Not sure about Athletic Therapy?
Here is what some of our clients have to say
|
I’ve seen Emilie and Melanie for a few years now. They’ve been able to help me recover from multiple injuries from sport and every day life. They’re always very professional and knowledgeable but yet personable as well, which makes treatment something I look forward to! I’d recommend Insahyu to anyone who needs a little extra care to the body!

I am very impressed with the mix of exercise and various other techniques (massage, cupping, etc) that Emilie uses to treat patients. It is clear that the staff here care for your health. In 2 short months, I've felt large improvements to my neck/upper back/hip muscles, which I've ignored for years.

I am currently training for a marathon and I won't go to any other place than Insahyu. Emilie created a plan to make sure I am fully functioning before the 42.2KM run! Thank you so much for everything INSAHYU!

I have seen Melanie for athletic therapy and training for the past 15 years. She has successfully treated a wide variety of injuries from post-op rehab to aches and pains due to overtraining. She is, quite simply, the best.

I’ve had Athletic Therapy done previously before and was extremely disappointed - here at Insahyu Training + Therapy, Melanie and her amazing crew, not only welcomed me but were committed to my rehabilitation. I was advised I had a medial torn meniscus on my right knee. They provided knowledgeable insight into my injury, worked with my range of motion, and we continue to develop and increase strength. Insahyu works with your schedule and your goals! Highly recommend!

I saw Melanie after my ACL reconstruction. I wanted to get back to playing volleyball again but wasn't sure it would happen at my age. I am happy to report that Melanie helped me to regain the strength and flexibility in my knee that have allowed me to return to sport. In addition, the training helped me get over the psychological barrier of returning to sport after a major injury and surgery. I am back to playing volleyball without a knee brace and it feels better than my non surgical knee!!! My daughter also saw Melanie following her quadriceps injury in soccer, likewise she helped her get back to top form! Cannot say enough good about this facility and especially Melanie!

I have been Melanie's client for more than ten years. During that time she has successfully helped me to regain strength and mobility after a variety of injuries, including: an operation on my quadriceps; a whiplash, and; chronic conditions related to old injuries to my right hip and shoulder. Currently I visit Melanie on a weekly basis to improve my overall conditioning to improve performance in my single scull. I have seen a number of athletic therapists and trainers over the years. But I keep coming back to Mel. She is an excellent motivator with highly developed clinical abilities. As a former athlete, Mel has a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to athletic performance. Over the years she has devised a number of unique exercises targeted to my specific needs and goals. This has helped me to effectively regain functions after injuries and, as a 67 year-old masters athlete, to improve skill and performance in my chosen sport.

Agility in Manitoba partnered with the certified Athletic Therapists at Insahyu Training + Therapy in 2019 to provide our members with information on rehabilitation and education in injury prevention for our sport of dog agility. Melanie and her team have provided us with amazing support over the years ranging from weekly tips and exercise suggestions to attending our trials to provide on site therapy. Melanie even put together special warm up and cool down routines specific to our sport for our website. Several of our members visit their clinic regularly for training for competition as well as therapy for injuries sustained while competing. Melanie goes above and beyond to help our members and partnering with Insahyu was one of the best things our club did! We highly recommend Insahyu to everyone from professional athletes to those with an active lifestyle!

I have been going to Insahyu now for about 2 years as I was seeking treatment for a shoulder injury. Working with the Insahyu staff, and CAT Emilie Smale has been a fantastic experience! Emilie's approach to my treatments whether it be for my shoulders or that crazy knee of mine have been absolutely instrumental in not only injury recovery, but also in good overall body maintenance, and support in my personal fitness goals. Emilie has not just listened to my stories of aches and pains, but I feel she has personally taken an interest in my overall physical well being and tailored a program that has undoubtedly work for me! So if you’re looking for treatment for injury recovery, in need of a tune up, or if you’re starting your journey towards physical fitness and need some solid support go see Emilie, and the staff at Insahyu! You’ve worked with the rest….now go work with the best!!

I have been seeing Mel for a number of years, even though i am along in years and still have desire to stay quite active, she understands my mindset to get back ASAP and always comes through. She is very professional and at the same time explains thing in the most simplist way. The new location is awesome, easy to get to with plenty of parking.

Emilie is amazing! My body feels 1000x better after our session. Focusing on my problem areas; shoulders, neck, traps, and back, she went innnn and released all my crazy muscle knots. She also sent me home with exercises to do between and after my clients. I can't recommend this gal enough.

I am an older athlete and very active in my training with Ironman/Triathlon events, so my body always has a lot of aches and pains. I started seeing Mel at Insahyu and I was amazed at how quickly my injuries started to heal. She is truly amazing at what she does and without her treatments there's no way that my body can handle the mileage that I put it through. I enjoy attending their clinic as you are always treated well! Keep up the great work Insahyu!

First of all, athletic therapy is not just for athletes. It is for anyone that has any nagging musculoskeletal issues or want to improve their overall health.
I am very impressed with the mix of exercise and various other techniques (massage, cupping, etc) that Emilie uses to treat patients. It is clear that the staff here care for your health. In 2 short months, I've felt large improvements to my neck/upper back/hip muscles, which I've ignored for years.
The most important part is now I've learned how to take care of my body, which is something you don't necessarily get from a massage therapist. Personalized workouts can be viewed and tracked in the Physiotec app.
Highly recommend!

Melanie was friendly, provided a clear diagnosis and treatment regimen, and I left encouraged to follow through on the exercises we discussed. Her follow-up email was prompt and clear. Finally, the little timer on the page she'd posted my exercises was so helpful in actually doing them and doing them for the duration required.

I have been coming to Insahyu Training and Therapy since 2013. I ruptured both my achilles and they were there to get me back on my feet in no time. I was able to do amazing things like compete for a body building competion a year after my achilles injury. They got me moving and running in no time. I wont be able to do the things I am doing now without their help. Amazing staff Jessica, Jan, Emilie and of course the owner Melanie. I am currently training for a marathon and I wont go to any other place than Insahyu. Emilie created a plan to make sure I am fully functioning before the 42.2KM run! Thank you so much for everything INSAHYU!

My teenage daughter needed therapy for her knees so we booked an appointment. Melanie our therapist knew exactly what my daughter needed! She asked my daughter questions to get a proper assessment and explained everything to her perfectly.
My daughter has been doing the at home exercises that Melanie gave her and that, coupled with the weekly therapy so far has made her knees so much better! Very friendly, organized, clean and safe environment. Thank you Insahyu for helping us out! Highly recommended!!!

My husband and I been going to this Melanie for Athletic therapy for the past 2 years. My husband is a big and muscular and not easy finding someone who can really work his muscles to relieve pain. - but we found her! I have have been receiving treatment for my back. Mel is knowledgeable and has extensive experience. The location is an industrial area off Moray with plenty of parking. The facility itself is large with 2 rooms for treatment and a huge area for training and rehab. Staff is very friendly and professional. Highly recommend and easy to get an appointment in right away.

I had an amazing experience at Insahyu. I have been having a lot of wrist pain in my mouse hand because I work a lot. They gave me some great stretches to do, a brace to support my wrist and helped me treat the pain with heat therapy, massage and a paraffin bath. My wrist felt 100x better when I walked out of there.
They are so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I lived closer so I could go every day!

I have been going to see Mel at Insahyu for about three months following a flare up of a long term recurring injury that prevents me from being active. I hate gyms, and they make me really overwhelmed. Whenever I go, there are classes running and everyone is super friendly and positive and even though it can be a little loud, it’s almost like walking into a family gathering.
The AT has been really beneficial and targets my activity goals. Mel pushes me to take a wellness approach with focus on my injury and I am noticing huge progress after struggling with this for more than a decade. The staff is professional and thoughtful, and takes their time to make sure they have addressed my concerns. I couldn’t recommend more highly!

As a trainer, Mel truly cares about your progress with your fitness goals and aspirations. She regularly monitors your progress while supporting your personal strength and training goals. Mel respects the personal limitations of each person encouraging you to always do your personal best.
She keeps the workouts fresh by blending new exercises with familiar favorites. Mel provides positive reinforcement which is on point and encouraging. As my fitness levels change, Mel modifies the exercises to accommodate what I need most to physically and mentally focus on.
She is always encouraging bringing out my best, even when I don’t really want to work out! I wholeheartedly recommend Mel as a personal trainer.
You will not be disappointed with your engagement with her!

I am a 65-year old, fit, soon-to-retire professor. I sought Melanie’s help in February 2009, shortly after surgery to repair a ruptured quadriceps muscle. Following an assessment, Melanie supervised gentle exercises together with heat, ultrasound, and deep tissue massage. In a few weeks I dispensed with crutches. In the months which followed Melanie developed challenging and vigorous new exercises to build up the strength and range of motion of my leg, as well as restoring proprioception. By summer I was riding my bike, sculling, and inline skating. The following winter my wife and I booked a ski vacation in the Alberta Rockies. Without Melanie’s guidance and support I am certain that I would not have been able to resume these activities.
Nearly 10 years elapsed before I sought Melanie’s help again. In August 2019, while sculling on the Assiniboine River, I collided with a dock. A medical examination and x-rays revealed that the excruciating and debilitating pain in my neck was whiplash. Melanie prescribed stretching followed by heat and deep tissue massage. After three months I was back to normal. In conversations during out athletic therapy sessions Melanie encouraged me to train for masters sculling competitions. It liked the idea and our athletic therapy sessions morphed into supervised workouts. Melanie has devised exercises and stretches to improve my core body strength, flexibility and balance. We are working together to correct asymmetries in my legs, hips, arms and shoulders which hinder my ability to balance my boat. Even if I don’t win any races next summer, I am feeling fit, happy and confident in myself.
Melanie Talastas-Soriano is an outstanding athletic therapist. Through well thought-out and monitored interventions she supervised my recovery from two serious injuries. Mel’s positive, supportive and challenging approach to healing has encouraged me to reach my potential in wider aspects of life.

Happy Anniversary Insahyu. I am just so grateful how Mel took care of me and helped me live a painfree life after multiple accidents.
I am now back to my normal routine. My kids love and enjoy the therapy as well after extensive basketball training.
Thank you for being part of our wellness journey!😊🙌👏

For the first time I seen Melanie for Athletic Therapy, she showed me the right way how to exercise my injured shoulder. She also recommended me to have a shoulder pulley on my own so that I can continue my shoulder exercises as my homework.
Beginning of this year, I had a hard to raising my arm up. Exercising at home and going to Insahyu Training + Therapy helped me a lot. I was happy I was able to move my shoulder slowly but surely. Exercise is the best medicine for pain as long as I don't over do it.
I highly recommend Melanie of Insahyu for Athletic Therapy.
I continue to go to Insahyu Training + Therapy for pain free and full recovery of my shoulder.

“Melanie is a wonderful trainer and therapist. She always paid full attention to what I said, took the time to diagnose accurately, and her treatments were effective. I always got the sense that she was applying her skills to me as an individual, and not as a 'case' - I never felt that she switched into 'automatic' with my diagnoses or treatments.
I highly recommend Melanie for athletic therapy and training - I know that I'll definitely go back to her when I need more therapy or training.”

Melanie Talastas-Soriano is truly an excellent trainer. She is the perfect combination of motivator and educator. From the very first session, I was so impressed with Melanie. She instills confidence and encouragement and definitely makes you want to work harder and push yourself further. Melanie’s personality is so infectious and she makes our workouts fun! I really appreciate that she tries to relate each session to something I do on the agility course as a handler. She will clearly explain what we are going to do and how it will benefit my running style – she really goes that extra mile! In the short time I have been working out with Melanie, I can already see an improvement. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Melanie and Insahyu Training and Therapy!

Thank you Mel for all your help ,my dogs are very happy now that I can get around the agility courses faster and they also thank you
: )Because of you I am running much better ,faster on my feet and my balance is improving .I am looking forward to starting up again in the New year. -Pat |

November 2013
Insahyu Training and Therapy is by far our favourite place to work out. We always look forward to our session with Mel whether it is personal training or group bootcamp. Mel has this amazing infectious personality and she gives everyone a personalized experience - even if it's a group class! She ensures the exercises are appropriate for your level of fitness and encourages you to try more each week. We didn't want a trainer who was going to yell at us, or make us feel inferior while working out - and Mel certainly isn't like that! She is motivating and supportive, and genuinely wants you to improve and see results. Like Phil, who in our first training session had to sit down because he was seeing stars, was yelling "TOO EASY" while doing 30lbs kettle bell cleans by the end of the session! All joking aside, Mel does everything she can to help you enjoy your workout. She keeps the exercises fresh and gets you to try new things each week. Training at Insahyu takes the mental effort out of exercising and allows us to focus on our physical effort. We highly recommend Melanie Talastas-Soriano and Insahyu Training and Therapy.

I met Melanie a few years ago after being in a car accident. After a discussion with my MPI adjuster he suggested I try an athletic therapist. Melanie not only treats my injuries but gives me exercises to stay strong and pain free. Previous to my car accident, I often suffered from back pain. Now I have a library of exercises to do whenever my back acts up. My family and I do Zumba and Boot camp with Mel. Mel has treated my kids, my husband, and co-workers; always with great results. You will also find Mel’s classes challenging and fun whatever your level of fitness.

I started training with Mel at Insahyu Training & Therapy in September of 2012. I have lost 53 pounds since I started training with Mel and have gotten a home program that she designed. I have liked working with Mel because it is one on one so it is more personalize to what you need. She makes sure that you feel like she is always involved. She always asks for updates and e-mails me to see how I am doing on my program. I also like the home program that she has given me. She takes the time to show me how to do all the exercises on my program so that I know how to do each exercises. I enjoy seeing her every week for my personal training sessions and Zumba. You are awesome Mel! Thanks so much! =)
