I’ve been going to ALAIA for a few years now and I have so much to say! First off the space has such a fresh and clean vibe. You can tell everything is so well taken care of and every detail is important. This attention continues into your service but before we get there I have to give a shout out to the front desk team! They are always so warm and welcoming. Their care in making sure your service goes smoothly is second to none! You can tell that they not only care about you but they also care and support their team. I have seen almost everyone here and I have always left feeling better! The blend of manual/exercise based therapy is such a perfect blend for me. Troy and Kat have helped me so much when it comes to my jaw pain, hip imbalances and much more. When I did my first half marathon this year Sam helped me with a running assessment that got me to the finish line injury free! Lastly you’ll never meet anyone who loves a deep tissue more than me so you know Dave is always my fav! I could go on and on but the proof is in the pudding and this crew has the best pudding in town :)

Highly recommend Alaia for those in need of physiotherapy services in the downtown area. I saw James McDermott for an extended period of time and he was amazing! I did both normal physio treatments and physio mixed with pilates (the clinic has a reformer). I also saw Troy Clare when James was away on holidays, and he was great (and so friendly/funny)! The owner, Katrina, saw me in an emergency situation and not only did she help me in an extreme time of need, but you could tell that she really loves what she does and cares deeply for her clients and this clinic. The administrative team were always lovely. The clinic is nice, clean and new. Parking can be an issue, but it's manageable.

Alaia Physiotherapy Sports + Wellness is truly the best physiotherapy and massage clinic I have ever been treated by. The entire staff are complete legends; a network of kind, caring, and highly skilled professionals. I suffer from chronic lower body pain issues, which have been the focus of my sessions at Alaia. In a short time they've made my life manageable again, and the experiences at Alaia have had a hugely positive impact in my life. If you are in need of physio, massage, acupuncture, or any of the other wonderful services Alaia offers then you should absolutely book an appointment without delay!

I’ve seen Kat a few times now and It’s been a pretty kind blowing and incredible experience. I’ve been playing sports my entire life and have yet to meet a therapist of any kind who’s as thoughtful and effective as Kat. Her work helped me recover from a torn hamstring so much quicker than I had anticipated. I was able to play in my baseball finals and a football tournament the following weekend at full speed. Before seeing her I’d told both teams I wouldn’t be able to play. Im so grateful and could not recommend this clinic more. Reception is always kind and welcoming. I’d give as many stars as the app will let me.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences at Alaia Physio over the years. Katrina Sovio is professional, knowledgeable and talented. Her toolkit contains multiple modalities that have provided me with immediate and long-term relief. She’s very busy but it’s worth getting on her waitlist.

Alaia Physio is excellent. I have been seeing Kat for years now and she cured my headaches and stiff neck and shoulder through her extensive clincial knowledge and magic touch with IMS. I was seeing a neurologist prior to her giving me freezing (not Botox) injections in my scalp and forehead to try and ease my headaches but nothing helped until Kat came to my rescue. I have been to many Physiotherapists and never left feeling like it made a difference until I met Kat. The staff is friendly and courteous and do their best to accommodate you with appointments to fit your schedule. Highly recommend Alaia Physio. Best in town!

Started going to Alaia recently for ongoing neck and shoulder pain that I’ve struggled with for almost four years. Alaia is the first physio clinic that has truly relieved my pain, allowing me to feel pain-free and back to my normal self.

I've visited Alaia several times for various knee/hip issues and have always been impressed with their professionalism and level of expertise. They take great care in addressing the issue at hand and provide detailed exercise programs to assist with recovery. Their space is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend Alaia for anyone in need of physiotherapy

I have been going to Alaia for a number of years now for ongoing management of my complex back issues and highly recommend them. I am always impressed with the level of expertise of my physio and feel confident that I am in good hands. I also enjoy the calm and friendly atmosphere of the clinic and their excellent exercise equipment.

Thanks to the exceptional care at Alaia Physiotherapy Sports + Wellness I am able to lead a healthy and active life. I've had chronic neck and back issues most of my life. I tried many treatment options in the past. It wasn't until I started receiving treatment at Alaia that my back issues finally stabilized. I was also treated for a vestibular balance issue with great success. Their high level of professional care, friendly and welcoming staff, and beautiful office space is second to none. I highly recommend their services.

If you're in search of exceptional physiotherapy or massage services, look no further – Alaia is the place to be. I've been a loyal client for nearly four years now and have had the pleasure of working with their skilled physiotherapists, Kat and Troy, both of whom are outstanding. Additionally, their massage therapist, Dave, is truly one of the best in the field. The clinic's location is conveniently situated, and it exudes cleanliness and a welcoming, sunny atmosphere. The reception staff consistently offers warm and friendly service, making every visit a pleasant experience. I'm a devoted fan of this establishment and highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-notch care.

Troy is the best physiotherapist in Vancouver. I have done a postural assessment and some treatments for my hip and lower back and I got an instant result and relief after my session. It was a great and informative experience!

I had an incredible experience at Alaia on my first visit. It's so clean and well put together from the moment you walk in the door. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful, and everything I needed to do (sit down and wait for 2 minutes) was very clear. My RMT Michael is incredible. He spent time gathering info before putting together his plan for the session. He's super easy going but really strong and precise and I felt a HUGE release throughout my hip and upper back. It was exactly what I was looking for (and didn't even fully know it myself). I walked out today feeling light and alert with a spring in my step ready to take on the day. I HIGHLY recommend Alaia!!!

This is hands down the best physiotherapy clinic I have ever been to. I've been seeing Kat regularly for my neck and back pain for over 2 years and it's really made a difference. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the physiotherapists are extremely understanding and knowledgeable. I always look forward to my appointments not only for pain relief, but also because the physiotherapists truly care about their patients. I highly recommend Alaia Physiotherapy Sports & Wellness—I've since moved out of downtown but I still make the trek downtown because I cannot fathom switching to a different practitioner!

I think Alaia is one of my favourite places ever and is a gold standard for all the health and wellness clinics in the country. Kat (the owner, a great therapist and a super-woman) has created a fantastic environment you couldn't wait to visit. I've been working with her, Sam (the best physio sessions ever!), James (great clinical pilates workouts), Michael (absolutely magical RMT) - and everyone has been extremely professional, used relevant technics that are supported by scientific data and modern research (I have zero loyalty to pseudoscience), and also deeply cared about my immediate experience and long-term wellbeing. Tanya and the admin/receptionists team are awesome as well, and everything is sparkling clean. I love this place and can't recommend it more.

I had an injury from falling and hurting my right side in January 2017. I went to see Kat from Alaia right away. I had sprain, my fibula bone was out of place and I had back pain. I wasn't able to run or walk for long durations. But after my benefits were up I stop going to physiotherapy. For the last 4-5 years, I went to see 2 other physiotherapist before coming back to Alaia for Kat. I can honestly say what a difference. The other 2 physiotherapist had made me worst and did improve my injury. I've been back with Kat since January 2021 and been working consistently with her this year. It has be a life changer. I am able to run for longer durations. I am also way more resilient and stronger than I was before. I even had a fall this year in October, which I thought would of set me back from my recover. However, I went to see Kat right away and with her support and my strength training at Symmetrix I was able to bounce back. I feel I have the right support and guidance to continue to grow stronger and healthier.

Have had physio with Troy and it was great! You only get what you put into physio, but they make it easy with a useful app that is personalized to the stretches you need to do and it gives you reminders throughout the day too. Dave is a fantastic massage therapist as well. Front desk staff is always friendly and helpful too.

I've been working with James for some months now and I am very satisfied with his service. James pays close attentions to details and does not generalize your condition based on the general population, he truly takes his time to assess you individually and meticulously. I am impressed with the knowledge he has and the amount of attention he pays to each individual concern or update I provide to him. Lastly, he is extremely efficient; I only go for 30 minute sessions and he really takes advantage of every single minute - no time wasted!

I have been to many different physios over the last 10+ years, and Alaia has been my favourite by far. The office is bright and modern, extremely clean and sanitary, and very welcoming. The reception staff is always very nice and helpful with all scheduling. Dave is the best RMT I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Kat is extremely knowledgeable and talented as a physiotherapist and in IMS/dry needling. I am extremely grateful for the Alaia team and their services the past 5 years!

Best Physiotherapists in the lower mainland! I have been seeing Kat for multiple issues, from hyper-mobile joints to sports injuries, over the last few years. Her and her team are top-notch and my experience every time I visit is consistently excellent. I am always greeted with respect and kindness. During the past couple of years, what I have appreciated most is their consideration of their patients well-being. I support their mask mandate, as both myself and my family are compromised. Knowing that Kat and her team are doing everything in their power to create a space that's safe for everyone, motivates me to write this review and encourage anyone looking for a great Physiotherapist to reach out to the Alaia team.

I had a great RMT session with James. The whole experience was otherworldly. From the relaxed atmosphere, the calm music and the warm bed. I asked James to focus more on the neck area, which he did and he was proactively listening and asking for feedback. Will book again

100% recommend Alaia, the level of care and expertise is amazing! I’ve been to 3 other physio clinics in last 15 years in Vancouver and the Alaia is by far the best. I’ve seen both Kat and Troy for different injuries over the last 6-7 years. They are both fantastic! They are super knowledgeable, really care about their clients, take time to explain injuries, give great treatment plans that work. The full appointment time is one on one, the physios are not seeing multiple clients at the same time. The clinic itself is a lovely space, it’s clean and new. The treatment rooms are also private. All the staff are so nice and friendly! I’ve referred friends here and they have also had great experiences and positive treatment outcomes.

Excellent clinic - I've gone to Katrina with a variety of minor injuries over the past five years; she's fast and accurate at diagnosing injuries and treatment has always been extremely effective. The clinic is always extremely clean and running on time, with polite and friendly folks at reception.
