Client Success Stories

I’m thrilled to share my incredible experience with Kinesiologist, “Aaron Russell” and “McIsaac Health”! After struggling with extreme posture issues and debilitating muscle pain and tightness, I was desperate for relief. That’s when I was referred to kinesiology.From the initial consultation to the final session, Aaron demonstrated exceptional expertise, compassion, and dedication. He took the time to understand my unique needs, creating a personalized plan that addressed my specific challenges.Through a series of gentle and progressive exercises and techniques, Aaron helped me release tension, improve my posture, and regain my strength. The results were nothing short of remarkable – my pain levels plummeted, my energy soared, and I felt empowered to take on daily activities with renewed confidence.If you’re struggling with posture issues, muscle pain, or simply seeking optimal wellness, I wholeheartedly recommend McIsaac Health. Their expertise and passion have changed my life, and I’m confident they can do the same for you. Five stars aren’t enough!
Mike is a genuinely awesome trainer. He helped me get stronger after my MVA. After my very humbling initial assessment he created a training plan for me that helped me recover and get back to a normal active life faster. He pushed me where I needed it and through that I discovered I could lift a lot heavier than what I thought I could. He is a wealth of information when it comes to strength training and gives excellent advice on what supplements will work for you. On top of all that he is hilarious and is a ray of sunshine to be around. I highly recommend his services.
After a bad car accident where I was rear ended and left with a traumatic neck injury, I turned to Mike to help me recover. As someone who did not miss a workout for 20 years, this injury devastated my life. While so many others told me I may never recover, Mike focused on meeting me where I was and helping me progress, showing me my progressions, focusing on being a positive influence to me at a time when I was struggling from a pain and life changing perspective. Mikes attitude, training, positivity, and approach made me feel immediately like I could do this and recover, while I am still working towards that, Mike is a core reason for me being as far ahead as I am. And I’m confident with his continued support I will make a full recovery.
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!
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.
Mike was my trainer for almost a year. He was highly recommended when I mentioned to other health care providers that I was looking to start strength training in hopes of helping my body recover.A couple years ago I was involved in a motor vehicle accident while I was 5 months pregnant and have ever since been experiencing significant lower back pain along with neck pain.Mike put me through many physical tests to see where my strengths & weaknesses were. He then took that information and built workouts customized to my injuries which included stretching & weight training.Throughout the course of my training with Mike, he very slowly & safely increased the weights to ensure that I was continuously being challenged, without causing any further issues.Mike’s ability to adapt to each of his client’s needs is wonderful.I would highly recommend Mike! He is very knowledgeable in his field and has a great sense of humor! You won’t be disappointed!!
Mike did a thorough assessment of strength & imbalances and designed two workouts geared towards strengthening and rehabilitation of recurring injuries. Super effective as long as I do the workouts! Would love a group setting to increase motivation and commitment to the gym work.
For many years, I have dealt with Michael on a professional level helping those injured get back to pre-injury condition. He has always provided great results and is a wonderful person to work with. Then a few years ago, after being involved in an accident myself, I decided to go to Michael as a client. The rehab I received and the results in a short amount of time was incredible. Highly recommend.
Michael has provided me with personal training as well as advice on Clean Eating and Dietary Supplementation. He is knowledgeable, professional and I attribute my good health at 62 to his expert guidance.
I have been a client of Mikes several times over the last decades after being in multiple car accidents. Mike is very passionate about what he does and it shows in his business. Mike Genuinely cares and will go the extra mile for his clients.
Mike helped me recover from my shoulder injury related to a motor vehicle accident. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend his services. He also set me up on an exercise plan that I can continue to use help strengthen and prevent future injury
Michael is one of the best in his field, have worked with him several times and continue too, if your looking for someone to get you back on your feet after an injury, or just getting in shape, he’s the guy who will be with you every step of the way!
Mike is great to work with, very knowledgeable and friendly.
I have to give Mcissaac Health care 5 stars. This is a very professional service, with the most extreme intensive over view of the total body I have experienced. I felt that every aspect of my injuries where evaluated worked on including dietary effects and all body systems . There where constant records and at times daily contact to ensure my health. I felt respected listened too and encouraged. I also found their holistic approach to health has taught me a tremdous amount in physical active injury recovery and avoidance as well as the effects of food and health life style. All this was all done during the pandemic so distance was not issue. I was supervised via zoom as my own personal trainer watched and guided each move. I had equipment required sent to my door and given personal lesson on use as each exercise and movement was orcastrated according to my injuries. It has been the most complete and comprehensive health care I have every received. I found their range in services, communication skills, education level as well as personal experience to be one of the top health care providers in the province and I would recommend McIsaac Health to all. Thank you .
I would highly recommend Michael and his team. His professionalism and knowledge is exceptional. My client’sthat have used McIsaac Health have gained exceptional results everytime!
Mike has assisted me for years with tips on keeping my diet clean to help fuel me properly to stay active. His knowledge and guidance for strength training and recovery really impacted my progress in a great way!

He supports a multi-disciplinary approach to personal health and recovery with open and honest communication with all sides.Much respect for Mike, he is your best choice for kinesiology.
I am delighted to leave a glowing review for this talented man. I have been a kinesiology client of Michael’s on and off since 2011. Over the years he has consistently demonstrated expertise in developing plans to strengthen and rebuild my body after injuries plagued me. Always the consummate professional, his compassion and humour made pushing myself to achieve my goals possible despite all odds. I highly recommend Michael for kinesiology and for nutritional intervention.
I suffer from a number of chronic diseases. A number of years ago Mike was recommended to me by a physiotherapist. So I spent 12 weeks training with him . Again early this year he did training with me again.Highly recommend McIsaac Health, very professional and knowledgeable in restoring physical movement. The boost I needed on both occasions.
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.
Super knowledgeable, keen to give the best exercises with an eye for detail. Always feel stronger, more alert, upbeat and balanced after our sessions. Thanks Mike!
Michael has simply taught me how to live a better life. It doesn’t matter what is on the outside. He’s helped me eat better, exercise better, and recognize that it only takes little things, minor changes, to help be healthier on the inside.
I highly recommend Mike! He’s a very knowledgeable and caring kinesiologist. I always feel like I walk away with more knowledge under my belt to help me broaden my health/fitness goals even further.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
