What RMT’s do in BC

View Original on Prezi

Sheri has always helped me resolve my issues. The best proof of her skill is the
time I limped into her office, and walked out normally! My doctor had been
unable to help me, she just suggested I had arthritis, not bothering to
investigate further. When I went to see Sheri, she found that my hips were out
of alignment, thereby causing me to limp. Sheri did manipulations on my joints
and realigned my hips. I could walk normally again! It was great!

I came to Sheri in a state of full blown PTSD. Her intuition, coupled with her
wide range of skills and knowledge, supported my mind and body to eventually
allow healing to begin. She was able to create a safe space for me to accept
touch in a trusting therapeutic relationship. With Sheri's help and with
a skilled counsellor I have travelled far on my healing journey. Thank you,
Sheri

I have always highly recommended Sheri to my family and friends. Her manner is easy-going and the office environment is comfortable. Her healing hands have helped me tremendously over the years, both pre and post-surgery. Her knowledge of the body is impressive: not only does she provide excellent care with massage, she also is able to gently put me back into alignment when my hips go askew, and she provides advice on exercises to help me strengthen and stretch weak areas.

"I was referred to Sheri by a friend who was terminally ill and very demanding of members of her health care team. I knew Sheri had to be good. I wasn't disappointed! Sheri has a warm, caring approach and takes the time needed to determine her client's needs. Her touch is seemingly gentle but highly effective. She is much missed in Victoria!"

"I have had the pleasure of working with the team at Reach Health both personally and professionally. I have been very impressed with how the practitioners have communicated with me in regards to clients needs and I have seen wonderful results with the clients we have co-cared for together. I have found the practitioners I have worked with to be compassionate, professional and the clinic to be very welcoming."

I have been a patient of Sheri’s for over 15 years. Sheri has been extremely helpful with not only massage therapy but also by providing me with exercises to do between appointments. She takes the time to explain why I am experiencing the pain and her treatments are wonderful. I trust her completely to provide the most appropriate care. Sheri is very honest, providing you with a treatment plan so you are not coming back unnecessarily. I have often recommended Sheri to friends, and even though her move from Victoria to Sidney means a longer drive for me, it is definitely worth it. I want to congratulate Sheri on opening her own clinic and wish her much success for the future!

Sheri is a gifted healer. Her massage treatments are extremely beneficial. Sheri listens carefully to my concerns and always has important information to share. She also offers easy exercises that I can practice at home. Her knowledge of musculature is extensive; she has ways to describe what’s going on that are helpful and easy to understand. I’m so grateful I found her!!

"I appreciate Sheri's patience and clear teaching ability. She helps her patients maintain their own physical strength and flexibility by demonstrating exercise routines that address the patterns of their lives. Her wide range of skill means that she can address many physical issues. She will always refer if your problem is outside of her skill set. I find her competent, professional and ethical besides being a good, down to earth person."

I have been a client of Mary for a year or so now and I always look forward to and enjoy my sessions.
Mary always takes the time to listen to my issues addresses them in our session.
Mary is conscientious, intuitive and always gives an excellent massage.

Alternating bi-weekly visits to Lisa and Mary have proven effective in significantly reducing the chronic pain associated with my osteo-arthritis... indeed, their treatments have accomplished far more than just pain management, but extend to vastly improved mobility, gait, function and strength.

And the added bonus? Lisa and Mary bring so much more than mere professionalism or clinical competency to their respective practices... they genuinely care for their patients and are truly gifted healers.

"I have suffered with chronic shoulder, hip and neck issues for many years and have visited many massage practitioners. I have found Sheri Griffiths to be one of the best massage therapists in the city. Her massage treatments relieve my stiffness and discomfort so that I can function much better at work and at home. Sheri is pleasant, attentive, and professional. I highly recommend Sheri for your massage therapy needs."

Lisa has been amazing. I have some arthritis in my shoulder and her acupuncture treatments have helped more than anything else. Thanks Lisa.

I have been a client of Reach Health for over two years. The staff at Reach Health provide a comprehensive approach to treating their patients, ensuring all avenues are assessed and discussed with the client to ensure a full treatment plan is considered.

They offer a variety of services and I have had the opportunity to receive massage treatment, acupuncture and aquanetics treatment. All of their staff are knowledgeable, professional and supportive in their treatment approach.

The availability of staff for making appointments in person or on line is a significant benefit. Their hours are flexible and cover 6 days a week which allows for easily booking your appointments around your own busy schedule.

From a treatment perspective, I have found great success in their approach and treatment methods. They listen, adapt and provide a treatment plan that adjusts as you increase your health or adjust if a new approach is required. Listening to the client is key and they certainly take that approach to ensure success in the clients health.

I strongly recommend Reach Health for anyone looking to recover from an injury or if you are seeking treatment for continued health or maintaining a healthy body and mind.

"Sheri is an outstanding RMT. She combines sensitivity, perceptiveness, great communication skills, good humour and genuine caring into her practice. She adapts the style of treatment to help specific conditions, sometimes including gentle manipulation and osteopathy in a way that complements the massage treatment. If you are looking for stress relief or you are faced with a specific injury or condition, I cannot recommend Sheri highly enough."

I have been wanting to let Reach Health Clinic know just how much I value the past three years that I have been a client. Reach is my first call when life and my body don't get along and I have been fortunate to have received comfort and relief from all of the professional therapists, past and present. They take time to investigate my concerns and even instruct me how to better look after myself between visits. From acupuncture to specialized massage, to community events (Christmas parade) and headache and arthritis relief, there is no other place I would turn to. Rock on!!

"Sheri is open and accepting of me as an individual. She is non-judgmental and sincere in her attempts to help me with my concerns. I have been seeing her for 4 years and she has helped me continue to improve my flexibility, reduce pain and improve muscle tone for dealing with my medical concerns. She not only helps relieve tense, sore muscles but always gives me exercises and techniques to do at home. I look forward to our visits and know that she will help my body and therefore my mind."

Sheri Grififiths, RMT is an experienced professional. Her treatments have enabled me to be drug free from chronic pain and mobile for many years. One could not ask for more.

I cannot say enough about Sheri Griffiths. She is an extraordinary massage therapist who kept me moving during my running days and marathon training. When no one else could, Sheri diagnosed a painful sports related neck injury that was extremely debilitating. Thanks to her expertise and recommendations, I was able to receive the proper treatment and get back on my feet. Sheri has a calm, reassuring, highly experienced approach to health and wellness. She has treated family members and friends, all who feel she is absolutely outstanding in her field. I am thrilled to have her practicing closer to my work! Welcome to Sidney !
