"In March 2008, my dramatic fall resulted in a fractured pelvis at the hip joint and pubic bone. When the orthopaedic surgeon read the MRI, I was sent to bed. I obeyed because I am a senior with arthritis and full-blown osteoporosis, and I was worried that the injury might not heal. After 5 weeks primarily horizontal, then onto crutches and eventually a cane, the orthopaedic surgeon asked me to contract my buttock muscles. A pinch test revealed that I had no muscle! What a shock to lose strength and balance! So with permission to start physiotherapy , I had the the good fortune to sign up with Lynn at Bodyworx. And from there I learned that I could add sessions with Rachel at the Pilates studio. I credit the conscientious and encouraging Bodyworx team for my recovery. Now I embrace Pilates for injury prevention and although I was keen about bicycling and hiking before the injury, I can feel the Pilates exercises are helping me become even stronger than I was before the fall. Thanks Bodyworx Team!"

From the moment you enter Bodyworx, you immediately feel right at home. Warmly greeted by Lisa and Stephanie, you truly feel that you are in a place that genuinely cares for you. This is carried over to the exceptionally qualified physiotherapists, in particular Brenda Walsh.
For the past couple of years I have been suffering with a chronic shoulder ailment that eventually required surgery to correct. Within a week of surgery I began my post-surgery physiotherapy with Brenda.
I was most impressed with her approach to my recovery. She set realistic goals, encouraged me to attain them and vigorously followed up on the home exercises. I found her to be a very compassionate and caring individual. She helped me through the ups and downs of my recovery finding innovative and interesting methods to keep me motivated. Her approach proved to be most beneficial and has greatly increased my post-op recovery and healing for which I am most grateful.
My overall experience with Bodyworx and Brenda has been a most positive one and I would not hesitate to refer my family and friends to them."

After experiencing debilitating plantar fasciitis from exercising, I tried everything; orthotics helped somewhat, taping helped too but was not practical. After a year of suffering I found relief with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy. After three treatments I am back running and exercising in comfort. I am a true believer. Thanks Lynn Brandon
and staff!

I endured over a year of tightness and ache in my lower back from a skiing mishap. While visiting Comox on a pilot course I was referred to Bodyworx for physiotherapy. I was very impressed with the sincere, professional and methodical analysis Brenda conducted which led to the conclusion that my hip was also involved in the ailment. By applying a combination of minor manipulation, aided stretching and soft tissue massage over a few visits my symptoms subsided substantially. I now have a much better understanding of my trouble area and am armed with a battery of stretching and exercise techniques to help prevent recurrence. Thank you Brenda! Thanks again everyone, for the professional service in a friendly environment.

Two years have passed since I was successfully treated by Lynn Brandon. I never thought I would embrace an active, balanced lifestyle again. My body is well, thus my spirits are up. How wonderful it is not to feel discomfort daily. You offer amazing care that is second to none. Your environment is welcoming, calming and positive. I recommend you highly. Thank you.

"STOTT Pilates and the reformer machine have changed my life. Under the guidance of Lynn Brandon and her teachers, I now use and understand the importance of breathing as well as mind and body connections used in reformer training which have helped me improve my core strength, posture and viewpoint on life as more than just work. I cannot recommend STOTT Pilates and Bodyworx highly enough."
