Testimonials for Jay Guarino – Chiropractor in Vancouver BC

Testimonial #1

In the typical dancer’s way, I injured myself in my daily life. I managed to annoy my shoulder quite a bit one night with a funny sleeping position. It bothered me for a while; I was able to do yoga and keep up my activities, but it just didn’t feel right and hurt significantly at times. I got into see Dr. Jay, and within two treatments my shoulder felt better. He gave me recommendations for exercises to do and activities to avoid. The Active Release Technique he used was very helpful and I was able to monitor my own progress along with him, which I appreciated. I also appreciated the quick recovery and minimal but thorough visits.
Thank you Dr. Jay!

Testimonial #2

I went to see Dr. Guarino for a persistent problem that I have been having with my back the past couple months. I have been to see a Chiropractor numerous times but still have had this persistent ailment. There are many things in which I felt made Dr. Jay a stand-out and excellent practitioner. Firstly, he approached the problem with a thorough analysis. He didn’t just treat my symptoms but took a look at the bigger picture of the dynamics of what was going on. I enjoyed his obvious knowledge, understanding and interest he has for his practice. He also spent the time for me to understand things and has a great manner with people. He is also a person willing to do those little extras to make sure that you walk out feeling better.
What also makes Jay stand out is his Active Release Technique training. My back problems are only a symptom of a greater problem with my tight lower back muscles. With the Active Release Technique therapy I walked away with a more comprehensive treatment than what could be achieved with the traditional Chiropractic treatment. I would recommend Active Release Technique treatment to anyone experiencing tightness and muscular stress anywhere in their body. He was able to work on m calves, hips and neck all which have been under stress as I have been training for a triathlon. I am so relieved with the release it has brought me. I would not hesitate to recommend Jay and have already been promoting him in my personal networks.
Thank you Dr. Jay

I had the privilege of meeting this young professional, and was impressed with his clear articulation of the benefits of Chiropractic care, particularly of Active Release Technique.
I met with Jay at his office and was made to feel instantly at ease and welcomed by the warm greeting of his receptionist.
Escorting his last patient of the morning into the reception area, Jay ensured that she was transferred to the care of the front desk, then raised his head and smiled widely in his welcome of me. Walking over, he greeted me with a confident handshake that mirrored the warmth of his “hello”.
Jay walked me through the hall that lead to the closed doors of treatments in process and into the inviting space of the room in which he treats his patients.
Large windows that showcase city-scapes are set to allow in light while protecting the room from the heat of direct sunlight. The space was calming and professional, as is Jay’s demeanor.
In testament of his commitment, Jay offers 15 minute treatment periods, where other Chiropractors tend to see patients in 5 minute rotations
I heard from Jay what he loves about being a Chiropractor – the opportunity to make a difference with people – allowing them freedom from barriers to their physical expression.
I have no doubt that Jay will flourish as a sought-after doctor of Chiropractic care.

Testimonial #4

I first went to visit Dr. Jay in early December to see what he could do about a persistent knee pain I get when I run. 2.5Km into any run the pain would start and by 4Km I was done. I’ve never been to a chiropractor before but Dr. Jay was so highly recommended I thought I’d give it a try.  My knee has had this issue on and off for years and I’d love to fix it without surgery.
We started work on my knee but as always the Christmas season tied up my schedule and I decided to put it off until the New Year.  Just after the holidays however, I fell while snowboarding and injured my shoulder. Being the young tough-guy that I am, I figured I would just let the pain work its way out and all would be fine in no time.  Unfortunately, I’m evidently not that young anymore. A few weeks after the accident and with escalating pains I finally got an x-ray and discovered that I had a Stage 1 separation of my collar bone. The Dr. advised that this should heal without surgery but finding a therapist would speed it up and ensure a complete healing process. It was time to stop procrastinating and take care of myself.
At first I was a little unsure how the process would help me out. Then I discovered the amazing thing that is Active Release Technique and its ability to set my body right again. Over the course of a few weeks, Dr. Jay was able to use his mastery of the Active Release Techniques to get my full mobility back and the pain in my shoulder is gone.  He also showed me some stretches and work I could do at home to speed the process. Dr. Jay was professional and personable throughout and I actually looked forward to every visit despite the temporary pains that came with the technique. I can’t wait to continue the focus on my knee as I’m now certain that with results like these I’ll be back up and running again in no time!
Many Thanks Dr. Jay,
