“I’m a bank executive, I’ve been a competitive athlete my whole life and most recently a published fitness model. In addition to the physical benefits that health and wellness provide me, I believe the benefits of health and wellness to your mental state much more out weight the physical benefits. Last summer I herniated my L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc causing serious pain and discomfort. This affected both my personal life and professional life. The pain was excruciating and in addition to pain medication, I tried everything for relief (i.e. chiropractor, physio therapy, acupuncture, etc.). The result from all of these therapy’s was the same, very short term relief and no resolution. I was referred to Sarah and immediately she took a different approach by completing a full musculoskeletal assessment to help determine if there are any muscle imbalances, weaknesses or tight areas. And it was no surprise that I had a number of muscle imbalances that required work. Sarah customized a training program to help target the muscle imbalances and weakness. We reassessed every two weeks and changed the training program as my body was recovering. Out of all the doctor’s and therapy sessions I did outside of Sarah’s clinic, they all said the same thing; try a couple stretches and rest. Sarah was unique in her approach and truly helped me heal and rebuild the muscles I need to get back to being myself. Thank you Sarah for the amazing service, you and your team at Continuum are exceptional at what you do. I highly recommend to anyone not only those recovering from an injury but for anyone with a fitness goal no matter how small or big. Ray Rashed”Read moreShow less

“When I arrived at Continuum Fitness, I had extreme pain in my left shoulder, with nerve damage on top of that, from a procedure I had done. Jay Ankersmit brought me back to full mobility. I can't say enough good things about Jay. He is very knowledgeable and detailed in his therapy work. Now that I have power back in my shoulder and arm, I am working on rebuilding the muscle back to where it use to be under the guidance of Sarah. Sarah is in-tune on how to re-build my shoulder from the ground up. She has found the muscles that were not firing [working] and I am in the process of making what I feel is a full recovery. Without Jay and Sarah in my corner, I would be in a very different situation. The fact that they work together is Paramount, finding what works and what doesn't is the key to any recovery and they are there to make sure it happens. I have seen countless therapists in Ottawa for over 10 years with this problem, without success, always trying to find someone who actually knows what they're doing. Well my search is over!!!”Read moreShow less
