I am so happy to have found Norm Tinkham. He is a physiotherapist & a qualified Gunn’s’ IMS specialist. I have been in pain with back problems and I have been searching for someone with the Gunn’s’ IMS expertise. He worked on my back and shoulders for couple of months now and I am beginning to feel much better. I am also seeing him for a whiplash I have due to a gym injury. He is a very caring person and knows what he is doing. The office staff is very pleasant and very helpful. I highly recommend Norm Tinkham with physio & IMS treatments. Thank you.

So thankful for Norm. I had an accident that left me with foot drop and a contractured lower leg muscle. I had difficulty walking and could not drive. I could not return to work. After 1 year of working with other physio...there was very little difference. I met Norm on a referral from a friend from work and noticed a change within two weeks. 1.5 years later, I am walking and no foot drop , muscle is 95% back and I am driving and back at work. I truly owe it to Norm and all the hard work we did. He always made me feel I could get better and improve. He never gave up and always encouraged me and guided me with exercises and homework. He kept trying things and I appreciate him and his dedication so much. Best physiotherapist around!!!

Norm is an amazing physio! He has helped me and my wife get through some mechanical issues with our body. We are both very active personal trainers. I am very picky with the clinics that I go to and the practitioners that I see. Norm is by far, one of the best that I've seen. His understanding of anatomy, human kinetics, assessments and treatment protocol is outstanding! He has helped us so much! Thanks a lot Norm!
