McIsaac Health | Kinesiologists St. John's NewfoundlandMcIsaac Health | Kinesiologists St. John’s Newfoundland5.0★★★★★ Based on 30 reviews fromSee all reviews review us onPaul WoodruffPaul Woodruff ★★★★★ Mike has been a huge help to me recovering from a knee injury and I highly recommend his services.He takes time to learn about his patient and then creates a road to recovery, which for me was a properly measured approach that ended up putting me in a much better place than I was before the injury.Thank you Mike, your patience and personality made this a very positive experience!Dark CatDark Cat ★★★★★ Mike is a genuine person who actually listens to hear and customizes personal plans for your needs. He personally trained me to strengthen my body to help with my arthritic knees and foot. My plan was cautious, compact and very effective. I was able to gain strength not only physically but mentally as well. As a nutritional coach Mike also was successful at getting my gut health regulated and getting off some prescriptions! I am also managing pain with vitamins while reducing over the counter N-SAIDS. I could not be more pleased with my progress and truly trust his process as I am feeling the benefits from his vast knowledge on the body and its functions. Most of all I like he has a back to basics approach and explains things so that it makes sense to everyone. Mike didn’t try to upsell or even want me to buy anything he didn’t feel necessary for future use. He was very practical and aware of financial limitations which I really appreciated. I would recommend him to not only help anyone who needs guidance in pain relief but for ANYONE who is wanting to be more naturally strong and healthy. He has a great passion for his work and is willing to do what he can to help you have a better life.vanessa hebbvanessa hebb ★★★★★ Mike was my trainer for almost a year.

The boost I needed on both occasions.Andrew FrenchAndrew French ★★★★★ I had an amazing experience with Mike. I met him 2 years after a serious MVA when I thought my recovery was already peaked. The improvements I seen working with him were unbelievable. Mike is truly passionate about his work and went above and beyond to take time and understand my complex injuries. Working with soo many health professionals (MD, PT, OT, MT, ect.) after my accident, it got easy to tell who was there to get a pay cheque and who was there because they love their job – Mike was easily one of the top health professionals I have ever delt with. It was a pleasure dealing with Mike and I highly recommend him.Angela TeskeAngela Teske ★★★★★ Super knowledgeable, keen to give the best exercises with an eye for detail.

I always feel like I walk away with more knowledge under my belt to help me broaden my health/fitness goals even further.Maren ellis-o'learyMaren ellis-o’leary ★★★★★ Michael is such a fantastic personal trainer! When I first started seeing him I had been recently injured in a car accident so I hadn’t worked out in a very long time. He was so encouraging and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with getting back into the gym and practicing self-care. His workout plans were detailed but also very clear and he did a great job explaining exactly what the exercises were targeting and what we were trying to accomplish by doing them. He made the whole process of going to the gym feel much less intimidating and I could not recommend him enough!Barb and Murray BrownBarb and Murray Brown ★★★★★ Mike has been my personal trainer for a little over a year. I’ve had 2 spinal surgeries & a crushed elbow/broken arm combo which have provided a few challenges. Mike put me through many physical tests to see where my strengths & weaknesses were. He then took that information & built a couple of workouts which included stretching & weight training. Over my training sessions, he very slowly & safely increases the weight to ensure that I’m continuously being challenged. It’s a great way to continue to be motivated & move closer to my goals!Mike’s ability to adapt to each of his clients needs is wonderful. He does not provided cookie cutter workouts.Every workout is designed with the needs of his individual clients to best assist them with their goals.I would highly recommend Mike as a person trainer. He is a good listener & will suggest alternative training if you have a new issue such as a hamstring strain, etc… He is a wealth of information & if he doesn’t know something he will research it & come back with a solid answer. He’s also is a very nice person who will help you get to your goals safely & makes your sessions very enjoyable!Annie LAnnie L ★★★★★ I have been training with Michael since 2019. He is by far the most knowledgeable kinesiologist I have worked with since a motor vehicle accident in 2017 left me with serious cross body soft tissue issues.Other practictioners told me I would never lift weights again after my accident. Michael’s training had me deadlifting 90lbs on one leg three years later.I never thought even before my accident I would be this strong. Working with Michael has been one of the best investments I have made in my health and future aging. I highly recommend him to anyone with an injury who wants to start working out safely or even anyone who wants to start working out in a useful, functional manner and does not know where to start. You’re worth it and so is Michael’s services!Jennifer LucasJennifer Lucas ★★★★★ I was referred to Michael in August for soft tissue injuries from a car accident after seeing massage therapy, physio therapy, and a chiropractor.While those alleviated some of the pain, Michael focused on getting everything stronger to support those injuries in recovery. After 12 weeks with him at 2 sessions per week, I feel 10x better.Michael will take the time to explain each step in the exercise, explaining which muscles the particular exercise focuses on and how it will help the problem area in the long run.He is very informative and has no problem explaining any questions that may arise.It is very convenient that Michael will complete the sessions in the comfort of your own home.He is one of the most supportive therapies that I have completed since my car accident.I highly recommend Michael!April McCarthyApril McCarthy ★★★★★ I worked with McIsaac Health after a car accident and suffered soft tissue damage. Michael helped me rehabilitate and strengthen my core.I later hired him to help me build muscle during weigh loss, as a personal trainer.He is inspiring and supportive.I can not say enough good things about his services. So knowledgeable and professional. He is a wealth of information on nutrition, supplements and improving overall health. Each session was an absolute pleasure and with his help I surpassed my fitness goals.Highly recommend!Bob NoseworthyBob Noseworthy ★★★★★ Mike has been my personal trainer for over 11 years. When I started with him at 59, I didn’t have any injuries but felt that an assessment was maybe a good idea. He is extremely detailed in his approach and immediately identified areas that needed adjustment. For me, the time spent with him has been invaluable. Having just turned 70, his whole body workout approach, has allowed me to continue doing all of the activities that I enjoyed at my younger age. For me, my requirement has been primarily maintenance as opposed to rehabilitation, but he has treated family members and friends successfully who have required the latter. I use the services of a chiropractor and massage therapist and all 3 work together through a team approach. I have worked with him at the gym as well as virtually during the worst times of covid. Both approaches work equally well. Being a kinesiologist, his knowledge is well rounded and all inclusive. I would highly recommend him, whether you need rehabilitation or just day to day maintenance.Don NoseworthyDon Noseworthy ★★★★★ My wife and I have availed of McIsaac Health and Kinesiologist support for about 10 years. We were both in our 50’s at the time and were advised by massage and chiropractic caregivers to avail of rehabilitative support as a result of lingering repetitive strain and past injuries (broken bones and sprains). Michael McIsaac assessed our conditions at the time and initiated exercise routines that addressed our issues, with continual review and upgrades of the routines to accommodate ongoing changes to our conditions. This ongoing care has been very important to us, in maintaining our physical, mental and dietary health. We highly recommend the services provided by McIsaac Health and Kinesiologists.Christopher DarlingtonChristopher Darlington ★★★★★ I had the pleasure of working with Michael earlier this year. I was coming off a lengthy illness and I needed somebody to point me in the right direction in the gym. He tested where I was in terms of strength & mobility and devised a plan for me that I continue to work on. Highly recommend.Bill JackmanBill Jackman ★★★★★ After a serious car accident back in 2019 and two years of physiotherapy, I was referred to St. John’s kinesiologist Michael McIsaac of McIsaac Health.His approach is to get you as strong as possible while being careful not to trigger your past injury.I can tell you that while physiotherapy was ok and helped somewhat, I felt like I was not improving to the point where I could confidently resume my post-accident activities.After working with Michael twice a week for 6 months, the difference in my ability to move, lift and carry out daily activities without PAIN was significantly improved.I’m now on the path to getting my life back as it was before the accident thanks to the post-rehabilitation sessions I have been and continue to do with Michael. He has truly been a God send to me and my family.MrsDoubtfire042MrsDoubtfire042 ★★★★★ Mike has been helping me stay healthy for years now: proper movement, motivation, and so convenient to be able to meet anywhere: home, gym, etc.js_loader
