Trailside Physio, Massage Therapy & Chiropractor

Suffering a torn meniscus I sought out physio and remembering Trailside from recovering from a back injury a decade ago, I decided to try them again. This time around I have been working with Tri and have had a great experience. I suffer from severe clinical depression and it takes a lot of effort to change my habits and do the exercises. But with Tri's help and encouragement, I've had success with adding new routines into my week. I still fail some days, but overall, walking has become a new enjoyable activity and between that and the inconsistent exercises I've done on my own at home, my knee is doing much better and I am no longer limping in pain. I highly recommend working with Tri and Trailside Physio.

Trailside was my first experience with any type of physio and I was blown away with my experience. When I booked my first appointment it was only a few weeks since they had been open during the pandemic and the measures they had in place at such an early time were amazing and only got better each and every visit I had. I never felt unsafe or concerned even in slightest going to see the team there. I would highly recommend going for all your physio need and have already referred people to go , same as I was referred. I was personally was teamed up with Tri Tran who not only is exceptionally knowledgeable with how to treat me and my injury but made it fun and challenging at the same time. He was very personable and made feel more like a friend than a patient. I looked forward to our sessions even the challenging ones. Whenever I was struggling he would give suggestions or variations on how to better myself through work-out plans and if something was too difficult in the start he would use those variations to keep me moving forward and progressing rather than simply skipping specific training exercises. Even though my treatment on my knee is "done" I still plan on going back periodically to work on other aspects and get me to where I would like to be. I know if you work with the trainers at Trailside and put in the work both at home and in session like I did, you will be back feeling better and have the confidence in yourself and the training to get you back on the ice, the court or simply making it through your daily life in less time then you would think. Thanks to the team at Trailside and especially Tri for giving me what I needed to get back on the ice and continue to make saves, especially the glove saves on Tri himself :)

This is my first time getting massage therapy. Drew Wilson is an awesome RMT he's always checks with me my pain and pressure levels, is never too hard, makes sure I'm comfortable and warm and always makes sure the bed is low enough for me to get in, being so short :) He's helped me gain so much of my movement and mobility back so far, eliminated my pain and even calmed my anxiety. He's also great to talk with. Trailside measures with covid are great! I never worry of possibly contracting it while I'm there.

I've been seeing Tri Tran for a couple of months now and has done wonders in treating my injury. This was my first time doing physio and it's been a really great experience. Additionally, their covid-19 safety protocols are very visible and followed. They have built a little glass box for their reception area, everyone wears a mask, everyone washes their hands when they arrive and when they leave. Most importantly, they make sure both employees and patients stay home when they are ill. I feel safe attending treatment in person at Trailside.

Very professional, explain what they are doing and make sure that you understand the exercises you have to do at home

I’ve been a regular client of Trailside Physio since moving to New Westminster, Fall of last year. Initially, I was anxious finding a new RMT and PT, as I’ve been with my previous ones for many years in Richmond. However, my experience at Trailside Physio, has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve been seeing Drew as my RMT 1-2x/week regularly since last November and since the first session until now, he’s always been extremely professional and knowledgeable about any targeted muscle groups that I’ve inquired about. I generally come in for maintenance therapy and have found his suggestions and tips for stretches and treatment modalities to be very helpful. He’s very patient and has very good communication through the treatment; continuously assessing pressure application and heat application (if heat pack is used). I’ve also seen Cheng as my PT about once a month since November of last year. I generally see him for maintenance, as I do work out regularly and find it highly beneficial to know what I can do in terms of preventative or effective stretches for the muscle groups that cause me more soreness than others. I also injured my trap muscle in April from an unfortunate trampoline park incident and Cheng was able to give me his informed opinion, stretches to help and treatment plan so I could slowly heal and mobilise it normally again. It’s been over a month now and I feel back to normal! I believe it was the combination of physio and RMT treatments I received and I am so grateful to have a great team of professionals at Trailside Physio to help keep me at my peak physical health! We also have good laughs and conversations during the appointments and I often look forward to them whenever I go. When I return to nursing full time, I will definitely continue to come here, as they also offer very flexible and open availability for appointments. They also do direct billing which is a huge plus, as it saves me from having to submit a claim every time to my insurance provider!

Physio Christina Smith is excellent. She fixed my lower back pain. She provides hands on treatment and doesn’t just leave you hooked to a machine. Incredibly knowledgeable and the best physio I’ve been to.

I got a pretty bad knee injury in winter and could barely walk. Looked for physio therapy in New Westminster and I’m glad I found Chenghao. He’s super friendly and knowledgeable. With his help I felt way better in two weeks and became a regular patient since then. Definitely recommended.
