Patient Reviews

  • Jennifer T

    “It was my first time there and the setup of the office and the workout area is amazing. They have all the equipment to help you get better, great one-on-one treatment. I've been to other kinesiologist and physiotherapist that dealt with more than one patient at a time constantly disappearing. David worked with me the whole time, I will recommend this place to anyone looking for their services.”

  • Mark L

    “David is a true professional and is incredible at his work, with his knowledge in kinesiology he was able to help me with a lingering Achilles issue and thanks to his insight I’ve gone months pain free, which has been life changing for me. I have also done a fascia stretching session with David and he was able to pinpoint my issues and alleviate a lot of tension for me, I highly encourage you to check out Proactive health for any Kin, RMT or FST as he and his team are outstanding!”

  • Tiffany T

    “Clean, bright, modern and comfortable facility. I came in for an introductory massage from Body Worker Trish and it was fantastic. She did a thorough assessment and worked on all the areas I requested and more. Highly recommend seeing her and trying this new facility out”

  • Patti B

    “First time to Proactive Health. Great location, easy parking! Beautiful atmosphere! I had the introductory massage with

    Bodyworker Trish Tan. She was amazing. Will be back again as well as recommending to others!”

  • George L

    “I had an incredible experience with my Kinesiologist at Proactive Health. Their personalized care and expertly tailored exercises not only helped me achieve my fitness goals but also significantly strengthened my overall physical well-being. Their friendly approach made every session enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking proactive health support!”

  • Loren D

    “I come in to Vancouver fairly frequently for work from Los Angeles. I suffer from a bit of sciatica and this place was recommended to me for FST. The services were great and the space is fantastic!! My son got a massage which he said was also very good. We will be back again every time we're in town. Comes with my highest recommendation.”

  • Eric K

    “I can’t speak highly enough about this place, the people, the facility and the work. I went to get an FST stretch with David after locking my hip, after 3 days of not being able to walk David’s therapy allowed me to go to work the next day. If you are looking for a comfortable environment to relax and feel better this is the place !”

  • Nina A

    “I have had FST sessions with David to help with my sciatic pain, and I was pleasantly surprised how great I felt physically and mentally after the sessions. My body and mind feels really well taken care of after the stretch techniques he uses. I used to go to physio in the past, and cancelled my physio sessions after feeling the benefits of FST. I was also really surprised how relaxing I felt where I had a great nights sleep (instead of being kept up by bad dreams) which is really rare for me. Definitely recommend this 1000%!”
