Body N'Sole Orthopaedic & Sports Rehab

I would like to give an outstanding rating for the clinicians, staff and Dr. Nikki MacGillivary (Nikki) of the Body N Sole clinic in Halifax which specializes in orthopaedic and pedorthic treatments. Im a 37 year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces with a number of foot, knee, leg and lower back issues that cause me much pain and suffering. I had previously seen other clinics and had a pair of orthotics that I felt were not correct for me. As one of the clinics had closed and the other one was in a previous province I was looking for a new clinic. I just did a search on Dr Google to see what I could find for another clinic. One that understood the Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) system, could directly bill them and could find out what I might have for benefits, treatment and coverage etc. I had a couple choices from the Google search and Nikki from Body N Sole was one of them. I reached out to her and even though she was out of town she promptly got back to me. We had a quick conversation and I could immediately tell she was extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the field of Pedorthics, gait and foot biomechanics and knew the details of the VAC system. We agreed to meet at her clinic and she gave me a list of things to bring to assist in the assessment. During the assessment she inquired about my conditions, routine, lifestyle, activity levels, aches and pains in order to figure out the best treatment and what would benefit my condition. Nikki is a skilled communicator who knows what questions to ask to get an accurate picture of the issues. She quickly figured it out and knew my previous orthotics and shoes were not the right ones for me. She was very professional but also down to earth with a good sense of humour. She could tell I was somewhat anxious and skeptical about what could be done for me and took the time needed, asked the right questions, and quickly gained my trust putting me at ease. I could tell she was genuinely concerned for my well-being. For anyone suffering from foot pain, poor circulation, or are afflicted with a disease that causes any of these problems, like myself from poor circulation, Mortons Neuroma, Torn meniscus, lower back pain etc you could surely benefit from the professional treatment at Body N Sole. I highly recommend them, Ive only had my new shoes and orthotics for a short while and my feet, knees and back feel better already. Thank You so much for your expertise and taking the time to find the best treatment for me.

The orthotics I had made have been very helpful to alleviate the pain I have from standing all day at work and running extracurricularly . Will be getting a second pair made soon.

Nikki is absolutely amazing. She is so skilled and a great communicator. My physician highly recommended her and he was right. Her assessment was accurate and she ensured that I received the orthotics which have allowed me to enjoy my daily run, walks and hiking. Happy feet mean freedom to move and Nikki is the professional for the job. Nikki is excellent and I highly recommend her.

Informative, professional. Nicki was able to point out many things I was totally unaware of. Footcare is so important. If you want an expert, I recommend booking with this great lady.
