Ever wondered the effects of high heels on your feet and body? Often painstakingly selected to complete outfits, high heels put stress not just on feet, but on ankles, knees and backs, contributing to the approximately $3.5 billion spent annually in the United States for women’s foot surgeries, which cause them to lose 15 million work days yearly.

Success Stories
As a National Team Athlete I had a serious injury and was sidelined for over a year. After seeing the Sports Med doctors at UBC they recommended I see Aart. I spent over a year working with Aart and his team. I was very thankful for meeting the team at Main Street Physio as they helped me recover back to 100% and return to playing at the international level. I continue to see Aart who helps me stay healthy and keeps me in the game! I recommend this clinic and the team of professionals who help make it a great place, to anyone who is looking for any physiotherapy needs!
