Montreal-West Clinic

I never thought I would walk again. This was my 3rd back injury in Nursing, and given my age, and the excruciating sciatic pain down both legs, I truly believed this was it. As per my MRIs, I have 4 unstable, bulging torn discs. “Non operable” were the words used both by the orthopaedic surgeon and the neurosurgeon. One simply told me to “return to him when I can no longer move”. The sciatic pain ran down both legs, numbness and throbbing in my right toes. I was in constant pain and had reduced my daily activities to lying in bed on narcotics and a sleeping pill. Crawling to the toilet was an activity I dreaded, and simply sitting on and then trying to stand up off the toilet increased the pain and left me exhausted until the next time. Through a friend, I was encouraged to go to Action Sports in Montreal West, and see Ron Varga, owner and head physical therapist. Prior to going, I had already worked with several physios, and my opinion of them was quite low. One even insisted that I do a certain exercise which I really didn’t want to do, causing worsening sciatic pain that set me back weeks. Until Ron started working with me, I refused to move my upper body in any direction, fearing pain. He was extremely sympathetic and understanding as I often arrived in tears, doubtful that “anything” would help. His patience, professionalism and diligent work began to give me hope. After many months of hard work, never pushing me but with firm guidance, my faith took a turn. Continuing to work with me, he then introduced me to Samya Tatone, who now owns Pilates Precision, and is a masso - kinesitherapist. Well, confession time: not only did I not have a clue as to what Pilates was, I didn’t think it had anything to do with me. Ron had highly recommended Samya. So, based on the trust and gratitude I have for him, I decided to try. Samya too is unlike any therapist I have ever met. She seemed to have an uncanny insight into what I could or could not physically do. My anxieties were slowly melting and trust began to take its place. There were times when I would come for a session with an agenda in mind, and she would notice something about the way I was moving, and dig in to work on something completely unrealized by me. To my amazement, I always felt better after these sessions. I would be in less pain and more energized. This was actually working, I began to feel increasingly hopeful as the days went on. Given my back condition, I have seen numerous health professionals and had become resigned to living with the constant pain and health issues. I was very sceptical of physiotherapy, and something I knew nothing about, Pilates. The relief did not come overnight but with the dedication and support I received, I feel as though I have been given a second chance. One of the orthopaedic surgeons I met along the way said something I have never forgotten: “One day you will leave this world. It’s your choice if you leave as a rusty or a well oiled machine.” My injury occurred November 2010 and I returned to work in May 2011. I would like to express how grateful I am for the excellent care Ron, Samya and Tiffany, and all the staff at Action Sports Montreal West and Pilates Precision have given me. From the first day I arrived at the clinic until now, I have continuously received the same highly compassionate attention to my needs. They are truly dedicated to their clients. I AM GRATEFUL. Thank you.

I have been doing exercises since November 2010 with Danny following a period of physiotherapy with Ronny Varga for a knee injury I acquired from curling in the winter of 2010. Danny has been able to work with me to the point now I have gained the ability to walk without a cane and the return of my balance for safe ambulation. Following a consult with an orthopaedic surgeon it was established that surgery on the knee was not an option and the best method of treatment was exercise. Danny has been very diligent in working with me and establishing a regime that I have been able to do at home and with his supervision at the clinic twice a week. I am very grateful to Danny for the time, patience, perseverance and professionalism he has shown to me during my time at Action Sport Physio. I have now proceeded to join his new PROstudio and am working on improving my poor dietary habits, core strengthening exercises and a weight reduction regime. This is proving to be very motivational and Danny is making the exercises fun. The tool of taking pictures and having them available for review when doing the home work is a valuable asset. My sincere gratitude to Danny and I can only give him my praise and recommend him to others for his dedication to his work.

I came to Karine with a shoulder pain that had been bothering me for about 6 months. It hurt enough that I couldn't swim my regular 2 km workout anymore. I had tried other physiotherapists, but somehow, they didn't help me get to the point where I could swim again. I had three sessions with Karine over the course of a couple of weeks. She analysed my mobility very carefully and was able to refine and build on the physiotherapy exercises that I was doing previously. With her help, I can swim again. So I am very happy. Thanks so much Karine!

In January 2010, I had arthroscopic surgery performed to repair damaged cartilage and a torn meniscus in my right knee. Physiotherapy was a consistent part of my rehabilitation and I got lucky to have Karine as my therapist. Being an active person who tends to be pessimistic and impatient, being on crutches for 6 weeks was challenging for me. Karine constantly challenged my pessimism and always reminded me of the progress I was making. Although her knowledge and passion for what she does are impressive in themselves, it’s her care and attention to detail that make her special. Any issue or concern I had along the way was always tended to by Karine, and she genuinely cared about my progress and was motivated to get me back to 100% as quickly as my knee would allow. On some occasions, when I needed a quick appointment, she would always find a way to see me right away. Today, 8 months after my surgery, I can say my knee is fully healed and feels great! Thank you Karine for everything. ASP is lucky to have you.

Working at Action Sport Physio - Montreal West these past four years has been a fulfilling journey in many ways. For me, the most important thing is knowing, when I walk through those doors, that there are people I look forward to seeing every chance I get. It is truly my definition of a team environment. Not only do we help each other improve in knowledge, we support each other in our personal growth. I have been given the opportunity to discover my potential as a therapist, counselor, business woman, co-worker and overall health adviser through the platform that Action Sport provides. The clients that faithfully seek our expertise give me the drive and determination to always go further in discovering my own potential in order for me to bring them to a higher place in their potential. I can't think of a more satisfying way to spend my time doing what I love and am passionate about.

As each season passes every year, I reassess my goals and needs as a consultant. The people, the growth, the intent, the team atmosphere, the support and the opportunity continually bring me back through the doors of Action Sport with joy, pleasure and happiness in my choice.

I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for all that you have done for me. I was told that even losing 10 pounds would help me get pregnant, when I went to see a fertility specialist. I know that my work with you (and losing weight) not only helped me get pregnant with my amazing twins, but it helped me have a healthy and safe pregnancy. My twins were born over 6 pounds each and I went full term with twins and I know this was due to healthy eating. Thank you a million from the bottom of my heart for that and for your help now.

My wife has been after me to lose weight for years and she referred me to Caryn Roll. Over these same years, I met with other nutritionists/dieticians, so I was quite skeptical in meeting a 5th. The words portrayed to me at our first meeting were: “You want to lose weight, so we’re going to make this a FUN challenge.” That got my attention quickly. After over 4 months of constant weight loss (down over 30 lbs.), I can say that “I found the groove that works for me”. (Doc Hudson, Disney/Pixar “Cars” (2006)) Strategies provided by Caryn are not simple. However, how these strategies are portrayed enable me to understand what I have to do, how and why. This challenge has been the most difficult undertaking that I have ever initiated for myself, and I am succeeding. There is a long way to go (100+ lbs), but I “found the groove”, have the confidence and Caryn has the strategies that consistently continue to work for me. Thanks Caryn!

Hi everyone at Action Sport Physio. Thank you for asking me to help you out with a personal testimony. I am happy to do so. Let's just say...that I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I first came to Action Sport Physio approximately four years ago, when my back problems were once again acting up. Truthfully, I had recently moved into the area and it was a convenient location for me. I first met Ronnie, who assessed me, and then it was just a matter of time until everyone in the Clinic worked on me. I have a chronic back condition that only seems to get worse and manifests itself everywhere in my body, depending on the day, so i'm proud to say that during the first year or two, I became quite the fixture at Action Sport. Luckily for me, I eventually came across a lady named Katie, who has taken the time to get to know me very, very well. She has designed programs specifically for me to strengthen me and challenge me through dance, Essentrics, swimming, massage reflexology and physio-type treatments. I have always referred people to Action Sport Physio because I had the pleasure of getting to know everyone there so well, and what their individual areas of expertise were, and therefore was able to direct friends and relatives to therapists who could help make a difference in their lives too. So.....was it merely a random event when I drove by Action Sport 4 years ago and wrote down the phone number? No, because everything happens for a reason.

After a running accident, I ended up with a horrible ankle sprain. I thought my life was ruined because I COULDN’T RUN and I was in constant pain. For 6 weeks I was seeing “another physiotherapist” from “another clinic” and I wasn’t happy with the results; I was in constant pain, limping and not able to even walk around the block. I made a decision to get a second opinion from Action Sport Physio and immediately started treatment with them. Voila! The constant pain is gone, the mobility is back and after two short weeks, tomorrow I start running indoors!! They are absolutely the best! On December 31st 2010 I’ll be running the 2011 Resolution Run, Old Port in Montreal!

First off, Ronny, I cannot begin to tell you what an awesome job you did in making my shoulder better. I walked into Action Sport this past summer thinking and feeling that I would never be able to use my shoulder again, the pain was so severe I had spent the 3 weeks prior going back and forth to the emergency, medications and nothing was working and I almost felt that no one was believing the pain I was actually in. From the moment I walked in the door at Action Sport - it was uphill from thereon in. For the next 6 weeks - I had physio, acupuncture, and tough at first but so well worth it in the end, I was actually enjoying my visits (as crazy as that may sound). Ronny, you are a class act guy and right at the top in what you do. Thanks to you and all the staff who helped me. My shoulder feels great !!! Both my wife Brenda and myself have highly recommended you and the Montreal West team as the "best" physio in town. Again, many thanks. Kind regards, Gerry Crane & Brenda Halfyard

The Pilates instructor is AMAZING! She’s friendly easy to talk to and so totally knows what she’s doing. She works out a program best suited for your needs – be it toning, pain management, whatever. And what’s great about this program – she’s flexible with it. Any problems with exercises – she’ll tone it down to your level of durability and / or flexibility. Any pain or tight muscles – she’ll scrap the exercises planned and go “rehab” to ease what’s been worked out. Yeah – she gives homework but heck – so far I got me a set of buns that look sizzlin’ in a pair of jean, a stomach that bounces quarters, and coming soon- I’m getting’ sexy back YEAH!!! Luv ya Samya

Sabrina was very effective at treating my injury. She was very professional and helped me recover very fast. This was my second injury and once again Sabrina took care of it nicely. I would recommend her any day to anyone.

Having had lower back pain (injury) in the past the treatment by Sabrina immediately started the healing. I believe the therapy process helped me greatly reduce the need for any medication. After 5 sessions and following my “at home” recovery I feel great. Understanding the need to be a patient with patience is and has always increased my recovery time. Sabrina was knowledgeable, friendly and made the recovery more tolerable. I would recommend all to having their physio with Sabrina.

I re-injured my back, which I had herniated 8 months early, to the point where I could barely walk or put my socks on. I tried drugs, chiro and massage but made no progress. Ronny did an assessment and he started me on exercises to relax my back and realign my spine. Between visits with Ronny the osteopath and the Pilates he recommended and now I am feeling great and am starting to play ultimate again. Thanks Ronny!

With only 3 weeks before my rugby semi-finals, I separated my shoulder in a crucial game. I continued playing for 30 minutes, hoping that the injury wasn’t too severe. After consulting our team’s athletic therapist, I came to see Sabrina for treatment. She had me healed up and ready to play in time for my semi-finals. I even got compliments that day for my super hard hits! Thanks Sabrina!

While playing soccer I fell on my right knee. I could hardly walk off the field. The next day it wasn’t much better, so my dad took me into Action Sport Physio. There my knee was looked at and I found out I had bruised my knee bone. They put ice on my knee and gave me stretches. On Friday I was much better I could walk, run and do everything I did before I got injured. Thank you very much!!!

Before I arrived at action sport my ankle was in a great deal of pain and had basically no mobility. Through an effective exercise plan and helpful tips, my physiotherapist Sabrina and Camille graciously helped me recover from my injury. I was able to track my progress and saw a full improvement due to their hard work and helpful nature. My physiotherapy allowed me to regain full mobility and use of my ankle.

When I first started my treatments with Sabrina the pain in my neck and upper back was almost unbearable. After just one session I could already feel the tension going away. I was given exercises to help relieve the tension in my neck and they worked very well. As I continued my appointments and my exercises the pain kept getting better and now after my fourth session I feel much more relaxed and my tension is gone.

Patient : Valerie F.

In the beginning , my back muscle was like a knot. After the first session, the pain decreased and the knot loosened up. The second session loosened the knot much more and the pain decreased substantially. The pain was no longer in that one area. After the third session, the knot was 90% gone and the pain came and went after a few seconds. The exercises to do every day really helped me out a lot.

I came to Action Sport a couple of weeks ago with a pain on my right lower back. I received physiotherapy a couple of times for two weeks. In addition I was given a series of exercises to do on my own in order to solve the problem. My back has improved very much. Sabrina is Fantastic! I am a lot more aware of what caused the problem and how to keep my back in better shape. Thank you Sabrina...you are great!

I came into Action Sport Physio without knowing anyone and I was made to feel comfortable and safe. My physiotherapist is very knowledgeable, friendly and open. Personally I benefited greatly at Action Sport Physio much more than at the hospital. Action Sport is very “ACTIVE” in their approach. From beginning to end my experience was very positive. Good to know, up to date knowledgable therapists who have incredible hands on treatment. I feel as though I never had a surgery. I feel so great! Thank you

I had a severe back problem(numbness on my left side, involuntary cramping in my left foot,pain in my hip, lower back and butt area) for more than a year and January 2008 we finally got the results to explain what was wrong and my choices on how to fix were surgery or the natural way( physiotherapy, chiropractor, and massage therapy). Well I decide to go the natural . I was not convinced nor was my doctor that surgery on my back at 35 was the best decision. But then my dilemma started. Physiotherapists are a dime a dozen and you could be lucky to get one that was actually interested in treating you or you could get one that just hooks you up on a machine, claim this will solve all your ailments. I was fortunate enough to have some friends recommend their physiotherapist to me but unfortunately they were to far and the waiting list too long. I drive through Montreal West on a daily basis and kept seeing the building of Action sport. Sport therapy would be would be helpful to me for I am an active person and had to slow down because of my back. So I went on line, did some research , liked what I read and decided to take the chance. I figured if they didn’t have what I was looking for, someone that is attentive to my needs,who can listen to the problem and not try to solve it in between my sentences would be great. I felt I would be able to determine that after the first session if it didn’t work I would try out the suggestins from my friend, no harm, no fowl. The day I called to make my first appointment I was fortunate that my therapist would be Ronny the owner. I was happy with that for I knew to myself if the owner couldn’t help me then that was a sigh I would need to go elsewhere. My first session was great. I met Ronny and explained to him my situation, showed him my medical documents. We talked, I expressed my concerns and what I was hoping would happen. He listened, did a physical test, walking, mobility,etc. Then he explained to me what he was thinking and what strategy we would use to get through my problem. He pointed out that he was not a miracle worker but he believed he knew where the problem lied and with some hard work and diligence on my part we might be able to rectify my problem. I was listening to him and liked what I heard but wasn’t convinced yet. He then started working on my leg, under my thigh etc. My problem was being caused in my back but it wasn’t coming from my back. That turned the light bulb on, all this time everyone has been working on my back(lower & upper) hearing me complain about my back they assumed that’s where the pain was. After my first session I was feeling it but for the first time I wasn’t feeling it in my back. The weekend was long but when I returned for my follow up session on Monday I could move in ways I hadn’t been able to for a while and the pain in my lower back was gone, by the end of the week I was ready to jump some hurdles. I felt like my back was mine again. I play volleyball and have been very cautious when blocking or spiking because I was always worried that if I landed wrong it would be all over, but now I felt unstoppable. I was walking, jumping doing aerobics, my active self was revived and this was after 3 sessions(1 week). I had found the therapist who listened to my problem, found the main source and explained to me what he could do without the use of a machine and a hot water bottle. But by applying physical methods to wake up the parts that were sleeping, with different exercises to make me better and stronger. I made a good connection with Ronny. He was compassionate, understanding, genuine and most of all he knew what he was doing. I am still in therapy and loving every minute of it because the results speak more then a million words. I am able to sleep at night again because my biggest fear before therapy was that I would wake up one morning and not be able to walk. Instead I leap out of bed each morning knowing I’m getting stronger and stronger.

I came to see Ronny on a referral from a friend. It was a week after my injury and I thought it would heal on its own. My injury was taking much longer to heal and I made an appointment. The first session was painful but Ronny told me that it is good to get the blood flowing. After just several sessions, I started to feel the improvement and the healing process sped up . I will be back in action in less than 2 weeks after my first visit.

Experience, convenience and results are what will bring me back. I look forward to using their other professional services available. Thanks Ronny and Staff!!

Since I’ve begum physiotherapy following surgery on my leg, I have been able to get back on my feet in record amount of time. The swelling in the leg has gone down considerately since we’ve begun the exercises and ice/heat therapy. I am able to bend forward on my ankle with less strain and the various exercises. I’ve been given exercises to do at home which have helped with mobility and balance. All in all, the physiotherapy has been well worth it and has given me back some of the freedom I had before my accident. Thank you, Sabrina and Action Sport Physio Montreal West for all of your help and patience.

I played a tennis match one morning and woke up the next day barely able to hobble down the stairs. Hurt my right knee and no idea how. Eventually, on the advice of a friend, I walked to Action Sport Physio Montreal West. It turns out that the knee was part of a larger problem, side effects from a horseback riding accident many years ago in which I broke my back and jaw. Ronny treated my knee and then worked on my back issues, Ryan worked on developing core strength and balance with a personal training program and Jen massaged the areas worked on as I readjusted to the changes. I dropped 20lbs which my knee greatly appreciates, am back playing tennis and learning to listen to my body as an older athlete and pace it accordingly. I am in better shape than I have been in a long time and it feels great. The team at Montreal West are wonderful. They all work together to design a program that works for you. I keep up with the personal training at the clinic as with my medical history I will always have to work on the various side effects of my accident and I have a team of experts that can deal with issues as they crop up and cheer me on! No need to be a pro…to be treated like one. This is the motto of Action Sport Physio Montreal West….and they live up to it.

Ronny has created an amazing environment which stimulates learning and enjoyment. I have had the opportunity to grow as a physiotherapist and as a VPO at Mo-West. Being one of the first employees I had the opportunity to see our team build and change over time. There have been obstacles along the way but we have always been lucky enough to have amazing staff wanting to work with us, and the clinic has flourished because of them. I think it has to do with the warming clientele, friendly neighborhood and fun staff. From that first day I have now also become a mother and spending a year away from the clinic with my extended family, has been difficult. I don’t get to laugh and spend time in the staff room, and hear new stories from the interesting clients, and I don’t get to share new techniques and experiences with my colleagues. We have become a family over time and our own families have also become friends in our circle. Overall, Mo-West has been a great choice in my life. Yes, some days do get stressful but I always know that there are individuals around me to lend a helping hand and at the end of the day we always pull through. Everyone does a bit more than there own tasks to help out and that’s what makes me want to go to work each day!

As a new therapist at Montreal West, I was both excited and a little nervous to start in this new environment. I was quickly welcomed into the family and felt at home within my first week. I had an employer that took time to listen and offer suggestions. I had colleagues that were both easy to joke around with, yet took their job seriously and, most importantly, I felt that the clientele recognized the difference in quality of service that was being offered at this clinic. I see many opportunities for growth in my practice at Montreal West and this I attribute it to the young dynamic team that surrounds me.

Je travaille depuis 1 an chez Action Sport Physio Montréal Ouest en tant que thérapeute du sport. Un des aspects que j'apprécie le plus de travailler chez ASP est le travail d'équipe. J'aime pouvoir travailler avec différents professionels de la santé. Tout le monde a une approche différente et nous apprenons beaucoup en discutant et en travaillant avec les autres. Je me suis beaucoup développée en tant que thérapeute depuis 1 an et je crois que c'est parce que je travaille dans un environnement stimulant. Je suis une bien meilleure thérapeute aujourd'hui et je ne crois pas que je me serais développée autant si je n'avais pas été aussi bien entourée. Mes collègues de travail sont toujours ouverts à essayer de nouvelles approches, à innover et à essayer de nouvelles façons de faire. L'équipe chez ASP est très amicale. Les relations de travail sont très bonnes et ça rend le travail de tout le monde beaucoup plus facile et plaisant. Côté professionnel, je travaille aussi avec les Condors de Kahnawake dans la ligue de hockey Jr AAA du Québec et je suis aussi étudiante de 3eme année en ostéopathie. J'apprécie beaucoup qu'on me permette d'ajuster mon horaire en fonction du hockey et de mes cours. Mon expérience chez Action Sport Physio Mtl Ouest est très enrichissante et je souhaite la poursuivre encore longtemps.

I've been working at Action Sport Physio for 4 years and I love coming to work everyday. The staff is like family and it's a great atmosphere to be in. The clients are also friendly and kind. Montréal Ouest is a great community to work in.

I began my journey at Action Sport Physio 4 and a half years ago on a sunny May afternoon. I was just ending my third semester of University. I was very shy and the evening receptionist position I accepted from Ronny Varga was about to change my life. Overwhelmed with a new world of healing I was unfamiliar with, I had to challenge my personal client service capabilities with the shyness I was working to overcome. I was immediately comfortable with my surroundings. The team at Action Sport Physio-Montreal West quickly became a team of professionals I would grow to highly respect. They were so patient, accepting and willing to teach me the tools I would need to allow me to help our patients arriving in need of information and treatment. When I found myself graduating from university I was openly willing to accept the full time position we had available at the clinic as a career path. Shortly after, I was shocked to be promoted to Vice-President Administration. I could not see myself working anywhere else. The team that's handpicked by Ronny has grown and changed over the last few years and the clinic has grown and changed over the last few years as well. The clinic improvements have allowed us to provide an even better personalized quality of service to our clients and our ever growing team and vibe have always stayed the same. I am so proud to say that I joined an amazing team of professionals.
