Experienced Physiotherapy

The harder you push, the more your recovery has to match your intensity. As a Personal Trainer, Type A overachiever, and 41-year-old mom who trains hard five days a week while spinning all the plates, I've learned that recovery isn't optional. It matters just as much as the training itself. Whether we realize it or not, most of us are holding immense tension in our bodies, and that tension keeps the nervous system constantly in overdrive. It's one of the reasons so many people turn to unhealthy behaviours to find relief. Sometimes what we actually need is to release what's been building up in the muscles. When that tension peaks, I book an IMS session with Derek. I occasionally see a Chiropractor for adjustments and active release therapy, and an RMT for deep tissue massage, but Derek's technique is in a category of its own. It's intense and not for the faint of heart, but it goes deeper and releases overactive, chronically tight muscles in a way I have yet to see any other practitioner replicate. The relief is immediate and profound. Whenever I see Derek, I can sleep on the side of my body I used to avoid entirely due to sciatic nerve pain. I move better. And most importantly, my nervous system downshifts in a way that helps me stay more centred to handle the demands of life. If you're an athlete who can tolerate some intensity in exchange for real results, I cannot recommend Derek and his IMS technique highly enough. Thank you, Derek. You're best in class!

Derek was recommended to me by a friend, so I booked 3 appointments on a recent visit to town. He's extremely good at IMS needling. He seems very knowledgeable about shoulders and knees (which is what I asked him about). I like seeing new therapists for old issues when I get a chance, and I got some great input and exercises from Derek.

Derek is a very skilled physiotherapist. Not only is he incredibly adept at IMS and diagnostic manipulation, he is very gentle where there is limited mobility and major pain. My recent nerve impingement in my shoulder was dramatically improved in just a few hours after my appointment. I highly recommend Derek Kyle.

I’m grateful for the support and education I received during my ACL rehab. Derek was always encouraging and made the recovery process truly enjoyable. His flexible approach, tailored to my specific wants and needs, and his readiness to listen gave me confidence throughout. I highly recommend Derek for anyone seeking a skilled and supportive physio.

I’ve seen Derek over the last year and half for a couple injuries (torn achilles and a broken toe). The rehab process through Derek has been fantastic. I didn’t know what to expect coming to see a Physio for the first time and I feel very fortunate that I am able to work with Derek. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He also is very good at recognizing what works best for each person and if a routine is not getting the desired results, he has the important ability to recognize this and change course. Past the rehab for those mentioned injuries Derek has worked with me on lingering issues related to hip/back pain, stability and mobility. Derek was able to zero into what was causing these issues and I can’t express how much of a difference even just a few months have made. Skiing is a whole new world to me now where I feel strong and stable. Most importantly I am not in pain each time I come off the hill. I highly recommend Derek for someone looking for physio treatments.
