My adult daughter has difficulties with balance and coordination because of brain tumour treatment as a child. She is now an adult and she has improved remarkably working with Andrea at Fraser River Rehab over the past several months.

I’ve been working with Fraser valley rehab ever since my car accident a few years ago. They have been so amazing, insightful and understanding. They help me get my life back on track. Teach me to be patient with myself through the healing process. Educate me on the process and stages I am going through. Definitely HIGHLY recommend them for any of their services.

Fraser has been instrumental in my son's recovery and rehabilitation following a catastrophic vehicle accident. His professional and caring nature has been a tremendous support to both my son and myself as we work on rebuilding life independence once again. Anyone who has the privilege of connecting with Fraser for whatever walk in life you are in is truly blessed.

Fraser is very attentive, caring, and sincere in his interactions and communication. His good listening skills and person-centered and strength-focused approach to his work make him an excellent therapist and person to work with. Fraser models integrity in everything he does and strives for excellence in his work, bringing passion, attention to detail, and respect to his sessions and clients.

I have been working with Fraser for a few months now, to help me deal with my stress in a more positive way so that I can cope better with the intractible migraines that I suffer from. He has been an enormous help to me and I feel I now have control of my headaches instead of the headaches controlling me. He is kind and caring and he listens and then tailors the plan to suit my needs. Thank you, Fraser for all your help and your kindness.

My experiences with Fraser have been very positive. He is very personable, super knowledgeable and professional in his dealings with all individuals. It was apparent to me on my first visit that Fraser seeks to understand the specific condition to be addressed rather than coming in with a pre-planned approach. He is very flexible with his scheduling and appointment locations and truly seeks to make it work for the client. I have nothing but positive things to say about Fraser's approach and his willingness to explore the conditions he is addressing. Thank you Fraser for making my rehab journey such a positive one!
