Kinesiologists cover the spectrum of rehabilitative and wellness services from the active rehabilitation of an injury through to high-performance training. Many people will be referred to a kinesiologist after seeing a physiotherapist or chiropractor to begin active rehabilitation (exercise). This involves learning proper movement mechanics, fixing muscle imbalances and building an overall strong and healthy body.

Chiropractic is traditionally defined as adjustments of the spine. What exactly is an adjustment? An adjustment is a quick motion applied to a joint segment to restore mobility and reduce pain. Adjustments can be applied to the spine as well as the extremities. Our chiropractor Dr. Sam utilizes a variety of treatment methods in addition to adjusting to get you feeling better, moving better and out of pain.

I had such a great experience with Ren as my physiotherapist. I was able to feel fully understood and heard when it came to my timeline for rehabilitation and I felt a lot of detail put into the exercise plan to help me with my injury. In general, all the staff were friendly and the space was nice, bright and well equipped for any sort of aerobic fitness or resistance training. My little brother also had Kin sessions with Joanne and really enjoyed the experience. He is doing much better now, thanks to some sport injury conditioning at Personal Best.

Look no further for personalized exercise therapy that works and gets you back in the game. The gains I've accomplished with PBET's support continue to improve my quality of life. If you're stuck on the hamster wheel of reinjury, PBET has highly qualified staff to help you break that cycle. Dedicated, qualified, and caring professionals make all the difference. Keep up the great work!

Michael Hills is incredible. I have followed him around Vancouver for his massages because no one has the technical know-how like he does. As long as you tell him what's hurting, he can go in around the pain to the muscles feeding into the area, and when he gets to the spot again it is already so much better. I recommend him to every one I meet, and everyone who has taken my advice has been impressed with him. He's not there all the time at the moment, so book ahead! It's worth it.

I have been a client of Michael Hill for some time and he is an outstanding massage therapist. He is genuinely concerned about my injuries and will spend extra time if needed. He often follows up with exercise advise via email. He is very knowledgeable about the body as a high level martial arts instructor. I am sad that he will be moving to Kamloops.

I would like to recommend the services of my Registered Massage Therapist - Michael Hills. He is very knowledgeable and his treatments are very effective as he cures most problem in one or two sessions! Earlier this year, I was suffering from a tennis elbow and I tried Physio, Chiro, exercises, pain killers etc etc. but nothing worked. Two sessions with Michael and I recovered fully within 3 weeks! He is moving to Kamloops, BC so I am really going to miss him. So you guys in Kamloops are very lucky because you now have someone who knows what he is doing!

I've had a few reiki treatments with Tracy Marshall, a new contractor at PBET. These treatments have had a huge positive impact on my life and helped me to feel a sense of deep relaxation and peace I have not felt for a very long time. It has allowed me to reconnect with my heart and to feel and feel safe feeling. I love the energy and space Tracy creates and the energy in the clinic itself supports her in doing this. The rest of the staff is very friendly and I would likely return for other services. If you are looking to make a change in your life and are looking for the support and encouragement

My friend and I started with Amy (Kinesiologist) at Personal Best at the end of November 2016 and have been going to her ever since. I started there with a condition called "Runner's Knee" and along with Amy's program and the physiotherapist Tom, they were able to bring my knee to complete recovery. They worked together to create a program just for me. As well my back pains have gone and I should be ready for the ski slopes again in the fall with much stronger glutes. All the staff are very warm, encouraging and knowledgeable.

Kevin Hunter (Kinesiologist) is one of the most talented rehab therapists I have worked with, personally and professionally. As Registered Massage Therapist for over 17 years I have worked with many talented trainers. I have sent many of my clients to him with great results. It has complimented my work beautifully. I have been training with Kevin since my car accident over a year ago. I improved rapidly with his skilled eye's hands and large vocabulary of exercises. He not only understands exercises but unlike many trainers he really understands the body at a very deep level. This translates into
