Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Restore Physiotherapy:
Unwavering commitment to personalized, one-on-one care
Restore Physiotherapy distinguishes itself by offering a focused, private setting where patients receive undivided attention. Unlike traditional clinics that may juggle multiple rooms, the therapists here prioritize deep listening and comprehensive assessments. Patients frequently highlight that their physiotherapists spend the entire appointment working exclusively with them, analyzing problems thoroughly before implementing tailored solutions. This approach creates a partnership for health, where the education of self-care is just as important as the treatment itself.
A diverse team of specialized experts
The clinic boasts a roster of highly skilled professionals, each recognized for specific strengths in recovery and chronic pain management. Patients have praised therapists like Nadine for her expertise in sports injuries and chronic conditions, Marta for her compassionate care and follow-up emails, Lindsay for her humor and efficiency, and Alex for her skill with dry needling. The team’s combined knowledge spans from post-surgical rehabilitation to complex neurological issues, ensuring that regardless of the patient's specific challenge, there is an expert to guide their recovery.
Effective techniques and comprehensive support
Patients consistently report positive results from a blend of manual therapy, Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), and targeted exercise prescription. The use of IMS and dry needling is noted for providing significant relief, particularly for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and acute injuries. Beyond the physical treatment, the clinic provides exceptional aftercare support. Therapists are commended for sending detailed emails with diagrams and exercise routines after each session, ensuring patients can safely practice their 'homework' at home. This rigorous follow-up system helps bridge the gap between clinic visits and long-term independence.
Tranquil environment and attentive service
The patient experience is further enhanced by the clinic’s clean, quiet, and professional atmosphere. Located in an accessible area with ample parking, the clinic offers a serene environment conducive to healing. From the friendly front desk staff to the therapists who explain every step of the process, the overall experience is described as welcoming and non-judgmental. Patients feel heard and respected, often noting that they look forward to their appointments rather than viewing them as a chore.

Fantastic experience: Great physio. Very caring . She focuses on you during the appointment not 4 other rooms on the go. Office is very clean. She gets great results with everyone I have referred to her.

Fantastic experience: This clinic is amazing. They have stellar therapists. I have been a client at this clinic for a number of years. It doesn't matter what is happening for me, I always feel listened to and never feel judged. As a very active person im often addressing different challenges and my physios are always there to support me. Ive been to other clinics in New West but this is the best.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional staff.
Fantastic experience: Marta is fantastic! It feels like a partnered learning journey to good physical health in the long term.
Fantastic experience: Alex is a wonderful physiotherapist. My experience of her is: she listens to the issues I present, she follows my description by listening through her hands, uses IMS, which I find to be a wonderful tool, recommends exercises so that I can help myself… Bottom line - I trust what she knows and she has helped me.
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and thorough. Clear instructions to follow and is interested in your well being.
Fantastic experience: Consistently helpful, friendly & effective! Marta & the rest of the team are great!
Fantastic experience: Marta at Restore Physiotherapy is hands down the best physiotherapist I have ever dealt with! She is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I really appreciate that she devotes the entire appointment time working with only me. She analyses the problems, then focuses on the necessary exercises and solutions to ease the aches and pains and build my strength. It is also really helpful that she follows up with a detailed email outlining the exercises that were covered at each appointment so I can easily remember the proper mechanics of each one at home. I am so grateful for her expertise and how I always feel so much better after my appointments with her.
Fantastic experience: It is a pleasure dealing with Alex, she is professional, friendly and knowledgeable in my recovery from TRKR. She takes the time to explain things and to ensure that I am comfortable with all new exercises.
Fantastic experience: May Ly is an expert in post-surgery & post-cancer treatment breast care!! She has helped me in so many ways after my cancer treatment. From recommending I look into Inspire Health Vancouver (for post cancer support), to suggesting I try Pilates (for my hypermobility). She has helped me immensely with the proper care of the lymphedema in my upper arm (result of lymph node biospy and radiation treatment). Manual drainage techniques and who to see about compression sleeves. I love seeing May and getting her expert opinion on which part of me is hurting that week and how to make it stop hurting lol I'm so thankful I found her and I couldn't ask for a better physiotherapist!! She's the best!!
Fantastic experience: Alex is professional and very organized.
Fantastic experience: Staff member started the treatment on time and did not rush through. She also explained what she was doing and always asked if I was feeling OK. She is a very professional staffer.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay at Restore Physiotherapy is fantastic. She is knowledgeable, kind and efficient. With a combination of IMS and manual release she's able to give me so much relief during my appointments. Lindsay always impresses me with the variety of rehab exercises and ways to manipulate the body. Lindsay is a wonderful physiotherapist.
Negative experience: Had an appointment with Alex, though she helped me, the after support was pathetic . Once they grab your money you are forgotten , contacted their office, emailed her with my queries but no answers. Beware of them. There are many physiotherapist who will look at the human perspective rather than just your money .
Fantastic experience: Alex is awesome! She’s super nice and was able to fix my back in just a few sessions after I injured it at hockey! She also gave me some great exercises to help strengthen the area and reduce inflammation, so I could get back out there! Thanks so much!! A+++
Fantastic experience: Lindsay McCaw is the physiotherapist I see and she is quite amazing indeed. I rate her as 5 stars but truly she is totally deserving of 10 stars. She is professional and friendly with an excellent sense of humor and she is welcoming as well as expert in her field of promoting wellness through physiotherapy. She is simply GREAT!!!
Fantastic experience: Marta really cares about your well being. She does a comprehensive assessment and treats all aspects of the injury. I can’t praise her enough and I feel lucky to have found her!
Fantastic experience: Lindsay is excellent, kind, considerate and most importantly patient. One the best I've ever worked with.
Fantastic experience: For the last 2 months Alexandra has been helping me by taking some of the pain away with dry needling. Consequently I could push harder and more comfortable on getting stronger doing the exercises recommended. My work days are not so draining anymore, and my recreational activities are less taxing pain wise. Alexandra is calculated and caring, listened to all my concerns and adjusted as needed to the changes and challenges that my injury presented her with.
Fantastic experience: The physiotherapy treatments I've been receiving at Restore Physiotherapy have helped improve and manage my chronic pain and stiffness. I am grateful for the professionalism, knowledge and kindness that I find at every appointment. Today my expert physiotherapist tried something new for me: the Gunn IMS Intramuscular Stimulation. I can already feel positive results. Thank you, Marta!
Fantastic experience: May Ly is the most amazing lymphedema therapist you will ever find. I highly recommend her for manual lymph drainage. She is very professional and kind.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay is an accomplished and caring therapist. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Update: Alexandra Askey is caring for Nadine's patients while Nadine is away. Alex is also wonderful & I feel carries the same level of care & skill as Nadine. Nadine is a wonderful, skilled, caring physiotherapist & IMS/Dry needling practitioner. I've heard IMS can be painful, but she does it in a way that feels like/less than acupuncture. I'm very squeamish & fearful of needles, but got over it quickly with her because the results were so great & the discomfort was so little. She was able to treat my severe TMJ pain in 1 session. She's helped me with fibromyalgia pain, headaches, neck/back pain, foot pain, etc. I feel very lucky to have found Nadine!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Lindsay for a little over two years. She is remarkably competent and skillful with deep understanding of the mechanics of the pain. Lindsay is very efficient at relieving my chronic pains and readily offers explanations and physical exercises to practise at home. She is an excellent physiotherapist and I'm so grateful for all her help.
Fantastic experience: Best physio around. Nadine is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Shawn is amazing!! Easily the best physio experience I've ever had. He takes the time to explain things on a level I can understand, and never rushes me in or out the door. I highly recommend these guys!! They really know what's up!!
Fantastic experience: Nadine is the best physiotherapist I’ve ever dealt with, hands down. Her knowledge, the care she puts in her work, it shows. I can’t recommend her enough.
Fantastic experience: Great place to do your physio. Front desk receptionist is super friendly and professional. Will definitely recommend to friends and family alike.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Restore off and on for years. They are amazing and I recommend them with zero reservations!
Fantastic experience: I'm on the road to recovery after seeing Shawn at Restore Physio! I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who is looking for or needing a Physiotherapist. He definitely is attentive to your problems, and compassionate. He walks you through everything step by step with patients and knowledge which indicated to me his diagnosis and plan is tailored around your specific needs. He also emails your exercises right after your visit which you can follow along with on your phone or computer, which I found super valuable. He is really helpful throughout the whole rehabilitation process and looks to get you back to your status pre-injury. The clinic itself is clean and quiet with lots of parking. Heads up for first timers, take the elevator up to the clinic. The signs right by the elevator lobby will point you in the right direction.
Fantastic experience: I have had chronic back and neck problems for decades. Reduced to little exercise and periodic visits to my physio therapist for spasm release. I figured this was the rest of my life. I wanted to change physio therapists as I live in New West and he was in North Van so I started web searching. I found two I wanted to try. The first one I went to turned out to not have physio but chiropractics and Restore. Since I couldn't get into Restore for a month and I was in pain I booked three with the Chiro and one with Rachel at Restore. After three Chiropractic sessions I had little change but after the assessment with Rachel, exercises and one small adjustment I feel a noticeable difference. She found a connection to my liver and gall bladder that no one else ever did and also helped some digestion issues. The whole experience was professional and they provide a great system for booking and reviewing upcoming appointments. My exercises were recorded for me on my phone with direction to make it easy for me to do. I am looking forward to my next appointment. 5 Star for sure.
Fantastic experience: Nadine worked with me when I sustained a running injury training for a marathon. With her help, I was able to still compete in the race. Her treatment is very conciencious. She is an excellent therapist.
Fantastic experience: Parking is free and the upper parking lot is accessible from the back side along Fifth Street. Drive to the upper lot and park on the right side. Enter the parking lot entrance, take the elevator to the 4th floor and the unit will be to the right (at the end of the corridor). Nadine is very knowledgeable and helped me out many times in correcting habits to lead to an injury reduced future in running.
Fantastic experience: Nadine is fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Rachel at Restore has "restored" my faith in physiotherapists. She only sees one patient at a time and gives you her utmost attention. She cares about your well being and of all the therapists I have seen for my back/neck tension and bulged discs she is the ONLY one who has been able to help me find relief. I actually look forward to my appointments and having IMS (dry needling) done because I know I will leave feeling so much better. I highly recommend you go see her!!
Fantastic experience: I saw Stephanie here to help me recover from a car accident and she's been an amazing help. Great knowledge of movement and rehab- I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing,they were sooooo good with my daughter i highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: Nadine is not only a wonderful person but good at what she does! She has helped me a lot with my chronic foot issues and I always enjoy our friendly conversations. She takes her time and tries various techniques, focusing on a hands-on approach and emails me with my "homework" (exercises to do). Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I would like to say that I was amazed by the services and the quality. Nadine is a very caring and wonderful person and a great specialist who helps a lot of professional athletes. I loved every session with her, her smiles, her humor, her attention to detail... she always remembered our last conversations and sent me emails after each visit with the drawings of exercises I needed to do and few notes.. The amount of information was overwhelming and I did not need to remember it because I knew I would get another email in the evening. One of them came at 11:20pm! The massage, exercises and needle therapy definitely contributed to my fast recovery. During my last visit Nadine reminded me my incentives to continue doing exercises.. and it was something that I briefly had mentioned to her during my very first visit more than a month ago! I could not believe she still remembered this. I just want to say Thank You to her and recommend her services to other people!
Fantastic experience: Not your typical physiotherapy where you go lie down with 10 others and they put a machine on your back. At Restore (specifically David Terlicher) it is one-on-one consultation and treatment. I went through a PCL and ACL tear in my knee and David got me walking withing months. Without a doubt the best physio I've ever been to. He's fixed chronic shoulder pains I've had that no other physio could pin point the root problem.
