Testimonials

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 has been working on my back and shoulders for a 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.

I’ve been to a few physiotherapist in my life and Shannon at Momentum is by far my favourite. She has fixed every injury or issue with my body I have had. Not only does she have a fun little personality, she listens to me, explains everything and it actually feels like she takes her time to do so. She’s not rushing me out and I don’t feel like she’s ever tried to get me to come back when I no longer need treatment. A genuine person who actually loves what she does and wants to see the results. Thank you, Shannon, for being so amazing to me over the years and continually keeping my body functional so I can continue in my career and enjoy all the physical activities I like to do! ❤️

I had a problem with my left knee: a protrusion on the outer area, with pins and needles down the outside of my calf, nerve damage. This started when I twisted my knee during a pickleball game.

The first person to examine my leg suggested discontinuing all sports and it would recover. After two months, there was no improvement. After consulting a second opinion, I was referred to physiotherapy. There was no improvement with the first physiotherapist, and a friend then recommended Shannon at Momentum Physiotherapy Clinic.

At my first appointment, she found the head of the fibula was much looser on the left leg. Her diagnosis was ‘fibula head joint dysfunction’! I was given taping techniques and home stretching exercises. When I walked to my car, with calf taped, I noticed that the pins and needles which began four months prior had disappeared. I continued her advice of home exercises and taping and resumed pickleball. The protruding head of my fibula has definitely reduced.

I am extremely grateful for Shannon’s prompt diagnosis and discovered that all physiotherapists are not the same; some have more training and experience. I would definitely recommend Shannon for any physiotherapy treatment!

I highly recommend Shannon Blackburn as a physiotherapist. She is very knowledgeable and is not pushy at all. She helped me get walking again after I broke my ankle a few years ago and just recently has been helping me with my knee pain, giving me exercises to do to regain my mobility. I love her sense of humour and have enjoyed our easy banter. She’s great!

I was so impressed with my entire experience. I was having issues with vertigo and Farron was able to help me. Having suffered with vertigo on and off over the years i was very nervous about the treatment and he was extremely patient and thorough, explaining each step and giving me tools to help me through the process.

Ashleigh was very thorough in assessing my injury to determine a cause. She then gave me stretches to do and exercises to improve strength. I was very happy with the appointment. 

The best. Shannon has been taking care of me and my family for over 25 years. The most knowledgeable and talented physio that has treated and rehabbed me and my family for a variety of injuries over the years.

I have been receiving IMS treatment from Shannon and it’s truly been the best physio treatment I’ve ever received! These needles are not painful and are like a key in the locks of painful areas on my body that need releasing! I’m truly thankful.

Fantastic physio! Thank you Shannon! She really knows her stuff and has given me tremendous relief from pain and immobility with IMS.

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!

Shannon has been an essential part of my rehabilitation, recovery and continued management of injuries sustained 13+ years ago.

She is incredibly competent, creative and adapts to each specific injury in order to reduce symptoms and heal. If you are unsure or hesitant to try Physiotherapy, or find someone you can trust, Shannon is the one. I recommend her to anyone and everyone!

My family and I have been going to see Norm for various treatments over quite a few years. He has always been able to help and office staff is great!

I have been seeing Norm for the best part of 10 years. My treatments have always been running related and Norm has got me through many ultra marathons over the years. Norm knows his stuff and his skill and experience has helped me immensely over the years.

Recently I suffered a back injury and Norm again has exceeded my expectations in my treatment.

I highly recommend Norm and his clinic, there is no one better in the local area.

Fantastic physio! Shannon really knows her stuff and she has given me tremendous relief from pain and immobility. I am so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I had a broken upper humerus bone which lead to a major shoulder stiffness and mobility issues in January 2020 and came across Shannon‘s name when researching for a physiotherapist with shoulder specialty!

I went from hardly able to move my arm to now 9 months later with a great deal of my range of motion back. I have been getting IMS treatments through her which have also been a tremendous help.

Still have work to do to get better, but if you are looking for a no-nonsense therapist who will work hard to get you better without scheduling you to come back for unnecessary appointments then look no further than Shannon Blackburn!
