Anand is an exceptional physio. As a physio and road cyclist athlete, he is one of few I trust to treat my chronic and acute injuries. His skillset from needling to soft tissue release and shockwave are effective and I always leave feeling better. I know he has the expertise to get me better!
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 have been under the observation of Anant for knee and back pain. His diagnosis has been pretty phenomenal . 100% recommended
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.
