Blair Schachterle BScPT, Dip Manip PT, Dip Sport PT, FCAMPT, CGIMS | November 10, 2016

Last week Jeanine talked about kneecap pain and how it can sneak up on us.

The muscle imbalance often pulls theRead More…

Blair Schachterle BScPT, Dip Manip PT, Dip Sport PT, FCAMPT, CGIMS | November 1, 2016

There are many factors that can lead to knee pain, such as joint degeneration, trauma, inflammation, etc. But why may a young athlete with no mechanism of injury start experiencing knee pain?

Got the BEST massage from Katie and I don’t know what I’d do without her to hit all the right spots – she is by far the worst enemy my ‘knots’ have ever had. She has a knack for finding all the stress points and with the deep tissue methods combined with the exact right amount of pressure she uses it’s ‘spot on’ (pun intended). Stress released and conquered, muscles happy again. She goes above and beyond in every way. I was at a loss when reception left a message that she may not be at this clinic anymore, however when I called to cancel my appointment and was informed she was in fact still there I was ecstatic. After going to many places I think I’ve finally found my ‘forever massage guru’ and I would recommend her to anyone.

I have had the opportunity to benefit from professional services provided by Nosecreek physio in 2017 when Blair and his team helped me recover and return to work in a week. Since I am back to them again, I would like to say a huge thank you to one of their therapists who I have not met in the past. Katie Luu is the one who I see weekly now as therapeutic deep massage is the most helpful treatment for me in addition to the special Home Exercise program. Katie provides the best deep therapeutic massage with noticeable results such as significantly decreased pain, stiffness and increased range of motion. Katie provides client centred care. They work with you and know each of your issues, provide treatment , monitor progress and continue to the point where I am now able to dress my self up without my family assisting me resulting in improved independence, self esteem and satisfaction with plan to return to my real work and enjoy painless and productive life. I wish I knew what Katie does to be able to see them long time ago. They are the best massage professional performing therapeutic massage who I hope everyone who needs this services can see them. THANK you so much Katie.

I started seeing Geneva a few weeks ago after a serious ankle fracture/surgery and I was terrified to begin physiotherapy.Geneva is amazing!! She is beyond patient with me and my fears while still professionally testing and furthering my limitations. I am very grateful for Geneva and her genuine care and hard work during this very difficult time.

Nose Creek Physiotherapy is excellent if you want great treatment on your injury or surgery rehabilitation. I hobbled into their clinic on crutches and very sore from a knee replacement. Kris Radke worked on it for 7 visits until the pain was no more. I recommend him as a very experienced hands on therapist.When I get my other knee replacement I will surely be looking up Kris Radke.

A Client's Success Story,Over the Christmas season I decided it was time to find some help to address issues of back pain, sciatica and vertigo that I had been experiencing for some time. When I was searching online, Blair from Nose Creek Physiotherapy popped up. I liked Blair right away and in a short video he assured me that any issue I have, he had probably treated before with the thousands of patients that he has seen. He and an associate Physio named Redek, did a free online assessment, assured me that they could help and then we began an in-clinic 10 week treatment plan with clear goals to address my specific needs. Without a health plan, I was paying out of pocket and investing in myself. I was ready to get serious and disciplined about my health.Well the time and money I spent was well worth it. I graduated from the in-clinic treatment last week feeling 80% better. Throughout my treatment I have been doing a guided home exercise program almost everyday. They have coached me about "neutral spine", "hip hinges", "motion is lotion strategies" and lots more. They treated my vertigo with a BPPV intervention that was a great success. The vertigo is gone.My goal was to become independent in my self care and that has happened. Both Blair and Radek have excellent technical skills as well as wonderful people skills. They know how to listen to, encourage and treat their patients respectfully. As a matter of fact the whole clinic staff is very friendly and positive. I enjoyed my visits there and I will be back for tune-ups as required.I would highly recommend investing in your own health and well-being at Nose Creek Physiotherapy Clinic! You will not be disappointed.Steve Harmera very satisfied client

Hurt my back late December 2020. Was booked into Nose Creek Beddington for help and I can't say enough about Kris Radke. He obviously knows his stuff; is very professional and funny. He tailored the appointments to my crazy schedule; physical condition and pain (he went so far as to change his lunchtime one day to accommodate me). We worked through it together and very happy to say I am now doing really good and still improving. I'd also like to say thanks to the entire staff at that location who are super friendly and very helpful, it is much appreciated!!

I went for physiotherapy after having knee surgery for a meniscus tear and fold on my left knee. I saw The physiotherapist Blair who we did a combination of in person and online appointments. He is very positive and gives you the tools to help you progressively get better. If you do the exercises you will see the results. My legs are actually stronger now than before my accident. I would highly recommend Blair and Nosecreek Physiotherapy.

My visits to Nose Creek Physiotherapy have been excellent. I have been seeing Radek, who is helping me to address some lower back pain. During our sessions he has worked with me to determine the root of the issue, and shown me how to improve it. He is also a very good conversationalist, which makes for an enjoyable and comfortable experience. After just a few visits I am already seeing a big improvement. I absolutely will continue to visit this location for any relevant needs.
