Osteopathy, Athletic Therapy, and Strength Training

Testimonials

Fred worked with me on a knee injury and had me pain free within weeks. He excels in explaining the injury to the patients and then putting the ability to heal themselves in their hands, thus making them feel enabled and in control over their situation, all the while providing innovative techniques for rehabilitation that make the process quick and fun! He shows a lot of concern for his patients well being, a total pro all the way!! If I ever get future sporting injuries I’m going right back to Fred!

As former cyclist I ended up with back pain in my early 40’s, which since then I had struggled with all kinds of therapy to get back in shape. It allowed me to live a very basic lifestyle, without any sport or physical activity, just enough to function and survive, and be as good provider for my family as I could be. I tried a lot of different therapeutic and treatment techniques, where I spent t a lot of money for over 6 years without any result. This left me very depressed, and I decided to look some alternative. In November 2009 through my massage therapist I met Frederic in his clinic. After discussing my condition with me, he was willing to give it shot and fix my back pain.
I have to admit I did not believe than there was some other alternative therapy method that could help, since I had gone through so many others. His knowledge of the human body and real care about his patient was unreal, after few treatments in the gym I could see some positive improvement, and following water therapy therapy sessions in the pool to decompress my spine, I started to see a big difference. Slowly I started to believe in better days.
Today, I’m back riding my bike and playing golf like never before thanks to Frederic and his great work.

I started seeing Fred when I tore my ACL and meniscus while training for nationals in wrestling. I was in a large amount of pain post-injury, however with the help of Fred this pain went away and I went into surgery pain-free! He is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and took a personal approach to every appointment. I would have never gone this far without Fred’s continued help and support throughout my rehabilitation process. I want to say thanks for all your insight and help!

I have been a client of Fred Koomsatira since 2004 when I suffered a broken hip due to an accident. I can honestly say that without his help and guidance I would not be in the shape I am. I will be 63 and feel great and look forward to our regular workouts and body tweets when necessary Fred has been a life saver and is extremely knowledgeable in his field

I’m a world-class athlete in racket sports. I have competed all over the world for more than 15 years in badminton, squash, tennis and ping-pong. I’ve put my body under intense stress – just in 2008 I was training in China with ex badminton world-champions 5 times per week 6+ hours per day.

In 2010, I severely injured my back playing tennis. Thereafter, it got worst. I could not walk for days as soon as I played. I tried several professionals: physiotherapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, online courses. Nothing was doing it. To make things worse, my career took an unexpected turn when in 2012 I completely tore my Achilles.

In 2013, I met Fred. He started to work on my Achilles and quickly he helped me get to walk, then run. After the Achilles, he fixed my back problem in 2 months. After 3 years of suffering, do you know how it feels to touch the ground? My quality of life and sports performance improved dramatically.

You have tried all options and don’t believe anything can help you anymore? You want world-class athlete treatment? Look no further. Contact Fred, his training methods are unparalleled.

I am now injury-free and I hope to keep working with you in the future to prevent injuries now.

Fred helped me regain my mobility, flexibility, and strength after major back surgery.

My balance went from almost non-existent to better than it has been in my whole life.

His patience and structured coaching helped me to overcome a mental block when it came to coordination. I now have a “can do” attitude instead “I can’t do that”.

All this without any reoccurrence of my back problem during the five years I have been working out with him.

I am never bored and constantly challenged. Stress relief to the nth degree!

 

Thanks/Merci

I have been working with Frederic for over a year. He is the quiet teacher that in many ways has helped me improve my therapy skills. He is a Master of the Burdenko method in every aspect of his work and lifestyle and I truly benefit from his guidance every time we exchange.

Referred by a friend, and very glad I was… Fred makes sure you leave with your problem explained, understood, and solved…
I went for a knee issue that i couldn’t pin-point the reason for, and now i feel much better.. with the follow up exercises he gave me, now i talk about the pain as something in the past…
He is definitely the go-to guy for physical problems caused by wrong workout, bad posture, or injury.

Fred’s approach to healing is by far the best I’ve seen. He has been my healer for many years and rarely have I approached him with a problem that he didn’t have the solution too.

His calm and methodical approach makes you feel at ease and confident that your pain will soon go away. He understands that taking time off training is often not an option and finds ways to balance your training with the healing process. Most importantly, he goes beyond the “quick fix” and leaves you with a plan to not only fix your problem but ensure that it doesn’t come back.

When asked if I can recommend someone to help with an injury, without hesitation I recommend to give Fred a call.

   Patrick Charron, Martial Arts trainer

I was told by my doctor that I have a herniated disc. He also mentioned that doing martial arts is not an option for me any more. Because I was not satisfied with the answer I saw an osteopath too. He have me a similar diagnosis. During that time I had trouble sleeping because of the back pain. And even sitting, walking or any activity that involved any moving was very painful. So I asked Fred if he can help me. He checked my RMI report and said that is serious but he can help me. I was really happy because he was the only one who gave me any hope. After the first session in a swimming pool I felt OK. My pain was still there but I felt a little bit better. Next morning I woke up feeling great. Couldn’t`t believe it that I slept the whole night without waking up. To me that was a huge progress. And after 3 sessions my pain went down 80%. Still don’t know how that is possible but don’t care. After a few months I’m back to my usual training. The only thing that I can say is: “I have the best therapist ever.” Thanks Fred!!

Fred, what can I say about Fred. I had back spasms so bad that I was screaming in pain. Fred came to the house and he and Philip helped me out of bed because I could not walk.
2 hours later,no back spasms and able to walk. He is a miracle worker. Recently I was hit by a cyclist and got pretty messed up. Fred is here again for me. I highly recommend Fred to anyone with pain.
Thank you Fred

I first came to see Fred in 2012 looking for relief from perpetual shoulder pain and a way to maintain a physically active lifestyle.  Fred was able to diagnose my condition, develop a progressive rehab plan and guide me through the process to a full recovery.  Not only did my shoulders regain their strength and mobility but my overall conditioning improved.  Delighted with the results, I decided to continue training with Fred on physical conditioning.  Today, I have greatly improved my functional strength, flexibility and coordination.  When it comes to rehabilitation and physical conditioning, Fred is wise beyond his years.

Through my many years of martial arts and athletic training, I have suffered numerous injuries. If it were not for Fred’s expertise, I would not be able to continue my training to this day. In addition to rehabilitating my injuries, Fred has also taught me many health skills which have helped me prevent further injuries as well as improve performance gains.

   Terry Delino

Fred is a truly excellent trainer. He is the perfect combination of tough and encouraging. He suggests exercise routines that are individualized and challenging, but not more than you can handle. Because of his efforts, I am stronger and more flexible; I have better balance and most importantly my headaches and the chronic pain I felt in my knees, hips and lower back have gone. Working out has become fun and rewarding. I recommend him without reservation.
