Welcome to the Revive Spine and Sport Physiotherapy Clinic’s resource about arthritis.

Arthritis is one condition that can be incredibly debilitating to a sufferer of this disease.  Arthritis can cause pain, inflammation, stiffness, limitation of movement, and can keep you from fully enjoying your life.

 I see Siva regularly for ongoing arthritis pain management, and find him very knowledgeable. He wants to educate his patients and truly cares about your progress. After a short consultation about how I'm doing, he effortlessly directs me through the next steps in my care. When I have improvements, Siva is genuinely excited and happy for me. In addition to the great staff, Revive is very clean with all new equipment. I've been to other clinics and none of them can compete with Revive as far as friendliness, professionalism, knowledge, and cleanliness. But more than anything, knowing that they really care about your progress is their best selling feature.

 I have been to Physiotherapy two times and a Medical Dr. For xrays where I was told my elbow was full of Arthristis. I like to body build at the gym and I just kept working around my sore elbow joints and sore forearms that would never heal. That was over 8 years ago. I thought that this was the best I could have. I seen this guy working out in the gym and he went to a pull up bar and was hanging there with one arm. You could see his forearms were strong. I just happened to run into him the next day in the locker room. I asked him about how he was able to get his forearms so strong. He told me that there was a time when he turned a door knob he had pain in his elbow. I told him my story. He looked at me and siad it looked like my front deltoids were to far forward. He also said he was a Dr. And i likely could use shock treatment on my forearms. The next day I went to see Dr. Shayne Samoil. He is also a competive powerlifter and knew so much about how the muscles are connected and the right treatment for me. It took 8 weeks of shock treatmens and posture correction exercises before I was healed. It took lots of work and some pain to get down to that old injury but you never gave up on me. I have new forearms again to train with you showing me how to exercise my bicep while keeping the elbow and front deltoid out of the action. The posture straighting exercises have corrected my shoulders. The pain I had in my collar bone and pulled muscles in my rear shoulder and neck are gone. You gave me so many tips on how to exercise correctly. You healed my forearms and straightened out my posture. I feel like a totally new person in the gym. I am so greatful to you Dr. Shayne. You really changed how I work out now. So many tips. I like the tip on back warm up exercises on chest day. I realize now it is all about posture. Thank you again Shayne.
