Dockside Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: My bike fit with Evan was fantastic. I've since been on several multi-day trips with long days in the saddle, and have not once been uncomfortable, which I didn't think was possible! Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Simply the worst physiotherapist clinic I have ever encountered anywhere.

Fantastic experience: I am skeptical about almost everything, but Dockside and Mary-Anne made a believer out of me ! I hadn't been to a physiotherapist in over 30 years, but the arthritis and plantar fasciitis in my foot was making life difficult, so Dockside was recommended to me by a co-worker. The results have been amazing. I am so appreciative of the help I've received, and everyone I've met there has been professional, friendly, and helpful. A huge thank you to Mary-Anne, and also to Kim an Cameron at the front for their courtesy and patience. Go see these fine people, you will not regret it. -Tony.

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne, thanks so much for all your help! I'm confident that without your help and expertise, my hip and back recovery would not have been anywhere near as quick as was possible with your help. With all due respect, I hope that I won't be needing your wonderful services again; but should it come up I know exactly where I will be going for my physiotherapy needs.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend dockside physiotherapy! The environment is warm and welcoming and the staff are kind, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Fantastic experience: The best! I've seen Nina and Bruce and they were both excellent. They fixed up my knee and shoulder

Fantastic experience: Evan provided me with a great bike fit. It really helped during races as I always felt comfortable and had no soreness. The run after the bike was more comfortable because of the bike fit. Best investment you can make to ensure you enjoy cycling for a long time

Fantastic experience: Great clinic with friendly and relaxed staff. Nina Bai has been treating my daughter for chronic dizziness and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is clearly very knowledgeable and her warm demeanor has made our visits stress free. Greatly recommend you see her for physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dockside Physiotherapy regularly for almost three months and working closely with Mary-Anne recovering from a back injury. It has been a great experience and I really value the entire team's professionalism and kindness as well as the great facilities. Thank you Dockside team.

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne was great. She took her time to treat my injury. Front office staff were enthusiastic. Very positive environment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, great location, friendly people. Maryanne has been fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Front desk staff were very helpful with the insurance stuff. Great reminders and pre appt check in communications. Evan got my very pain shoulder (rotary cuff) working with great treatments and simple follow up exercises. Great location and overall rating. If you need physio get it here!

Fantastic experience: The thumb on my "fret hand" had become very sore... to the point of seriously inhibited guitar playing (depressing at only 62 yo). While I've tried several so-called "remediating measures", none succeeded. I finally went to Dockside and was given a set of exercises to try. Based on prior experiences, I assumed they would yield nothing. I was wrong... to my great surprise they've helped immensely! Movement is still a bit limited, but pain has been attenuated much.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Wonderful workers...they all deserve a free trip to Hawaii...

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and knowledgeable staff! Definitely a professional but welcoming place! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The whole experience was exceptional! Right from the warm and cheerful receptionist to the amazing MaryAnn! Mary-Ann was knowledgeable and professional. Her approach was gentle and effective. She was able to address my issues and and gave me clear instruction on moving forward with my hip concerns. I highly recommend this Physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: Have been a couple of times and have only good things to say.

Fantastic experience: This is a solid clinic. Mary-Anne is an excellent physio and has made an amazing impact on my life. Who knew that my leg pain was just referred from my back! The work magic here. The operation is professional and quick. I appreciate how it's headache-free.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and helped me recover from major knee surgery

Fantastic experience: Was having some leg strain issues from riding my bike all the time. Had a bike fitting appointment with Evan. He made several adjustment to my bike and gave me some tips on how to ride more ergonomically. Haven't had any issues with my body since but the bike, well...

Fantastic experience: Went in because of a shoulder injury that was not healing on its own. Jeremy assessed the injury and offered a selection of exercises to help it recover. Following his instructions I recovered fully and have been enjoying several months pain free and with full range of motion. During the appointment he was personable and professional, putting me at ease through the process. All around a very positive experience

Fantastic experience: Cathy at Dockside helped me recover from a bout of sciatica. The clinic is well run and has caring staff. I will definitely go back there with any other physiotherapy needs.

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne is a great and thorough physiotherapist! The space is always clean and welcoming and the reception staff is always great! Definitely recommend:)

Fantastic experience: This is the first time I was ever asked what *I* was willing to do in terms of at home exercises which made it much less overwhelming and actually spurred me to do more. I have and will continue to recommend Dockside.

Fantastic experience: Not just a " Let's stick you on a machine" physiotherapist, more a let's find the problem and help you fix it yourself!

Fantastic experience: I forgot to mention her name Here, Mary-anne helped me recover from my back injury also My mom too from her Fracture.I already recommend to my Co-worker’s to visit Her .

Fantastic experience: Mary Anne is the best physiotherapist!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I hade a bike fit at Dockside with Jeremy Lynn. Jeremy was great at explains what he was doing and we got the bike set up properly for me. I have since transferred these settings to my second bike and have put on over 1000 km since the bike fit. Happy riding again without the aches and pains and numb hands I used to get. If anyone is interested in getting their bike set up correctly I highly recommend dockside Physio. I will be going there for any other Physio requirements if they should arise.

Positive experience: Really good place. Quick and easy to book on their website. They were 20 minutes late for my appointment so that's why it's 4* other than that it was great!

Fantastic experience: Mary-Anne Levson has been a great help and encouragement during my 4 month rehab from a broken leg earlier this summer. She is thorough and engaged, remembers all the shifts and improvements from visit to visit, and expert at identifying the areas to work on at each stage of the process. The team too have always been super friendly, efficient and helpful. I could not recommend the whole Dockside experience more!

Fantastic experience: Great friendly people that are willing to work with you at your level.

Fantastic experience: Met with Jeremy Lynn. He listened to my problem, gave me useful exercises and options to assist my recovery. Very professional. I also appreciated that the receptionist offered to direct invoice the cost to my extended health care provider.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff. Great follow-up emails with details to how to do exercises at home too.

Fantastic experience: Real progress being made in reducing back pain and mobility.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Good, knowledgeable professionals. Personal thanks to Evan Thomas!

Fantastic experience: Evan is an outstanding, knowledgeable practitioner, who takes the time to listen and assess. It is truly a partner relationship. The front desk staff is happy, friendly and helpful. The space is beautiful and super clean with lots of light.

Fantastic experience: I feel so very lucky to have crossed paths with Chris Lamb! Not only because he is such an exceptional physiotherapist, but also because he is such a kind, caring and sincere human being. I have seen Chris for a number of issues over the last few years, and I am always so impressed with his extent of knowledge and his ability to think completely outside the box. He is always learning and applying this knowledge to his practice; he's even doing some teaching! Chris has a very unique approach, he takes more time, and he follows up...I would recommend him 1000%

Fantastic experience: I met Evan and the team at Dockside Physio pre-spinal surgery and continued my therapy with them post surgery. I’ve received therapy from other physiotherapists prior to meeting Evan, however I’ve never connected with my therapists. It’s not easy to find the right person to help you when you’re dealing with physical pains or recalibrating your health. So finding the right person to help you navigate your journey is crucial. Evan is a great listener and also well versed in his practice. My treatments never felt like a cookie cutter solution. I felt better each time I visited the clinic and left with more knowledge and simple exercises that really worked for me. Having a great coach pre and post surgery and following Dockside’s exercises have kelp me healthy and injury free.

Fantastic experience: Evan has been practically a miracle work whenever I've needed treatment. He takes the time to really analyze what's wrong and zero in on the problem as well as formulating a series of stretches and exercises to alleviate the issue. I'm very happy with the level of service he provides and recommend him highly.

Fantastic experience: I have known Evan for a long time and he is an great guy and an even better physiotherapist. I have had neck and back issues and he has always helped me manage these injuries and comes up with new ways to help prevent further pain and discomfort. He doesn't automatically resort to the generic, traditional methods of physio because he tries to understand your unique body and create a treatment/program that works for you and your ailment, not others. Highly recommend him or anyone within his office!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for everyone at Dockside Green. I feel very safe and everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: My son and I have both been here for injury and pain issues. My son is a competitive hockey player and received excellent and informative treatment and injury prevention. I saw Evan for my pain difficulties and he is thorough and dedicated to solving the problem for you. I’d been to multiple places to try and find my issue and Evan had solutions after the first visit. Highly recommend dockside physio

Fantastic experience: Great place. They are extra helpful making sure you can do your exercises properly at home so you get the most out of your program.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy was amazing and helped me out a lot when I had neck surgery. Evan was great and patient with all my questions and provided me exercises that targeted my needs perfectly. The whole team are super friendly and welcoming. Always felt comfortable would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a physiotherapist. Thank you, keep up the good work!!

Fantastic experience: Evan is very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Positive experience: The physiotherapist was a good listener, caring, and knowledgeable. She helped me with my concern in just a handful of visits and set me up with exercises and stretches to continue to see improvements on my own. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because my appointment started 10 minutes plus late more than once.

Fantastic experience: Dockside physio was built with a clear focus on the responsibility to the environment and Evan and Cathy have carried this responsibility forward to care for their clients. They are kind, thorough and fun. I highly recommend visiting the clinic for your physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at Dockside Physiotherapy. Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent clinic, very clean, staff is friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs physio.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dockside Physio. I picked them simply for their location close to me when I had lower back pain after a bad fall and it turned out to be a great pick. Evan was thorough in his questioning and figuring out my situation and how to help. Thumbs up from me!

Fantastic experience: I saw both Evan and Chris in my time being a patient to dockside clinic and they were absolutely amazing to work with. The practitioners here go above and beyond to help you in every realm you made need, while keeping you educated and motivated without loosing hope. I appreciate how they view the whole body as a dynamic system versus just treating your shoulder. This will forever be my favourite clinic and it should be yours too

Fantastic experience: Amazing attitude and service…top notch!

Fantastic experience: I did pelvic floor Physio pre- and post-partum with Cathy and it was great. She taught me so much about my body, gave me exercises to do so I could have a safer birth experience, and helped me with recovery after. Will definitely see her again for my next pregnancy!

Fantastic experience: I went soon after Dockside Physio opened b/c I lived and worked by them. I also liked what they stand and how important community is to them. Evan is awesome...professional, listens (and remembers), and being active himself, he understands things from an exercise physiology standpoint as well as a physical anatomy view...which is important for me. I haven't needed his services for a while but will go out of my way to recommend him and his clinic to anyone I cross paths with. And I understand he has assembled quite the team there over the past couple year and he's able to branch out and offer services and specialties he wasn't able to offer when he was first starting out. I cannot recommend highly enough and feel very lucky that him and his team are in Vic West like me!

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Lovely! Super knowledgeable! Love them and really helped post-babe!

Fantastic experience: I worked with physiotherapist Chris Lamb, and he was terrific! He is very knowledgeable and skilled in his profession. We discussed my pain issues and goals, and he developed an exercise program that really worked for me. He really set me up to succeed, and I am very pleased with the progress I have made and continue to make. Thanks so much Chris!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. I was having painful periods and ovulation pain and the sessions were so helpful!

Fantastic experience: Saw Evan and he was awesome. Was willing to listen to my thoughts and offer his own opinions to help build the best plan. Very nice clinic and knowledgable staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been here several times and the physiotherapists that I have seen have been amazing so far. Location is great too

Fantastic experience: The fist Physio which did not ask me to come back every week. Evan assessed me with great accuracy, gave me homework to do and left it open for me to come back when needed. Overall a great experience, Thank You

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Cathy! Helped me get back to running again post-baby.

Fantastic experience: I visited Dockside for help with long-standing shoulder pain that hadn’t been resolved by my visiting physiotherapists at two other offices. At Dockside I received the personalized attention that I needed to develop an effective individualized plan to rebuild my strength. I am now back to normal activities, normal range of motion, and NO PAIN!

Fantastic experience: Lovely space, very clean. Your professionalism combined with your exceptionally warm, interested and caring manner and personality has struck me in the most positive way. I would, and have, refer all my friends and family to you anytime.

Fantastic experience: Evan is very knowledgeable, caring and willing to listen in order to address issues. Even went so far as to suggest exercises to do at home to help speed up recovery.

Fantastic experience: It was a completely positive experience. I highly recommend Dockside Physiotherapy to anyone in need of the services of a physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: Two years ago, Evan helped me recover from a badly sprained ankle, an injury that is notorious for recurring if not rehabilitated properly. I am so glad to say that my ankles are both stronger than ever due to the treatment and exercises Evan provided me with. If I have another injury, Dockside will be my first stop!

Fantastic experience: I went to Dockside Physiotherapy after tearing two tendons in my rotator cuff. Evan was fantastic, very knowledgeable and creative at customizing exercises to help me regain my lost mobility and strength. I particularly appreciate that he understood I couldn't afford a lengthy course of treatment and was willing to teach me exercises to do at home and let me check back in when I could. After a few months I was virtually pain free, and my shoulder had improved so much that an orthopedic surgeon told me there was no point in operating, the physio had made it as good as it could get. So thanks and high-fives (which I can actually do now!) to Evan and the other Dockside folks. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, kind, professional, and absolutely food at what they do. My body made shifts through blocks I’ve had for years. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for prenatal physio support, including pelvic health. I was experiencing pelvic pain for most of my pregnancy and after a few sessions and take home exercises, felt 100% better!

Fantastic experience: I found Mary-Anne greatly assisted my recovery from sciatica. The exercises she gave me, her wise counsel, and hands-on work were all of great benefit and I would happily see her again if needed.

Fantastic experience: I visited Dockside Physiotherapy on a work trip (pre-covid times) for a last minute appointment to work on healing after breaking my ankle. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and my practitioner was knowledgeable and hands on. My experience was great and I would likely have made them my regular physio had I lived in the area.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physio is one of our go to referral partners for UC Life. I met Evan just around the time that they opened Dockside and have been grateful to have them in the neighbourhood ever since. Evan and I have co-managed many cases over the years and I’ve been a patient of his for a shoulder injury as well. He’s the ultimate professional and not only did he solve my shoulder issues but he and others are Dockside have gotten rave reviews from our community of patients. I always feel confident sending referrals to Dockside and feel that they are a very trustworthy source for information and treatment. Dr Matthew Kittleson

Fantastic experience: Evan Thomas was an excellent physio in that he listened carefully to my symptoms, and then walked me through several treatments that turned out to be very effective. I felt as though I had been “heard.” He also provided several exercises that I could do at home to strengthen and rehabilitate. Overall, even in the middle of a pandemic, I was able to get the help I needed and felt as though I was truly cared for.

Fantastic experience: I have visited Dockside on various occasions and was seen by Chris. He is professional, thorough and explains what he is doing and the actions taken. Exercises provided were followed up by email which made it easy to remember and follow. The physio recommended helped and I found this to be a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physio has been my best experience of physiotherapy. I’ve seen Cathy and Evan for different injuries and issues and they have fixed every problem. I would recommend them to anyone and often do!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Cathy for years and she has helped me work through numerous injuries and discomforts. From a robust recovery program after a car accident, to getting me back on track to run an half marathon after I had torn my meniscus, to postpartum recovery - Cathy is full of knowledge and is always quick and professional when diagnosing an issue and coming up with a plan to heal. The office itself is open, spacious, and comfortable while having a focus on positive environmental impacts and inclusivity - would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and knowledgeable therapists, would recommend to anyone needing physio in Victoria

Fantastic experience: I was travelling when I suffered from frozen shoulder. They were able to fit me in quite quickly. Evan was so helpful in helping me manage the pain with wrapping the shoulder with k-tape and helped me get some movement back with the series of exercises he suggested.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy is absolutely amazing in every way. I have had the pleasure of working with Evan. Evan is super knowledgeable, kind, professional and assisted my healing journey profoundly, with his broad range of expertise, experience and kind, caring manner. I highly recommend this establishment and team to help you heal/recover to be your best self.

Fantastic experience: Dockside Physiotherapy was exactly what I needed when recovering from a fractured pelvis. Shawna new just what exercises to give me, and provided photos (rather than crudely drawn stick figures) to clearly illustrate what I should do. She was just as helpful for my shoulder injury, and I will certainly return if I have any physio needs in the future. First class!

Fantastic experience: I have been treated for a few different ailments and I keep going back. They thoroughly assessed each condition, informed me, and prescribed exercises that worked. Last time I was there was for a golf related hand injury and was able to return to sport within a few days. I also appreciate that they sent emails after our sessions to clarify, summarize, check up on me, etc...

Fantastic experience: Caring, family oriented facility and services. Cathy Stedman is not only a physiotherapist but has additional expertise and training that she brings to her clinical practice. She has brought us relief from back pain, rotator cuff issues, Spinal Stenosis, Overactive Bladder and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Fantastic experience: Super professional, friendly and provide a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: My physiotherapist, Chris, was great. He fixed my long-term shoulder pain so I could play volleyball again while the others could not.

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant space and staff. The session was really focused, and I came away with a few exercises that made my issue go away!

Fantastic experience: Cathy was amazing! She was there for me at the beginning of Covid. It was impossible to find a Physio in person and Dockside was ahead of the curve and up and running online. She gave me fantastic support and advice via Zoom and was extremely personable. I would highly recommend her and Dockside Physio.

Fantastic experience: Have nothing but good things to say about Dockside Physiotherapy. The care I've received has been excellent. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: The staff are very kind and helpful. Cathy was accurate and precise with her assessment and treatment recommendations were flexible and manageable. I also liked that they weren’t over rushed and were on time for appointments!!

Fantastic experience: Great place. My physiotherapist is Jeremy and he's always been very helpful and understanding. The staff at the front are also very nice and welcoming when I go in. Definitely recommend choosing Dockside physiotherapy!

Fantastic experience: MaryAnn helped me regain the mobility of my hand after I broke my wrist. She did so well! I was able to go back to work, hairdressing, within 2 months, with MaryAnns help. Between the surgeon, and MaryAnn at Dockside Physiotherapy, I have almost complete mobility again. That girl is amazing!

Fantastic experience: I was really impressed by my physiotherapist at Dockside Physiotherapy. He was knowledgeable, gave me treatment that really helped and exercises for me to do at home. I will definitely go back the next time I get injured.
