Anson Orthopaedic & Sports Physiotherapy Clinic

Expérience fantastique: I went to see Dr. Karma with my cervical nerve pain,on my first visit I felt very high professionalism

Expérience fantastique: After over 3 years of sciatica caused by a bulged disc, along with ongoing muscle and fascia tightness from my lower back to glute down to my ankle, I had tried multiple treatments including chiropractors, acupuncture, massage therapy, and several physiotherapists with little to no lasting relief. My posture worsened over time, my mobility decreased, and my quality of life really suffered. After finding Karma through a Facebook recommendation, he explained that my case was complex due to how long I had been dealing with the injury and the extent of the muscular tightness and postural imbalance. I started a course of IMS needling, shockwave therapy, and light exercise. Within about 9 weeks, I noticed significant improvements in my pain levels, posture, and overall mobility. Three months later, I can confidently say that I'm now completely free of sciatica symptoms. The nerve pain that had affected my life for years is gone, and I can finally enjoy pain free days again. Karma also provided clear guidance on specific exercises to do and avoid, along with practical advice on how to safely manage my work without aggravating my injury. He is knowledgeable, professional, and highly skilled at needling. Although my sciatica is gone, I'll still continue to see him from time to time if my muscles become tight, as I've found IMS needling to be incredibly effective for relieving muscle tension and keeping me feeling my best. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with sciatica or chronic pain.

Expérience fantastique: 21 years I’ve known Lori! She really is the best!L I don’t know someone I would trust more than her!

Expérience fantastique: Truly Grateful for Karma’s Expertise I’ve been dealing with sciatica since late last year, and Karma has been a huge part of why it’s finally manageable. His approach is both professional and deeply knowledgeable, he doesn’t just treat symptoms, he explains why the issue is happening and targets it at the root. The IMS needling sessions have been incredibly effective, especially when paired with the stretches and strengthening exercises he recommended. I’ve seen a huge difference in both pain levels and mobility since starting treatment with him. He listens, tailors the treatment, and genuinely cares about your recovery. Highly recommend Karma if you’re looking for someone who really knows their stuff and wants you to get better and not just come back every week forever.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing physio and sports rehabilitation treatment received from Karma over all these year at Anson. Never really sat down to leave a comment. Karma is very diligent in his work, very knowledgeable about his trade and deeply understands his patients pain points (literally). It doesn’t take him too long to pin point the affected areas, explains how these parts gets affected and starts his treatment immediately. He is also a believer of getting into the root of the cause and treating it there rather than putting a bandaid treatment . He follows up with a sleuth of exercises and makes it a point they are being regularly followed. Don’t get surprised if he gently scolds you if you are not following these exercises at home. There are few Physios who does this for your own benefit so take it positively. Good luck and thanks Karma @ Anson for your services . Cheers

Expérience fantastique: My physiotherapist is Karma at the clinic. I partially tore my calf muscle was on crutches and Karma was my saviour with laser treatments and dry needling. I felt my recovery was much sooner because of him. He took the time to assess my injury and always is very courteous and professional. I would recommend anyone who is in sports to see him and he is very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks Karma for helping me get back to regular activities and pain free now.

Expérience fantastique: 2024: I found Anson physiotherapy and, specifically Karma, back in 2021 when I injured my shoulder. 3 years later and Karma has fixed me so many times that I can't even count anymore. He's very knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to help you. Top notch treatment! I'm moving to another city and I'll probably keep coming back to Coquitlam when I need physiotherapy. 2021: I've been coming to this clinic over the past month and I highly recommend it. Karma is very accurate in finding and treating your pain.

Expérience fantastique: I am currently a patient of Karma, a kind, knowledgeable, and professional physiotherapist. In addition to his excellent care, Karma is a dedicated advocate for his patients. In February 2024, my treatment plan was approved for only half of the recommended sessions by ICBC. Karma knew my health status and wrote emails to ICBC to rectify the situation. Thanks to his advocacy, ICBC eventually approved the full physio sessions. The ICBC manager wrote in the reply, "I am grateful your patient has an advocate like yourself who brought their concerns forward...." Anson is the second physiotherapy clinic I've visited. Initially, Karma did assessment and created a treatment plan for me. I had no issues with direct billing to ICBC once the plan was approved. All of Anson's staff are very friendly, and I feel very comfortable receiving physiotherapy there.

Expérience positive: I am from New Westminster B.C. and a professionally trained singer as well as I played competitive tennis in Vancouver. I recently sustained an injury to my neck which transpired in to extremely excruciating nerve pain from my right shoulder to numbness in my fingers in my right hand.. I went to Anson Sports clinic and Karma was my physio therapist. We did months of ongoing treatment and rehab and I cannot say enough about how professional, thorough, patient, kind and knowledgeable Karma is !! The exercises he gave me couldn't have been better. The acupuncture was top notch. I have never done acupuncture before but totally put myself in Karma's very capable healing hands once I had talked to him about my condition. Follow up from Karma was amazing. He always went above and beyond to reach out about how I was doing between treatments. I am in Australia now May 2024 and was so pleased to get a message, a hello and how are you doing from Karma asking if I am fine and still doing my exercises. Can't think of any situation where I was ill and treated and someone who provided care went so over and beyond. Thank you Karma. The receptionists were extremely polite. The facility is clean and quiet and comfortable. I had no ssues with billing, waiting for treatment when I went for my appointments and am 100% satisfied with how my case and I were handled and would highly recommend Anson sports clinic and especially Karma. Thank you Karma. I have been pain free since March 🙏

Expérience négative: Karma is terrible. I came in for treatment for my ICBC injuries. I explained to him the process of how my last physiotherapy provider billed ICBC directly and he was being quite rude with me saying that he’s “never heard of that.” I was shocked. We went ahead and did treatment anyway and at the end of the session he told me he feel like I have a “sense of entitlement” because when I arrived I explained to him how I have been dealing with my ICBC claim for years now. His ego got the best of him clearly. I told him I was offended he would even say something like that when I was not behaving that way at all? Nor am I that sort of person. In addition, he failed to mentioned to me that they are not going to direct bill ICBC and I ended up having to pay out of pocket. For anyone who is needing treatment and going through ICBC, please be aware that this establishment is not honest with you upfront and also that Karma is not nice to you when things aren’t done “his way.” In addition, I can hear him and the receptionist in the other room gossiping about me before I was ready to leave. Really unprofessional place. Would not recommend coming here.

Expérience fantastique: Lori is excellent physiotherapist. She is Professional, informative and concerned about how to rehabilitate her clients perfectly. I have very positive experience with Lori, treating me. Also, great thanks for Nadine, the caring and welcoming secretary.

Expérience fantastique: Karma has been my physiotherapist for just over 6 months and I can only say fabulous things about his care. He also makes himself available and I’ve never had a problem getting in to see him when I need him. He truly is the best physiotherapist I’ve ever had. I appreciate his work with lasers and IMS. He’s very skilled. Thank you Karma!

Expérience fantastique: It's just a magic! I had a lower back pain because of carrying my baby and Anant was able to remove pain just during the first appointment and gave excersizes to do at home for stretching. Definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I would like to recommend seeing Dr. Karma He is very professional with broad knowledge and really cares about the patient. My neck and shoulder were killing me, He did dry needling and all pain is gone. He is the best :) Thank you, Dr. Karma

Expérience fantastique: I am an RN of 35 years with chronic pain issues from herniated discs and I have been seeing Lori for 13 years now . The professionalism and empathy that Lori and the entire team at Anson have shown is second to none! Lori has an extraordinary ability to listen not only to what you are verbally saying but also to what your body is saying ... she has an innate ability to pinpoint trouble areas and then proceeds to offer pain relief with her massive barrage of skills . She has been instrumental in helping me to continue doing the job that I love so much . From the bottom of my heart I thank all who keep Anson physio what it is today .... an all inclusive haven that treats mind, body and soul ! Diane Hamel

Expérience fantastique: My mom comes here for her treatment, and receives treatment from Karma. He used shockwave and IMS on her, which as helped a great deal. Thank you to all the staff at the clinic for providing my mom with a positive experience.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Anson Physiotherapy to everyone I know. I have been going there for over 10 years and everyone I have seen has helped me immensely. It is such a warm, caring, and inviting environment. This is truly a place of healing.

Expérience fantastique: I have been attending Anson Physio since the fall of 2009 after a knee replacement and later for a back injury. My physiotherapist is Lori Dalin and she is very knowledgeable and can pin point the problem quickly and knows just what the treatment plan should be. She shares her findings with me and helps me understand my injury.... hurt verses harm. I have had laser, shockwave therapy and Dry Needling over the last 11 years for various injuries. Currently I am having Dry needling and it amazes me how she knows just where the pain is coming from and she gets results. The staff is always welcoming and they take pride in their place of work. The office is clean and each room has a theme which helps you to relax. Definitely a 5 star rating.

Expérience fantastique: I go here for Karma Bhutia. He is so knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. He chooses the right treatment which has always worked for me like soft tissue manipulation, IMS etc. I have always come out with best results with Karma. Any pain I will go back to Anson. No pain yet ;) -vlama, abby

Expérience fantastique: Go see Karma physiotherapist. He specializes in hands on manipulation! Worked on me for an hour and fixed my work injury within 2 visits. Clean place, my kids had to come with me first visit and they just sat in the chairs /stroller eating snacks and watching videos. Karma was very nice and answered all of my 5 year olds questions on what he was doing. 😂. I will continue to come back to maintain my body!

Expérience fantastique: I got more out of one treatment with John than from the 20 treatments I received at another physio clinic. John is a wealth of knowledge and really works with you to address the specific issues you have, all while strengthening your whole body in an effort to help prevent/combat any future issues

Expérience fantastique: I followed John from Vancouver, to Burnaby, to Anson. He is the most thorough and engaging physiotherapist I have ever had. I have never felt like just a client or part of his quota. Seeing John, I feel like my health is valued and my issues are respected and treated. We have worked through my a traumatic knee surgery and John has introduced me to many perspectives and has helped me become a healthier human being. John will give you the tools to help yourself but engages you along the way. I would recommend him to anyone who has any pain or sports related issues.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent staff, assessments and customer service!! I was very impressed ! 😊

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful people. Karma has exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend this clinic!

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend Anson Orthopaedic .. staff are always a pleasure to deal with get greated with a smile and hello from the ladies at front desk soon as I enter. Had the privelage to have worked with few of there staff all did great ... currently working with John knows his stuff and always takes the time to explain and talk to me bout what's going on defiently people that care bout peoples well being not just there for a pay cheque👍👌

Expérience fantastique: John Perone changed my life. 1.5 years and 4 separate Physiotherapists worth of Foot/Knee/Hip pain and treatments that limited me from even walking in the grocery store was turned around by John and his techniques and tools. Google will not give me enough space to say enough nice things about this man. 5-6 sessions from him helped me in a way no other Physiotherapists could and allowed me to walk again.

Expérience fantastique: The staff here have been treating out 12 year old daughter for the past 4 months. We have seen a great improvement for her injuries. She likes the Physios she has seen and they have been very good about explaining each procedure that they will be doing, how it will help her, if there is an alternative and providing "homework" to keep her rehabilitation coming along.

Expérience fantastique: I love this place. It's like a boutique clinic. They have warm and friendly staff and the physios are top notch. The emphasis is on quality, not quantity like many other clinics. I have been coming to this clinic for over 10 years. They are extremely knowledgeable, the clinic is clean, there is lots of parking as well as access by skytrain. I don't go anywhere else.

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful, caring, knowledgable staff at Anson! Have been going for many years and would highly recommend them. Thanks!

Expérience fantastique: I recently was referred by a friend to try Anson Physio after a car accident. I have been to various other local physiotherapy establishments and was shocked at the experience I have had at Anson. The physiotherapists give you 1:1 attention and you often have your own private room to receive your treatment in. The staff are all super friendly and accommodating and my treatments with Jodh have been incredibly helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent therapists. They have helped me with several issues and I highly recommend their services.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Jodh. He uses a variety of techniques and is very hands on. I have been at other clinics where I was simply hooked up to a tens machine and left but Jodh uses Mulligan manipulations, IMS, Active Release, laser or shockwave when appropriate. He ensures that I understand the theory behind his approaches and is professional, patient and compassionate. I have recommended Jodh to my friends and they have all had very positive results in dealing with their injuries.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent experience! The staff at Anson physio has far exceeded my expectations. The information and guidance in moving forward with my injury from Nadine and Jodh go beyond their duties and is much appreciated. It would seem that most of the medical professionals that I have dealt with are more preoccupied/concerned with money over a patients well being/progress. At Anson you get a sense that they take great pride in utilizing all of their resources to improve your condition and put your well being at the top of the list. I would highly recommend this clinic and wouldn't hesitate to use their services in the future.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing welcoming clinic! The girl at the front desk monday to friday mornings is very efficient,professional and welcoming! My physio Jodh is a miracle worker. He usually fix most of my injuries in 3-4 visits. Highly recomended!!!!

Expérience fantastique: My husband and I have been patients at Anson Physiotherapy for a number of years. We have seen multiple different Physio's (Lori, Jod and Mhairi) and have been thoroughly impressed. Beyond their friendly comforting nature, they are all extremely knowledgeable. With various injuries and chronic pain, my husband and I have been thoroughly impressed with the treatment, and focus on strengthening for our overall functioning. In fact, we have been so impressed with Anson Physiotherapy that we have referred our immediate and extended family to the clinic. Lori was especially wonderful with my Grandmother, who was suffering from chronic knee pain and memory loss. Each week that we visited Lori, she would reintroduce herself to my Grandma to maintain her dignity, and would then proceed to laugh with her and help with her knee pain. It was always a wonderful experience!

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough about these guys . They really care. Very clean professional place. Johd is a miracle worker and the secretary is super nice and accommodating. They truly have your best interests in mind. They really are there for you. They are modern and up to date with all the new technology. I highly recommend this place.

Expérience négative: I went here because it was close by and had decent reviews. Unfortunately, I wasn't very pleased with the experience. Office felt run down, not particularly clean, and had a weird atmosphere. The Physiotherapist who saw me seemed like he didn't like his job very much. He was not very attentive and didn't explain what he was doing or why. He also said he would give me stretches for at home but then forgot. I felt like they could care less that I was there and were doing only minimal effort. I won't be going back.

Expérience négative: I was very disappointed with the service! I had decided to see a physiotherapist in this clinic because the reviews were very good on Google. However, my experience was not very good and I will never go back again. 1. Parking on Saturday was limited. My first appointment was at 1:30 pm on June 10 and I saw Jod. The mall was very busy and I could not find parking at the mall. I asked the receptionist and she said that there is no additional parking. Jod was friendly and he provided good services, but he looked very tired. 2. They were late for my appointments and they double book their appointments. My appointment was at 10:30 am today on june 12. I arrived 15 minutes early with my 5 years old son (today is pro-d day). 5 minutes later another lady came in and I heard that she has the appointment at the same time with the same physiotherapist as me. My therapist Jod did not come to my room on time, so at 10:45 am I went yo talk to the receptionist and ask why. She said that the last appointment was late, that is why my appointment was late too. Then I asked her about the double booking, she said that they always double book customers if one uses the machine. I had to walk out the clinic without any treatment, because they will be at least half an hour late for my treatment because of late appointment from the previous customer and the double booked client. I did not like the way they handle things. I have my son with me and I have plans after. Late appointments will delay my other activities. In addition, two clients at the same time was bad too, I understand that when one is on the machine, there is not very much the therapist can do, however, at least, they should count the time that they set the machine and talk to the client, say 15-20 mins later for the other one. 3. They claim that they are one of the few clinics that uses low intensity laser therapy. The effectiveness of this technology is not significant from the most academic papers I read.

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and team! Deepika has done wonders in reducing the pain and discomfort I received from a whiplash. She is very competent and caring, highly recommended

Expérience fantastique: Amazing customer service and caring staff. My therapist, Jodh, goes above and beyond my expectations. I am never feeling rushed and he actually takes his time to go over your treatment unlike other therapists I have experienced. It's a cozy place with a very friendly environment and plenty of free parking available outside. I never had an issue not finding a parking spot which is a huge bonus.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome customer service and professionalism..

Expérience fantastique: Family-friendly physiotherapy clinic run by sweet, genuine people! Linda is fantastic to work with and all of the therapists are really focused on making patients feel better through whatever method is necessary. The atmosphere is positive and secure, with private rooms for patients rather than just curtains. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking an alternative approach to pain relief through safe and natural methods!

Expérience fantastique: After slipping on some mud and hitting my shin on a curb, I developed a large bruise that eventually led to some circulation issues on the lower part of my leg. I visited Anson Physio for a few treatments of laser therapy and immediately noticed some improvements. The swelling decreased each time and I was back to my normal self in no time. The team at Anson are great and I'd highly recommend them. You truly feel like you're seeing family when you come for your treatment!

Expérience fantastique: Friendly, professional and excellent service from the receptionists to the therapists. Accommodated my schedule, were always on time, and able to offer several types of therapy. After just a few weeks my injury was healed allowing me to get back running. I would highly recommend Anson Physiotherapy.
