D'Arcy Bain Physiotherapy St.Vital

I was 10 weeks out from total (right) hip replacement surgery and felt my recovery had stalled so arranged an appointment with Derek Friesen, for an assessment and advice/direction. Derek looked after me (my hip issues) before surgery and made my life livable while waiting for replacement surgery - a time-line extended because of the pandemic. Going back to him after surgery for help was a "no brainer". He provided the objective assessment I requested, suggested some reasonable recovery time-lines, and prescribed a series of exercises for me to implement, specific to my long term objectives (i.e. what do I want to be able to do or to return to doing). Of most importance - he will continue to provide the advice and direction I require to get back to whatever normal is within my potential - whilst ensuring I don't overdo it. He is always punctual, and listens attentively. He expects active participation of his patients - something that works well for me.

Thanks Derek. And thanks D'Arcy Bain Physiotherapy - Dakota.

I have been coming here for a couple years now. They are always professional, and have helped me get rid of all my aches and pains! Jackie is a wonderful therapist, kind, compassionate, and always helpful. Sarah is the massage therapist there, and she is amazing. She knows exactly what I need and works as a team with the physiotherapists there to maximize your care. I can’t say enough good things about this location of D’Arcy Bain Physiotherapy!

All of the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. I saw Jackie for a pinched nerve and she was very professional and helped a lot showing different exercises to do at home in addition to the physio sessions.

Saw Derek for an injured knee. Was very patient, attentive with no pressure to do anything I was not ready for. He always put me at ease and answered all my questions. I will always go back to see him if I ever need physio again.

Thank you Derek!
