Symmetrix Exercise & Rehab

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dasha at both the downtown and Burnaby location to address persistent back issues, and I can't express enough gratitude for the incredible help I received.

From the very first session, Dasha demonstrated a profound understanding of my back problems, asked pertinent questions about my lifestyle and goals, and devised a personalized treatment plan that incorporated targeted exercises. What truly sets her apart is her ability to explain the underlying causes of my discomfort and educate me on exercises that I was completely unaware of.

I'm delighted to report that thanks to Dasha's expertise, my back pain has significantly diminished. The improvement is not just physical; it has positively impacted my overall well-being and daily life:)

The clinic is a welcoming enviroment, and there are Sunday activities that promote health benefits (like hikes and heat/cold therapy).

I had an amazing and very pleasurable experience working with Dasha. She is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to really learn more about my goals and personalized the entire consultation and her advice to help me reach my goals. She really knows her stuff, and was able to pinpoint possible causes of my squat issues, while providing me with practical exercises to assist with it. I would highly recommend Dasha and the Symmetrix Team!

Excellent facility, clean, friendly staff and well run. Small so you don't worry about any overcrowding and just the right equipment for every purpose. All trainers are well trained and great to work with.

Dasha was amazingly thorough in locating my issue (glutes/piriformis) and helped me strengthen my muscles making the issue a more manageable one.

I had an initial assessment at the clinic with Dasha that was both informative and got me excited to work on certain exercises to optimize my physical health. This was followed up by a personalized to my own gym with a work out designed especially for me. This was exactly what what I needed! Thank you.

Patrik gave me exactly what I needed - a great assessment of where my body could use help, easy and effective exercises to incorporate into my workouts, and great advice to support my body ongoing - a fantastic body reset.

Personally made rehab programmes to your own health issues and needs. They are very good at finding alternative ways of exercising an area if initially one way is too difficult. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. My strength and stability has improved a lot since working with my Kinesiologists and highly recommend them.

I had such a lovely experience, by contacting Kent MacWilliam for an issue I was having with my neck. Patrick, one of the kinesiologists there was able to guide me through some home workouts to help with the neck tension/strain. Overall - great service!

I found the staff friendly and knowledgeable; they are helping me greatly with recovering from my injury. Work out room is clean and bright plus it is easy to park.

Went to Symmetrix for post motor vehicle accident recovery. The staff was very accommodating and thorough during the whole process. Goals for the recovery were set and during the appointments we worked together to achieve those goals!

Curtis has been a huge help in the process!

Curtis Hutson was my kinesiologist and he was amazing! I have done five sessions so far and feel almost completely rehabilitated. I would refer friends and family to go here

I had broken my ankle over a year ago, and once I finished physio, I feared I would never be able to compete fully again. Always thinking about the leg, always tiring quicker before, have pain faster than before. Since working with Symmetrix, they've really been able to fill in those little gaps, that exercising on my own just couldn't fill. It's been an absolute joy working out there and I can't wait to hit the slopes this year.

I have loved training with Dash and the team at Symmetrix. My knee has not felt this strong with squatting and hiking in a long time. With the program they have created for me I am able to utilize the equipment that I have at home in between my visits to Symmetrix. Thank you!

We’ve been doing a combination of online and park workouts with Sioban for the last year. Her flexibility making sure we could workout regardless of when and where as well as dragging weights to the park so we could change up our routine has been greatly appreciated. I hate the Ickey shuffle, but still would recommend.
PS if you find yourself doing a Cobra Kai…. You’re welcome!

I rarely give reviews but I will give this one as it might save someone the pain and expense I've had to deal with for the last few years. I tried a few practitioners regarding some older injuries but there was little or no improvement, even after 10 months. My practitioner at Symmetrix adjusts each session as I need and no two sessions are the same. She has even given me a program to do in my gym. The owner has even called me to follow up and make sure I am happy with the service there. I feel I am really making progress now and I couldn't be happier at Symmetrix.

Hi, My name is Souad
l have been going to Symmetrix Exercise and Rehab from 2017
after a very bad car accident, before that l have been seeing many Physiotherapists, Massage therapists and even an acupuncturist, but still having this terrible pain all over my neck and my back
Anyway, just want to share with you how Dasha could help me, she was the only one, l felt who really was working from her heart, making sure that l am doing my exercises correctly and properly, and supporting me all those years,
She was always trying to find good exercises to make this pain and soreness go away, working very hard each session together, with her sweet encouragement,
not sure that to add, but l can't really thank her enough
I am lucky to had a chance to work with her and to know her as a kind person who really care for her patients
l really commander her,
Dasha, l always told you that you are the best and for me you are still the best
Good luck

Excellent rehabilitation facility. I have been working with Chris and his knowledge and experience is excellent. Chris has experience with rehabilitation that I have not seen with other practitioners. He is doing the job of a physiotherapist and kinesiologist and the results are dramatic. Highly recommended

Have been impressed from the initial phone consultation with Kent, one of the owners to the weekly sessions with Lydia Rose, the kinesiologist that I see. Professional, knowledgeable, personal and exacting. On task with high expectations. I have many rehabilitation issues and have made progress beyond what I had hoped. The best money I have spent in a long time. Highly highly recommend

My son had a frature to his leg and was in a cast for 3 months, Curtis at Symmetrix rehabiliated him back to running and playing soccer again competively. Curtis was super knowledgeable and awesome to work with, my son who is 14 loved his workouts and was happy to be back on the field quickly. I recomment Symmetrix for anyone who is coming back from an injury but also just to stay in top shape.

Best rehab experience I 've had since my MVA in 2016. Anais, my kinesiologist is very knowledgable and fun to work with. I highly recommend it.

Have been with Symmetrix for a while not-1st as a water therapy patient with Dasha and now doing training with Siobhan. Both my experiences have been fantastic. They take the time to ensure you are at the right level, provide great guidance and also challenge you. Great company and great people!

Chris N.is a great addition to Symmetrix, as a Kinesiologist, he is very supportive and effective in his guidance for my active rehabilitation.

Thanks Chris N.

I arranged for a home ergonomics session with Symmetrix for my organization in October 2020 and the session fully exceeded my expectations.

The event was held over Zoom and participants were able to watch Dasha's presentation while following along with making adjustments to their home office setups in real-time. The stretching demonstration was also very enjoyable. We also really appreciated the Q&A session where Dasha patiently answered all of our questions on how to be more ergonomic while working remotely from home!

Dasha from Symmetrix delivered an interesting and engaging Ergonomics at Home Workshop. It was very useful for our team members since we are all working from home at the moment. Dasha answered our questions and provided us with the exercises to practice.

Symmetrix Vancouver has a great clean facility and awesome people. I saw Lydia-Rose after my car accident and not only was the exercise program helpful in strengthening my body post accident, I also learned a lot about my body and pain management. Even during COVID, we managed to work out together via Zoom despite the limitations.

I decided to try Kinesiology after struggling to see progress following years of Physiotherapy for a chronic foot injury. I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with Dasha, and am starting to see progress - hurrah! I’d highly recommend the team at Symmetrix to anyone looking to improve the way they move in 2021:)

Symmetrix is everything a place of healing and improving should be: clean facility, more than adequate equipment, limit of 4 people on two floors, friendly caring and extremely professional staff. Everyone who has helped me has pinpointed exactly what is needed to strengthen and heal my particular problem areas and for that I’m very grateful. Many thanks. The friendly atmosphere is an added bonus! Happy New Year (and perhaps a better one.)

I have been going to Symmetrix in Yaletown for personal training for more than ten years. During that time they have also helped me through a few sports injuries. I have worked with a number of different kinesiologists over the years and they have always been friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. They also have a nice private facility with a good variety of equipment. The owners are great and are actively involved in the business, and very responsive to any suggestions or concerns. Their protocols during COVID have been excellent with both in-person and on-line training. I would recommend Symmetrix to anyone who wants to work on their fitness or physical rehabilitation.

Kinesiology sessions have been one of the best things in my life over the past six months. I've seen both Arissa and Dasha at Symmetrix and both are super professionals who teach me the in's and out's of anatomy while exercising. I originally went due to neck/shoulder pain, but also came away with being stronger than ever!

I have worked with both the Owners of Symmetrix, Kent and Dasha, plus participated in several of their on-line stretching and exercise sessions with other trainers since COVID changed they way we operate. I can say with absolute confidence that Symmetrix offers some of the best in-person and online kinesiology, exercise and rehabilitation treatment available. Something that my 58 year old body truly appreciates. You can't go wrong with Symmetrix

All of the kinesiologists here are very knowledgeable and passionate. I would strongly recommend Symmetrix to anyone who is looking for some motivation and guidance towards achieving their fitness related goals. The facility is cleanly and has all the equipment necessary for a great session.

Dasha and the team at Symmetrix have created an atmosphere of "can" and "will" that fosters a healing environment like no other! Check them out.your recovery is in reach!

Symmetrix has been amazing in helping with a chronic pain journey following my second car accident. All team members I’ve worked with have been wonderful!

The space is welcoming and a positive atmosphere. They’ve also been great in being adaptable to zoom sessions, and putting the little equipment I have to great use, and providing workouts I can do in my own time.

I have trained with kins in a variety of settings, but what sets Symmetrix apart from other facilities (especially big box gyms) is that I know they truly care about my recovery, rather than just being another client on the books.

5 Stars for the Symmetrix Team.

I came to Symmetrix after 2 years of extreme back pain a long series of talking to different doctors. I worked with different trainers at Symmetrix and they are all amazing. Before going to Symmetrix, I had not worked out for 2 years, because I did not know what I could and could not do.

The most important lesson for me was, that – despite my back pain – I could still work out in a safe way and work on my fitness. With a lot of care and patience, we tried out different exercises and added only those to my home routine, that did not stress my back. I cherish this personalized approach that worked great for me and gave me confidence that I am doing something good for myself. In addition to being very professional and caring, the Symmetrix team is like a little family organizing side events such as a snow shoeing tour we did with a few clients and partners.

After a few months with Symmetrix, my trainer recommended to try out seeing a new Physio on the side. Turns out, the combination of working out with Symmetrix while seeing a Physio was exactly what I needed to get back on my feet (literally). Thank you so much Symmetrix! I am happy to report, that I am now pain free. This would have not been possible without the help of Symmetrix. I am really excited to continue to work on new fitness goals with Symmetrix in the future.

I have been taking a couple of oneline workshops to reduce stress and some online group stretching classes since Covid-19 and I couldn't be more happy with their offerings. It's great to work with a kinisiologist, who is far more educated than a personal trainer, and regulated. It's been super great because it adds some social components compared to video fitness classes, as I live alone. So good!
