Vente Pain Relief Clinic

I strongly recommend Alfie. Alfie’s skills and knowledge have remedied a number of recurring issues I’ve been dealing with.

Alfie’s deep knowledge allows him to quickly identify and effectively treat pain.

He is also friendly and a great guy to chat with.

Alfie is very passionate about healing your pain. My neck was so stiff I could barley move when I went in after just one visit my mobility in my neck greatly improved. He explained why this was happening to me what I can do to prevent this from happening . I will continue to see Alfie and highly recommend his services.

I had pain my my scapula and neck for years until I met Alfie. He’s been able to help me reduce all chronic pain and has even helped increase mobility in other areas of my body that were suffering. It’s no walk in the park, but the results are real.

I was suffering from daily headaches, tension and pain in my upper back – I found myself standing against a wall in meetings, trying to relieve the pain, using foam rollers of all kids and having to roll every night to try and relieve the back pain and headaches.

After one visit to Vente, the headaches were gone and I felt no more discomfort. I was shocked. As the website states, this massage is not about relaxation, or a spa experience -this is a treatment. Alfie is great at letting you know what to expect as he works on you, whethr it’s a burn, zing or tension, you knew what was coming.

I’ve visited many massage therapists, always looking for one that would go deep enough to make a difference. Alfie did just that. Big thank you!!

I started going to Vente on May 23, 2019 after 2+ years of knee pain which seemed to have turned into chronic back pain. I had a specific short-term goal/timeline mind (hike Northover Ridge August 2-4, 2019) and wanted to either be able to achieve it pain-free, or simply ensure I didn’t have to stop/affect the group/turn back. I am extremely pleased that after the hike, I can report that I was able to carry my pack, hike up/down with just regular knee soreness (caused by slippery/steep downhill skree), recover quickly and am looking forward to the maintenance phase of recovery.

I had previously tried other RMTs (deep tissue), PTs (with IMS) , and Chiropractors and they were unable to help. Alfie was my last ditch attempt – I had resigned myself to “getting older” and just having chronic knee/back pain…

Immediately after my first appointment with Alfie Vente, I felt marked and significant improvement – I was pleasantly surprised. I learned that the knee pain was in fact caused by extremely tight fascia – starting from the foot on upward – and likely caused by (not the cause of) even older back issues. After the initial appointment my daily knee pain stopped right away – and has continued to feel zero-to-tiny bits of pain only.

Correcting my hip flexors has been a major component of this process. And after a few more appointments, other unexpected improvements took place, most surprisingly, improved breathing.

I tried to document these changes as they happened (below):

Immediate – after first/second appointment (May 23, 2019):
-feet less pain, less callouses, much less bunion pain
-no knee pain after: 14km hike, going downhill, walking 10km on sidewalks
-less Charlie horses
-fixed light carpal tunnel on arms
-longer strides, less “hamster-like” steps

After 3-4 appointments:
-breathing better, easier to reach deep breath, not catching at top
-sleeping better
-hip flexors looser

After 5-6 appointments:
-left arm can reach up back further
-shoulders more square/less rounded/bent over

After 9 appointments:
(post-hike with pack August 2-3, 2019):
-some knee pain but went away by next day
-foot pain went away by next day
-shin splints gone in one day.

Thank you Alfie!

Alfie is the best massage therapist I have ever had. He is very skilled at what he does, and his personality puts you at ease. I highly recommend him to everyone.
