After spending 7 weeks on the couch healing from a busted ankle, I started coming to Coronation for physio. While here I got to know the amazing folks and check out their other services. This is where I met Karen, the massage therapist. Sitting around wasn’t just making me overweight, it was also making me stiff. Karen has helped me loosen up and even taught me some good stretches to do inbetween. Thanks Karen!

My massage therapist Karen is always able to work through all my knots and I leave refreshed with all my aches and pains worked out. She goes above and beyond and is so knowledgeable about the body and shares all she knows with me for my benefit. Excellent work!
Coronation Physio Therapy. Registered Message Therapist - “Karen Stachiw”
I am so fortunate to have found the most awesome and by far the best procedure for my weakening muscle condition.
I call it a ‘rescue’ for my long overdue discomfort, and daily having to deal with sore aching muscles. I have walked and exercised, and spent time and money on other expensive treatments to alleviate my problem, to no avail.
But to my surprise, my therapist has actually found underlying issues, which I was definitely not aware of.
To anyone reading this, I must reiterate:
Do not give up at your 4th or 5th treatment.
I am noticing results most definitely in the way I feel - much healthier, and have less achy symptoms. I can stretch with great ease, and my comfort level is such a relief. Finally!
I have not once, experienced the DOMS reaction (delayed onset of muscular soreness) This is due to the way Karen administers each treatment. She has been doing this for over 8 years. She knows precisely where to start, then follows through.
I have noticed Karen has been very proactive in keeping up to date on the latest technology and trends in all levels of physio therapy. She mentions different patients require different techniques. Under the umbrella of Manual Osteopathic Therapy - Karen holds certificates in the following modules: Myofacial Remodelling, Osteoarticulations, Involuntary Mechanisms, Visceral Manipulations. And her most recent RAPID Neurofascial Reset. Good to know someone who has thoroughly studied this complex field. Fay Chorney St. Albert, Alberta

Great care with Leigh Garvie! She always puts my joints back into place so I only need a ‘tune-up’ every now and then.
I had a great experience seeing Karen Stachiw for a massage. She is very knowledgeable with pain and tension management. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a massage therapist!
For Leigh Garvie - Coronation Physiotherapy
My doctor referred me to get physio for shoulder pain. Right away I thought of Leigh, as I had heard wonderful success stories from people. Leigh did a thorough assessment to find out where the root of the problem is. After one visit to see Leigh, I have significantly less pain, more mobility and can sleep better at night. She assigned specific exercises to help with the healing process and to strengthen the area. After a few more visits and diligently doing the exercises assigned I feel my should pain will be under control. I would recommend Leigh Garvie at Coronation Physiotherapy to anyone needing physio.
