Thank you Aaron Finn and staff for being so attentive. After my accident 3 yrs ago and several attempts with other treatments, it was amazing to find the help I needed to work on the right recovery. Thank you again!!

Only have good things to say about Prime. From day one I have been there till now. They have been more than welcoming to me. The front desk staff always professional and kind. I started up with Joel but shortly after I started with him, he left. I thought I would have to explain everything again but Megan Stone picked up from where Joel left and knew exactly what to recommend despite not being present in the initial meeting. I had been struggling with my injury for over a year now and in just 6 weeks with Megan, I feel way better and have gained a lot more knowledge. The exercises she recommended, have worked wonders; the IMS she recommended have made me feel like a million bucks and I sure will be implementing the majority of those exercises with my daily workouts. Thanks Prime and thanks Megan... Y'all are awesome :) More...

The Prime Medical Group is an excellent Primary Care Facility. Dr. Matt Smith and the administrative staff- Santana and Sarah have exceeded all my expectations in securing a new family doctor. My initial appointment was booked in a timely manner, and a follow-up appointment was secured a few days later. Lab reports were received and explained in detail by Dr. Smith, with several recommendations offered for future self-care. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Smith and the medical group to folks looking for a family practice. Thank you all for your professionalism, timely follow-ups, and courteous manner. Todd B.

After Seeing Riley Weatherhead just a couple of times I made drastic improvements with my neck and back that other places haven't been able to help with over the last two years. Riley's knowledge is incredible and he truly has a passion for helping people. Riley's not one of those Physios who you walk into a room and gives you a piece of paper of exercises and you walk out. Riley takes the time to thoroughly examine me every time, works on my neck and back and spends time in the gym working on exercises. I would 100% recommend Riley! More...

Thank you Toni for giving me the resources I needed to improve on-going issues I have with my neck and shoulders. With her expertise in kinesiology she gave me a thorough assessment of where my weak areas are and where I have extreme tightness. She setup an exercise program to both reduce the pain and strengthen these areas I have had on-going issues with. Over the last nine months she has progressed me from basic stretching exercises to more advanced strengthening exercises that has improved my overall health. More...

I've been working with Antonia Rizea for half a year for kinesiology and hydro therapy with amazing results. She is great at targeting problem areas, creating effective routines, and monitoring my exercises, quickly pointing out what I am doing wrong and providing constructive feedback for immediate adjustments. Without her I don't believe my recovery would be as quick as it has been. With her I not only was able to reduce pain, but I have been able to strengthen weak areas to help prevent it from flairing up. I've seen a few specialist before her outside of Kelowna but it is rare to find someone who shows genuine concern for my recovery as she does. I don't think you can find someone better to work with on building your strength gaining permanent recovery from injury. More...

This week we went to meet with our new physician, Dr. Matthew Smith in the Prime Medical Office. From the time we walked in the new and clean office, we were greeted by 2 ladies at the front desk who were very helpful, friendly and easy to talk to but professional as well. No wait time at all and when Dr. Smith came in, he definitely was very attentive in listening to our medical history and gave us his opinion about certain things and suggested helpful ways to maintain our fitness and well being. We found him to be very knowledgeable and extremely intelligent coming right from college. He is a very friendly and approachable Dr. We highly recommend this office for your medical needs. More...

The best walk-in & family clinic in Kelowna. After seeing the 30+ person line-up outside the Spall Medical Clinic I decided to check medimap for other options. PRIME Medical had a walk-in time of zero minutes and great reviews so I decided to try it. The facility is brand new, had absolutely no wait time, and my doctor (Dr. Matthew Smith) was great. If you need a walk-in or family doctor this is definitely the best option in the Okanagan. More...

Amazing experience dealing with Prime Physiotherapy and Joel in particular. I had never seen a physio in the past for injuries, I had always just suffered through and let time heal it. Ended up getting really frustrated with a recent elbow injury and was referred here by my massage therapist (Jen Cuddington, also amazing FYI). Anyways Joel has been an incredible help and resource on the road to recovery. He is so knowledgable! The exercises and education as well as the therapies..just awesome! Really speeding up the recovery process. Feel pretty foolish for not using this fantastic resource in the past! More...

I've worked with 3 different PT's (Joel, Ingrid, Jerome) with 2 different injuries and I cannot say enough good things about this place. Any of the PT's I've seen at Prime were way more inclined and motivated to help than any other Physio I've been to.Joel and Ingrid have gone above and beyond in helping me with a Herniated disk and Sciatic pain. Joel is very knowledgeable and straight to the point and was able to correct things I was doing wrong for my back that another PT at a different physio didnt correct. Ingrid is also very knowledgeable and helpful She probably does the best IMS in town!I only had 2 or 3 sessions with Jerome following an ankle surgery but he gave me some great pointers and stretches that I still use today.The facility is amazing and the front desk is always very nice and easygoing. I try all the time to reccomend these guys to anyone. More...

I got injured at some point during my martial arts training. I thought I had just pulled a muscle in my shoulder and kept training. Once my arm went numb, I realize something had gone too far, went to the doctor and got a referral to physio. A few teammates referred me to Prime and said they had all had outstanding experiences there. Through my treatment, we found I had torn multiple muscles, my labrum and done nerve damage. The team worked together and through non-invasive treatment, electrical muscle stimulation and progressive exercise routines, they helped me repair the damage I had done and got me back to regular training. They even kept in contact with my coaches to I could do some modified training while I recovered. More...

I recently injured myself at work. After seeing my GP it was recommended to me to try physiotherapy. I called Prime Physio to see if they had any available appointments. That phone call and every other interaction with the company has been exceptional. The efficiency and professionalism shown by all staff that I interacted with was above and beyond. My appointment was scheduled with Tamara Umpherville. On the first visit Tamara conducted a thorough review of the workplace injury and asked all the questions that she needed to make a diagnosis. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough.Tamara developed a treatment plan consisting of hands on treatments, traction and home exercises. The treatment was approximately 8 weeks and at every step I felt continuous improvement.Tamara's demeanor and approach were always professional, caring and very informed.This has been by far the most pleasant interaction with a medical professional and company that I've ever had. From day one I felt thoroughly taken care of. Thank you! More...

I injured my shoulder playing volleyball and it was further exacerbated by my less-than ergonomic set up at work. I had my initial consultation with Antonia Rizea, the Kinesiologist at Prime, and she brought to light all of the areas I should focus on in addition to my shoulder. This kick-started me in such a way that I had the motivation to work on my body to get it back to the best shape so I'd be out of pain and able to participate in sport without worry of future injury. Toni has then put together a strengthening regiment and meets with me on a regular basis. She's so encouraging and I'm really seeing an improvement! It also helps that I feel incredibly welcomed by the staff at Prime every time I go for my appointment. Highly recommend!! More...

I first came into Prime with a back injury from powerlifting. I had never had such a injury and was scared I would never lift again. Riley was very thorough and having his own experience in weightlifting was invaluable and made him stand out from other physiotherapists I've seen in the past.Within 3 weeks I was good as new and thought having someone review my compound lifts would be a good idea (to prevent another such injury). Riley suggested I work with Luke.I've only had 2 sessions with Luke and have gained more knowledge and concise feedback than working with other trainers over the last 8 years. From the first squat he spotted my "weaknesses", honed in on those muscles and set up a plan. Luke is very clear and professional in his explanations/coaching. I would highly recommend Prime to anyone experienced or new to weightlifting. My experiences at Prime are invaluable! More...

I've been to numerous physiotherapists but have never come across anyone like Joel. He's not a big box store who sells as much treatments as possible. Instead, he treats each patient like a puzzle with the information you present and then looks for the missing pieces with you. Then he actually gives you homework to help with the solution instead of encouraging multiple follow up appointments. This is the best form of therapy i have received and encourage everyone to try Joel out and see the results yourself.Thanks for helping me through one of the roughest patches I've been in. More...
