"Treat Pain, Preserve Wellness"
I highly recommend this Centre. If given an opportunity to utilize the service or offered their truly, one of a kind "wholistic" approach in helping one become better, healthier for what ailment has set them back... TAKE IT... I am so grateful for this experience. Staff are phenomenal, and truly care about you and are passionate in the care they provide. Again thank you.
It was a enlightening experience were I learned more in 20 minutes than I have in the last 9 years about my condition. The staff are friendly and supportive. Thank you!
A truly distinctive patient focused clinic that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Friendly staff, clean office, parking available. After many visits to indifferent clinics, I feel optimistic for the first time.
The part that has kept me at PWC is the great massages I have had from Anthi. She is thoughtful and thorough in how she approaches your issues without assuming that each session will be the same as the last.I’ve experienced a lot of improvement in my neck/shoulders and have reached a point where my treatments are less urgently needed due to the pain I had been having without Anthi's help. She always offers suggestions for alleviating any of the tightness I have. Aside from being a great massage therapist, she is a calm and lovely human being who immediately put me at ease.
Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos, DC is everything a pain specialist should be. Highly recommended.
The Pain & Wellness Centre is a great place for therapy approached from many angles. I’ve been a patient for years and my experiences with different doctors, trainers and staff have been excellent.Reception is friendly, organized and efficient. Karen is a warm and welcoming therapist. Sean is a very knowledgeable chiropractor. Anthi gives the best massages and Dr Malis spearheads a great team and is very open to your needs and ailments.Overall, I would highly recommend this clinic for those in need with pain in the body and mind.
I have been a client of PWC for almost 6 years now. From the first day I visited the clinic for treatment, I was greeted by the warm staff and treated like family ever since. Dr. Sean Sutton is amazing at what he does and goes above and beyond each visit. I drive approx 2 hour round trip to see them and don’t think twice as PWC is the best. I highly recommend visiting PWC
Been a patient of this clinic for many years. Only clinic that actually solved my pain and has helped me prevent it. Huge thanks to this clinic.
I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this business to others who are in need of support through their journey. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful and they all took so much time to try all options to specify their care for me and adjust anything needed. They listened, they appreciated my story, they understood what I needed and they delivered what they could that was within their control. I can’t thank them enough for giving me the tools that I now have that i can use positively moving forward in my daily life.You all mean a lot to me and and I thank you for being a part of my journey!
Attending the IDP program at the PWC was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. My car accident left me suffering from so much trauma and pain— leaving me uncertain about how to navigate my recovery. A year later, I stumbled upon the PWC, and I'm incredibly grateful that I did.The program lasted 3-4 months, and I saw five different practitioners. Each practitioner played a role in healing my physical and emotional pain. I learned how to look at pain through the lens of mindfulness and compassion.The two most important components of this program—in my opinion— are the mindfulness and physical therapy sessions. They both taught me that pain isn’t necessarily bad and that the way you perceive it greatly influences how your body reacts to it. I learned the difference between 'hurt' and 'harm'. The pain that I was experiencing was real, but it wasn't due to lasting damage. My nervous system was so hypersensitive that the alarms continued to ring even when nothing was wrong.The mindfulness sessions have been instrumental in guiding me to center my attention on the present moment. It taught me to shift my perspective regarding my thoughts and emotions, allowing me to simply observe them without passing judgment. This transformative practice has had a profound impact on my life, introducing me to an entirely new way of seeing the world.My chiropractor, who guided the physical therapy sessions with an emphasis on exercises, played a crucial role in motivating me to stay active. Following my car accident, I was apprehensive about engaging in physical activity due to the fear of aggravating my injuries. However, I soon realized that remaining sedentary was exacerbating my pain. With my chiropractor's support, I came to understand that movement was essential for my recovery.My pain lessened dramatically during this program and continues to this day. I practice mindfulness daily, strength train four days a week, and carry a toolbox filled with valuable strategies and techniques I will use for the rest of my life. I used to view my car accident as a terrible event, and while it certainly was, I wouldn't be where I am today without it. It introduced me to these practitioners who encouraged and supported me in my healing journey—and for that, I am profoundly grateful.
I'd like to share my experience at the Pain and Wellness Centre with Nada as my Psychotherapist. She has helped me tremendously build back my confidence after a difficult life circumstance and handled my initial hesitation and fear about therapy with kindness and patience. Thank you Nada and I look forward to our continued work together.
I went to PWC with no expectations about getting better about my chronic back pain, because I went to two different pain clinics before and I didn’t see any improvement. I started a physiotherapy with Dr Alex Mailis and massage with Anthy Phillippou, they are really nice and so professional, I feel a lot better today. I don’t have to take the pain killers I used to take beforeI am very grateful for what they did for me. Truly made a difference in my life
