Lindsay has been helping me out with my back since I was hit by a car a couple of years ago. Her knowledge and passion regarding needling/cupping is second to none. And her enthusiasm and smile make coming to the office a pleasure. Can’t recommend her enough.

Getting back into an exercise routine is tough- and very sore! I hit it way too hard and my legs/calves/shins/ankles were in full revolt! Walking was tender and easy movement restricted. Booked a massage with Bret Van Kannel and through a mix of deep tissue and active release, I feel renewed (well,24 hours later!) and ready for round two – but more sensibly this time!

After trying both physiotherapy and massage therapy for sciatic pain with disappointing results, I tried acupuncture. And I just recently finished five acupuncture treatments with Demi Palmer at Equilibrium. Demi is a gentle, skilled practitioner. She demonstrated compassion toward me and interest in my problem. But perhaps most importantly, the treatments work. Demi encouraged me to set a goal at the beginning of our treatment (half-an-hour of pain-free walking) and I have surpassed that goal. She explained everything fully, asked questions of me to determine treatment, and answered all of my questions. She even provided follow up emails twice–once after a session that ended up triggering strong emotions. She just wanted to check out how I was feeling. She is genuinely kind. I was surprised at how much I love acupuncture. Although there is some discomfort involved, overall the needling sensations are delicious and lying on the heated bed is very relaxing. I walk away feeling that healing has taken place. I highly recommend Demi and Equilibrium (the front desk staff are friendly and helpful). I had an extremely positive experience.

Alex Bagley was a great fit for me in physio – while getting me on a great rehabilitation program I found him a rather friendly, informative, and compassionate person!

I recently received five treatments from Sonal for a lower back injury. I found her to be the most knowledgeable therapist I’ve ever been treated by. Her extensive knowledge and experience of the back and spine and her thorough explanation of her procedure, gave me confidence and assurance that I would totally recover from my injury. She uses a safe, gentle approach to slowly improve and heal and not cause re injury. I highly recommend Sonal and will certainly use her services again if needed. The clinic is very professional and the receptionists are wonderful. Exceptional!

I can’t say enough about these wonderful, skilled, intentional people! Dr. Bijman worked with me through my work-related incident and was the first chiropractor that actually spent more than 45 min taking detailed notes, asking great questions, giving me researched opinions and resources. He was amazing with his care, putting a heat pack on my back to losses my muscles before giving me treatment. He also worked with me in the gym to give me specific exercises but not too many, just enough to target my area of need. He also wrote extra reports to support my WCB claim. I highly recommend him and I do so after having several different chiropractors in Victoria. And I would be silly not to take a moment to recognize the amazing office staff. The ladies at the front are the kind hearted captains of this finely tuned ship. They are authentic to talk with, and amazing with paperwork, follow up emails, and phone calls. The place wouldn’t run the same without them. (And they always made sure the place was looking like a rest haven and the Silk Road tea was ready for you when you got there!) Amazing!

This place is wonderful. So peaceful and relaxing. I had the best massage today and feel amazing! I will definitely be going back very soon. I have been to their Yates Street location in the past and it was also 5 stars for sure! I highly recommend visiting them to fix whatever ails you. Travis rocks!

Well decorated office with personable and helpful staff. Always has a pot of brewed tea for customers to enjoy, as well as some dark chocolates on the desk. Comfortable seating in the waiting room and some of the most delightful massage tables I’ve come across. If you need heated everything, they have it. The table articulation adds a greater degree of comfort.
10/10 will go again.

Had an amazing experience at Equilibrium today! Great atmosphere and customer service from start to finish. I can’t recommend Travis Davison highly enough. He was awesome! Really listened to my issues and made sure to focus on the areas I needed work on. Already booked my return visit. Well done Travis!!

Ashley is the first RMT I’ve ever seen who has actually listened to what’s bothering me every time and addressed it! She’s lovely and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks to the whole Equilibrium team!

Dear Victor, I must tell you without blushing that I love you….and so does my husband, Gus. We drove today to Tofino and the drive went so well with me having little pain and no problems. I do thank you so much for the great help you gave me yesterday or I would have never made it today. Thank you. Regards,
Pamela
My son and I were in a MVA recently. We have been to Equilibrium for several sessions. The comfortable space, calming music and tea combined with a great model of care and very professional therapists – makes each visit a great experience and has helped me and my son begin to feel better.

Brenda – as always – u guys offer a great service and I have had a number of therapists at Equilibrium – I have never had a bad experience – yesterday I came in because of an injury – I am a little tender today but vastly improved – I am reminded that I need to get back – if I ever was REALLY in one – to a routine – an ongoing regularly scheduled appts – but your model of service – with 7 days and excellent therapists whom I know you are vetting and evaluating is just very reassuring – I have several colleagues whom I have sent in either ‘emergencies’, that is from out of town and in pain, or just local looking for a good therapist and everyone has been happy – no one has expressed anything but happiness with the service and I know all continue to use the service. This is selfish on my part I want you to continue to do well because I just want you guys to be there when I need you – I love your staff, I love the model of care and I thank you.

I have been nothing but pleased by all of your therapists. It makes booking a lot easier when you know that you can choose any number of them to get the care you need.
I have found all of those who I have used to be friendly, accommodating, courteous and compassionate. I find that they must keep good notes, because they always hit the sore spots. Though, with me that’s a lot like looking for hay in a hay stack. 😉
Please pass on my appreciation. I don’t have a favorite, everyone has been great.

What a great place to go if you want to leave feeling better! Ali Mitchell is truly wonderful. Not only does she have healing hands, a deep understanding about how the body works and a profound capacity for empathy, her presence is calming and lovely to be around. Thank you Ali, and Thank you, Equilibrium,for creating this place!

Equilibrium Massage Therapy is a wonderful service! The therapists are kind, compassionate and highly skilled at what they do. I have been a regular client of Brenda’s since 2003, and don’t know what I would do without massage therapy. I highly recommend Equilibrium!
