I have been with NCP for over two years now right after I required therapy for rotator cuff surgery. I received great care by Grace and was treated very well by all staff members. I have been back for different aches and pains and always come out feeling much better and given a regimen of exercise to help with my healing. My most recent visit was with Kris for new orthotics using 3d imaging for defining the inserts. Great customer service and everyone adheres to the new Covid19 guidelines. Thanks all.

Great place, they really help you figure out your desired goals. They also send you emails with a digital exercise routine for when you practice at home. You can also do virtual appointments. Kris Radke is an excellent physiotherapist.

I have been to Nose Creek Physiotherapy for three different injuries and have had great results. Once for an Achilles surgery rehab, an wrist injury rehab, and recently for lower back pain. Blair and his team are very knowledgeable and not only treat the immediate problem, but provide exercises and stretches to maintain and provide preventative treatment. As a bookkeeper I sit for long periods which is a problem for my back pain. Blair was able to provide me with measures to help prevent the problem from recurring and ways to relieve the pain if there are any flare ups. I would recommend Nose Creek Physiotherapy

Carly is my physiotherapist at Nose Creek Physio and I highly recommend her, she is awesome! I went searching for a physiotherapist to help with my lower back pain caused by Degenerative Disc Disease/Osteoarthritis and feel lucky I found such a knowledgeable, easy going, friendly and adaptable physiotherapist for my treatment. The stretches, exercises and information provided have all been very helpful. Carly and the other staff are all professional and make you feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you and I look forward to my future appointments. Melanie

I've been made to feel very welcome and I could not have asked for better care. I would highly recommend Nose Creek esp Kris to any one who asks me. Staff are very pleasant and very accommodating. I'm not quite done with the recommended sessions but Kris has made significant relief from my shoulder pain. Very effective exercises and treatment so far. Im slowly getting back to play volleyball!. Thank you!

I highly recommend Kris Radke and his virtual physio sessions. My sore neck and upper shoulder pains were significantly reduced (no more pain) in just a few weeks with the exercises he gave me to work on. He monitored my progress consistently and cared about whether I improved on a weekly basis.Thank you for all your help Kris!

Blair and his team are top notch, first rate health professionals that can be trusted to guide you to recover to ‘better than before”. I have had two separate major shoulder surgeries on my right and left shoulders as a result of sports injuries. My shoulder pain is completely gone and has never returned. Over the years, I have referred many friends to Nose Creek Physiotherapy. I highly recommend them.

We had a video consult because of the times and I must say Kris was truly helpful. He took the time to understand the root of the issue and came up with a plan to find a solution.

I had treatments at this clinic for my work related injury. The PT was patient and thorough in answering my questions. I was never hurried nor made to feel uncomfortable. I also had several massages that were really good.

I first went to see Blair after our first daughter was born.I was having trouble with my hips/ back after pregnancy. 23 years later... If I pull, strain, tweet or injure anything to do with muscles, nerves. Nose creek is the first number I call for help. Blair and his team have helped with headaches, neck cricks, posture, hips, knees, ankles, arms.... I much prefer the Physio treatments, strength building and future prevention strategies. Usually a few laughs during treatment. I love the educational emails that I chose to receive. My girls, now 23 and 17, ask to go see Blair and team for treatments when they injure/ sprain/ strain anything.They can usually see you pretty quickly. They direct bill our insurance so we only pay the balance remaining.If I have limited insurance left for the year, I mention that and they pace the treatment accordingly. I’ve got 4 covered visits to help fix me up! Okay! Super friendly happy positive staff. Trust Blair Completely. Listens to you during treatment... if you’re not comfortable, etc, Offer many types of treatments. Our definite go- to place. Recommend them whenever I can!!

I have been seeing Grace at Nose Creek Physio for approximately 3 years. In my opinion she is an outstanding physiotherapist. After surgery to reattach my tendon to my knee cap, she worked with me to ensure constant improvement. She is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to communicate with. In addition to her treatments at the clinic, she routinely gave me a series of additional exercises to do at home. Each set of exercises was more demanding, yet appropriate for my level of recovery, and I eventually exceeded the predicted best case recovery by 10%. The facility is well equipped and always clean and tidy. Everyone who works at the clinic is a pleasure to interact with and each visit is a great experience.

highly recommend virtual physio with Kris Radke. He explained all exercises - followed up each virtual visit with an email video exercise program... so easy to follow! Range of motion treatment for my broken humerus was addressed all from the comfort and safety of my home ... thanks Kris and Nose Creek Physiotherapy :)

I'm a Senior who had couple of joint surgeries, so I decided to have a therapeutic massage with Melissa. After 2 visits I felt better than I did in the past 2 years. She knows just where to apply her hands and relieves the pain and relaxes the muscles. I have seen a Chiropractic, physiotherapy and acupuncture help with some relief, but the massage is more helpful than any of the others. I am on my 3rd visit and now can't wait until next visit. She is also more knowledgable on sports and current events than most people I know.

Paul is wonderful! He’s very educated and professional, and always makes me feel comfortable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. If you’re looking for a great massage therapist look no further.

I went to Nose Creek Physiotherapy to get my shoulder treated from a injury sustained from volleyball. I heard great things about Kris Radke from friends and family that were previous patient’s of his. Kris was friendly, patient, extremely helpful, and works his hardest to help patients recover and get them back to 100%. He always listens and provides the best solutions for patients needs. I was able to recover to 90% within a couple weeks and Kris made it a seamless transition. I plan to continue with the exercises provided to get me back to complete 100%. The staff are friendly and willing to make you feel comfortable and at home. They help create an enjoyable environment for you to feel secure and create a judge free zone. I would highly recommend Kris Radke if you were planning to get treatment done at Nose Creek Sport Physiotherapy.

Very happy with this clinic. I came needing help with my tennis elbow and pain in my shoulder. Treatment AND exercise / stretching has resulted in SIGNIFICANT (probably 80%) improvement. I expect to continue the exercise / stretching as part of my regular routine (approx. 40 mins 4-5 times per week) and hope the symptoms will continue to decline. I've learning that receiving treatment is only part of the process ... it's really important to put in the effort to do the exercise / stretching. The therapist and staff at this clinic are top notch. If I ever need further help, I will return to this clinic. Highly recommend them. I am a retired accountant and I have been able to resume my normal activities with very little, if any, pain.

I had used the services of Nose Creek a few times now for injuries to my achilles tendon and recently a broken ankle and in both cases the service and support were great. The staff are all very friendly and professional and the advice on exercises was instrumental in getting past the disabled feeling quickly. Thanks to Carly for her great work recently. I would highly recommend this clinic and its staff and will return if future injuries occur.

Hands down, the only place I trust for my physiotherapy needs. Blair and the team helped me recover from two back to back car accidents, the second of which had me needing about 5 months of therapy. However, Blair was incredibly experienced and helped me get back to the activities I was enjoying before my accidents. Paul was also an amazing massage therapist and was able to show me techniques that helped make the stubborn pain go disappear. If I could give them 6 stars I would. I highly recommend coming to nose creek physio if you need any treatment!

I have been going to Nose Creek Physiotherapy (NCP) for various injuries throughout my working career. I am currently recovering from a work related elbow inury and am being treated by Grace. My WCB case manager commented on how professional, detailed and accurate Grace's case notes were. I have attended other physio clinics and have been left disappointed.At NCP you receive an individual treatment plan from well trained therapists. They provide excellent communication with your insurance provider to help your claim move smoothly through the system. My family members go to NCP as well. If you need physio, go to NCP. Another plus is easy access and ample free parking too. Kevin.

Nose Creek refuses to list their prices. Even after contacting them by e mail and asking. They won't reply. That's OK though. There is only like 100 other places I can go.

Blair put me back together after a back injury a few years ago, loved the traction. Last year, fell down my front steps, and I don't know if I would be walking normally if it wasn't for Christine. Nose Creek Physiotherapy is the must go to place if you want to recover properly and get back to living your life!
