Alan at Revive Physiotherapy & Performance is great. He and Bryan at Catalyst have upgraded my life. I am a client for personal training at Catalyst. They share space with Alan and he was often working with clients while I was training. I could see what they were doing and gave it a try. I had never done physio and had my doubts about it. I always hear people complain about it and quit saying it didn’t do anything for them. I was so wrong to think that. Alan gave me a new lease on life. I am an avid skateboarder with 25 years worth of unattended injuries. I broke my ankle two years ago and it hasn’t felt right since then. I have experienced a lot of pain when I try to skateboard. This left me quite sad as it was my hobbie and exercise for most of my life. It is a passion and I wasn’t able to do it anymore. I thought being in my 40’s that I might have to accept not doing sports again. So I gave the physio a try. Alan is smart and a great guy to work with. When we started training I could see right away how much I needed it. He showed just how stiff my ankle had became. We talked about the parts of the foot and how your body deals with injury. We talked about what pain is telling you when you are looking for performance in sports. He knows his craft and is willing to explain all the details. The training was tough. Even though I was barely moving. After many weeks the flexibility and strength increased. I would say that I have better strength and flexibility than I ever had. It shows in my skateboarding. I can do things now that I could never do before. Even though there is pain sometimes I don’t worry. Alan explains that pain doesn’t always mean injury. That my body is protecting itself. My ankle may never be perfect again but that doesn’t mean that I can’t use it. If you are an athlete or have pain go see Alan. It will change your game. I only wish I had gone sooner.

This review is made after one year after I completed my treatment. Alan at Revive Physio provides one-to-one physiotherapy for the whole hour at a reasonable price. He is also a certified personal trainer and has Revive Fitness gym connected to the clinic. Which means he was able to incorporate weightlifting into my treatment plan. I can deadlift and barbell squat twice my body weight now. Alan taught me that movement is healing and to not be afraid of my injury. Most recently, I climbed 4 mountains and that would not have been possible 4 years ago. I am exercising daily and able to function fully again because of Alan. I also loved the SimpleSet app that allowed me to keep track of my physiotherapy exercises. I still have access to this app LONG after I completed physiotherapy. After I completed treatment, Alan provided me with a workout plan and tips to continue building strength independently. I love that he empowered me with knowledge and tools so I can continue to workout without relying on physio anymore. If it were not for Alan, I would still be in chronic pain to this day. My employment and daily living would be severely limited. If it not for Alan, I would still be cycling through the healthcare system looking for an answer. Rest assured Revive Physio is up to date with evidence-based research, unlike the majority of family doctors in healthcare that have the ability to act as gatekeepers for proper care. One year after completing treatment.. I am in shape and continue to be pain free. I am also free of the nonsense the healthcare system put me through with pain mismanagement. I have my life back and Alan has truly saved my life. I HIGHLY recommend!

I highly recommend Kyle at Revive! He helped me rehab my wrist injury that had been nagging me for months! He was very professional, personable and a lot of fun to work with! The exercises he gave me were individualized to equipment that I had at home and were easy to follow with a great program that emailed photos of the exercises in case I forgot what they were. He was constantly evolving my treatment plan so I wasn't going into the clinic and doing the same thing that I had done the week before! I was surprised at how quickly I was able to recover and am now feeling better than ever...my only regret is not going to see Kyle sooner! The booking process was easy online, with text message reminders 2 days before. Although I didn't work with Alan, he was always there and very friendly and fun as well! Thanks Kyle for all of your help!

It's pretty simple; Alan and the team of body shamans at Revive are modern day healers. These are extremely knowledgeable professionals who take the time to listen and assess their clients' needs without judgement. They approach treatment with more care, attention, and love than your own parents ever could. Exercise selection and variety are tested and assessed thoroughly, plus the team is always open to giving a few pointers outside of scheduled appointments if you happen to see them working with others in the gym next door. But the point is that you need to book with these people if you're serious about getting better. Revive Physiotherapy is the kind of place we're lucky to have in our neighborhood. Your search to fix that horrific skateboarding accident ends here, kiddo.

It goes without saying, so I'll do it anyway. Without your incredible insight and determination I wouldn't be able to physically take on the challenges I have in the last year. 13 months ago, I could barely fill my lungs enough to breathe, but the attention and focus you brought to our sessions? I bought in, respected the process that was laid out over those months in excruciating detail, and did the work. The difference between the time spent in treatment, and now, is literally a universe apart. Your work and very clear passion to help people reclaim their lives brought me back to being able to move, breathe, and more importantly function. You're an absolute rock star, A. And thank you for the education, guidance, and lasting impact.

Alan Richter is an excellent physiotherapist, as well as a skilled communicator and listener. He's compassionate and makes the effort to educate me on what's occurring in my body as I work towards recovery, which is incredibly important in maintaining motivation and reaching my goals. The personalized treatment plans are provided by him via an app/website, which make them easy to reference daily. He also encourages communication between visits (free of charge) should any questions or concerns arise with the provided exercises. This level of service and care is why I travel across town to Revive Physiotherapy instead of visiting practices closer to home. Thank you, Alan, for all that you do!

I’ve been seeing Adrian for close to 3 months now and I’ve had absolutely incredible results coupled with even better service and guidance. I experienced what I considered a fairly significant back injury that hindered my day to day routine, simply sleeping and brushing my teeth were taxing endeavours. Adrian is empathetic, a joy to be around, and incredibly intelligent about his craft. I look forward to our sessions as I’m excited to share my progress with the program I’ve been set on, as well as just enjoy his company. I would recommend Revive, and specifically Adrian, to anyone that is in need of an attentive, diligent and kind Physiotherapist!

I highly recommend Alan at Revive Physiotherapy. He runs an immaculate, organized, and friendly clinic with easy to book flexible appointment times. He takes the time to orient your exercises towards your personal wellness goals and provides you with a very clear plan on how to achieve them. My chronic knee pain was impacting my daily activities and exercise routine, and he provided me with exercises and support to pinpoint and strengthen the necessary muscles, and a maintenance plan I could do at home. I was pain free within 6 weeks! He is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate physiotherapist. Definitely seek out his services!

Great place to recover, rehabilitate, build up endurance. I worked with Josh Turner, who explains the exercises slowly and carefully. When I started with Revive I was weakened by multiple myeloma, with collapsed vertebra and back pain. He started me off with very simple, low stress exercises and as I progressed he modified each to increase the challenge, all in keeping it low-stress. Now after a few months work I feel nearly normal, and my slow but constant progress has been a real positive. I can't say enough good things about Josh and Revive, if you have pain or motion issues try them out!

Couldn't be happier with my choice to go with Alan at Revive Physio. He has helped me beyond measure in the past few years while recovering from a horrible crash, and I can confidently say my level of self-comfort would be no where near what it is today without Alan and his staff's careful & educated assistance. Leagues beyond the quality and attention I've received from other physical specialists. Even having moved out of the Aberdeen/Dundurn area, I choose to commute for my sessions. I couldn't fathom replacing or replicating the quality of service at Revive. Thank you Alan!

Several months ago I suffered an mcl tear, the worst sports injury I’ve had. Adrian was amazing. He gave me a structured program to follow and I saw him every week or so. He had exactly the right balance of pushing and encouraging while understanding that I had other demands on my time too. He is knowledgable, friendly and pretty much the perfect support that you could ask for. After 8 weeks I was back playing soccer, albeit more carefully. I rarely give reviews but Adrian is now my go to physio so thought others should know how good he was for me.

Came in with chronic back pain a few months back from an injury from my job. II was complaining about for a while, when I heard from a friend about Revive. Their physiotherapist sat with me and patiently explained about my posture and proper technique, running through with me different exercises to help alleviate the pain. Months later I'm feeling much better and can honestly say if it wasn't for Alan and his team I would still be complaining. I highly recommend Revive to anyone who is suffering with pain or injuries. Thank you thank you!!

Great results, my seemingly chronic pain issues went away with Alan's help and skilled guidance, letting me regain my quality of life at a reasonable pace. Emailed appointment reminders and exercise routines. Direct billed my insurance throughout my care. Helped me with return to work at paperwork. Always a professional and friendly atmosphere. I strongly recommend. COVID related, I always felt safe. Tools and surfaces are sanitized prior to use. Screening questions asked prior to my visits. Social distance easy to maintain in facility.

Review is being written 3 months after ~1 year of treatment. I cannot recommend Alan enough, he is as professional and down to earth as you could ever want in a physiotherapist. I had been going off and on for about a year to fix years of lower back, knee, hip and shoulder pain when chiropractors and other treatments were not cutting it. Alan designed an effective, simple program, easy to follow that prioritized movement and repair over a quick fix. Thanks again to Alan and the team at Revive!

I want to give a special thanks to Revive Physiotherapy. It's not your mother's phyiso. Alan Richter gets me up and moving by working through restrictions safely. I wouldn't be able to get through the craziness that is January in the wholesale world without his guidance in health and nutrition. I appreciate the individual attention in his clinic. It's a very clean place and has new equipment. Not a hustle bustle place so I feel very comfortable that the attention is focused on me.

I am 10 years old and had been suffering from some pain following dance lessons for about 3 months or so. After the doctor recommended physio, my mother booked me into revive because it is conveniently located close to school. I got a lot of attention and felt like I was really listened to. I was given exercises to work on at home. I’ve been back for several appointments and I always feel welcome! I’m feeling much better and my dancing is better than ever! Would highly recommend!!

I have been going to see Alan for several months for sore elbows (weekly at first, now once a month as the symptoms are largely gone due to the exercises he has me doing). Alan is not only knowledgeable, but very enjoyable to have sessions with. Whether you want to discuss your injuries with him, or engage in more casual conversations while performing exercises, Alan is happy to accommodate. Definitely recommend trying out his clinic if you are looking for Physio work.

I would highly recommend Revive! Alan is very knowledgeable and takes the time help you understand what your body is going through. It’s a very personalized experience and the therapy administered was very effective. He always makes physio fun, and is really helpful with the paperwork side of things too. Alan was also very accommodating during pandemic closures, making sure physio was accessible from home. I had nothing but great experiences with Revive!

I never write online reviews but it's important that people know how great Alan is. I've been to about 4 or 5 physiotherapy clinics throughout Hamilton for sports injuries and Alan at Revive Physiotherapy is easily the best of them all. He's very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. Unlike many other places, he works with you one on one and takes his time with you. Also, the facility itself is clean and has all the equipment you need.

Adrian was my physiotherapist and was an absolute beauty. He was so kind, caring, supportive, knowledgeable, and flexible with my rehabilitation after a car accident. I walked out of every appointment with a smile on my face and confidence that I was getting better. Now I am living my life as normal! He is just a great person and a great physiotherapist. Best human being I have ever worked with in any healthcare setting. I wish him well. Go see him!

I have to concur with all of the previous reviews - Alan is a truly gifted therapist. What has really struck me is that I look forward to my appointments with him because he really listens to what I have to say. He cares about all of his clients, not just as bodies with injuries, but as people with lives. He wants to get you back to doing what you love, and he has the skills and knowledge to do so however works best for you.

By far the best for all of your physiotherapy needs. One on one treatment and movement based therapy. Tore my hamstring playing ball this summer and Alan got me back on the diamond playing in just under 4 weeks ( the key is doing all of your home exercises religiously...no slacking). Super friendly and listens to what the client is feeling and has to say. I can't say enough awesome things about Alan and his methods.

Coming to Revive is good for whatever your needing to fix. Alan customizes and modifies exercises for your injury/problem. He is present the entire time. He provides clear exercise routine to do when your not with him including drawings and clear written instructions. Finally he is a nice guy. Definitely should come see Alan at Revive Physiotherapy & Performance.

The single best physiotherapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Isn't afraid to tell you the hard truths and get you feeling/moving optimally. As a competitive strength athlete with a full time office job, revive has kept me pain free and moving well on my own schedule! I highly recommend revive and couldn't be happier with the services provided!

Alan has helped me several times with different issues. He is always excellent at getting quickly to the root of the problem and assigning the perfect exercises to address it. He is very encouraging and motivating as well as patient with the inevitable ups and downs of recovery. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

Hands-down the best physio I've ever been to. As someone with chronic knee pain, I have suffered for many years, and with Revive's help I am pain free! They are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to working with you towards full recovery. The facility is clean and bright - highly recommend to anyone looking for physio in the Hamilton area!

Alan is absolutely amazing! I saw him for my shoulder for 3 months and he made physiotherapy something I regularly looked forward to. Alan has a rare drive to continue developing his expertise in physiotherapy and a willingness to teach it all in a friendly, fun manner. If you're looking for a new physiotherapist you won't be disappointed!

Adrian has been so helpful to me with both knee and back pain from arthritis and the rehab following a broken wrist. He gives practical advice and doable exercises that for me resulted in significant decreases in pain and increases in mobility and function. I would highly recommend this physiotherapy practice to anyone.

Julian Quaglia has “revived” me! This is the best physio experience I have ever had. Arthritis pain is constant. Julian very patiently has shown me how to improve my strength, range of motion and decrease my pain dramatically. All this through exercise and strength training in manageable increments. Wow!

Adrian was awesome to work with and helped put me back together again. The assessment was thorough and he was able to diagnose the injury. He provided great workouts to help rehabilitate the injury and each visit progress was seen thanks to his work. Highly recommend coming here if you have any issues!

Alan is absolutely amazing. The therapists here know what they're doing and are willing to work with you to meet your goals. They helped me recover from not being able to move my left arm at all due to an accident to getting third place in a powerlifting meet. 10/10 would recommend!

Alan is great! He is very thorough in his assessment, explanation, and demonstration of various exercises to improve health and pain. He is very knowledgeable of many techniques to improve health. Alan is also very personable and easy to approach with questions and concerns.

Great experience working with Alan. He helped me get my knee back into perfect shape and also gave me a plan to help manage it on my own for the future. Really appreciate that he not only treats the injury, but educates you to be self sufficient for your own treatment.

I would definitely recommend Revive to anyone who asks! Both Julian and Alan are great and super helpful! Julian helped me recover very fast from a shoulder surgery and my shoulder is now feeling better than ever. The location is also very nice & clean. Great place !!

This place is absolutely amazing when it comes to customer care. Everyone a part of this team can go above and beyond to help get you back to peak physical health. Extremely happy I made the switch. Also! Their display window never fails !! I love it guys! :)

I just finished working with Josh at Revive for two months after a minor knee operation, and ongoing arthritis. The program he set was based around my own activity specific goals, adapted each session, easy to master, and my knee is like 150% from pre-op.

Such a high opinion of Alan, his knowledge set and techniques have worked me through several injuries. His systematic and thorough assessments set you up for success and I have referred many of my friends and family to him. Thanks for keeping me moving!

I’m around 11 months after ACL knee surgery with a hamstring graft. I am super happy with my recovery and working with Alan and the team at Revive has been vital! Alan really took the time to understand my goals, and getting my athletic

First time taking physio (ever) following a hockey injury. Alan took the time to explain what the medical evaluation meant and what the plan to build strength back up was. Private sessions really tuned a program that was right for me.

I wanted to finally post my long-overdue review of how amazing Alan and the whole team at Revive Physio have been. Alan took great care of my boyfriend and I after we were in a major vehicle collision back in May. He was incredibly

I felt very welcome in this bright clean environment. Wonderful experience with Kyle, he helped tremendously with a finger injury and gave me excellent sustainable advice for future injury prevention. Highly reccomend this place.

Kyle was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and effective with me through all the stages of my foot injury. I highly recommend him and will return again myself as needed. Everybody at this clinic was friendly and welcoming.

Went for two sessions, this place is great so far. The physiotherapist Josh is very knowledgeable and helpful. The clinic is organized and clean. The staff is also very accommodating and quick to respond to phone/emails.

Highly recommend. Alan helped alleviate my knee pain in weeks. He worked with me to strengthen the joint and created a program that worked with my fitness goals. Flexible scheduling and always prompt communication too.

Alan helped me with my sports injury and helped design a program to help me get back to training. He was knowledgable, courteous and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone with a sports injury.

Fantastic service and expertise from Alan. He explains everything clearly to help you understand your injury. I’ve learned a lot of great exercises that I will continue to use to improve my rock climbing.

Mr. Alan Ritchter is an excellent physiotherapist. I had physio in the past somewhere else and it didn’t help me. Mr. Ritchter is really changing my life. I recommend him greatly to anyone!

I sought out Alan's services for wrist pain I was experiencing while biking. His exercises were focused, easy to maintain and effective. I would not hesitate to see Alan again when needed.

I'd recommend Alan at Revive! He's patient, communicates well, and is highly knowledgeable. After a few appointments, I started feeling better and more confident in my movements. 5 Stars!

A fantastic place for athletes and everyone looking for rehab and preventative care. I left every session learning something new, and improving my pain/instability.

Not only is he a very knowledgeable and caring Physiotherapist, but he is also an awesome guy. I highly recommend Alan at Revive Physiotherapy.

Really great experience! Definitely recommend Alan to anyone looking to improve their physical health, or suffering from a sports injury

Kyle is delightful to work with. Super thorough and very scientific. Was able to sort my injuries out quickly and keep them away.

Not your regular Physio , One on one instruction in a gym environment . Working out really well. I Would strongly recommend Alan.

Great experience! Alan had an empowering attitude toward physiotherapy and helped me get back to my routine quickly and safely.

Alan is great! He does a good job and is easy to talk to! Thanks for helping me with my back pain!

They did great work with my wrist, can't recommend them enough, be sure to ask for Josh!

amazing hands on treatment would recommend Revive Alan and his team ! 100%.

Highly recommend! Supportive environment and care.

Kind caring thorough. Grateful for help
