PHYSIOEFFECT - Surrey

Fantastic experience: I've seen Brian at PHYSIOEFFECT for a foot injury and, more recently, a knee injury, and I've had a great experience each time. Brian is kind, knowledgeable, and completely non-judgemental. He takes the time to explain what's going on and why he's recommending certain treatments or exercises, which I really appreciate. What stands out most is how he adapts his approach to fit real life. If an exercise isn't working, he'll adjust it on the spot and make sure the plan is practical and something you'll actually stick with. He combines hands-on treatment, exercise, education, and injury prevention advice in a way that works exactly for you and your lifestyle. On top of all of this, he's great to talk to, which makes every appointment enjoyable. The clinic is clean, conveniently located, and professional. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a physiotherapist who genuinely cares about helping you recover and stay healthy.

Fantastic experience: Brian is very kind and respectful. He always listens carefully and provides me with a treatment plan that actually works.

Fantastic experience: Brian is a caring and professional physiotherapist. I've had multiple injuries over the last few months and Brian guided me on the path to recovery. He modified the program based on my level of comfort, and I never felt pressured to go beyond what I could do. I appreciated that his schedule was flexible and that this location was easy to access (with ample parking). There are lots of new workout machines and the place was spotless. While one always hopes to never see their physio at the clinic, if I do have future injuries, I know who I'll be calling out. Cheers mate.

Fantastic experience: In November 2024, I suffered a quite serious injury, tearing 95% of my pec tendon, which required surgery. Two weeks post-op, I was cleared to begin physio, and after doing some research, Brian at physioeffect stood out as the top choice in my area. I’m so glad I chose him. From our very first session, Brian was incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive. He created a positive environment that made me feel motivated, even on the tough days when basic movements were a struggle. His guidance, encouragement, and well structured rehab plan kept me on track, and I stuck closely to the exercises he prescribed. At my 8-week post-op checkup, my surgeon was genuinely impressed with how well my chest was healing, a clear testament to Brian’s expertise. Once I was cleared for more active movement, Brian helped me rebuild strength and relearn how to properly contract the pec. Even when the muscle felt weak and disconnected, he knew exactly how to help me push through safely and effectively. Now, 7 months post-surgery, I’m nearly back to 100% function. Every session with Brian left me feeling better not only physically but also mentally. I walked out of each appointment with more knowledge, more clarity, and the confidence that I was healing, one step at a time. I can’t thank Brian enough for his professionalism, care, and dedication. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist in the Surrey/Vancouver area, I can’t recommend PhysioEffect highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I had ongoing shoulder pain that just wouldn’t go away until I saw Brian. He was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my recovery. Thanks to his treatment and guidance, my shoulder feels completely back to normal. I highly recommend this clinic if you're looking for real results.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Brian enough for the outstanding care and support he provided during my recovery from a level 2 sprained ankle. From the very first session, he took the time to explain my injury in clear terms and developed a personalized rehab plan that balanced recovery with my goals to return to daily activity as soon and as safely as possible. Brian’s approach was both professional and compassionate. He was always patient, answered all my questions, and adjusted my exercises week by week based on my progress. What stood out the most was his attention to detail and encouragement—he never let me push too hard too fast, but always made sure I was improving steadily. Thanks to his guidance, my mobility and strength improved significantly, and I was able to get back to my normal routine faster than I expected. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and skilled physiotherapist, I highly recommend Brian

Fantastic experience: Many reviews have already said it - Brian is very professional, compassionate, friendly and knowledgeable. I’m grateful he was recommended to me when I asked for physio suggestions on a Mom Facebook group! I started seeing him for new mom wrist joint issues, and he eventually helped my husband and I recover during an ICBC claim. Thank you, Brian!!

Fantastic experience: 4 years, military background. I am not kidding when I say that Brian is not only a professional, but will treat you as a true friend that only wants the best for you, and wants to see you succeed in whatever fitness goals and feel better. His attentiveness, active listening, and his ability to hold conversation in not just why you're seeing him, but your life in general makes it feel like talking to a friend you haven't seen in years, and yet you instantly click with as soon as you see each other. If you don't feel the same way, feel free to reply to this review, but if you were once like me, and lost all hope in physio, do yourself a favour and give Brian a chance, you will not be sorry. Brian, from the bottom of my heart, from one man to another, you have my upmost respect for going above and beyond for what you do. Truly I say this when I say, that you're not the physio therapist we deserve, but the one we need, when we need them most. Thank you for everything. Will Andaya

Fantastic experience: Brian is a true professional; very knowledgeable and can modify the approach to the therapy in more than one way. He is also very positive and believes in himself, you and your recovery. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Brian for the amazing physio from ICBC claim. Brian is knowledgeable, friendly and goes the extra mile in helping his clients. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Keith for a few months and would highly recommend him. He’s very knowledgeable, personable and has helped me a lot with my rehab. Great guy and team at Physio effect!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet Brian. First session, he already made me feel comfortable, and I can clearly see that he is very knowledgeable. I've seen multiple physios before, but Brian is the best. I am suffering from back injury and Brian taught me movements that can help me manage my pain. He also showed me exercises, proper breathing etc. I am not fully recovered yet, but I can see myself getting there with Brian's help. He is a good listener. He focus on his clients, unlike other PTs I've met before. I have recommended him to my family and friends. So if you are looking for the best PT, don't hesitate to see Brian. I highly recommend him! /WA

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian at PHYSIOEFFECT after experiencing a lower back injury from lifting weights. From the very first session, Brian's expertise and understanding of physiotherapy was evident. He not only took the time to assess my condition, but also listened to my concerns. He was able to craft a personalized recovery plan that targeted my specific needs. What sets Brian apart is his compassionate and patient-centered approach. He explained every step of the recovery process in great detail. His hands-on techniques, combined with targeted exercises, made my recovery process go smoother. Within a few sessions, I began to notice a significant improvement in my lower back. Thanks to his guidance, I am back to normal and hitting the gym again pain free. Additionally, Brian also taught me proper techniques to use at the gym to prevent injury. Some of these techniques included breathing, foot positioning, stabilizing my core and more. With the newfound knowledge I received from Brian, I have gained more confidence at the gym. 💪 If you’re dealing with any type of injury, gym related or not, I recommend booking an appointment with Brian. His knowledge, professionalism, passion and dedication to his patients are exceptional. Thanks Brian, for helping me get back on my feet! 🙏

Fantastic experience: I unfortunately started my summer with a ruptured Achilles. Life was about to change completely for the next few months. My injury didn’t just affect my physical capabilities, but also impacted my emotional and mental health. Fortunately, I was referred to see Brian Hua at Physio Effect to begin my rehab journey. Brian began the process by physically assessing my physical capabilities, but also was therapeutic in listening and understanding the mental health challenges that go along with such injuries. Brian never dismissed any of the hardships I was going through and was empathetic throughout, making it easier for my rehab journey to truly move forward. Each week, Brian assessed my readiness along with my capabilities and prescribed me with exercises that were tailored for my level of readiness. His endless encouragement and empathy helped me build back my confidence to challenge myself bit after bit, until I started picking up a lot more momentum in my self-esteem and confidence. Each week I challenged myself a bit more, and became more motivated as I saw results. This snowballed into me building back my mobility. I am currently 12 weeks into my rehab program, and will continue to see Brian to fully gain my abilities back. His professionalism, positivity, and empathy is something everyone can truly benefit from. In addition, Brian is a personable individual which makes it easier to connect and talk about things on a more personal level. A physical injury can come with a lot of extra weight mentally and emotionally, I’m glad I was referred to Brian Hua because he understands the full gamut of what comes with a physical injury. Part of rehab is building back your own confidence in yourself and mental health, it can feel like it’s something that isn’t really talked about. I’m truly thankful for Brian’s professionalism and determination. For anyone going through a physical injury and may be struggling with daily road blocks(physically and mentally), I strongly recommend booking with Brian.

Fantastic experience: After suffering from a sport's injury, I sought out physiotherapist clinics near me or my workplace. It was not an easy task. When I started being treated by Brian, was relieved. He asked many questions, listened and proposed a few different approaches. With on site pain and injury management, as well as home progressive exercises, not only did healing happened but I feel stronger than ever. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Amazing services and professionalism. Brian is an expert with his techniques and always a lovely chat when receiving treatment. Mia at the front desk is also a ray of sunshine. Overall only top tier experiences at this clinic!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with both Brian and Keith individually thru two different injuries now. Not only are these guys super personable and total sweethearts, they also really know their stuff. I always leave a session with my injury feeling 10x better than it did when I got there. They have given me a variety of treatment in session and send me home with useful tools, including knowledge of my injury and beneficial rehab exercises. Highly recommend them. Thanks guys :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Brian for the last 3 years for my chronic back pain and he has been extremely helpful in helping me manage my pain. He is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful in making sure I am able to do my daily tasks from home without major flare ups! Would recommend to anyone dealing with chronic back pain!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Brian Hau(Registered Physiotherapist) for a couple of years and the service is always exceptional. He is very good at asking the right questions to find out what the best treatment is for each situation. I highly recommend Physioeffect. I attend the Surrey location and it is a very clean and relaxing environment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a lingering calf injury for over a year. This is the first place I’ve been to that’s provided me with the routine and structure that I need to help me get back to running. Brian is knowledgeable and personable.

Fantastic experience: Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My therapist is really nice and easy to deal with, he's always so happy to see his patient and so happy to help whenever I needed, plus so considerate on booking our sessions, and I do like how he always ask if I'm 100% healed before letting go on the case 😅. Thank you, Brian for treating my wrist injury. Commendable experience indeed 🙌

Fantastic experience: Brian is definitely the best physio therapist i ever had. He is professional, compassionate, patient and kind .. he spent time to explain to me the rational of each movement, and never rush me in very treatment slot .. I strongly recommend him .. and i really feel lucky to have a therapist like him close to my home.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Brian to anyone in need of a speedy recovery from sports injuries. He helped my son recover from an ankle sprain. Brian is professional, understanding, and caring.

Fantastic experience: Nearing a year now, I have been managing a knee injury. Not only did it prevent me from playing sports but also prevented me from proficiently doing daily activities like going up/down stairs and picking up items from the ground. I was referred to Brian by a friend and in just a few months, I can proudly say it's been a successful road towards regaining my confidence and strength to move and play sports again. From the first assessment I had with Brian, he was already able to create and provide a progression plan. Each session was always different and therefore not boring. With a variety of exercises we discovered more and more possible reasons that was causing my knee pain. He will also provide a rationale behind the exercises with regards to the muscles involved. What I enjoy the most is that sessions are one on one and in a private room. He works with you the whole time. I hope this review can give Brian and Physioeffect some more clients because he (and they) definitely deserve it.

Positive experience: Have been working with Brian for several years and he definitely works hard with his clients and with their other practioners to meet his clients needs. He also does his best to work with your schedule when he can, which is great when your schedule is very busy. Definitely the best physical Rehabilitation and Physiotherapist I've worked with in my many years of Rehabilitation. The sessions are consistent but also not overly repetitive that you are just doing the same thing session after session. I would definitely recommend. You also get great conversation and can tell he's genuinely interested in what you're saying. Thanks Brian!!!

Fantastic experience: Brian's expertise in physiotherapy has been instrumental in treating my chronic neck and back pain.

Fantastic experience: Brian has been nothing but amazing! He was very tentative and patient with my dad when he came in with immense back pain. His exercises were broken down very simply for my dad to understand and when my dad voiced he couldn’t do it, Brian did not hesitate to find an alternative. It’s also a plus that Brian is bilingual in Vietnamese and English! Thank you so much Brian!

There is also a sense of comfort and camaraderie he provides which makes it easy to look forward to weekly sessions.
