I have been coming to see Steve for a couple of years (on and off of course). He helped me out with a couple of c@!%!y running injuries and now does my annual orthotics. He taught me how to overcome some hip issues I was having as a result of an ankle weakened by surgery. My running has improved and my hip strength is far more even now. Everyone here is super friendly, very accommodating and... more

I've been to a lot of physios over the years and Katie Wnuk at Sitka is by far the best one. She's an expert in her field, identifies issues quickly and gives you exercises that you will actually do. She explains everything she's doing in the moment and shares just enough information so that you understand what's going on but don't get overwhelmed.

Before our first session, my knee was so sore... more

Steve Nairn has helped me recover from multiple sports injuries over the years and I can't say enough good things about him and the team at Sitka.

He has helped me recover from:
- A lower back issue due to a torn hamstring
- A torn shoulder / grade 2 separation
- A twice torn MCL
- Muscle imbalance in my knee x2
- Lower back stiffness
- Extremely tight hip flexors

I would highly recommend him... more

Policies more important than customer service.

I am a newer customer, and have been to Sitka 4 times for physio services.

I had a 5th appointment scheduled, but needed to change my appointment on the day of, due to an unexpected family matter. I called to reschedule and was not given that opportunity. I was not even able to cancel the appointment. I was told I would be charged for the... more

My first visit was here today, bright and early in the morning. Located on the bottom floor of the Fairmont Hotel, this place is amazing. The space itself is beautifully decorated, bright and welcoming. The receptionist was super lovely- answered any of my questions and made me feel right at home even though I was still half asleep and rambling on about who knows what .

I saw Liz( a physio)... more

Specializing in rehabilitation, the Sitka wellness centre has it all! After a few treatments with Helen Ries (Physical Therapist) , which included manipulation and accupuncture. I started to feel better. What I love about Helen is that she does not make you feel like a PIN cushion. No one should feel like that!

Helen recommended the in house Pilate class with small props taught by Amari. Amari... more

One thing I appreciate about Sitka Physio and Wellness is that they offer yoga classes and personalized rehab/restorative strength training (with a registered Kinesiologist) in addition to their well-established physiotherapy services. I have been doing active rehab (for low back pain) with the Kinesiologist Clare Beary. She has been paramount in bringing the work I've done with physiotherapy... more

I had a very severe impinged nerve substantially restricting neck movement, I couldn't even lie down. Steve initially provided frequent treatment to improve mobility and, acupuncture to alleviate the 24hr pain. With "homework exercises" prescribed by Steve, the majority of the problem cleared up within 6 weeks. I was well "looked after" and would definitely return.

I couldn't believe how... more

I had a bad shin splint injury and decided to see Steve at Sitka. He was extremely helpful with my recovery- he knew exactly what my problem was and how to correct it. Along with acupuncture + massage therapy, he suggested a lot of different training exercises to target weak areas in my body which was great, since this will help long-term. I'm happy to say that my shins are feeling much better... more

Steve is like Jesus Jr. - he's a great health pro and he gets me feeling strong and active faster than you can say "miracle man"!

As an aspiring endurance athlete and adventure racer Steve Nairn at Sitka Physio has helped me bounce back better than anticipated from several injuries. I am now comfortably open water swimming distances greater than 2.5km without ever noticing that I had shoulder surgery. Great range of services in a friendly and relaxed environment.

I was hurt at work and didn't realize how bad things had gotten until I could not move or raise my arm at all. Steve my physiotherapist was able to get me back to great condition. he used acupuncture, therapy and heat to fix me up while being very patient with my condition. when I first went to see him I was wearing sunglasses because I was crying from the pain constantly. I highly recommend him.

I went to Royal Centre Physiotherapy today to begin treatment for an Achilles tendinitis I developed a month or so ago. I was recommended to go to this place by my friend Nelson D. and also by Yelper Mercedes G (after having read her review).

I made an appointment with Helen - we had e-mailed a few times before to come up with an appointment time and she always seemed nice and professional.

I'm not one to whine and moan about my issues, and you've already heard of my back maladies, but I haven't mentioned that they are no longer the issue they once were, due in part largely to Royal Centre Physiotherapy.

My Registered Physiotherapist and Certified Acupuncture Practitioner showed me basic but highly effective excercises that I could perform on my own in order to improve the... more
