A Nervous System Approach

Rehab & Movement

Hi, I’m Renzo.

My interest in physical therapy started when I herniated two discs in my lower back at 18. I tried all kinds of therapy for four years without success, and despite being told by a surgeon that I might never fully recover, I had a deep trust in my body’s ability to heal.

Working through my own chronic pain helped me understand how the nervous system integrates and regulates our physical, emotional, and cognitive experiences, and I believe that learning how to influence the nervous system is the key to experiencing holistic health.

As a physical therapist and personal trainer, my work focuses on exploring movement as a tool for healing, developing physical fitness, and for deepening our connections with self and others.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "I saw my back specialist. He said I don't require surgery.

    The exercises that you gave me really helped. I’m almost 100% back to normal and going back to work next month. I just want to thank you. I appreciate the work that you do."

  • "Renzo is the best physiotherapist I've encountered. I recommend him to family, friends, and everyone who mentions a need for a physiotherapist.

    I met him when I was paralyzed by lumbar spinal nerve radiculopathy, unable to move my left foot forward for a step, unable to stand unassisted or sit, and in major pain. After six months of his coaching I was walking for an hour at a time, and back to work, showing continual improvement.

    Several things make him the best I’ve seen. First, he actively listens, not only to focus on the underlying physical issue, but to understand his patient’s psychology regarding motivation, guarding and fear from chronic pain. Second, he is continually studying the body and his field to provide the best possible care for his patients. He realizes that coaching of mind, body, and spirit is required to empower his patients to overcome chronic injury and pain. His recommendations are backed by science and published studies, which he openly shares with interested patients. Finally, Renzo brings passion and empathy to his calling. Having suffered years from a back injury as a young man, Renzo came to understand his calling to heal others that are suffering as he once did. He has a passion for physiotherapy, to heal his patients, and is well on his way to mastery of the art and science of his field.”

  • "Friggin' Awesome!

    Chronic hip and abdominal pain was taking a chunk out of my life, and it was making me feel so hopeless. Renzo was empathetic, supportive, and really listened. He got right to the issue and turned it all around quickly, explaining everything really well. Hope is restored and I couldn’t be more grateful!”

  • "Renzo changed my life...

    In 2022 I fell and had a significant injury that would take the better part of a year to heal.

    Renzo was recommended to me through another medical professional. He takes a holistic approach to your life long physical, and emotionally related health issues. As I worked through this process with Renzo, he helped me realize that it was important to understand, as you’re going through the healing of your current injury, to look back on other injuries. Inclusive of the feelings attached to them.

    If you are lucky enough to find yourself in this man’s care, you will never regret a moment of time of recovery. Renzo will find a way to pull you out of the worst physically painful and emotionally tough, days of your life.

    Thank you Renzo for it all!”

  • "I was hurt in a car accident several years ago...

    I thought that I could just "push through" on my own. I didn't realize the extent of the negative impact it had had on me until I developed chronic pain and its various nuances: feeling anxious as well as depressed at times, and just generally not having the same spring in my step. I was so fortunate to find Renzo. Over the past couple of years, he has been instrumental in my recovery. I'm not fully there yet, but I'm hopeful that I will continue to progress.

    Renzo is gentle and thoughtful as to what treatments might be best for my unique healing journey. He doesn't progress too quickly with the risk I become discouraged that I can't do this or that, but he also challenges my reluctance at times to move forward. He is very knowledgeable about the complex interactions of all parts of the body but also about the psychological strategies to increase my motivation to become better. He is patient, non-judgmental, and also the best listener! Thank you Renzo!”

  • "You have ACTUALLY given me hope that a pain free life might be in my future!

    You are hands down the best physiotherapist I have ever been to. I appreciate your vast knowledge of the human body.”

  • "As you predicted, my left knee/leg is 100% better.

    Renzo, I came in to see you for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Although I felt the pain was related to soft tissue I didn’t want to ignore something serious.

    I was so impressed with both your clinical skills and communication style. In reading your bio, I see we are exactly on the same page. Should I need Physio again I will definitely know where to come!”

  • "Renzo has helped me overcome numerous injuries, aches and pains over the past years and he will continue to be my go to physio.

    I have known Renzo for just over four years now. I first saw him working with one of my former track and field teammates in our school gym. A few months later, my track and field coach suggested I see a physiotherapist in Fort Langley for one of the many injuries that I had that were limiting my performance on the track. I had heard great things from my teammate about Renzo. When I first met Renzo, we connected right away.

    I trust him to be able to identify where my injury is located and what it can be caused by. He’s also very understanding and adaptive to different circumstances. He has me leaving every session in high spirits, confident and optimistic about my healing process. As a high performance athlete, I would recommend anyone to Renzo."

  • "I cannot say enough positive things about Renzo.

    He's been an absolute star in helping me recover from my accident. His knowledge and expertise are top-notch, and he has a truly unique ability to connect with his patients on a personal level. Unlike other physiotherapists I've seen, Renzo takes the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. He's always patient, encouraging, and supportive.

    Beyond his technical skills, Renzo's genuine compassion and kindness make him stand out. He's always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I'm comfortable and well-cared for. I've seen significant improvement in my back, shoulder, and neck pain thanks to his personalized treatment plan. If you're looking for a physiotherapist who is not only skilled but also truly cares about your well-being, Renzo is your guy. He's the best physiotherapist I've ever had, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.”

  • “Renzo came highly recommended from a friend after I injured my shoulder.

    He quickly figured out exactly where the problem was and focused treatments right where they were needed. I was extremely impressed with his holistic approach to health and wellbeing and I could not believe how quickly I got back to be feeling better and building strength. I actually think Renzo might be a magician, he is that good! Now I highly recommend him to my friends, family and anyone who needs skilled support to feel healthy again.”
