I have had to use a cane now for about three or four years because of pain in my leg. One day I was in the music store down the street when Randy came in for a coffee and told the owner about laser therapy. I overheard him and asked him a few more questions, and then came to his office right away for my first treatment. Randy told me that it might take a few treatments, but the pain in my leg went down immediately! Laser treatment has changed my life – it’s like the difference between night and day. I am sleeping through the night, I am able to work on the dock comfortably, and while I still carry a cane, now it is just in case – I don’t really need it! Laser really works for me, and I know it can work for lots of other people too. Jack, Powell River

I started having pain in the anterior part of my right hip in the fall of 2015. The pain was worse with activity, which was difficult to avoid as I run competitively for the university that I attend. I started seeing a physiotherapist for several weeks and the pain seemed to subside enough to make it through the cross country running season without having to miss any training time. However, during a training session for the cross country ski team that I compete for during the winter months, the pain came back with a vengeance – worse than I’d ever felt it before, and I was so discouraged. I went back to the physiotherapist, and did my exercises religiously. While the pain subsided, it did not fully go away and I spent most of the ski season using only my upper body to ski and having to miss most of the scheduled races. I tried adding in going to a chiropractor, but to no avail. Finally, in the spring of 2016, a friend recommended that I see Randy, or in her words, “The Evil Genius.” It did not take long to realize that while the other forms of treatment were helpful, they were not reaching the root of the problem and the cause of the pain. Randy was able to do so, and after about five sessions, I was able to complete my first hard training session pain-free. I wasn’t even aware that I was without pain until I had finished the session and realized how great it was to run and feel normal – it was the best! Brianna, Camrose

I was a couch potato before I started seeing Randy. I had sort of collapsed, in part due to arthritis through my whole body. Doctors had said there was nothing they could do to help me due to my age, but I wasn’t willing to accept that. My naturopath recommended that I try seeing Randy. I have been working with Randy for about three years, and am no longer stuck on my couch. I have regained about 55 per cent of my mobility, and my pain levels are down significantly. I have my life back, and that is worth the time and cost to me! Grace, Edmonton, age 85 and going strong!

I have been getting deep-tissue massage for almost twenty years now. No one else has made as much difference in my chronic pain, nor taught me more about my body and why it’s imbalanced, than Randy. I am more aware of what’s going on with my body and am working towards correcting the structural problems instead of just treating the symptoms. Randy got me through a very bad fibromyalgia flare-up in 2014, where I was uncertain if I would ever walk normally again. I know that as I keep working with Randy, I will feel better and better, able to exercise more, and keep my chronic pain under control. Vanessa, Edmonton
