"Dear Shawn,
Your letter announcing your new article on 'Low Back Pain - A Contemporary Healthcare Crisis' made me proud of (what) our profession (can be).
As a member of CMCC's Board of Governors it is my duty to see that our Vision (to be an academic institution recognized for creating leaders in spinal health) is fulfilled. The approach to practice that you espouse is perfectly in line with the ethic that properly garners the cultural authority to be leaders in spinal health.
I sincerely hope that your voice rings out beyond the circle of "informed" practitioners to educate both the outliers in our profession as well as the many stakeholders who stand to gain from chiropractic establishing it's rightful place in the health care community."
Thank you,
Dr. David Gryfe, Fellow of the Royal College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences (Canada)

"I just want to thank you for the treatments I have been getting from you. The last one has changed my life. Sounds dramatic, I know, but I have finally been able to experience pain-free living for the first time in a long time, so thank you, thank you, thank you."

"I have been very impressed with all of the services I have utilized at SHAPE. The focus on client experience is clearly evident and I am happy to say that I am in much better physical condition overall since starting at SHAPE – greatly reduced back and neck pain since working with Shawn and definitely increased strength and cardio fitness from working with Tuan and Eric as well!"

"It was by chance I met with Dr. Thistle. I reside in Los Angeles, CA and while visiting family in Toronto, I complained of upper-back and shoulder pain which had been ongoing for three months. My father suggested I go to a chiropractor. I was not enthusiastic and replied, "I'll see one when I get home". Subsequently, my father took it upon himself to find a chiropractor. Luckily, his online search led to Dr. Thistle, with whom I met. 24 hours later. He provided immediate relief. Although you can't undo months, weeks or years of issues with one visit and a few adjustments, it is clear to me that my visit with Dr. Thistle was the springboard I needed to get on the right track. Further, I have been pain free since. Dr. Thistle also went out of his way to help find a doctor in the Los Angeles area and I am really appreciative of that. I highly recommend Dr. Thistle to anyone in need of chiropractic care."

"The second I crossed the finish line at The 2008 Sarasota International Marathon, I felt like I had just conquered the world! Not only did I make it across the finish line, I placed 17th in my age group out of about 90 competitors. For my first race ever - I was more than happy with my results! I accomplished something that I had worked so hard for over the past 6 months – when about one week prior to the race, I had to put an instant halt to my training and was terrified that I was not going to be able to compete as a result of my knees suddenly telling me that enough was enough! I could barely manage to walk when waking in the morning, let alone attempt to make it through my long runs leading up to the race.
My 18km run the week before the race turned into a 1km run because the pain was so excruciating! In a panic, I contacted SHAPE, and sure enough Shawn came to my rescue and introduced me to ART®! You were able to quickly dive in and get at the area that was bothering me - while at the same time informing me of why I was feeling the pain and what to do to avoid it in the future. I made it through the race, with hopefully many more to come! Without you and your outstanding ability to alleviate pain through ART®, I may not have even made it through my warm up on race day!!!
You were genuinely concerned about my injury and determined to do whatever possible to make sure I was able to compete - you are my new HERO! The dedication, hard work and great knowledge from you and your entire team is greatly appreciated!"

"Through many years of sports and competitive dance, I have had numerous injuries which in my 30’s and 40’s became chronic. For years I visited a range of physiotherapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists, but it wasn’t until I was treated at SHAPE that I recognized the remarkable difference. In fact, its almost unbelievable how accurately they can make a diagnosis, and then perform the right treatment for the right injury. Bottom line is they provide results quickly. I can’t tell you how thankful I am to be out of some of the pain I was experiencing for years. If there’s such thing as miracle workers – these guys (Shawn and Sender) are it!. The fact that they follow up the next day with a phone call or an email asking how I am doing, speaks volumes to the service!"

"I went airborne down a flight of stairs, badly bruising my left thigh and tailbone! It was quite sore and very uncomfortable. Dr. Thistle listened attentively, assessed my injuries and helped loosen and relax my tense glute and lower back muscles. I went in feeling as though I'd been hit by an SUV and walked out feeling limber and hopeful. I seldom entrust my body to chiropractors as I'm usually cautious of having more damage than good done unto me. This is certainly not the case with Dr. Thistle. To ensure that I was feeling better after my first treatment, he sent a quick note to check up on me. Hats off to the Dr. Thistles of the world, who put their heart into their work."

"We are tournament champs! We were ranked #1 out of 40 teams and held our ground - undefeated 7:0. Despite the rain, it was awesome. I played a fair amount of points and felt 100%! Jumping, cutting, diving, and bending low were a breeze - nothing compared to Eric and Gregg's workouts! Tonight I have a game and the legs are feeling excellent. Good job Dr. Thistle - I think I was fixed after the first week! Thanks for making me bionic again!"
