Myodetox Kitsilano

Had a first RMT session with Eduardo today and it was fantastic. Loosened me right up and I feel great after a couple weeks of shoulder and back pain nagging me

Joye is a magician! He helped me solving the swimmers shoulder issue and the posture problems related to sitting job. I am extremely grateful since it is not an easy job to stretch and massage a whale like me:)

Really great experience and some instant healing. Looking forward to gaining more strength in my knee from my next physio sessions with Ryan.

The quality of care here is unparalleled in my experience. I have had ongoing knee and back problems for many years, and started seeing Jessica Wong and Julia Ostrowski this year in preparation for a 5 day hike through Patagonia. They both have an impressive breadth of knowledge to draw from, allowing them to quickly assess and apply exercise, massage, realignment, and dry needling as needed. Unlike many providers, they do not juggle between simultaneous appointments, and they will send you home with short exercise videos catered to your needs, on an easy to use app that logs your progress. I would highly recommend both of them to anyone looking for a physiotherapist or chiropractor that truly provides modern and effective treatment. In addition, the clinic has wonderful front desk staff and a nicely designed interior with a small gym for learning the exercises.

I'm also happy to report that the hike went well, thank you both so much!

Big difference after only one session with Jonathan! Very knowledgeable and pin points the issue with military precision!

Outstanding RMT service. Eduardo is pleasing and deals professionally. The clinic is clean and organized and has a good atmosphere. I have had two sessions with him, and he has been knowledgeable. I could tell he truly cared and was interested in getting me back to where I was before my accident. He’s easy to work with and did some myofascial work that was effective—looking forward to continuing treatment with him.

Eduardo is amazing, he immediately knew what was causing my pain. Super professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Julia is a pro. She will spot things that were under your nose for your whole life, all in under 60 minutes.

Great facility! In one session Nathan completely turned around my fears of having to cancel my upcoming marathon. I was having to cut back on training after my hamstrings were giving out in my long runs and through his treatment and assigned homework I am back on track. Definitely keeping Myodetox as a staple in my health marthon

I’ve been seeing Julia as my chiropractor for almost a year now and she is just the best!
Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, very warm and friendly, she has the most amazing sense of humour.
She has helped me so much with my back injury that’s left me so crippled I couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone walk for over three months.
She has literally helped me get back to walking and being able to exercising again which I thought would be impossible.
I may be in agonizing pain when going in to see her but I always leave feeling better and with a huge laugh or two.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor, no need to look any further because she is it!

Mixed feelings about writing a review because joe is already super booked, but I had such a good experience I felt inspired to share.

Jessica Wong @ Myodetox Kitsilano is an exceptional physiotherapist. Her warm, outgoing and fun demeanour makes you feel welcome right away. Jess is a true professional that is able to give you a thorough explanation of the root cause of bodily aches and pains, and improve your body's functional patterns long-term through an effective customised (and easy to do) physio program. Since I started working with Jess less than 2 months ago, I have noticed a significant difference in my posture and improvement in my athletic performance. Equipped with a much greater awareness of my body and how to move, my improved weight distribution throughout my body means I am able to push my body to new limits and to enjoy all my sports more. I would recommend Jess to anyone looking to relieve any aches, for injury rehab and recovery, and general maintenance of the body!

Jon was super knowledgeable and dedicated to my rehab. Super friendly staff with great insights. Will be back if/when needed. Would 10/10 recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Julia Ostrowski since August 14,2022. I have been dealing with issues related with mechanical back pain periodically for many years, mainly by putting band-aids on the issue (see ignoring). Julia very quickly assessed the main issue (my glutes had atrophied, essentially!) and helped me understand the importance that my glutes (bend your knees!) have on my overall ability to move better. I am not always the best patient (Y chromosome?), but Julia is able to meet me where I am, and is able to show me how I have improved. Here I am 4 months later and my back feels strong and I am moving so much better generally. I am headed off on a trip of a lifetime, now confident that even if I do have some issues while I am away, that I will be able to easily course correct.
I am so very grateful for Julia’s help and I will definitely be coming back in the Spring and plan on using chiro as part of my self-care regimen moving forward!

Great experience with Jon! I've been seeing Jon for awhile with various injuries and preventive maintenance. I am very happy with my experience. All the team is quite helpful and create a welcoming environment. Thank you!

Went to Myodetox Kits and saw physiotherapist Jessica Wong for help (severe impairment of range of motion of my right hip and pain)
With a mix of massage and exercise specifically for my problem, Jess got me back to
being very active playing sports again with range of motion and no PAIN!
Very Grateful!

I had a shoulder injury that left me unable to play hockey or golf. Jen did an amazing job figuring out the root cause of the issue and getting me on a plan that would get me back to 100%. After 5 weeks, I was back to normal, and able to play hockey and golf with no pain / discomfort.

Jen did an awesome job with choosing exercises to help rebuild the strength as well progressing them to where I was at in my recovery. She was super friendly and made the whole experience very easy.

In future, I would certainly go back with no hesitations.

Thank you very much to Myodetox Kitsilano for assisting me in getting back to my regular workout routine after a car accident. The time, knowledge, and expertise that Jen and her team shared has been invaluable to my recovery. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for physiotherapy, chiropractic or massage services in the Kits area.

Lauren is the best person to go to. My first time for physio and best experience. Will highly recommend for the fantastic experience.

Myodetox is great! Jonathan Kim helped me with physio for a torn calf muscle - I went from being unable to walk last summer to running the Sun Run this year and really appreciated his support and guidance through the treatment process. The staff are friendly and professional and their facility/equipment is top notch. Thanks so much!

I have had lower back pain for years and Jon has been very thorough in his investigation and diagnosis of the cause. He explains everything very carefully and takes his time. I never feel rushed in my appointments with him. I would recommend Myodetox and Jon Kim without hesitation.

Patrick had been very wonderful, caring and knowledgeable as a physiotherapist with treating my shoulder injury during a stressful time. I recommend his services to anyone who needs help with their injuries or physio needs.

I had an incredible experience at Myodetox Kits with Jessica Wong! She is incredibly kind-hearted and genuine with her care. I came in summer 2021 with ankle pain due to running. Jessica instantly knew the root cause of my problem after her initial assessment. She put me at ease with her delightful+friendly personality, educated me on the issue, and included all my goals in her treatment plan. Her manual therapy skills significantly reduced my pain which allowed me to do the exercises that would correct my imbalances and prevent the problem from happening again in the future. I went back to running after my first session and I have been pain-free for months now!

I have now returned with a chronic shoulder problem that I have tried correcting with no success. Once again, Jessica fixed me up after the first session with her top-tier assessment skills. Thank you Jessica + Myodetox reception for making the effort to develop such a kind and friendly atmosphere. Therapists also only see one patient at a time which means you're getting their undivided attention during your session. It made a big impact on my recovery and I would highly recommend your clinic to anyone looking to enjoy the journey of reaching their rehabilitation goals.

In my experience working with Lauren she is very thorough, empathetic and competent at what she does.

I've been seeing Jon for physiotherapy sessions to address a few different issues with my body, I really felt like I was in good hands. He was extremely approachable and personably, and kept my list of exercises to a reasonable length, which made it much easier to motivate myself to do them. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Jon, or Myodetox in the future.

Myodetox is not in my neighbourhood but I go there anyway. The quality of service is worth the drive.

I am so grateful for the work that Jess Wong has done for me on my road to recovery post car accident. As a professional golfer, the car accident has been a huge setback in my off-season training and she genuinely puts in the effort to ensure that I get back on track as soon as possible. She has given me confidence that I will be able to get back to my regular training from our weekly sessions and home exercises. The one thing that excites me about going in for treatment is her bubbly personality! I look forward to continuing to work with her until my full recovery!

I came to Jon in late October after developing chronic pain in both my wrists from overuse. As a student who depends on my wrists to type and write all the time, I was stressed about how I was going to manage the pain while keeping up with the demands of university. Fortunately, Jon was able to dial down the intensity of the pain, offer me strategies to work around my pain, and create a comprehensive treatment plan for me from Day 1. I looked forward to every visit, as Jon was always keen to answer my questions and help me understand why he used a certain modality or prescribed a specific exercise! What I appreciate most about Jon is his sense of empathy and how he understood how frustrating my injury was to me. Jon constantly reassured me that my body is stronger than I think and that I wasn’t going to cause further damage by using my wrists–two sayings that have helped me stay motivated and trust the process! I am approaching 8 weeks since starting treatment with Jon, and I am happy to say that my pain levels have diminished significantly and my wrists feel a lot stronger! Huge thank you to Jon for supporting me throughout my recovery. With his strong clinical and interpersonal skills, I’d highly recommend anyone to Jon for all their physio needs! Also, thank you to all the Myodetox admins for being so welcoming, kind, and efficient every visit:)

Due to covid 19, I booked a telehealth session with Jonathan Kim. I could not stand up straight or walk without pain due to over zealous gardening a few days before. After doing some diagnostic tests and guided movements, I was able to stand up and walk pain free. I was given some links for strengthening exercises and tips to prevent further injury Thank you Jonathan! Good to be mobile again.

Myodetox Kits is fantastic! The space is great. Lots of room for rehab and exercises. My physiotherapist, Jen Yau, is awesome! I feel great every time I leave the clinic. Super helpful in my recovery. Would highly, highly recommend MyoKits!

Jon is by far the best and most thorough Physio I have ever been to, and I've been to a lot! He is so enthusiastic and genuinely cares about finding the treatment plan that works best for his patients. Even though he is quite new to the practice, Jon is very knowledgeable and looks at injuries/imbalances from a full body perspective which is very helpful to becoming stronger as a whole. It's always a good time with Jon!

I've been working with Jen Yau for almost 2 years now and I don't have the words to describe how beneficial being a client of her's has been. I play rugby and the sport has been so demanding on my body. Myodetox's approach to physical therapy has been life changing for me. Not only has working with Jen helped me treat past injuries, I've learned how to better train my body to perform better as an athlete and prevent future recurring injuries. She's been such a positive influence in my health, physically and mentally. To Jen and the Myodetox Kits team, thank you for all that you do.

I began seeing Jon Kim for physiotherapy when Myodetox was offering virtual sessions, and continued to see him in person at the clinic after the social distancing orders were lifted. Jon is a very attentive and capable physiotherapist and has helped me immensely with muscle soreness and tightness, as well as identifying areas of improvement for my movements.

I am very happy with my experience at Myodetox Kitsilano. I worked closely with Jessica for the last 3 months doing both virtual and in-person sessions for my lower back and hip pain, which I have had for over 2 years. I loved her positivity and beaming energy at all our sessions. She was such a sense of motivation for me! Her hands-on treatment and rehab/ exercise plan was very effective, and I was always impressed with her knowledge and expertise. The pain in my lower back and hips have decreased over the last 3 months and I am very satisfied with the progress. Thank you so much Jessica, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with! My body and I can't thank you enough for giving us hope again with our road to recovery!

Highly recommend Myodetox. I’ve been working with Jon Kim from the Kitsilano location. He’s approachable and provides a comfortable environment to seek treatment, ask questions and get educated. We started in studio with an assessment after I came in with a painful muscle spasm behind my knee. He was attentive and tailored my program & exercises to the activities I do (hiking, biking, boxing, running, Strength & conditioning), the capacity I do them at and the areas of my body that needed strengthening and “rewiring” to rehabilitate for the long term.

Myodetox in person sessions & videos of how perform the prescribed exercises gave me the basis to get started. Covid hit and they quickly responded with consistent complimentary sessions which I’m thankful for the studio and Jon for. I’ve been able to address muscle tightness in the immediate, how to utilize dynamic mobility exercises for warm ups as well as stretching & recovery. I have also developed a better mind/body connection and physically increased my mobility and speed while running.

Very clean facility. Professional staff. Have been very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend anyone to see Jon and the team at Myodetox.

This place is immaculate, and it's not just because it's new. The staff are very warm and welcoming and you can tell they're doing everything they can to protect their staff / patrons during covid but without losing the Myodetox experience! My physiotherapist Kristine is the best - she is so knowledgeable and was able to pinpoint the source of the pain in my shoulder right away. I've been to 2 different physio clinics before coming here and she's the first person who gave me the appropriate treatment to get rid of the pain. If you're looking for a good physio and for a reasonable price, go see Kristine. She even does virtual sessions!

I have been doing CrossFit for 5 years and have seen many different physiotherapists. The physiotherapists at Myodetox Kitsilano have been by far the most helpful. They have helped provide relief to the muscles surrounding my shoulders and given me drills/exercises to keep them limber.

The interior space is also top notch. They probably have some of the nicest bathrooms in Vancouver. There are also lockers with space for you to secure bag and charge your phone.

Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for physiotherapy in Vancouver!

This was my first time trying out Myodetox and I absolutely loved it. Jessica was very knowledgeable and provided in gym exercises combined with on the table releasing techniques to rehab my shoulder. I wish something like this was offered in Victoria, BC but I will definitely be back when in town again.

I have been going to Jessica for the past month and definitely already feel a difference. She’s also just an amazing person and I love my check ups with her. She explains everything in thorough detail for me and gives me all the information I need. The space is also so aesthetically pleasing if that appeals to anyone haha. Definitely recommend checking them out!

I have the left knee of a post 2nd ACL injury Derrick Rose and thus went to see Jonathan Kim. He performed manual therapy on me and immediately helped me relieved most of the subpatellar pain I was experiencing. Furthermore, he showed me better pre-exercise warm-ups along with additional stress loading movements to improve stability in my leg. Very much enjoyed my visit here, solid 12/10.

I've recommended this place to all of my coworkers.

My physiotherapist Jon has been wonderful and I can't say enough about how knowledgeable he is when it comes to injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Definitely a standout clinic with people who care about your progress and want you to get better (even if that means you'll stop coming/giving them revenue). This is something I haven't found at other clinics, where I felt like the physiotherapists held back and wanted to prolong my treatment plan.

I arrived at Myodetox and my physiotherapist, Jennifer Yau, with a serious undiagnosed shoulder problem and a significant health need to get back to strength training. Within 15 minutes of my first session with Jennifer, the problem had been correctly diagnosed and within another 15 minutes I had been provided with what turned out to be an accurate prognosis and a plan for treatment. Jennifer is very well trained, very intelligent, fun, and with a real concern for her clients’ well being. I am healed. The care and the conversation were superb. Jennifer and Myodetox have my highest recommendation. Kitsilano; you are very lucky to have Jennifer and her team!

I went to go see Jonathan for my hip and knee. Needless to say, Jon was amazing. He was incredibly thorough, professional, and competent in his skills. I especially appreciated the take-home exercises that Jon provided for me. I left the clinic feeling better and more confident. Overall, the experience and treatment was 5/5 and I would highly recommend Jon to anyone.
