I was in a car accident a few years ago, mobility in my hip became a huge issue. I was not walking right and had alot of lower back pain,I also gained alot of weight as it happened during covid and i could barely stand long enough to cook for myself at the start of my injury. My doctor suggested kinesiology (along side other treatments.) Thats how I met michael, he worked with me for a long time. Michael was professional, comforting and made me smile on some of my hardest days! Its thanks to michael i can now walk without pain again for mutliple hours! He taught me the tools i needed to continue with my pain management after our sessions were over, which was huge for me as I am a person in recovery from substance use disorder. He never passed judgement on me and only ever provided motivation, truth, kindness and shared his knowledge! He adjusted exercises to fit my situation, I lost about 50 pounds during our training, i have started my weight loss journey again now and can do workouts more advanced then the ones I originally learned with mcisaachealth to rebuild my stability and strength in muscles that lost those things! Thanks to michaels ground work with me I feel comfortable moving forward with that and know how to help any pain I may have naturally along my progress!! I highly recommend mcisaac health, it is thanks to them I feel confident and excited to continue in my goals even years later!

After a car accident over a year and a half ago, I still had a lot of lingering pain in my hip. Other treatments had minimal impact on this particular injury and I was at the point of hoping that over time it might sort itself out. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. During a visit to my GP, he suggested I try some Kinesiology treatments. I was a little skeptical at first after going through the other treatments. I decided to give it a try and after doing some research one name kept coming up, Mike McIsaac of McIsaac Health. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Taking a methodical approach to diagnosing the issue and then ramping up the various exercises proved beneficial. Mike also has an impressive compilation of information on his web site, including videos on every exercise he does with his patients. At the end of the day, the hip is not 100% but it is noticeably better than before. I intend to keep doing those exercises at home to keep the progress going. I highly recommend Mike.

Was recommended McIsaac Health for a long term pain issue associated with my lower back and core. Michael is very informative and well versed in healthy movement, kinesiology, physical therapy and and individualized assessment and strength training strategies for the long term reduction of pain, stiffness and poor posture. Michael fills the gap between immediate physical therapy after an accident or injury, and the long term rehabilitation that comes in the months and years afterwards. His training and experience can facilitate health and strength protocols that may be needed for healthier and more pain-free long term outcomes. He was able to help me reduce my pain and soreness through a specialized training program personally tailored to increase my strength, balance, and form, in the areas that supported my healing and reduced my symptoms, thus setting me up for long term success, by developing a easily understood and accessible strength training regimen. I am now able to use the tools he's provided to help me in my healing journey and become a stronger, more capable person and to be able to reduce any potential future pain. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael and McIsaac health for anybody who may be dealing with chronic pain or post-injury and might need help navigating the long term challenges that come during/after physical therapy, occupational therapy and/or chiropractic therapy.

After years of experiencing on and off lower back pain I made a call to McIsaac Health. After a quick assessment was given a few simple and easy to perform corrective exercises. To my surprise I felt relief immediately and weeks later the pain has not returned. Highly recommend this service!

My experience with Mike at McIsaac Health has been very rewarding in a rather short period of time. I came to Mike to help with establishing a general fitness workout routine as I recover from a neck issue. Following a session where he ostensibly took a measure on where I was at physically, Mike gave me a simple routine with stretching and light weight training. What seem to be fairly simple movements and fairly short workouts are creating some rather impressive results as I follow Mike's guidance. My mobility, strength, posture, alignment and more are benefitting greatly from what Mike has done for me through this and follow-up sessions. Mike is a pleasure to speak with, a gentleman and a professional. I would not hesitate to recommend McIsaac Health to anyone in the market for such services. Mike McIsaac is certainly helping bring out the king in me;). Thanks for everything Mike.

If you’ve ever had to recover from health issues, you know it’s not just a physical journey—it’s mental and emotional, too. Michael McIsaac has honestly been a game changer for me throughout this process. He understood where I was coming from, listened to my concerns, and worked with me at a pace that felt right. What really made the difference was his focus on both nutrition and strength. Instead of overwhelming me with complicated plans, he gave me practical, easy-to-follow advice—like what foods and supplements would best help my body heal, and which routines would rebuild my strength without pushing too hard. Week by week, I started feeling more energized and capable. His encouragement made those tough days easier, and his expertise gave me the confidence that I was heading in the right direction. The combination of nutrition and movement helped me regain not just my physical strength, but also my sense of wellbeing. If you’re recovering from any kind of health challenge, I can’t recommend Michael enough for his caring approach and clear guidance. With his support, I am on a forward path to feeling like myself again. Thank you so much Michael!

I was referred to McIsaac Health due to a long time recovering from a MVA. From the moment I first stepped out of the car, Mike greeted me with a smile and continued to do so for each session I attended. Living in a small community for over 60 years with no access to a gym, raising 4 kids was the only workout I knew. I was scared that I would not be able to get through the personalized program he set up for me but Mike made me feel at ease and gave me confidence. He is a library of knowledge in his field and offers many helpful suggestions to continue strengthening at home. He has a heart of gold and I wish there were more “Mikes”. Highest Recommendation

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.

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's that have used McIsaac Health have gained exceptional results everytime!
