I am very happy to have found Fairview Physiotherapy, and would recommend it to anyone. After having tried other physiotherapists, I continued to be in a lot of pain and was frustrated with my progress. However, Kenny is very different from the other physiotherapists and has helped me significantly. He spends the entire appointment one-on-one with his patients, and listens closely.

Guy Moody, President Phoenix Gymnastics Club

My name is Guy Moody and I am the father of a very committed 11 year old gymnast, Jessie Moody. Jessie is currently 2012 BC Champion at her level and second all-around at the 2012 Western Canadian Championships. As a high level athlete she is training 25 hours per week in a difficult and dangerous sport. As such, Jessie is constantly exposed to injuries both small and large. Thus far she has been fortunate, but all the same she still gets strains, sprains, pulls and the occasional bones out of line.
