What to Expect

Dry needling/IMS is a general term for a therapeutic treatment procedure that involves inserting thin needles (akin to acupuncture needles) into an identified muscle in the body. A therapist will needle a dysfunctional or painful muscle to elicit a muscle twitch response which de-activates a muscle trigger point, and effectively reduces a client’s pain and dysfunction. Clients will typically see improvements in range of motion, decreased pain, and increased function in as little as 2-4 sessions.

    - Lawrence
  • “A special shout out to their Physiotherapist Katie who has without a doubt been the most educated and amazing therapist I have ever seen. She is educated, smart, funny and has a GREAT attitude. She goes above and beyond her line of duty, without her I would be in brutal pain still. I have recommended her to everyone I know and recommend her highly to you!!!.”

    - Megan
  • “I’ve seen two of the physiotherapists at Strive [Coquitlam] and both were fantastic. They both performed full assessments, provided treatment that helped my pain in the short term, as well as gave me targeted stretches and exercises and advised me on how to modify my current exercise routine to strengthen the weak muscles that will support my joints. The front-end staff was also super helpful – overall great experience!”

    - Lucia
  • “I came here two months after a concussion and still had some symptoms (nausea, light sensitivity, brain fog, and headache at the front of my head). Dr Binstock took me through the baseline test and was able to pin point what was causing my symptoms. It turned out the problem was actually in my neck and after one session and a week of exercises to condition my eyes all my symptoms were almost completely gone! Highly recommended!”

He was very professional, always available to answer any questions outside our in-clinic appointments (really important mentally) and massively helped me to recover. Highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Canil if you're dealing with a concussion.”
