspiring (even as she's digging in those hurts-so-good areas) and I make sure to see her whenever I need a tune-up or some maintenance!

Veronica is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever been to! Her attention to detail and thorough approach is just what I need!

The clinic space is also amazing, clean and modern. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable! Will recommend East Van Sports Rehab to all my family and friends!

Great experience with those guys! Robbi has been great helping me recover from a broken collarbone and cervicals. Super friendly and always checking how am I doing with the manipulation and exercises. Highly recommended.

Easily one of the best experiences I've had at a clinic. I was so impressed by the quality of care I received. Robbi was knowledgable, patient, and thorough while walking me through a diagnosis and providing advice for recovery.

Awesome facility with a dedicated training staff. Can’t think of any place I’ve been to with more to offer than this place. From the rehab and strength training to the the doctors that work with their athletes, everyone is always on the same page and working together to get the best result possible for the athlete. Would highly recommend to anybody especially any athletes looking for serious metric driven training or physical therapy

Robbi is great. His attention and knowledge has made significant impacts on my overall health. He has supported my recovery for both a knee and shoulder injury. Never rushed, and always on time. Recently started working with Matt for some throwing mechanics strengthening and support. In two visits I have already seen an improvement. Highly skilled staff with a huge facility that offers everything you need. Easy to get to with free parking is a bonus.

I came in with a bad groin strain a bit over a month away from a powerlifting competition. Robbie with the physio therapy along with the coaching from Matt had me squatting heavy again very quickly!

Highly recommend this place. Awesome knowledgeable staff and a clean, modern facility with all the best equipment. Go see Robbi for all your needs. His attention to detail and ability to adapt to your individual needs is second to none. Come here once, and you’ll never go elsewhere!

Robbi has been my go to guy for quite some time now.he is very knowledgeable with all types of injuries from day to day activities to any sports/weight-room type of injuries. They have a great facilities and he really takes care of his clients and very personable. I would high recommend him and east van sports & rehab. Make sure to check them both out @eastvansportsrehab & @robbibasranphysio.

The clinic is clean, professional, and efficient. Robbi Basran is an amazing, knowledgeable physiotherapist! He has helped me rehabilitate a torn ankle twice and a fractured wrist, and allowed me to get back to my activities very quickly! Highly recommend this clinic:)

I am so impressed with the quality of care I received at East Van Sports and Rehab. I attended a physio appointment with Robbi after I rolled my ankle. He helped with my symptoms, and also taught me ways I can manage on my own! Robbi was friendly, professional, and I feel as though he really cared about my injury. All of the staff members were very friendly, and the facility was spacious, new and clean. I would recommend to any of my friends or family!

Got treated by Robbi. Awesome facility, clean, professional and great staff:). Would highly recommend

Amazing facility! Amazing staff! They really take the time to explain in detail the situation and put the patient first!

Amazing service and gym to work out in! The staff gives 110% to all clients, very much enjoy my time spent here.

Robbi, their lead physiotherapist, is an absolute magician! I was 10 weeks out from a powerlifting meet and I pulled my back. Two sessions later, I was good to go! He has also treated me for a weird wrist strain, and did wonders. He's great at digging into what is really the issue, versus other physios that I have seen that merely give generic home exercises. His recommendations are highly specific and get straight to the point. I could not recommend him more!

Incredible space, fantastic and friendly service. Robbi’s knowledge and unique care was the best I have ever had from a physio. We were able to rehab my ACL tear with no complications and feel stronger than now than I was before the surgery. I am now back to playing soccer and feel great. Highly recommend EVSRC for any rehab care. The training space they are attached to is biggest and best gym I have seen in the lower mainland.

Easily the top integrated physio clinic in town. I am very busy professional that works in downtown Vancouver and have visited multiple different clinics around town in seek of finding a place that fits my needs and vision. It wasn’t until I visited East Van Sports that I was able to find the place I was looking for!
The clinic’s integrated service offering is second to none and it’s a great place to be with their incredible team and state-of-the-facility. If you are looking to not only heal from an injury but to put yourself in a position both physically and mentally ahead prior to injury – you need to check this place out.
Even if you aren’t within a 10-15 minute drive (which is normally the criteria most seek in a clinic), I can tell you right now, you will thank yourself down the road for starting your recovery here. You only get out what you put in, it is worth the visit.
After your first visit to East Van Sports, you will no longer be asking your friends and family if they know of a good physio clinic, you’ll be the one telling them where to go!
Can’t wait to go back.

The clinic is connected to a large training facility. The staff at EVSR are extremely knowledgeable and work together with both each other and the strength coaches to help you reach your goals.

Amazing clinic/facility! Physios, RMTs, naturopaths, and kins all working together to find the best way to treat and prevent injury and working with the latest research and innovations! Would highly recommend!

Can't say enough about the treatment I received here. I have had multiple sports injuries in the past year, and have seen a number of specialists. Not until I came here did I get the treatment I needed to get back on the playing field. Couldn't be happier. Beautiful facility that is attached to a high end training center. Everything in one place to look after my health and wellness

This brand new clinic is truly special. The clinic is integrated with a high-performance training facility, and becomes the perfect one-stop-shop to transition from injuries back to exercise. Robbi and Matt are a great duo and seemlessly integrate their expertise in the rehabilitation and high-performance athletic training world for the success of the client's treatment. After your session, hop on the recovery pumps!

The therapists: 10/10. Robbi Basran has been treating me for a couple years now and the progress we have made is phenomenal. I have 100% confidence in his abilities and approaches to treatment. He thinks creatively and actually takes genuine time to understand what pain or issues you are facing. I’ve seen many Physio’s over the years, and Robbi is my # 1.

The facility: It is a new kid on the block, but the therapists and staff bring a wealth of experience from what they have learned in previous practises. The building is gently divided into 2 main sections: treatment area & rehabilitation gym. The equipment is new and fresh. The treatment tables are so comfy you could nap on them. It is spacious and fresh.

Overall: I am thrilled to be a patient at East Van Sports Rehab, and I can’t wait to see how they grow and develop over the years. Many great things ahead for this team.

Thanks guys!

Nice facilities and great staff there. Has everything you need and ask for in all in one place. From the strength and conditioning equipment to the artificial turf, this place has all the necessities you need to fully recover.

Robbi was very informative in helping me with my ACL rehab. He is very knowledgeable and definitely would recommend him if anyone needs a physiotherapist!

Had my first appointment today and feel great, the team over EVSRC were quick to recognize the areas I needed to target and work on. Since hitting 30 I have been barraged by injuries, looking forward to work with the team to condition me for an injury free year of soccer ahead. Top facilities and specialists. See you next week!

Robbi is the absolute MAN! As a powerlifter/athlete, he is my go to guy for any time I have some tweaks.

He does an amazing job of combining evidence based practice with his experience with working with athletes and general population alike which gives me lots of takeaways from each session.

On top of that, the new clinic at East Van rehab is a gorgeous facility and very very well equipped.

If you're feeling banged up, give these guys a shout. You won't regret it.

Robbi has been fantastic with helping me recover from a dislocated shoulder. He is fully attentive when providing treatment and the exercise protocol he prescribed effectively addressed my concerns around shoulder mobility and stability.

The newly-opened facility is the most well-equipped physio clinic I have been to. It is definitely professional-grade and designed to meet the needs of serious athletes.

A really nice, new and big space with many services. I received physio treatment from Robbi for an ankle issue and the sessions I had with him were very helpful for my recovery. I would highly recommend this clinic, and Robbi as a physio, to anyone.

Being in the health and wellness industry for over 10 years, I've never experienced a more enriching and welcoming environment than EVSRC. With their knowledge, exceptional customer service and vibrant environment-it's no doubt that they will excel into being the top sports and rehab clinic within the lower mainland.

The staff are highly educated and provide clients with that extra ounce of motivation and drive to get them where they want to physically be. With offering both rehabilitation services and full-body functional conditioning- the potential to reach your goals is all under one roof. The convenience is bliss.

Thank you Robbi for your solid physiotherapy and advising on my ACL injury and to Matt for the endless functional exercises that allow me to continue my endless physical hobbies!
