Vente Pain Relief Clinic

I have had three massage sessions at this clinic and already feel the difference. My symptoms included chronic headaches, neck pain, dizziness, and overall tightness/discomfort in my body. The intensity of my pain has gone from a 13/10 to a 7/10 which for me is a huge difference since I have been dealing with this pain for years with no result. This is not a relaxing massage, it is painful but worth it. Be open to the idea that where you feel pain is not always the source of where your pain is. The receptionist is also very lovely and helpful.

Stop going to the chiro, physio, and a million other specialists if you have pain – do yourself a favour and COME HERE. I have had a number of injuries over the years that had left my body in chronic pain and with pronounced tightness; I went to chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists, and nothing really did the trick. Vente Pain Relief did more for me in four visits (!!!) than any other professional has done for me in the past ten years. This treatment is painful (though not unbearable), but the results are *incredible*. My body is moving better than it has in a decade, my posture has improved, I’m breathing more deeply, I can walk easier and above all, my chronic pain issues have pretty much disappeared. I truly cannot say enough great things about this clinic. Stop reading reviews and go book an appointment already.

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!
