I had a phenomenal experience with a recent injury at Acumen. My knee was locked and unable to straighten, within the... first 5 minutes of my appointment with LeeAnne (an Athletic Therapist/Trainer) she had identified a probable meniscus tear. Not only was she able to quickly identify a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus and probable ACL damage, she could tell the seriousness and urgency of my situation. She was able to reach out to a surgeon in the public system who I met with the next day. Three days later I got in for an MRI and I was booked for ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery two days after the MRI results came in. The whole process from my first appointment at Acumen to my surgery was just over two weeks with LeeAnne checking in every step of the way. Had I gone through the public system it seems very unlikely I would have been taken care of so quickly. Everyone at Acumen were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, I would highly recommend a visit for any injury.read more

I've just finished the knee conditioning program (12 sessions over 6 weeks). The instruction and care was excellent:... exercises I could do that were tailored to where I am at; a variety of ways to exercise the same muscle (so I can change-it-up); and lots of education about doing exercise with minimal to no pain. Nicole along with Miranda and Lee Anne were caring, supportive and helpful. My mobility and range of motion has improved and I'm curious to see how much more change happens as I put this program in action over the longer term.read more

I have been working with Mike for over a year and he has transformed my athletic ability taking me from a severely... injured competitor (shoulder issues, hip issues, ankle issues... you name it) to where I am now: a lot less pain, almost 100% restoration of my shoulder, and hitting new levels of athleticism. Committing to the process with Mike, in an effort to fix my shoulder, was the best decision I could have made. I am very grateful for his knowledge and help over the past 15 months.read more

I tore my ACL and meniscus at work and was referred to Acumen by my doctor after an MRI showed some pretty serious... damage. My experience at Acumen from initial consultation, surgery with Dr. Jesse and the long road to recovery has been nothing short of 5 stars. This isn't a standard physio clinic, they strive to use the best methods and systems to ensure that recovery is done to return their clients to the best life possible. Everyone who works here is insanely qualified, passionate and most of them are kinesiology super nerds (especially LeeAnne, who I have been doing my training and therapy with and deserves 6 stars).read more

I can't say enough good things about the people of Acumen Clinic. After 8 years of having doctors refuse to treat me... because there was a lawsuit involved, I found Acumen Clinic and booked an appointment with Dr. Shantz. Dr. Shantz wanted to make sure that surgery was my only option, so I went for therapy with Nicole and Cayla, and they worked very hard with me while accommodating for my needs. Everyone is very understanding and kind. After about a month, things didn't get better so I opted for surgery and boy did we find some problems. 8 years of ongoing pain was finally explained for, and I got a ligament repair in my knee.Afterwards, I have worked with LeeAnne after recovery. She is so friendly and understanding and took the time to communicate with me for my every anxiety or problems that came up. We had a great time together and I am much more improved and can finally squat and am strengthening my knee with Nicole who fun and outgoing. I am now 4-5 months post op and am feeling much better and can do many things that I couldn't for 8 years!Thank you!read more

They never call to see if everything is good or not. Not sure if this is how it work take your money do the procedure... and leave you be. They should make an effort to see how your doing, if the procedure worked, therapy, or other procedures.read more

I am presently seeing Leanne for an issue with a nerve affecting movement of my shoulder. She is incredibly... knowledgeable, personable and amazing at explaining exactly what she is doing. She ensures that I understand what she is doing and why. Her intellect is the primary reason I chose to see her for my issue. It is very clear to me that she cares deeply for her patients which is an excellent reassurance that my treatment is in the right hands.I also have some experience with Chris. He also is an excellent coach and is able to convey the justification for his exercise prescriptions well. I have noticed that he has trained some clients for many years which should speak to his ability to build rapport and deliver results.read more

I can not speak highly enough of the care my 13 year old son received from Dr Shantz, Leanne and Mike. The time this... team takes to fully assess, diagnose and explain his pitching injury has been second to none. Leanne has been outstanding and has gone above and beyond to keep in close contact with us, adjust rehabilitation where needed and keep tabs on my sons progression. Not only has she kept in touch with us but also with my son's personal trainer and baseball coach to ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards the goal of back to pitching in the summer. I am so grateful to have my son's health in an unbelievable team's care. Highly recommend the Acumen team!read more

I have tremendous appreciation for Cayla Galarneau, Athletic Therapist! After dozens of unhelpful consults with other... medical professionals, she is the first person to provide me with pain relief and get me back to the active lifestyle that I love, feeling even stronger than before! Her assessment skills are outstanding, and she got to the root of my chronic knee pain and then tailored a specific recovery program to meet my needs at the pace that was ideal for me. From the first day that I met Cayla at the Acumen Clinic, she was committed to my total recovery and she was there for me every step of the way as she progressed me forward toward my goals. I cannot put into words my gratitude for both her exceptional skill and effort!read more

Started to work with Leanne and the Acumen Clinic after getting the proper diagnosis for my shoulder injury after 2... years of frustration. Leanne was awesome. She is vibrant and utilizes contemporary rehabilitative techniques pertinent to my shoulder injury. She took me through an individualized program designed for me to get me back to playing sports again. Feeling much better after 4 sessions. Stick taps for Leanne and her team! Highly recommendread more

I had ACL reconstruction in early March. Lee Anne was able to do an excellent job of guiding me through recovery,... despite the fact that we were not able to meet in person, due to covid 19 restrictions.Through telehealth, (FaceTime) I was able to meet with her every couple weeks to review and improve my physio exercises & treatment. This has resulted in constant progression, which has made it possible, to successfully recover from surgery.On top of doing an excellent job, Lee Anne offered extra curricular help and guidance. She provided me with additional information on golf specific rehab, and happily answered all my questions or concerns.She has gone above and beyond, I am lucky to have had her help, as well as the additional support from all the staff at Acumen.I would recommend Lee Anne & Acumen to anyone who wants to ensure successful rehabilitation. They have made this process possible and enjoyable.read more

Had my first session today with LeeAnne, she went through a series of tests to find out what's going on with my... shoulder pain and then we hit the gym floor and went over some exercises and proper form. This experience was far superior than any other physio I've done in the past and LeeAnne was really awesome!read more
