Dockside Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne, thanks so much for all your help! I'm confident that without your help and expertise, my hip and back recovery would not have been anywhere near as quick as was possible with your help. With all due respect, I hope that I won't be needing your wonderful services again; but should it come up I know exactly where I will be going for my physiotherapy needs.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend dockside physiotherapy! The environment is warm and welcoming and the staff are kind, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Fantastic experience: The best! I've seen Nina and Bruce and they were both excellent. They fixed up my knee and should

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of receiving pelvic health services for an injury from a motor vehicle accident, and I am beyond grateful with the level of care I received from Cathy Stedman. The entire staff, from the receptionist to the physiotherapists, were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Cathy took the time to listen to my concerns and developed a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. She were very skilled at explaining my condition and exercises in a way that was easy to understand. After a few months of treatment, I noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and overall quality of life. I am so grateful to the team at Dockside Physiotherapy, especially Cathy for her expertise and dedication to my recovery. The clinic was clean and well-maintained, and the scheduling process was easy and convenient. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of physiotherapy services.

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne Levson has been a great help and encouragement during my 4 month rehab from a broken leg earlier this summer. She is thorough and engaged, remembers all the shifts and improvements from visit to visit, and expert at identifying the areas to work on at each stage of the process. The team too have always been super friendly, efficient and helpful. I could not recommend the whole Dockside experience more!

Fantastic experience: The whole experience was exceptional! Right from the warm and cheerful receptionist to the amazing MaryAnn! Mary-Ann was knowledgeable and professional. Her approach was gentle and effective. She was able to address my issues and and gave me clear instruction on moving forward with my hip concerns. I highly recommend this Physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: This is a solid clinic. Mary-Anne is an excellent physio and has made an amazing impact on my life. Who knew that my leg pain was just referred from my back! The work magic here. The operation is professional and quick. I appreciate how it's headache-free.

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne was great. She took her time to treat my injury. Front office staff were enthusiastic. Very positive environment.

Fantastic experience: The thumb on my "fret hand" had become very sore... to the point of seriously inhibited guitar playing (depressing at only 62 yo). While I've tried several so-called "remediating measures", none succeeded. I finally went to Dockside and was given a set of exercises to try. Based on prior experiences, I assumed they would yield nothing. I was wrong... to my great surprise they've helped immensely! Movement is still a bit limited, but pain has been attenuated much.

Fantastic experience: Was having some leg strain issues from riding my bike all the time. Had a bike fitting appointment with Evan. He made several adjustment to my bike and gave me some tips on how to ride more ergonomically. Haven't had any issues with my body since but the bike, well...

Fantastic experience: Went in because of a shoulder injury that was not healing on its own. Jeremy assessed the injury and offered a selection of exercises to help it recover. Following his instructions I recovered fully and have been enjoying several months pain free and with full range of motion. During the appointment he was personable and professional, putting me at ease through the process. All around a very positive experienc

Fantastic experience: I hade a bike fit at Dockside with Jeremy Lynn. Jeremy was great at explains what he was doing and we got the bike set up properly for me. I have since transferred these settings to my second bike and have put on over 1000 km since the bike fit. Happy riding again without the aches and pains and numb hands I used to get. If anyone is interested in getting their bike set up correctly I highly recommend dockside Physio. I will be going there for any other Physio requirements if they should arise.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy is fabulous in so many ways. Cathy and Evan are so caring and really work hard to help and accommodate their clients. I was referred to Cathy through my personal trainer and she helped me immensely with my shoulder injury. Since then I followed her from her previous clinic in Esquimalt and I am so happy to continue seeing her at Dockside, which is so accessible from downtown and easy to find parking. I feel so comfortable and confident with Dockside that I am continuing physiotherapy with them for pelvic challenges and arthritis.

Fantastic experience: Evan provided me with a great bike fit. It really helped during races as I always felt comfortable and had no soreness. The run after the bike was more comfortable because of the bike fit. Best investment you can make to ensure you enjoy cycling for a long tim

Fantastic experience: Great clinic with friendly and relaxed staff. Nina Bai has been treating my daughter for chronic dizziness and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is clearly very knowledgeable and her warm demeanor has made our visits stress free. Greatly recommend you see her for physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dockside Physiotherapy regularly for almost three months and working closely with Mary-Anne recovering from a back injury. It has been a great experience and I really value the entire team's professionalism and kindness as well as the great facilities. Thank you Dockside team.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Front desk staff were very helpful with the insurance stuff. Great reminders and pre appt check in communications. Evan got my very pain shoulder (rotary cuff) working with great treatments and simple follow up exercises. Great location and overall rating. If you need physio get it here!

Fantastic experience: I worked with physiotherapist Chris Lamb, and he was terrific! He is very knowledgeable and skilled in his profession. We discussed my pain issues and goals, and he developed an exercise program that really worked for me. He really set me up to succeed, and I am very pleased with the progress I have made and continue to make. Thanks so much Chris!

Fantastic experience: Dockside physio was built with a clear focus on the responsibility to the environment and Evan and Cathy have carried this responsibility forward to care for their clients. They are kind, thorough and fun. I highly recommend visiting the clinic for your physio needs.

Fantastic experience: My son and I have both been here for injury and pain issues. My son is a competitive hockey player and received excellent and informative treatment and injury prevention. I saw Evan for my pain difficulties and he is thorough and dedicated to solving the problem for you. I’d been to multiple places to try and find my issue and Evan had solutions after the first visit. Highly recommend dockside physi

Fantastic experience: I saw Cathy on and off for a couple of years after a car accident. Not only did her professional services help me greatly with a long recovery, she was flexible and often went beyond the appointment time to finish her treatment. From ease of access to cheerful office staff, I can recommend Dockside Physio with five

Fantastic experience: Two years ago, Evan helped me recover from a badly sprained ankle, an injury that is notorious for recurring if not rehabilitated properly. I am so glad to say that my ankles are both stronger than ever due to the treatment and exercises Evan provided me with. If I have another injury, Dockside will be my first stop!

Fantastic experience: I went to Dockside Physiotherapy after tearing two tendons in my rotator cuff. Evan was fantastic, very knowledgeable and creative at customizing exercises to help me regain my lost mobility and strength. I particularly appreciate that he understood I couldn't afford a lengthy course of treatment and was willing to teach me exercises to do at home and let me check back in when I could. After a few months I was virtually pain free, and my shoulder had improved so much that an orthopedic surgeon told me there was no point in operating, the physio had made it as good as it could get. So thanks and high-fives (which I can actually do now!) to Evan and the other Dockside folks. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Cathy for years and she has helped me work through numerous injuries and discomforts. From a robust recovery program after a car accident, to getting me back on track to run an half marathon after I had torn my meniscus, to postpartum recovery - Cathy is full of knowledge and is always quick and professional when diagnosing an issue and coming up with a plan to heal. The office itself is open, spacious, and comfortable while having a focus on positive environmental impacts and inclusivity - would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I saw both Evan and Chris in my time being a patient to dockside clinic and they were absolutely amazing to work with. The practitioners here go above and beyond to help you in every realm you made need, while keeping you educated and motivated without loosing hope. I appreciate how they view the whole body as a dynamic system versus just treating your shoulder. This will forever be my favourite clinic and it should be yours t

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at Dockside Physiotherapy. Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent clinic, very clean, staff is friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs physio.

Fantastic experience: Evan is an outstanding, knowledgeable practitioner, who takes the time to listen and assess. It is truly a partner relationship. The front desk staff is happy, friendly and helpful. The space is beautiful and super clean with lots of light.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physio is one of our go to referral partners for UC Life. I met Evan just around the time that they opened Dockside and have been grateful to have them in the neighbourhood ever since. Evan and I have co-managed many cases over the years and I’ve been a patient of his for a shoulder injury as well. He’s the ultimate professional and not only did he solve my shoulder issues but he and others are Dockside have gotten rave reviews from our community of patients. I always feel confident sending referrals to Dockside and feel that they are a very trustworthy source for information and treatment. Dr Matthew Kittleson

Fantastic experience: I visited Dockside Physiotherapy on a work trip (pre-covid times) for a last minute appointment to work on healing after breaking my ankle. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and my practitioner was knowledgeable and hands on. My experience was great and I would likely have made them my regular physio had I lived in the area.

Fantastic experience: Evan Thomas was an excellent physio in that he listened carefully to my symptoms, and then walked me through several treatments that turned out to be very effective. I felt as though I had been “heard.” He also provided several exercises that I could do at home to strengthen and rehabilitate. Overall, even in the middle of a pandemic, I was able to get the help I needed and felt as though I was truly cared for.

Fantastic experience: I met Evan and the team at Dockside Physio pre-spinal surgery and continued my therapy with them post surgery. I’ve received therapy from other physiotherapists prior to meeting Evan, however I’ve never connected with my therapists. It’s not easy to find the right person to help you when you’re dealing with physical pains or recalibrating your health. So finding the right person to help you navigate your journey is crucial. Evan is a great listener and also well versed in his practice. My treatments never felt like a cookie cutter solution. I felt better each time I visited the clinic and left with more knowledge and simple exercises that really worked for me. Having a great coach pre and post surgery and following Dockside’s exercises have kelp me healthy and injury free.

Fantastic experience: I feel so very lucky to have crossed paths with Chris Lamb! Not only because he is such an exceptional physiotherapist, but also because he is such a kind, caring and sincere human being. I have seen Chris for a number of issues over the last few years, and I am always so impressed with his extent of knowledge and his ability to think completely outside the box. He is always learning and applying this knowledge to his practice; he's even doing some teaching! Chris has a very unique approach, he takes more time, and he follows up...I would recommend him 1000%

Fantastic experience: Cathy was amazing! She was there for me at the beginning of Covid. It was impossible to find a Physio in person and Dockside was ahead of the curve and up and running online. She gave me fantastic support and advice via Zoom and was extremely personable. I would highly recommend her and Dockside Physio.

Fantastic experience: Some great and intense physio combined with some advise on posture adjustments helped resolve my elbow issue ins fairly short amount of time. Evan was patient, but most importantly listened to what the issues were. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have known Evan for a long time and he is an great guy and an even better physiotherapist. I have had neck and back issues and he has always helped me manage these injuries and comes up with new ways to help prevent further pain and discomfort. He doesn't automatically resort to the generic, traditional methods of physio because he tries to understand your unique body and create a treatment/program that works for you and your ailment, not others. Highly recommend him or anyone within his office!

Fantastic experience: I went soon after Dockside Physio opened b/c I lived and worked by them. I also liked what they stand and how important community is to them. Evan is awesome...professional, listens (and remembers), and being active himself, he understands things from an exercise physiology standpoint as well as a physical anatomy view...which is important for me. I haven't needed his services for a while but will go out of my way to recommend him and his clinic to anyone I cross paths with. And I understand he has assembled quite the team there over the past couple year and he's able to branch out and offer services and specialties he wasn't able to offer when he was first starting out. I cannot recommend highly enough and feel very lucky that him and his team are in Vic West like me!

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy is absolutely amazing in every way. I have had the pleasure of working with Evan. Evan is super knowledgeable, kind, professional and assisted my healing journey profoundly, with his broad range of expertise, experience and kind, caring manner. I highly recommend this establishment and team to help you heal/recover to be your best self.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful physio experience with Mary-ann. I had a knee issue that I had been putting off fixing for over a year (hoping it would heal on its own). I finally booked an appointment and I'm so glad I did! With only two appointments and consistency with Mary-ann's exercises, I'm back to hiking and jogging without knee pain. I highly recommend Dockside!

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend coming to Evan for a bike fit! Exceptional service - both reception and Evan!!! Amazing attention, concern, and thought involved in all changes made to my bike. Evan thoroughly explained everything and was incredibly personable. Absolute 10/10 experience, I will be returning for all my future bike fit/bike physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I first came to Dockside due to an episode of Vertigo. Evan is specifically trained to assess and treat this condition and was caring, professional and fully resolved the issue in two treatments. I have since consulted with Evan for other reasons and have found him to be very knowledgeable and encouraging. His team are friendly and professional and I have recommended them to several in my circle who have also had a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Evan for a BikeFit secondary to some back pain and paresthesia in my hands. He is simply excellent. His knowledge and ability to relate cycling biomechanics and injury prevention is unparalleled from what I’ve experienced. The clinic is a welcoming place and logistically runs smoothly. They’re on time and paperwork/billing was easy. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dockside Physio. I picked them simply for their location close to me when I had lower back pain after a bad fall and it turned out to be a great pick. Evan was thorough in his questioning and figuring out my situation and how to help. Thumbs up from me!

Fantastic experience: I came to Dockside after a car accident. I cannot say enough great things about the clinic and Evan! I always felt Evan listened and addressed all of my problems and made suggestions to support my healing. The admin staff was great! I 100% recommend this clinic!

Fantastic experience: Evan has been practically a miracle work whenever I've needed treatment. He takes the time to really analyze what's wrong and zero in on the problem as well as formulating a series of stretches and exercises to alleviate the issue. I'm very happy with the level of service he provides and recommend him highly.

Fantastic experience: Evan is so nice and very knowledgeable. I have had quite a few issues lately with running, tennis and paddling in an Oc1 a lot and there is nothing he can't help me fix!! Highly recommend him and glad my friend recommended Evan and Dockside to me.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy was amazing and helped me out a lot when I had neck surgery. Evan was great and patient with all my questions and provided me exercises that targeted my needs perfectly. The whole team are super friendly and welcoming. Always felt comfortable would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a physiotherapist. Thank you, keep up the good work!!

Fantastic experience: I sustained a fall in June 2020 and needed radial head replacement surgery, after which, I became a regular client at Dockside for about 10 weeks. I am so happy that I chose this group to work with and recommend them 100%. They are highly skilled professionals, intuitive in their delivery of client-based needs and compassionate to the process of rehabilitation. I left every session feeling inspired to work hard and achieve my weekly goals. Thank you Dockside Physiotherapy for being there and thank you Jeremy for your encouragement to succeed!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Cathy for a number of years and followed her to Dockside Physiotherapy. The clinic not only offers a wide range of services with very knowledgeable staff, it also is a clean and relaxed space that makes you feel welcomed and part of the gang. I enjoy the family feel, professionalism of all the staff and never feeling rushed. I highly recommend Cathy and the gang to help you on your road to recovery. Dockside Physiotherapy should be your first choice if you want to be well taken care of!

Fantastic experience: I was a patient at Dockside Physio from November 2018 until just recently. During that time I was treated by Evan. We worked together on a plan to maximize my healing. I had superb care and Evan was knowlegable and had a great sense of humour. I got very good results at Dockside Physio and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Evan and Dockside Physio.

Fantastic experience: I love coming here! The clinic is bright and clean, with spacious treatment rooms and plenty of free parking. Evan has been really great. He's easy to talk to, friendly and super knowledgable. Appointments with him are always thorough, and I never leave feeling rushed.
