I came to Alaia Physiotherapy while I was on vacation visiting my partner. A friend of ours, a physician based in Vancouver, recommended Alaia Physiotherapy for a second opinion on an upper extremity problem that's been chronic. I've seen several different clinics at home, and I walked away from Alaia Physiotherapy impressed.
First, I loved the fact that I could schedule my appointments online. It was easy to see who was free, their specialties, and their availability. It made it easy to schedule two appointments during the week I was in Vancouver.

This is hands down the best physiotherapy clinic I have ever been to. I've been seeing Kat regularly for my neck and back pain for over 2 years and it's really made a difference. I have chronic pain as a result from an accident, and going to Alaia for treatment has been beneficial so that I can perform my day-to-day activities to the best of my ability.
The staff are friendly and helpful, and the physiotherapists are extremely understanding and knowledgeable. I always look forward to my appointments not only for pain relief, but also because the physiotherapists truly care about their

I've followed Dave and Alexis from a previous wellness facility. They're amazing RMTs, attentive and professional -- they're definitely experts in their field of work.
Highly recommended and forever loyal to you guys. Thanks for helping me out when I get those stubborn spams! Their booking system online is also breeze -- a bonus when you're on the go :)

My Achilles tendons had been bothering me for 5 years and were at the point where I thought I was pretty much done with physical activity for the rest of my life. After 5 sessions where I was mercilessly needled, endured some tortuous massage techniques, received ultrasound therapy, and was given a set of exercises to support the area, I am pain free and can sprint and hop around like there was never a problem in the first place. Amazing.

It is actually quite rare to find a motivated, highly professional specialist in this city who cares as much as Kat does.
I've been to many countries, seen too many lack lustre practitioners who are really only interested in making more business by having you come back needlessly. Kat is wonderfully practical, professional and has a great crew supporting her. Manages to lessen my pain every time. Can't say enough good things.

As with the review below, Kat became my physiotherapist when she was working at Sport & Spinal in Yaletown. I have plantar fascitis and other foot problems that flare up from time to time and I have tried other physiotherapists in the downtown area without much long-term success.
What I like about Kat the most is that she listens to what is bothering me and treats the problem accordingly - for example, sometimes I need more passive treatment and sometimes I need more active treatment and I have found that she is always thinking about my best interests first and foremost.

There was a time when I doubted whether or not I could keep teaching spin classes and hike the Grouse Grind due to my recurring knee pain. I wasn't experiencing real results from physio until I found Katrina Sovio. Her treatments which include intramuscular stimulation (IMS), manual adjustments, and exercises ensure that I can remain active and… pain free. At Alaia Physiotherapy, you can expect a clean, welcoming, and functional clinic to receive treatments and practice your exercises. I highly recommend Katrina and Alaia Physiotherapy for effective and attentive physiotherapy treatments

Simply put, Kat is amazing. She is strong, smart, an incredible physio and her treatments work. But there's more: what sets her apart in my mind, is her holistic approach to treating the whole body, including the mind. When you walk into her beautiful new clinic, you can immediately feel stress leaving your body and you know you've found… respite. She was the first person to introduce me to meditation as a way of releasing physical tension and it's making a tremendous difference in my life. She connects with me as a woman, and I feel completely comfortable and at ease in her care. I have
