Active Relief Centre

Fantastic experience: Artis always finds the root of the problem:)

Fantastic experience: It's absolutely being a pleasure at this clinic. They went a long way helping me with some issues related to a previous Surgical scar. Nothing but progress. And they are super efficient and super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Best physio around I've been going to Aras for 16 years.

Fantastic experience: Eric and his team provide efficient, effective care through their tremendous experience/knowledge and professionalism. Seeing Eric over the last 6 years has never left me disappointed and always thankful for his ongoing support to teach me and keep me healthy.

Fantastic experience: Amanda is always so knowledgeable and professional. Follow her plan and you will be sure to get fixed!

Fantastic experience: Eric is always excellent with my teenage son. He explains everything that he is doing and the reasons why.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kristina’s care, expertise and thorough approach is so very much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Eric is a great practitioner...love Active Relief! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Caitlin is an excellent physiotherapist and her ability to diagnose and treat problems is very impressive. I have been in for various active release treatments over many years but I am happy to say one or two treatments usually results in healing whatever issue that has come up.

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Eric's for many years. I visit him on and off for different issues every so often. He's always been honest with treatments goals and expectations. I always feel better after treatment. I trust him with my 3 children to make the best decisions and treatment. I recommend him highly to anyone I know looking for treatment.

Fantastic experience: As an athlete it's important to have a proper assessment of your injury but also to know, why/how it happened and what you will need to do, not only to heal but to correct imbalances or movement patterns. Eric provides professional insight and gets you moving so you don't need frequent appointments. You just have to be disciplined with the rehab he prescribes. I successfully rehabed both shoulders from intrusive rotator cuff repairs with Eric's support.

Fantastic experience: All is in line again.

Fantastic experience: Positive first experience, promising

Fantastic experience: Eric Olympico really took the time to listen to the physical pain I’ve been experiencing in my neck and shoulders. He carefully identified the underlying issues and gave me a clear, practical plan to work with moving forward. I felt truly heard and supported throughout the process. Really fantastic. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Great 1st experience.

Fantastic experience: As always, from the moment you enter with warm welcome to treatment from Eric.. Active Relief is truly a blessing to help with Physio. Great organization.

Fantastic experience: Chris Romaniw provided an incredible assessment and subsequent treatment for my knee issues using a top down approach. He identified and educated me on muscles that were not activating properly due to new and old injuries. The treatment was targeted and provided immediate results. If you have any lower body issues and are looking for targeted treatment, I highly recommend booking a session with Chris at Active Relief.

Negative experience: I receive 100 calls a day from these people it is annoying and disrupting, stop cold calls,

Fantastic experience: Christina has been treating sciatica and neck pain for 6 months. She is very thorough and takes the time to go through all the active release treatments. Highly recommend any of the staff at Active Relief

Fantastic experience: The staff are amazing! I always enjoy going and having conversations with the ladies

Negative experience: The therapist miss dianosed me without even looking at my root cause. And blames me for not mentioning it even though i did.

Positive experience: First 2 sessions were helpful but the third was unhelpful. Because they didn't help with my root cause of my problem but rather start diagnosing me with unrelated activities.

Fantastic experience: Amanda was great. First visit, very impressed. Knee issues for some time now. After a very thorough assessment, we have a plan in place. Couldnt be happier. Looking forward to being back to 100% in the very near future.

Negative experience: Made an appointment at Hagersville office and they canceled on the day of appointment. I really needed to see someone and waited about a week only to get canceled. They made another appointment and the best they could do for me was almost 2 weeks wait. I called around and found someone to see next day so I called to cancel not knowing I called the Hamilton office. They had an appointment next day as well and seats I could take it and do follow ups in Hagersville. Why didn’t they try in the Hagersville office to get that for me. Very disappointed.

Fantastic experience: i cannot recommend Dr. Aras Kvedaras enough. He has saved me from many situations of pain-related issues. He is amazingly knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk to. He listens to your concerns and symptoms and identifies a very specific course of action. Do exactly what he says and you'll be amazed at your progress!!

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Eric always takes the time to listen to what you're experiencing; then implements the necessary therapy. He provides and demonstrates "at home" exercises/stretches to further assist you in building your strength and flexibility. A real professional who is committed to helping his patients.

Fantastic experience: If I could give the RMT Megan 12/5 stars I would. She’s literally the best human and has the strongest hands!!!

Fantastic experience: Active Relief Centre is an amazing place with practitioners that listen and address your concerns. The ladies at the front welcome you and you are valued as soon as you step in the office. I drive 4 hrs to be seen… they are that good 🤩

Fantastic experience: Eric is always spot on with his diagnosis and his treatments. Eric is a very personable guy and I always have the confidence to know he will make me well again!!

Fantastic experience: Eric is incredible at what he does. He’s consistently helped me work through injuries and get back to feeling my best. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he really takes the time to understand what’s going on and tailor treatment accordingly. I always see great results after my sessions. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Eric knows his stuff, wants to help you get better and prevent future injury. Have never had a hard time getting an appointment and he runs on time!

Fantastic experience: The team at A.R.C is the best.

Fantastic experience: Chris is so thorough and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Active Relief Centre is a top quality centre for pain, injury and rehabilitation. All of the practitioners I have been treated by are excellent. Office staff is very experienced and friendly. Aras, Meghan, and Amanda are our go tos and they are amazing. I highly recommend Active Relief Center in general for all injury and rehabilitation needs.

Fantastic experience: Eric is very attentive to his clients concerns. He explains things well with thorough analysis of diagnosis.

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is wonderful and highly skilled. Office is very clean and nice and just can’t say enough nice things about this place.

Fantastic experience: Amanda & team are great!

Fantastic experience: Great care and team. Very effective pain management and recovery from injuries.

Fantastic experience: Amanda is awesome. My son comes back to her from University to see her because of how much he trusts her.

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about all of the staff at this clinic. So relaxed but professional. Amazing treatment by all clinicians.

Fantastic experience: Eric is the best!!

Fantastic experience: Best place I've received physical treatment from. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable staff at Active Relief Centre.

Fantastic experience: Effective ART treatment.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend going to see Eric at Active Relief for all your physiotherapy needs. He’s fixed me up after injury from BJJ and powerlifting many times. The whole team at Active Relief is incredible, everyone is so welcoming and kind. I’ll drive across the city 25 minutes to go see Eric any day, he’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Aras is *the* best clinical practitioner -- not just the best in town -- the best anywhere. Without a doubt, I would recommend anyone in pain who hasn't been able to find relief, to travel from far and wide to see him. I've had very complicated musculoskeletal problems pop up over the years, and Aras has always helped me resolve them, immediately, when doctors and traditional physical therapists had no idea what to do with me. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to see Aras when I'm in need. I'm eternally grateful to him. I think I probably would have been wheelchair-bound long ago if I hadn't been lucky enough to book that first consultation.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Eric for many years for a chronic shoulder RSI and he has always been wonderful. Today everyone at ARC went above and beyond to help my dad who was in excruciating pain. Liz was amazing and got him in for an appointment with Eric. Eric was so gentle and kind to my dad who was barely mobile. Aras came out to expedite an xray req for my dad and everyone was so accommodating in squeezing my dad in for some much needed appointments next week. I literally cannot thank you all enough for being such amazing advocates for patient well being. Just awesome service all around ❤️

Fantastic experience: Outstanding. Immediate diagnosis and solutions provided. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I was recently in a car accident and had a horrible experience at another place but was recommended to the Active Relief Centre by 2 others who suffered from whiplash. I’ve never had such an amazing experience before, Aras took the time to explain the root of my injuries and made me feel confident in his skill and knowledge. Extremely thorough and I got a ton out of even just one session. Also a huge shoutout to the receptionists, especially Liz for going to bat for me with my insurance company to make sure I was covered for everything I needed. This is where you need to go if you’re looking for people who truly care and have true skill & education.

Fantastic experience: Our family has been going here for years. Both chiropractors - Adam & Aras - are great. And we've had positive experiences with all of the PTs/RMTs.

Fantastic experience: I am lucky enough to have been treated by 2 of the outstanding practitioners @ Active Relief Centre. I was initially referred to the clinic by my Dentist for jaw tightness that I had been dealing with for a LONG time. I initially met with Adam, DC who was able to resolve the issue in short order and without any of the dreaded “manipulation” that I had anticipated (I had never been to a Chiropractor before and was skeptical). The treatments were passive and pain-free. Adam provided me with very effective home-based exercises and I have not required any intervention since then. Unfortunately, a few months later I experienced a back injury. I knew from my previous experience with Adam that Active Relief Centre could help me and their amazing Admin staff was able to get me in quickly. Amanda, PT was knowledgeable, thorough, calming and patiently answered ALL of my questions. I had noticeable improvement in my mobility immediately after my 1st treatment. Amanda also provided me with instructions on how to manage the symptoms at home along with preventive stretches/exercises. I had started running a short time before this back injury and was convinced that I would not be able to complete my goal of finishing the Around The Bay Road Race. I am very proud to say that I was able to complete it, but not without the help of Amanda & Active Relief Centre. I continue to see Amanda but only on an as-needed basis to deal with any aches or pains that arise as I continue my running journey. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Active Relief Centre – I only wish I had started attending sooner !

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend - Great care and customer service. Thank you !

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by three practitioners here at different times and they are all very very good at what they do. They get to the root cause and instill confidence with their skill. I highly recommend this team!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Active Relief Centre for a few years now, with breaks in between when all is going well with my body. The staff are so friendly and helpful and I find it easy to book an appointment. I cannot say enough good about Adam, the manual therapist who directly treats me. He is always attentive when listening to my answers to his questions. He is patient to find out what is going on. And he is excellent at what he does in terms of treatment. I have gone to him for constant upper back pain (now healed), a knee issue (he gave me an exercise to do before I run stairs that has helped tremendously), an injured toe (98% better), and two different neck pain injuries/issues. Every time he is so knowledgeable, personable, and gentle. It is a rare experience to go see a stranger for treatment and leave feeling so cared for. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment today and never usually write reviews but really felt the need to based on how amazing my experience was. I was seen by Dr. Aras for my hip and after just 1 visit I notice a huge difference. The staff was so friendly and helpful, no wonder I got so many referrals to come here! I would defiantly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly competent !!! and friendly! Unlike anywhere else these professionals diagnose root causes rather than symptoms. Amazing success with my pain of neck and feet and my husband’s hip.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Adam is the best! I went about 2 years ago for a few sessions for my sciatica, and I haven’t had chronic pain since. A miracle worker!!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional diagnostic skills. High level treatment. Professional, qualified, friendly, courteous and accommodating staff. Prompt response to questions. World class care. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful that I heard about this Centre! I ended up in a wheelchair after I had sudden back issues arise, as well as severe sciatica. The walk in clinic doctors could only guess what it was and prescribe meds, but then I got an appointment here with Ashley, who was my angel in a time of need. She easily diagnosed and treated the issue and gave me a very simple exercise to do, along with tips and health teaching. They aim to have people 70% better within 3 weeks, and that certainly was the case for me! Highly recommend any of the staff members here!

Fantastic experience: My aunt has been seeing Adam Dziemianko for several years. She is elderly and doesn't use a computer so I wanted to write a review on her behalf. Despite her advanced age, she still enjoys relatively good health. For years, she has struggled with pain issues and tried many things looking for relief. Her physicians have prescribed everything they can think of, and in my opinion, become exasperated at their inability to treat her pain. Obviously, medications weren't the full answer. She has found the treatment she receives from Adam to be the most helpful. She tells everyone how much this helps her. She describes him enthusiastically as "very personable and caring" and we are grateful that her quality of life is improved.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Aras is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. He helped me work through a very painful and tough neck injury. The herniation caused so much pain that I was unable to lie down for almost 2 months. He was the only one that could actively help me when many doctors and other practitioners could or would not. I drove 3 hours total to see him in Hamilton - now he has an office in Guelph as well which cut my drive time in half. His goal is to get you healed and gone with exercises you can do at home that keep things protected and stabilized. I have a lot of respect for this man. He cares and helps people stay independent (not constantly coming back) and pain free long term. I am so grateful for what he`s done for me! I only wish I had found him sooner. You`re missing out big time if you`re suffering from a neck or back injury and don`t give Dr. Aras a chance to help you!

Fantastic experience: Aras is the closest thing to a genius that exists on this side of the equator.

Fantastic experience: Aras is the absolute best in the area!

Negative experience: Had an appointment with PT today. A patient arrived 30 min late to be seen before me. I lost my appointment time. I will not be returning. Not respectful and poorly organized.
