I had a great experience at ActiLife Physio and Rehab Clinic in Coquitlam. I went in for treatment for calf and lower back issues, and the Anant was very professional and knowledgeable from the start. He took the time to properly assess my condition, explain the treatment plan, and make sure I understood the exercises I needed to do.

The physiotherapy sessions really helped reduce my pain and improve my mobility. The staff were friendly, patient, and genuinely cared about my recovery. The clinic is also very clean and well organized, which made every visit comfortable.

I highly recommend ActiLife Physio and Rehab Clinic to anyone dealing with muscle injuries or back problems.

I got to know about Anand through a community event long time back and decided to visit him at his clinic for my knee pain. I’m really glad I did. From the start, he was professional, attentive and very thorough in his assessment. He took the time to understand my issue, clearly explained the root cause and provided effective treatment that gave me noticeable relief.

What I appreciated most was that he didn’t just focus on immediate pain relief — he also gave me specific exercises to continue at home to support recovery and prevent future problems.

I’m already feeling much better and truly thankful for his care. I highly recommend Anand to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional physiotherapist.

I went to ActiLife with knee and thigh muscle pain. Anand was very thorough with the evaluation and took time to understand the history of injuries. He asked pointed questions, which helped clarify the habits and past issues causing the injury. The treatment is effective and home exercises are helping the recovery. I have already started feeling better after two appointments. I highly recommend ActiLife.

I don’t usually feel compelled to write reviews. But Anant has been amazing, he is thorough, kind, knowledgeable, and most importantly does not overwhelm you with a whole bunch of exercises. He is realistic and very personable. This has been my first experience at physio and I can say it’s been the best. I would recommend Anant to anyone that is looking for a physiotherapist.

From the very first session, they took the time to assess my condition thoroughly and designed a personalized treatment plan that really worked for me. Their approach is both scientific and compassionate. They explain every exercise in detail, monitor progress closely, and always motivate you to do your best.
Thanks to their expertise and encouragement, I’ve seen amazing improvement and feel stronger and more confident in my recovery. The clinic itself has a very positive and welcoming atmosphere, which makes every visit enjoyable.
I highly recommend Actilife, and especially Anant and Anand, to anyone looking for dedicated, skilled, and genuinely caring physiotherapists. They’re truly the best at what they do!

I have been visiting the ActiLife clinic for 2 months now for physiotherapy sessions with Anant Chilimbi based on a word of mouth recommendation and am very satisfied with the treatment received. Anant is a patient and good listener who listens to your concerns and works with you based on your specific needs. Anant uses his understanding of the human body to provide muscle relief as well as a path to recovery. His approach tends to be a phased approach wherein he aims to address systemic issues first. The tools he uses include an ultrasound machine, needling and interferential therapy with cup electrodes and heat. In addition, he provides you with exercises to aid you in your journey to wellness. My recovery with Anant's help has been a very positive one and would definitely recommend him if you need physiotherapy.

Anant at Actilife is an amazing physio who is talented, caring, and professional. He helped both myself and my son work through hamstring injuries through manual therapy, needling, and exercises. He was able to accommodate us for more urgent needs. I would recommend him and his clinic to anyone!

I had an excellent experience at Actilife Physio with practitioner Anant. I visited him twice, and he was able to resolve my major issues using a scientific and methodical approach. What stood out to me was his focus on long-term health and longevity, rather than just quick fixes. Anant’s dedication to addressing the root causes of the problem and his personalized treatment plan made a significant difference. Highly recommend Actilife Physio for anyone looking for effective, science-based care!
I have been referred to Anand shetty(Andy)from my friend cause I had realy bad and old tennis elbow problem !
Hounestly I hated to go to physio because nobody put the effort and always using the machine and leave you at room for half an hour and then gave you some exercises, thats it!!! And I told myself for the last time to try again !!
Anant is so friendly and patient and listen to you carefuly and has lots of knowledge ...
He is using his powerful hands and dry needle ofcourse is painful 🥹but he knows his job realy well!
After every session I feel lots of pain has gone and my movement getting more smooth.
I strongly recomand him and he is my super hero !
Thank you so much Andy🙏
Love these guys - very friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and gave my wife a lot of confidence in working with them. We live in Surrey but do not mind driving in the heavy traffic to come to Coquitlam. Highly recommend them.
