I suffered a herniated disc in my low back in 2020 that kept me from being active. I was told by physical therapists, chiropractors, and sports medicine physicians to avoid loading the injured area because it would aggravate the tissues. I followed that advice, but instead of improving, my symptoms only got worse.Eventually, follow-up MRIs showed that the herniated disc had healed and my tissues were healthy, yet I was still dealing with significant pain and discomfort. That led me to a different conclusion: maybe the problem wasn’t that my back was too damaged to load, it was that it had become too weak. So I started progressively and intentionally strengthening it. Most of my pain disappeared, but I would still have flare-ups where my back would tighten and lock up, especially during heavy lifting or high-volume hinging workouts.Then I started working with Mac.Mac helped me understand that my nervous system had become hypervigilant after my injury. Even though my tissues had healed, my brain still perceived certain movements as threatening and would essentially “slam on the brakes” to protect me. It was like my back had PTSD from the original injury. That explanation finally made sense because it matched what the imaging was showing: healthy tissues, but an overprotective nervous system.I’ve been seeing Mac for dry needling and physical therapy for the last three months, and the results have been incredible. I am the closest I’ve been to 100% since 2020. My back is handling heavy weights and high-volume hinging with ease, and instead of constantly being limited by pain, my performance is improving again.If you’re dealing with persistent pain that doesn’t seem to match what your imaging says, I can’t recommend Mac enough. And while you’re at it, check out a class at Blur Fitness. You won’t regret it.

Mac is THE MAN! I went to him about 2 months ago for the first time with some shoulder (torn labrum) and knee pain (meniscus) issues and recently my elbow. And I wish I could stand here and say dry needling, cupping, scraping that he does doesn’t work but my body has never felt better. If you’re looking for progress head on over to Mac! He will treat you right!!

GO Physio completely changed the way I look at my injury. After seeing countless providers over the years, this was the first place that was able to accurately pinpoint the scar tissue around my spine, eliminate what wasn’t actually causing my pain, and identify the real source of the problem.Their knowledge and attention to detail were on another level. They didn’t just treat symptoms—they explained exactly what was happening and built a customized rehabilitation plan around my specific condition. I always thought my issue was a lack of strength, but they helped me realize it was primarily a spinal stability issue. The exercises and movements they gave me were unlike anything I’d done before, and they’ve already made a noticeable difference.I finally feel like I’m working toward fixing the root cause instead of just chasing pain. If you have a complex injury and haven’t been able to get answers anywhere else, I can’t recommend GO Physio enough. Their expertise, thorough evaluation, and individualized approach are truly exceptional. It’s easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a physiotherapy clinic.

I can’t recommend Dr. Mac & Go Physio highly enough! From my very first appointment, I received outstanding care, professionalism, & genuine compassion. Dr. Mac made me feel comfortable & confident throughout my treatment.I have to admit, I was very skeptical about dry needling at first. I wasn’t sure it would work, but it ended up being the best thing that could have happened to me. After struggling with chronic pain for far too long, Dr. Mac used dry needling as part of my treatment plan, & the results were incredible. In just five sessions, my chronic pain was gone & I felt like I had my life back.Dr. Mac took the time to understand my condition, explained every step of the process, & helped me overcome physical challenges naturally without relying on medication. The improvement in my mobility, comfort, & overall quality of life has been truly life changing.If you’re dealing with chronic pain or physical limitations & want a natural, effective approach to healing, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mac & Go Physio. They have earned every one of these five stars!

The best outcomes from physical therapy are going to be from a professional who works with you the entire time. Not handing you off to a tech. Not leaving you on your own to do exercises on the side. Mac not only works with you, he explains the process, why and what outcomes he’s looking for. His guidance took what had been 3+ months of pain and suffering into a reasonable 8 week plan of correction. Rest isn’t always an answer. We corrected movement patterns, worked through issues, had easy pt homework to follow through on, and I’m now moving better at 46 then I did at 36. I’m excited to be back at the gym and back to the activities I love without the fear of re-injury lying myself. You get one life, make it the highest quality, with the highest quality PT. If you want an exceptional experience and a road to recovery all while meeting a great human, come check him out.
