Fantastic experience: I've been to Shift Chiropractic a few times now for various injuries, including muscle sprains and strains and knee issues, and each time I've walked out feeling much better than when I walked in. Sam is also great at providing follow-up exercises that I can do at home to help with recovery and prevent further issues. I highly recommend Sam at Shift Chiropractic!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Weichel is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and organized! I have found this to be a very rare triangle of skill among chiropractors and physiotherapists. He is an astute diagnostician who dials in quickly on your specific issues, and recommends appropriate level-based exercises for starting off and continued improvement. You are not “an experiment”; he knows!

Fantastic experience: Every visit I come away feeling better. Emily is patient with my questions and update briefing I use to tell her how things are working for me. Emily uses her skills and training to get me back into top shape after surgery or worn out parts needing some care and attention. She is great at providing encouragement! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Emily is very knowledgeable and has a calming, positive attitude.

Sandra Prange Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Emily took the time to ask questions and to listen. She first did the exercises herself and then watched as I did them. She was thorough , knowledgeable and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your physiotherapy.

Bill Blackwell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Emily is a very good physiotherapist. I have had several sessions with her after having a knee replaced and additionally for some neck and shoulder issues. She is very clear on what she would like you to do at home to aid in your recovery and she takes time to follow up by sending you your "homework " so to speak and she always tries to analyze what to do next in helping you progress. She is young and energetic and super nice to deal with. I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam & Cassidy at Shift are the absolute best! I suffered a sciatic nerve injury that ruined my quality of life. I was living in 24/7 pain. I heard about Dr. Sam’s hybrid training program as I wanted to be able to get back into the gym and strengthen my body the correct way and honestly, it’s the best investment I have made for myself. We’ve been working together for 6 months and my progress has made leaps and bounds in a way I never could have done on my own. He’s a wealth of knowledge and has excellent patient care and his unique hybrid training program makes him one of the best in his field! If you’re suffering from any type of injury and want to learn how to build a strong foundation with exercise and mind-muscle connection, then you absolutely need to hire Dr. Sam!

Fantastic experience: I have booked several massage sessions with Cassidy Rayner, and I can't say enough about her approach to treatment. She takes the time to assess my needs in a very compassionate and respectful manner. She is a very knowledgeable RMT, and she has even shown me a few exercises to do at home to.address my problem areas. They have made a huge difference. Highly recommend Cassidy for anyone looking for a great RMT in Saugeen Shores.

Fantastic experience: Heather never misses. After years of struggling with chronic neck tension from repetitive stress, I’m finally pain-free with full range of motion— all thanks to her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and truly a master of her craft. I’m so grateful to have Heather as my RMT; her care has allowed me to keep up with both work and sport without discomfort. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Heather for massage therapy, and I can confidently say she is exceptional at what she does. Her deep knowledge of the body is immediately evident—she takes the time to understand what’s going on, explains things clearly, and tailors each session to address specific concerns. I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally. Beyond her expertise, Heather creates such a comfortable and welcoming environment. She’s professional, intuitive, and genuinely cares about your well-being. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr Sam is a phenomenal chiropractor with additional degrees beyond "just" chiropractor. I tell people its like having a physio appointment with your chiropractor appointment. He assesses and provides wisdom, adjustments if needed, and exercises to do at home to help yourself get stronger. He has gone above and beyond with requesting MRI's and Xrays from my family doctor, and the report is more detailed than I've ever heard from a practitioner. Expect exceptional service with a smile! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Heather Anderson, RMT I just had the best massage in years and have already booked more sessions with Heather Anderson. Heather is professional and friendly. She respected my preference for a quiet massage while providing helpful suggestions for my health when appropriate. Her treatment was therapeutic (helped ease my shoulder pain) and very relaxing. As a bonus, her massage table is incredibly comfortable! I now plan to incorporate regular massage into my 2025 health plan!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam listened to my concerns, formulated a plan of action which included my own homework, and has made significant progress in a short term as we work together.
