Richmond Muscle & Tendon clinic was founded in 1995 by Nikolay Yelizarov, a Russian doctor who had recently immigrated to Canada with his family. Shortly after arriving to Canada, Nikolay opened his clinic where he worked diligently until his sudden passing in 2019. Nikolay specialized in Electric-Intermuscular Stimulation (EIMS), a unique acupuncture treatment that he perfected while working at his clinic.
EIMS Acupuncture helps to relieve pain by supporting the healing process aiding tissue repair. The ability to move with freedom is vital to your everyday life. It combines acupuncture and electrical stimulation to dramatically reduce pain and healing time by improving blood circulation in the injured muscle and speeding up recovery.
As a licenced Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbalist, Dr. Dilyana Nestorova believes in encouraging a natural healing process within the body to treat the root of the problem. Her treatment approach includes traditional acupuncture, herbal remedies, healing diet, and cupping. In addition, she has been trained by Dr. Yelizarov in EIMS, his proprietary treatment procedure for sport, work and car accident related injuries.

Allan is AMAZING!! I've been to many different therapists in the last 20+ years, and Allan is by far one of the best. It is obvious he really knows his stuff, plus he always does his best to fit me in for an appointment even if I call last minute. I appreciate knowing Allan will work very hard every appointment to break up all the knots and tension in my body, and that I will leave the clinic feeling much better than when I walked in.

After using up my insurance money trying to repair my back in 2011, I finally ended up at the Richmond Muscle and Tendon Clinic with Dr. Yelizarov. I was at the point where I could hardly walk 75 yards without having to sit down. After one session with Dr. Yelizarov I felt 85% better and he accelerated my recovery, which to this day I wouldn't know would have ever happened without him.
If you have suffered a lingering muscle strain which does not seem to be getting better on its own, do not wait too long. Call and make an appointment to see Dr. Yelizarov. You will get a caring, qualified physician

I experienced a series of acute athletic as well as some work related, occupational injuries, the latter mostly being chronic and due to the lack of ergonomics. Upon a recommendation, and after having tried some other treatments that sadly failed, I scheduled a visit to the Richmond Muscle and Tendon Clinic run by Dr. Nikolay Yelizarov. It proved to be a worthwhile decision. The treatment was effective and sustained. The acute pain resolved completely after the second visit (some spots actually eased significantly just after one treatment session!) and after the six sessions (one session per week

Dr. Yelizarov is fantastic. He is very professional, knowledgeable and accurate in identifying patient problem and locating precisely right area to apply treatment. It makes his EIMS acupuncture treatment super efficient. My husband was suffering from the low back muscle problem for the six months , it was so bad that he even cannot sit down at all. We tried all kind of physiotherapy and it didn't work. My friend suggested to see Dr. Yelizarov. And it was like a miracle only after a very few treatments of EIMS deep muscle relaxation my husband was able to sit down again and very quickly recover

I had few massage therapy years ago but never went back since i didn't feel any difference or progress at all. I have tension in my shoulders, upper and lower back for a long time due to the nature of my job so I decided to give massage another try. Allan Liu is an excellent and a very professional RMT. He is skilled & intuitive on how much pressure to apply, which area needs more work and when to stop. I now go for my massage to maintain my relaxed, pain & tense free muscles. I am so happy with the result and would recommend him 100%.

I am an athlete who has been struggling with various numbness, tingling, weakness and pain in my arm and shoulder for the last few years. I have seen numerous professionals both within and outside of conventional medicine, and though a couple seem to have helped me (in particular, one chiropractor diagnosed a trapped radial nerve in my shoulder and treated me with some relief), none have been able to fully solve my problem.
A couple months ago a friend told me about Mr. Yelizarov, and how he uses acupuncture needles to electrically stimulate muscles in a treatment he calls Electrical Intramuscular

I a seamstress and usually spend a lot of time with sewing machine. As a result, I often get shoulder and back pain. Any massages helped for a short period of time only. After Dr. Elizarov's acupuncture treatment I feel much better than before. I understood that few sessions let me feel much better during a year.

I twisted my right leg and started feel pain in the knee. I tried different sport creams, physio, yoga... Sometimes I feel better but pain never gone. After 3 months of experiments I decided to visit Muscle & Tendon clinic. Usually after first visit to doctor(massage) I know if will continue or I don't like it. In this case I left with confidence that this is what I was looking for. I've got detailed explanation of what happened, what is the the recover process and how long it will take (plus/minus week). And it is happened! I was able to run 10K MEC. Thank you Dr. Yelizarov!
