Services and Treatments
Movement Performance & Health: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I am a recent client of Nara Rai and have been seeing him since September after searching for a suitable therapist for a couple of months. I have to say, this is the best massage I have received in the past 10 years. Nara is very professional and provides an incredibly deep massage with attention to every muscle. His technique involves slow, deep movements that lead to significant muscle release. This has been one of the best experiences I've had in Calgary in terms of massage therapy. My hips and shoulders feel much more relaxed after his sessions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a deep tissue massage.
Thank you Zana for your kind words. Nara is an amazing member of the team at Movement Performance& Health. He is very detailed in his treatment and provides great sports and deep tissue massage.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of experiencing a massage session with Nara and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. Nara’s professionalism and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease upon arrival. He exuded a sense of tranquility and expertise that instantly made me feel confident in his abilities. Thank you so much Nara. I will see you again soon.
Thank you Genevie for your kind words. Nara is very experienced and effective massage therapist that has great results. See you soon.
Negative experience: Poor management.
Fantastic experience: Starting coming here over a year ago after reading some of the reviews. Dr Lawson is a great dr. I was treated with respect and every treatment has been very helpful. I always feel so much better after leaving the office and have been recommending it since the start.
Thank you! Dr. Lawson is an amazing chiropractor with over 40 years of experience. Thank you for recommending Movement Performance and Health!
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient at Movement Performance & Health for a few years now, and I can't recommend them enough. Dr. Brar-Hayer is truly exceptional and a master at her craft. I walked into the clinic yesterday with a strain in my back that I have been suffering through since the previous Monday. The pain was so debilitating it was hard to pick up my 4 mo baby. Today I have much more mobility, and the pain is nearly gone. The entire team at MPH is consistently friendly and professional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. Each staff member I have seen from chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture have all been great, its always a positive experience. If you're in need of chiropractic or massage therapy, I highly recommend MPH Chiropractic & Massage Clinic. Dr. Brar-Hayer and her team are simply fantastic!
Thank you Tanis for your kind words and trusting us at Movement Performance & Health with your healthcare. Everyone from massage, acupuncture, and chiro love working with active moms and weekend warriors.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Bria Kloppenborg played a crucial role in resolving my dizziness. She quickly identified the root of my problem and approached it with great compassion and consideration. Furthermore, we have been diligently working to restore the strength in my knee and lower back so that I can resume running. Her support and inspiration gave me a fresh spark of confidence in tackling this issue. Movement Performance & Health is my preferred source for reliable guidance on health and wellness.

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Bria for some recent low back disc problems that I have been dealing with after a workout injury. After only a week of treatment I have already experiencing a dramatic drop in my pain levels. After not being able to exercise for the past couple weeks she has already gotten me back to gym and doing the things I love! I would recommend her to anyone experiencing similar issues.
Thank you Lori. Dr. Bria has extensive schooling in treating low back disc and sciatica concerns. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with chronic hockey injuries in relation to my hip and wrist and decided to book an appointment with Dr. Bria. I couldn't be more impressed with the care I received. She was very thorough in her diagnosis and really took the time to carefully explain everything. It was really refreshing to work with a practitioner who really values educating their patients and making me feel like a top priority the entire time.
Thank you Mike for your review. Dr. Bria is an amazing asset and member of the MPH health team. She loves working with athletes to get them back to their sport and regular activities as quick as possible.
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience with Dr. Kloppenborg when I hurt my neck. She's is very knowledgable and thorough in the care that she provides. She helped me get back to feeling better again and provided me with lots of exercises to continue to rehab my injury. I would highly recommend her and this clinic!!
Thank you for your review Carly. Dr. Bria is an amazing practitioner and a great team member at MPH.
Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my experience at this clinic! Dr. Bria worked with me to make a specific exercise protocol to heal my back injury. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and emailed me to check in/ask if I had any questions or concerns.
Dr. Bria is very knowledgeable and is very caring. Thank you Chloe for your kind words.
Positive experience: Love that they have online booking! It is so helpful to not have to call to book during business hours. Have enjoyed all the treatments I have had so far. Clean and professional.
Thank you Jen!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff! Great Service! I always feel as though the employees are going above and beyond for their clients and patients!
Thank you! The team at MPH love what they do and our goal is to get you moving better:)
Fantastic experience: Claudia gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had! I genuinely felt better after one session with her and will continue to go to her moving forward. She used the perfect amount of pressure the whole time, her technique was so relaxing and I loved the use of heat to relax the muscles. Highly recommended!!
Thank you Rachelle for your kind words. Claudia is an amazing massage therapist.
Fantastic experience: I gave up ordinary massage for years until I found Shelly Hoffart in Movement Performance & Health. Shelly has an unique way to work on tight muscles, everytime my body feel so relief, my neck can move and turn without any pulling afterwards. I feel so relax for days and even my sleep quality has improved:) Also Jamie the receptionist is friendly, pleasant and helpful!!
Thank you! Shelley is an amazing massage therapist and great asset to the health team at MPH. We also think our office manager Jamie is great! Thank you again for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Great clinic, everyone is very friendly! Shout out to massage therapist Shelley. She is the best therapist I have found for my body. She knows how the body moves and where to release tension so I can move properly again. After seeing her my yoga is better, I recover from gym workouts quicker and I feel so calm. I highly recommend Shelley!
Thank you Karen for your kind words. Shelley is a great massage therapist and vital member of the MPH team with over 10 years of experience.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! I honestly didn't think that it would be this quick to see and feel results. I woke up one morning with shooting pain radiating from my neck down my shoulder, arm, and onto my fingertips. Constant numbness and tingling. The pain level was between 9-10. After seeing my doctor the problem was a C5 and C6 nerve impingement. Go see a good chiropractor was what I was told. My wife had suggested Dr. Hayer of her previous experience at Movement Performance & Health. Dr. Hayer was great. Being that this was my first time seeing a chiropractor I had some reservations as to what to expect. Not only did Dr. Hayer say she would fix me up but she also listened to my concerns and eased any apprehensions that I might have about seeing her during this process. After a few sessions, my pain level dropped to 5-6 from 9-10. Dr. Hayer suggested also incorporating acupuncture and deep tissue massage to speed up the whole recovery and healing process. I had the whole team working on me. Acupuncture was done by Alyssa Cochrane who is just as skilled in her craft as Dr. Hayer. She also helped me with some digestive issues that I did not know I had. Deep tissue massage was by Sarah Joyce who has amazing hands and knowledge of seeking that spot that needs to be broken down to heal quicker. All three are an amazing team of ladies to who I have the utmost respect and would not hesitate to recommend anyone who is looking for pain management and better quality of life. Thank you once again to these amazing ladies.
Thank you Bobby for your kind words. The team at MPH love working with athletes like yourself so we can get you back to training and doing what you love.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and extremely clean inside! Always happy and feeling amazing after visiting. Special thanks to Sarah who i always book in with!
Thank you for your kind review. Sarah is an amazing massage therapist and team member at MPH.
Fantastic experience: Amazing clinic, best doctors, therapists and staff! We were referred here by my sister to come and see Dr. Brar- Hayer (Madhu), and we will never go anywhere else. She helped my daughter with a sports injury, as well as squeezing me in when I injured my back. My whole family also sees a few of the massage therapists, and they are so knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with ongoing care. I will recommend this clinic whenever I can. Thanks for all you do MPH!
Thank you Jenn!

Fantastic experience: First time being to this practice. I was customer service was wonderful. Cillian is an incredible Student Massage Therapist with a wealth of knowledge. He made me feel comfortable and worked on everything I wanted. I have never had a Massage Therapist work on my traps like he did. It was incredible!

Thank you Allyssa for your kind words. Cillian is MPH’s newest team member and we agree…he is amazing! See you soon.

Great clinic
Thank you Morgaine! Natalie is an amazing massage therapist and great asset to the Movement Performance Team. Jamie (our office manager) is the kindest human! See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of seeing Dr Cochrane a handful of times now for acupuncture and have enjoyed the experience every time! I appreciate that she always takes time to get a full update from me on how things are going and puts such care into formulating a treatment plan. Dr Cochrane doesn't just focus on the main reason why I've come to see her, she looks at my body as a whole and treats it accordingly. I enjoy that she explains why she chooses each site/what its purpose is as it helps me get a better picture of what my body needs. I would definitely recommend Dr Cochrane and the MPH team to others!!
Thank you Shawna for your kind words. Dr. Cochrane is amazing at personalizing all her patient’s treatment plans for optimal results.

Thank you Justin. Everyone at MPH is here to help! Jensen is an amazing massage therapist that is a key member of our health team.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cochrane has helped me with breathing and arthritic issues. I have found that she has helped more with my respiratory health than any medication that has previously been added to my regime. When I first saw Dr. Cochran my wrists were so sore with arthritis that I couldn’t even pull up the blankets in bed. After one treatment I am happy to say I could cover myself up in bed that night.
Thank you Debbie. Dr. Cochrane is an amazing practitioner and a vital member of the MPH team.
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Dr Hayer's for over 10 years and she has amazing insight to keep me injury free. I highly recommend her and anyone I have had treatment from on her team . Recently I have seen both Sarah and Jensen for massages which have been great.
Thank you, Amy, for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to the whole MPH team for taking care of our family. We’ve been with Dr Hayer for over a decade, our kids (6&8) know when it is time to ask for a treatment, we have all seen many of the practitioners on the team, and we would refer anyone who is looking for wellness support to visit the clinic for help.
Thank you, Elizabeth! We love seeing your whole family for your healthcare needs.
Positive experience: The services provided were above average and I have a very good perspective of physio places. I seem to get a lot of junk e-mail from them offering services I would not need even years after I have unsubscribed. And the latest offer of a cheap massage did not even have an unsubscribe.
Thank you for letting us know you are still receiving emails. We will correct this immediately. Could you please email [email protected] and we will remove your email right away.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lawson is amazing. Does miracle work on my sore back.
Thank you Kyle for your kind words.

I have long history with massage therapy and they are the best. I can highly recommend Movement Performance and Health.
Thank you Zsuzsanna for your kind words!

Jensen is the best massage therapist I have visited! She is amazing in what she does and I feel relaxed and pain-free after every visit! Highly recommend seeing her for massage therapy!
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I've personally been helped by Dr. Brar-Hayer as a university athlete, and she is professional, personable, and beyond knowledgeable. She helped us get through three full days straight of rowing, insuring we were prepared to compete. I've also been helped by both David Sanda and Shelley Hoffart, and they are by and far the best massage therapists I've seen. They gave the perfect amount of pressure (a lot) and worked exactly what needed to be massaged based on how my body was feeling. Overall, clean, friendly, and exactly what you need.
Thank you Rebecca! It’s been an amazing time working with you and your team. Good luck getting even smarter in Europe!
Positive experience: The staff are very kind, professional and personable. The wide range of skills and knowledge in the company make treatment effective and efficient. Movement has been key for my performance as an athlete!
Thank you Carli! At Movement Performance & Health we love working with high level athletes like you.
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to this clinic through their support of the University of Calgary Dinos Rowing Team. MPH is an amazing clinic with super accommodating staff and a wide variety of services. Dr. Madhu Brar-Hayer (the owner) has truly created an incredibly friendly and comforting atmosphere in her clinic and I always know when I walk through the doors I am about to be very well taken care of. I have been seeing Dr. Samantha de Castro as my regular chiropractor for about a year and half and she always knows just exactly how to fix whatever is wrong every time I see her. I recommend this clinic to all of my Calgary friends and family.
Thanks Ariana! We look forward to working with you and the other athletes at University of Calgary this upcoming season.
Fantastic experience: I've had massages and chiropractic treatments from many different therapists at MPH and they've all been very helpful. From hip, back, and wrist pain brought on through sport they've known what to do to help me recover quickly and get back to being active again!
Thanks Courtney for your kind words. We are here to help.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend MPH for a variety of services. I've been seeing Dr. Hayer (chiro) and Shelley Hoffart (massage) for well over a year and their services are amazing. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, as well as they truly try to help you with any issues you've been having. I've been treated for sports injuries, musculoskeletal problems, and general aches/pains and I truly cannot say enough positive things about their diagnostics and treatments.
Thank you Aiden for your kind review. We love seeing and working with you and your fellow UofC Rowers.
Fantastic experience: Excellent team! I got connected through Dino's rowing and had a really good experience with them. I had a few appointments with Dr Madhu as well as one of the massage therapists, both of them did a really good job. I've had quite a few chiros and massage therapists and both of them outperformed many of the ones I've had. Would highly recommend.
Thanks Josiah! See you on the water soon.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Movement Performance and Health was nothing short of wonderful. The staff and team members at this facility are so kind, offering warm and supportive suggestions and services to those who come to them seeking help. I started my wellness journey with MP&H as I was experiencing severe, lower back pain. I began getting massage, from David, who was very professional and polite. Although the massage treatments were very helpful, I found that the pain needed a different type of management moving forward. Enter, Dr. Cochrane with acupuncture. She kept detailed notes of every appointment I had with her, and was beyond accommodating and professional with her explanations and services. She would make sure that I was as comfortable as possible, mentally and physically. She made me feel heard, respected and safe. I did a handful of treatments with her, once per week, until I moved. My back pain was beginning to get better and I was gaining my mobility back! If I did not have to move for work, I would continue treatment with her until the day I died. 11/10 would recommend this facility to anyone seeking their treatments/services!!!
Thank you Meaghan! Both David and Dr Cochrane are a huge asset to the team at MPH.
Fantastic experience: Dr. De Castro has magic hands! Highly recommend, especially after a year of working from home.
Thank you Iain! Dr de Castro is here to get you moving with her 'magic hands'
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr. Samantha de Castro for chiropractic care. I have had a bad experience where I was injured at a chiropractor in the past, so I was very nervous to visit a chiropractor again. Dr. de Castro completely changed my perception. She took the time to assess my issues, listen to my concerns, and has been so gentle with me. If you are at all hesitant about trying out chiropractic care, I would highly recommend Dr. de Castro.
Thank you Jessica for your kind words. Dr de Castro is a great asset to the team at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sarah Joyce if you need a massage. Really friendly to talk to and a pure pro if you have tightness or pulls that you need worked out. The whole experience is excellent and leaves you feeling light and relaxed after.
Thank you Bob for your great review of Sarah. She is an amazing therapist at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: Movement is an incredible clinic and Dr. Madhu Brar-Hayer is a phenomenal practitioner. I see her for my back and ribs, and her adjustments make a huge difference in my training. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and knows exactly what needs to be fixed, even before I know it myself. They have an excellent COVID protocol and I always feel safe at the clinic. Highly recommended!
Thank you Hannah for your kind words. We love see you and all the other University Rowers in the clinic. Our goal is to keep you moving and healthy.
Fantastic experience: I see Dr. Cochrane , Dr. Sam and Sarah regularly and don't know what I would do without them.
Thank you Michele! Our team at Movement Performance & Health work together to keep you moving!
Fantastic experience: I came here, for the first time, for a massage due to a sore back. I knew about it since I work nearby. The booking process was super easy and online which meant you could fill in your info before hand. The location was clean and followed excellent COVID protocol. The receptionist was quick to greet you and was super friendly. My RMT was Amanda and she did an excellent job helping me and was very professional as well as nice. I look forward to seeing her again. Definitely recommend coming here!
Thank you for your kind words. At Movement Performance & Health we pride ourselves in going above and beyond to put your health as our top priority. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Sarah Joyce is absolutely incredible! I’ve followed her from her past clinic and she’s so worth it. Extremely friendly reception and beautiful clinic!
Thank you Chelsea! Sarah is an amazing therpist at Movement Performance &Health with great hands (and elbows)!
Fantastic experience: One word to sum up Movement Performance & Health.. Amazing!!! I knew right when I walked in that this was a place that will do wonders for me. It started with Jamie at the front desk who is very friendly, helpful and always greets me with a smile (behind the mask of course) I have been seeing Samantha de Castro (Chiropractor) who has been absolutely amazing! She’s very thorough, attentive, cheerful, optimistic and knowledgeable. I truly cannot say enough! I was going to another chiropractor before her and I did not feel I was being heard or treated properly and I almost gave up on chiro, but Samantha has completely given me a different perspective and I am forever grateful for how quickly she has turned my injuries around! Because they have made me feel so comfortable and confident that I will be receiving the best possible treatment I have now begun taking advantage of the other services they provide. I had an incredible massage from Amanda who made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and she really focused on those problem areas with such detail! I cannot wait to go back! They have so many incredible services that they can provide and they encourage you to do so. The communication, professionalism and open atmosphere they have has been so reassuring that I am exactly where I need to be!
Thank you for your kind words. The team at Movement Performance & Health love working together to reach the optimal health results for all our patients/clients.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hayer and her team are amazing and always put the well being and safety of their patients first. When visiting the clinic you feel safe and can see their enhanced cleaning and safety protocols in action. The clinic is also spacious and provides for easy social distancing. I recommend Movement Performance & Health to anyone that will listen to me!
Thank you Ryan! We have implemented the highest safety measures to keep the Movement Performance & Health community safe.
Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience with Dr. Cochrane. She makes me feel welcomed and cared for. She provides thorough treatments and focuses on my concerns. I feel that acupuncture and cupping with Dr. Cochrane improves my range of motion and aids in my pain recovery.
Thanks Jenna! Dr Cochrane is a great asset to the team at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: Movement Performance & Health (Dr. Brar-Hayer) was referred by a friend and I'm so glad I booked a treatment with her. She was able to quickly assess the reason for my pain and deliver a treatment that helped almost immediately. The tips provided to help heal my old injury to optimize well being is very much appreciated. The office is very clean and closely following COVID19 protocols. I felt very safe and comfortable. Looking forward to my next visit and continuing to feel better. Thank you.
Thank you Lauretta for your review. At Movement Performance & Health all of our practitioners’ strive to get you better. Our primary goal is to keep you safe and healthy!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Madhu Brar-Hayer for chiropractic treatments for many years. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I believe in maintenance rather than waiting for an injury and expecting relief from one treatment. I would highly recommend anyone to book an appointment and truly see what a great chiropractor she is. You won't be disappointed. I also have regular Massages with Shelley and once again I would encourage you to book in with her. She is amazing.
Thanks for your kind words, Carl.
Fantastic experience: The massage therapists are all great at Movement Performance and Health! They ask me what I would like focused on for a treatment and provide me exactly what I requested. I feel very safe there as their cleaning protocols go above and beyond the requirements. I highly recommend them!
Thank you for taking the time to review Movement Performance and Health. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy!
Fantastic experience: Great, responsive clinic. I have had chiro and massage here — both the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this clinic. There isn’t a problem I’ve had that they haven’t relieved
Thank you, June!
Fantastic experience: I love the staff here! It's also a very clean and welcoming environment.

I look forward to my bimonthly appointments and can’t say enough good things about this clinic.
Thanks Michelle! We look forward to seeing you and all our amazing clients.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful practitioners that do amazing work, super helpful and friendly front desk staff and really simple online booking process. 5 stars!
Thanks Christie for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Hayer for several years now. She is very knowledgeable and constantly advancing on this. The office is clean and very friendly. The services I have received from her are always exceptional and often up and above what I expect! Have had other services there as well and all were exceptional. Go see them! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Beverly! We always look forward to seeing you and appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I see Dr. Hayer every few weeks to work on my back and she's amazing, she is super welcoming and experienced. I usually do a dual appointment (massage/chiro), I've seen three different massage therapists and they are all amazing. The massages at MPH are the best I've received.
Thanks Mikaela for taking the time to review us. We love seeing you and helping you with all your body aches.
Fantastic experience: I would give 10 stars if I could. From the booking process right through to the overall treatment, everything is the highest of quality. Dr. Madhu Brar-Hayer is a miracle worker. I literally couldn’t move my arm above my shoulder and was panicking as I had a big athletic event coming up the next day. Dr. Madhu was able to schedule me in, pinpoint the problem and fix it almost instantaneously with personalized treatment. Her skills/knowledge mixed with her use of the latest technologies and science make Movement Performance and Health the ideal destination for anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being!!
Thank you Ryley for your 5 star review. Dr. Hayer loves working on shoulders and getting all her patients back to sport and activities as soon as possible.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Madhu for my shoulder pain for a few months now and each time I leave it feels better than the last. Dr. Madhu creates a very welcoming environment with her kindness and the genuine care she has for her patients. I have also received a massage from Shelley who is wonderful and makes the experience very enjoyable. I highly reccomend Movement Performance & Health for anyone struggling with injuries or pain, they have many different forms of treatments to choose from as well!
Thank you Racquel! At Movement Performance and Health we all love seeing student athletes from all the surrounding post secondary schools. We are happy to see your throwing arm respond to our treatments.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Alyssa Cochrane for a couple months, mostly for general health, but when I woke up with a really bad neck pain she was able to see me that day and treated it with acupuncture and cupping. She is quick to see patients and cares a lot about listening to her patients and treating them effectively and efficiently. If you're new to this clinic, I highly recommend you book with Dr. Cochrane!
Thank you Casey for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Super fun doctors that actually care! (Don’t find a lot of those in Calgary). Dr. Madhu is an amazing chiropractor, she helped me recover from a sprained and strained ankle in a matter of weeks, and I’m back playing sports as good as ever. I have also gotten great massages from David and acupuncture!
Thanks Mariana for the kind words. All of us at Movement Performance & Health are happy that you are healthy and back to playing Rugby with the UofC woman’s varsity team.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cochrane is an acupuncture miracle worker! She creates a very calming atmosphere. The treatments are showing long term results. Forever grateful for her expertise and treatments with helping address my health.
Thank you! Dr. Cochrane is a great practitioner and an asset to the team at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: If you need a message that makes a difference ask for Shelly, this lady knows her stuff. Hands down the best message in the city, I usually have a tight back but notice a difference right away after one session with her, my knots are gone and I feel so much better. Thanks Shelly.
Thanks Samara! Shelley is amazing and an asset to MPH. She has over 15 years of hands on experience.
Fantastic experience: Great place to get treatments! I received a combo treatment of chiro and massage and it was incredible! I saw Jensen for massage and Dr. Samantha de Castro for chiro. I left there feeling absolutely amazing! Jensen was able to get to those tough spots and work through them. Dr. de Castro is gentle but strong and provides great care and information about health (and BONUS - her specialty is pregnancy). They also do direct billing to most insurances which is very convenient for me. Overall - 100% recommend.
Thanks Jamie!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Hayer and her team for years. Always professional and I always come away happy with the result if not a bit taller. Cannot recommend her services enough. Sarah the RMT is fantastic if you want to get someone to dig in there and feel amazing! Strong hands for the win.
Thank you Teighan! Our team of practitioners love working together to get you better.
Fantastic experience: Go see Sarah Joyce for your massages. She's the best!
Thanks Brenna! Sarah is an amazing therapist and a great asset at MPH
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to MPH because I can get treatment for chiro and massage in the same place. Their staff is very friendly and very good at what they do. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived!
Thanks Anna! We love working with you and the rest of the University of Calgary Rowing athletes.
Fantastic experience: This is the place to be! I go for hypnotherapy. I would encourage those to leave all skepticism behind. It’s the real thing. I went there as a relatively lost person, emotionally drained and no path in sight. Jasmin is amazing. She is highly qualified and professional. She genuinely cares. I always found it hard to try new things such as hypnotherapy, but this is the reason my life is moving forward. Give it go. It’ll literally change your life.
Thank you Michael for your kind words. We agree Jasmin is an amazing part of the team at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: As a new client, I have felt so welcomed at MPH. I have been receiving treatment from two different doctors, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with them both. Dr. Alyssa Cochrane has been treating some of my anxiety, mental health woes, and muscle tension with acupuncture and cupping. Every visit she makes sure to check up on how I reacted to the previous treatment and adjusts the needle locations and treatment style based on my responses. She is kind, friendly, well-humoured, and makes the experience of being poked very calming. She is knowledgeable, and whenever I ask her about why she's activating a certain point on my body she explains the meridian it's on or what the intended result is for each point she is poking. I love being able to understand what my doctor is doing and why, and Dr. Alyssa is very patient and thorough in explaining her profession to someone who does not come from a medical background. I find the results for my mental health and digestive are almost instantaneous. Dr. Sam de Castro was able to fit me in to her schedule flexibly, and is very kind, upbeat, and professional. During the initial assessment she listened to my needs and was able to pin point a pain in my lower-back that my massage therapist had not been able to identify, and she set up a plan for us to address that, among other issues I have in my back/neck. I love the use of the electrical muscle stimulation and heat at the beginning of the appointment, and that she comes back part way through to allow you to up the level so you can get the most benefit. She is very professional, cheerful, welcoming, and allows me to feel comfortable in her space. I have had two adjustments from her, and have booked in for more because I can already feel the change in my posture and pain management.
Thank you for your kind words. Dr de Castro and Dr Cochrane are an amazing part of our team at Movement Performance & Health.
Fantastic experience: I went to my first acupuncture appointment with Dr. Alyssa Cochrane to treat my severe seasonal allergies. She did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable and calming my nervousness. My symptoms are also already more under control and I really recommend this for anyone suffering from allergies.
Thank you. Dr Cochrane is a great asset to the team and MPH.
Fantastic experience: For those who haven't tried hypnotherapy, I highly recommend Jasmin Duesterhoeft. I started seeing Jasmin 3 weeks ago now, and I can honestly say that she has had a very significant impact on my life. She has gone above and beyond my expectations and has continuously supported me throughout our sessions. My experience with her has been phenomenal.
Thank you Lubna. Jasmin is very passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about all her clients.
Fantastic experience: Welcoming, peaceful and spa-like atmosphere. I have always been nervous about massage, but today I finally gave it a try. It was amazing, thank you Sarah, I haven’t felt this good in a long time. I think I’m hooked.
Thank you Nelia for your kind words. Sarah is an amazing member of the MPH team and we strive to make everyone comfortable when coming into the clinic.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Brar-Hayer is more than a practitioner of chiropractics, she treats the whole person. She takes your personal goals and interests to heart when treating you with a very individualized approach. She is very accommodating with her appointments and treatments. She is an active listener and provides up to date information and activities to improve your overall health. Her modern facilities are welcoming and spacious, with a strong emphasis on cleanliness in light of our current COVID state. Highly recommended everyone within her clinic.
Thank you! We have a great team at MPH and love what we do.
Fantastic experience: The chiropractors at this clinic are amazing! I had years of neck pain and after 1 session I had relief. After 2 sessions, it was completely gone. My two athletic children have also gone for foot pain, shoulder injuries, massages and neck pain. Absolutely love this clinic!
Thank you, Bobbi.
Positive experience: Overall good service and friendly staff
Thank you Daniel! See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Madhu is an amazing chiropractor. She is thorough and knows how to explain what is going on so you understand and learn more about your own body! Madhu is also super kind and fun to talk with, I always feel better after seeing her. I highly recommended her for all your aches and pains!
Thanks Elana!
Fantastic experience: My son and I have been seeing Dr. Hayer on and off since 2016. My son (13 years old) is an active athlete who has struggled with plantar fasciitis and other ailments related to sport. I have struggled with sciatic and neck pain in the past. I had been seen by other Chiropractors before, but none were able to provide the relief that Dr. Hayer was able to do, in such a short period of time. She is knowledgeable in so many areas, and does everything to provide a positive experience. She educates you on your injury and supports you from the moment you walk in, to your last session. Movement Performance & Health has everything all in one location. From Acupuncture to custom orthotics and everything an athlete or the “averge person” needs in between can all be found in one convenient location. Dr. Hayer and her team take such pride in their work. The atmosphere at the clinic is calming, and it has always been a pleasure to be a patient of Dr.Hayer’s. I highly recommended Movement Performance & Health!
Thank you for your kind review Amy! The health team at Movement Performance & Health love working with young athletes and their families.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional staff. Madhu is the best chiropractor out there. Spends quality time with clients and thorough in her diagnosis and treatment. Has been top notch following relaunch, safe, clean and careful. Would highly recommend this clinic!
Thank you Laurel. We hope to see you soon.
Fantastic experience: This is a very nice clean clinic which is taking every precaution for Covid 19. Dr. de Castro is amazing she is very friendly and very professional.
Thank you Lara for the kind words. We love Dr de Castro’s energy and kindness. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely picky with deep tissue massages as I find most "deep tissue massage" not hard enough or the technique to be fine tuned. Shelley's professional style of deep tissue massage is gentle, patient and by the time she irons out your muscles knots my muscles have surrendered. I walk out more rested than any night's sleep. I have been following her for the last decade.
Thank you Jason. Shelley is an amazing and talented part of the team at Movement Performance & Health. See you soon.
