"I am so impressed with this physio clinic! My partner and I receive such great care from Damian. He is very genuine and really spends the time needed to ensure that our ailments are looked after. This isn't the the kind of physio clinic that juggles multiple people at once but rather each 30 minute session is purely spent on one person. I would highly recommend Granville Phyio for Shockwave therapy Manual therapy and IMS."

"As an athlete most of my life and now in my 60’s, my sports-related injuries have kept me seeking good physiotherapy for relief from pain and healing of my injuries. Amongst other things, Jim Bowie has treated my prosthetic right shoulder (skiing), a damaged elbow and forearm (biking) and dreadful TMJ and jaw pain (car accident – not sports this time). Having had years of conventional physiotherapy, including IMS needles, I must say that the new shockwave treatments that I have received from Jim have produced astounding results. I have increased range of motion and strength and a huge decrease in my pain levels. I highly recommend shockwave treatments."
- Doug, retired lawyer
"Granville Physio used the new “Shockwave" treatment on my shoulder recently - with good results. I’m always suspicious of new gimmicks - but this seems to be a solid technology and it seems to have worked - to my surprise. It felt like a mini jack hammer on my shoulder (but no pain or discomfort really). After each treatment my range of motion and comfort improved. And after three treatments my range of of motion was right back to where is should be. I like the theory of it - breaking up Calcium deposits through gentle ultrasonic “jackhammering”. And in actual practice - it worked for me. Thanks Granville Physio"

After one shockwave treatment:
"My right thigh feels NORMAL for the first time in years! My kneecap feels comfortable. The muscle feels like I think it should. I just did some one legged squats by holding onto my desk facing towards it and holding it with both hands for balance and listened and the crepitus coming from my left knee is greater than that from my previously worse right knee. Walking down stairs I get an equal volume of crepitus, also a dramatic improvement."

"I had been training to get on a municipal fire department for years, but the chronic injuries I've lived with since my childhood were holding me back. When I sought help, Damien came highly recommended from firefighters and EMS workers alike. I was pleased to see that Damien was skilled in a variety of modalities, and his skill was only matched by his positive attitude. His commitment to my well being was beyond anything that I had ever received in a professional health care setting. I'm happy to say that with Damien's help, I've now got my dream job! Thanks Damien!"

"Granville Physio is by far the nicest clinic I have been to in Vancouver. They have state of the art equipment, and very accessible parking. As a dancer, I have acquired multiple injuries that Jim has been able to treat as well as get me back to dancing in a very short period of time without compromising or risking my body's health. I strongly recommend Granville Physio as a whole, it's a very professional environment with approachable staff and amazing physio therapists. Granville Physio is definitely the place to go!!"

"I would describe Jim Bowie as an outstanding physiotherapist. His treatment of me for a serious shoulder injury allowed me to avoid frozen shoulder and to regain a full range of motion in my shoulder and arm. My doctor was very impressed with these results. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and his explanations of the exercises for healing are clear and easy to follow. He is highly organized and keeps precise track of what is being worked on as each session evolves. He is also kind, patient and skilled at using humour and conversation to distract from occasional discomfort during some of the treatments. His approach is truly motivating and encouraging and it really helped me to persevere with the exercises I needed to do.
I have returned to Jim for help with some strength and flexibility issues and once again I am seeing good improvements. I feel very confident that his treatment and teaching will allow me to remain fit and continue to enjoy physical activity as I age. I have told many friends about Jim Bowie and I recommend him very highly to anyone looking for a great experience with physiotherapy. If you do what he tells you to do, you will get results!"

"Jim Bowie is a one of a kind physiotherapist. He is not only knowledgeable but also extremely precise in his treatment. Jim treats our entire family, including my 85 year old mother. If you are having persistent pain in your joints and muscle, please give Jim's office a call."
- Christine, office manager
"Been to Jim when I lived in Vancouver; now I live in Poco, he is worth the trip to Vancouver, best physio in town. Will definitely recommend!"
- Alvin, nurse
"I started seeing Damien because I had an upper back injury from weight training. After a few sessions, I got relief from my discomfort and I continued to see him afterwards. Damien used a variety of different techniques from dry needling to hands on treatment to help with my symptoms. Damien is a friendly, out-going and very knowledgeable in physiology. I continued to visit Damien on a regular basis to improve my imbalances, range of motion and preventative care as well. I would recommend Damien to any person who wants to address any chronic or acute injuries and ultimately work towards creating a healthier future for themselves."
