Applied Kinesiology Center

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. Dr Lise is amazing. She takes times to listen and treats in a gently and caring manner.

i have to start by saying i’m a bit of a chiropractic slut :) i’ve probably been to 30 different ones over the years in various states and countries. What can i say, i like getting adjusted.
After a few months of work with Dr. Lise, I can definitively tell you she’s the best chiropractor i’ve ever worked with. She’s super thorough and very good at getting you super super well adjusted.
I’ve been to my other favorite chiropractor here in the city, and I have to say, it just reconfirmed how awesome she is.
I’ve also been really happy with our work around supplements and diet recommendations. So, if you put it all together, she’s an amazing practitioner all around. Crazy intuitive, able to sense and detect what’s going on, and give you a clear plan to clear it up.
I’ve referred a few people to her, and they love her too. Now my partner, Liyana, goes as well and she loves her too.
Pretty much I’m grateful she lives here, does her work, and is as affordable as she is.

The treatment I have received from Dr Parenteau has moved me from misery to living a full life no longer thinking of myself a sick person. I cannot rate her skills highly enough. After months of endless bathroom trips and gastric distress from Colitis, I felt better within 2 days of treatment, something years of seeing gastros did not provide. Know you are in expert hands at AKSF.

Here is my
review from 2005. I totally still feel the same way as I did back then, except for the fact that she is not as pro-​vegetarian as I’d like my health care provider to be (and as I thought she was back then). Besides that, she is absolutely wonderful and I do whole heartedly respect that she will not tell me the stuff that she knows I want to hear (like how it’s healthy to be a vegetarian) if she does not believe it.

Dr. P Rocks!
I was skeptical about Applied Kinesiology and Chiropractic treatments (I come from a family full of MDs) but after I had back pain, my friend suggested that I find an AK and/​or Chiro practitioner for some help. I wasn’t sure how to find someone, so I looked on Tribe and found Dr. P. She and I talked on the phone for over an hour before we first met and she answered all of my questions and eased my fears. Then, we met for a wonderful appointment and I have continued going for the last many months because of her fabulous care and her assistant’s great personality and efficient help.
She gives gentle treatment when asked and works with your own limitations. I love her treatments. I love that she respects my vegetarian lifestyle and my queerness and I really appreciate how I feel in my body. I’m not a dancer but through Dr. P’s treatments have found such a fabulous new sense of being grounded in my body. It’s almost as if I’m learning about it from a different way. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my experience!

My health insurance is the most minimal that blue cross can offer me.
Why?
because my doctor RULES! RULES! RULES!
she puts me back in place when i knock my femur out. When i twist my heel oddly, she tests and tests and tests and then fixes it. When i’m sick, she gives me what my body needs to get healthy, not just mask the symptoms.
And every time i walk out of her office, i feel BETTER.
Immediately.

Dr. Lise Parenteau at AKSF is amazing at what she does. Her practice is a combination of chiropractic, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, and whatever other skills she has hidden away she hasn’t told me about yet.
I’ve been seeing Dr. P regularly for over 2 years now. She really knows her stuff about how the body works, and how the various systems interact with one another. She has a ton of knowledge on structural anatomy, organs and internal systems, and how those are impacted by how you move, what you eat, and what exercises you do.
She’s also constantly learning and integrating more knowledge and techniques into her practice. She’s real passionate about what she does, and she does it damn well. She knows a lot of techniques that some people would consider «woo woo», but she’s a total no-​nonsense straight-​shooter.
It also helps that she’s friendly and cute. :-)
She shares the office space with an Apple sales and repair center. It’s a nice space, and you can pick up an iPod on your way out.
Since seeing her, I have all but banished my allergies, my diet is better, I have more energy, and I am far more in tune with what my body wants and needs. I highly recommend her.
