What my clients have to say

Dr. Grimmett, has been a valuable resource for me. He has helped with the recovery and healing of various injuries over the years. Not only does he treat the specific injury but he also provides techniques and exercises to improve and strengthen the injured or weak area of my body. His passion for his work is infectious. I appreciate that Dr. Grimmett is up to date with the latest developments and the latest techniques that are applicable to his work in Active Release. He has an excellent approach to chiropractic!

Erik Patient and Athlete

In late 2016 I began to suffer with pain and restriction in my left hamstring/calf area that reduced my ability to walk to less than 1 km and at times with debilitating excruciating pain. I sought help from my GP, a sports med doctor, my chiropractor, my physiotherapist and had an MRI done. 3 years passed and thousands of dollars spent, and the improvements were marginal. Dr. Grimmett fixed me in 10 sessions over a 4 month period. Where the other medical professionals were fixated on my knee, hamstring or calf, Dr Grimmett took a more whole body approach and not only has my leg injured fully healed, but he also addressed ongoing issues with painful sporadic back spasms. His recommended stretches and strength exercises are now a key part of my daily workout. Dr. Grimmett has a calm, reassuring professional demeanor and his breadth of knowledge is readily apparent. I limped into his office in February and walked out in May stronger than ever. It is like he turned back the clock on my age.

Dr. Grimmett has a professional, calming and empathetic demeanour. He has a thorough understanding of anatomy and possesses excellent assessment skills. I confidently refer my patients to him.

Denise Drisdelle Patient and RMT

I have suffered from 2 herniated discs in my lumbar area for over a decade, and I have been crippled by them on numerous occasions. Typically it takes 3-4 weeks to fully recover, but under the care of Dr. James Grimmett I was able to be back in the gym and training martial arts within a week. The most amazing aspect of the treatment was Dr. Grimmett's use of neuromuscular physiology and developmental neurology to help me control and relieve the symptoms within a few sessions. No drugs, only a few alignments, and an intelligently designed exercise plan, accomplished what years of abdominal exercises, stretching and back hyperextensions could not. He helped me identify the root causes for my lumbar issues, and succinctly explained, relying on sound medical and scientific evidence, the adequate course of action. I have been involved in biomedical research for over 15 years, I would highly recommend Dr. Grimmett to anyone who is truly serious about learning how to heal naturally. He is an outstanding clinician and scientist.

I have been seeing James off and on for several years. He is always the go to guy when I want pain to be addressed quickly! My most recent experience was another great example. I had what I thought was a knee problem that was making cycling uphills (I do a lot of those) unbearable. James did his ART magic (addressing a hip issue) AND tried out his new state of the art laser therapy. 2 weeks after the visit, I am back at the hills PAIN FREE. Thank you James!
