Instil Physio

Extremely happy with my experience with Micaela at Instil Physio. The longer appointments are not covered by most standard insurance providers, but are very valuable and make all the difference! I felt that I got way more out of each appointment and saw noticeable improvement after each visit. Micaela is very knowledgeable and up to date on current research and protocols rather than just defaulting to common advice. In my case, this meant working with me to avoid surgery for an athletic injury rather than jumping to surgery. Best physio I have ever worked with!

I would recommend Micaela to anyone! Micaela is the best physio I have ever been to! Although it is a little expensive she is worth every penny. I have dealt with chronic pain most of my life and I have never felt so validated. Any time I mention something that hurts Micaela thoroughly evaluates the areas and always locates places to treat/improve. She goes beyond just providing exercises but examines other areas of need in your life such as sleep, stress, nutrition etc. and she provides resources to help along the way. I feel comfortable bringing up even the smallest issues to her. She takes the time to explain why we are doing treatments or exercises backed by research and extensive knowledge. This is the first time I have been treated with electro-acupuncture but it, along with Micaela has changed my life. I feel like a new person ready to get back into exercise and sport. You can tell she truly cares about your wellbeing and is there to support you.

I highly recommend Micaela at Instil Physio. I have been working with her for many years and she has supported me through various stages of my life including when I was plateauing with my training, various injuries while playing a competitive sport, pregnancy and returning to sport after having a baby. She truly cares about her clients and makes sure she knows what your goals are and makes them a priority at your treatment.

Micaela is absolutely amazing! I have been seeing her for a few years now and could imagine working with anyone else. As a Female Athlete, I feel Micaela is the best of the best to have on my team. She is incredibly knowledgeable is always up to date with new research and individualized approaches. Micaela cares for each and every athletes/clients and is very passionate in what she does! Every injury or concern I have had throughout my training, I go to Micaela right away and always see the best results! Thank you so much Micaela!

I’ve been working with Micaela for a few months now. As a high performance athlete, I was looking for a physio therapist that would be just as passionate about my own goals as I was. Micaela exceeded my expectations in every way possible. She always has your best interest at heart. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and professional, I would definitely recommend Micaela to anyone in a heart beat!

Micaela's expertise in neurofunctional acupuncture was critical in my recovery from a nerve irritation/radiculopathy that left me with pain, weakness, and numbness for months. Within a few visits, she restored full function in my neck and arm. In addition, I am a high-level female athlete who has struggled with chronic injury. Micaela went above and beyond to identify and treat the root causes of my injuries, connecting me with a doctor, sending me online resources, and ensuring that her treatments aligned with my individual goals and needs. Her focus on female athletes has given her specialized knowledge and a fresh perspective on helping women get back to performing their best. For any female athlete who is struggling with injury - I cannot recommend Micaela enough!

Micaela is incredible! She is so knowledgeable and up-to-date on current research and practice. She fixed a pinched nerve in my neck and provided easy-to-do exercises to prevent the issue in the future. Would recommend Micaela to anyone.

Micaela is so knowledgeable about the female body and return to sport after injury and postpartum. I had a long last hip injury that had been looked at by many physiotherapists and other professionals and Micaela found the source immediately and completely changed my healing journey! I'll be a client for life!

The best!! Micaela at Instil Physio is a step above in everyway. Her treatments, individual plans, knowledge, and personality are incredible and she always puts her patients first. Combine all that with her commitment to get the best out of you she took me from literally walking with 2 canes because of an injury to doing what I love including golfing and working as a fire fighter. There is nothing traditional about her approach and after having several different physiotherapists and months of treatment before I visited Micaela I can tell you you owe it to yourself to try her and you will see the results by following her individual plan for you.

I contacted Micaela via email in regards to my postpartum concerns and she was quick to respond and helped me to book my initial assessment. Micaela was incredibly thorough during my assessment and was able to pick up on other issues/past injuries that I had forgotten about. We focused on my postpartum issues and as they improved we focused on other areas that could use improvement/needed work on. I would recommend acupuncture if it is offered to you as Micaela is very skilled and it improved my flexibility and mobility. I feel like my entire body has been overhauled and I have been provided with the knowledge and tools to exercise properly in order to prevent injury and to be able to advance to the next level. I have seen massive improvement in my capabilities in Crossfit and horseback riding. Thanks so much Micaela!

Micaela is skilled, thoughtful and talented in her field. She is clearly very knowledgeable in her field and is enthusiastic to share with you about what she is doing and what your body needs.
I came to her after my knee surgery and she has been excellent to help me on the road to recovery. She has helped me get to know my knee's needs, limits and abilities.
She is excellent at what she does and is very versatile in her treatments.
Highly recommend!

A very knowledgeable and caring community. A few of our family members have been going to see Micaela and Kristin for a few years now (some, like our daughter; with unique challenges such as CP). Our sessions have always been very worthwhile experiences, and have helped immensely towards gains in our family's health and well-being. We have always felt cared for, listened to, and understood. Most importantly the explanations they use for the approaches / modalities applied, are done in a way that we can understand, so that we feel actively involved in our own healing process. We highly recommend Instil Physio.

I have been working with Micaela and Ben for sometime now. We have been addressing many issues that have plagued me over the years from sports injuries to work related back issues. They are the most knowledgeable and down to earth people I’ve ever worked with. Their treatment plans also complement each other perfectly.
Ben’s approach with Chiropractic health is not like anyone else I have ever worked with. It’s not a quick 10 minute adjustment and you’re on your way. His treatment works to solve the recurring injury on a larger scale, rather than a quick temporary fix like many others in his field.
Micaela is one of the most intelligent PTs I have ever worked with. Not only does she help with the current injuries, she works to restore the proper function from the bottom up. She treats the body as a whole unit. I have learned so many things about my body as she explains everything while she works .
I highly recommend Instil Physio if you have any nagging ache/pain or injury.
It’s totally worth every penny!

Micaela is an excellent physiotherapist. She listens to every detail and creates a recovery plan that works for your individual lifestyle. She has helped me feel better than I have all year thanks to her amazing acupuncture skills.

I cannot recommend Micaela enough! She is a passionate and knowledgeable practitioner who puts extra effort in to understand the context of a problem, and not just the symptom that made you seek help. Treatment is collaborative, as she helps you understand the root causes of your dysfunction, and looks for input to determine how often you're able to return for appointments and what sort of exercise or movements will both aid your recovery and fit into your life.
When an ob-gyn told me my post-natal pelvic floor pain was something I should just deal with, Micaela identified the cause and helped me recover.
When my mum was told by her doctor that she'd have to medicate arthritis pain in her wrist for the rest of her life at 58, Micaela identified the cause and helped her manage discomfort without medication.

Micaela has been my physiotherapist for a number of years. She is very conscientious and caring in her work and I have had excellent and positive improvements whether it be for a chronic or an acute issue. She listens and works with you to improve mobility and health. I would strongly recommend Micaela for rehabilitation or maintenance. Thank you Micaela !

We love Micaela !!!! She has been treating our girls for over a year now. She talks to them on a very personal level so they listen and respond to her, and are motivated to do the exercises. She is very thorough and helps the girls see results.

I've been going to Micaela on and off for several years now and keep going back to her for different reasons. Her approach is holistic and individualized and I feel empowered every time I leave my appointment! Highly recommended to anyone that wants to take charge of their health and recovery!

The holistic approach that Micaela, Kristen and Ben use has rapidly given me relief from an acute injury. I am impressed with how a thorough exam and investing the time actually made progress more rapid than expected and also uncovered the real root of another misdiagnosed chronic injury that I was managing incorrectly. You won’t find physiotherapists more passionate about helping you get back to health!

I've had the great opportunity to have been treated by Micaela of Instil Phyiso for the past few years. She has helped me rehab through a few serious injuries and solve some of my chronic issues as well. This type of treatment is the only type that has worked and continues to work for me. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work and I could not say enough good things about it!
