Hoba Chenari - Osteopathy - Vancouver, British Columbia

Christina Lee

I first saw Hoba a few years ago for a severe sprained ankle. He was very gentle with his treatments and I saw improvements quite quickly and continued improvement by following his exercises as well. Anytime I have an injury or pain Hoba is my first choice for treatment. He is kind, gentle and honest. I’m always so relaxed and at ease in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Hoba Chenari has become an important part of my personal health team (personally curated). A bout with whiplash and increased concussion symptoms sent me on a new mission to find someone who could provide cranial sacral therapy locally. I found Hoba on Google and was pleased to see the 5 star reviews. I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. One treatment alone took the pain in my neck and head away. His gentle and caring approach put me at ease, and continues to be a source of comfort. I also love that his previous training is so comprehensive (beyond what a medical doctor knows) -- he continues to see additional opportunities to improve or ensure the quality of my life.

Never tried osteopathy until met with Hoba. Helped me with my neck and back pain. He loves what he is doing. He is not only an excellent specialist but also a great human being. I'm very happy to be his patient

I started seeing Hoba for a history of neck, shoulder, and back pain. I also suffer from tension headaches and migraines - Hoba was able to address all of these issues throughout our treatments together. He is always focused on addressing my main concern, ensuring he gets to the root of the problem. My latest treatments have significantly improved my mobility in my back, and has made a huge difference with my history of headaches/migraines. I highly recommend Hoba to anyone looking to explore osteopathy as a modality to treat chronic pain!

What I’ve learned about Hoba from when I first came to see him five months ago is not only that is he a kind, caring, generous human being, but a true deep healer.

I am in my senior years, retired and on pension. I came to see Hoba because of a chronic condition I have after spinal cord surgery six years ago. Having spent a big portion of my savings Attending alternative treatment to deal with Post surgery Problems that Never were resolved and were only getting worse.

I have seen such a dramatic change, both physically and emotionally since I began to see him.

I easily now walk 4 to 6 miles a day on the seawall and climb up and down 70 stairs two at a time. I have no joint pain anywhere and I’m able to practice Nine zoom qigong classes a week With Lee Holden this summer.

I can best describe my experience in a edited email I sent to HOBA:

“Hoba because spoken words disappear into airy thinness, I write to say thank you, thank you!

No words to express how grateful that you were able to see me (on such short notice) on Friday.

The dramatic change from when I walked into your office on Friday and when I left was really profound.
…
Your treatment did a 360 turnaround for me. When I left, I felt deeply peaceful and very balanced.
…
What I’m so grateful for is when I come to you feeling physically ill, and in many ways discouraged because of not knowing what’s causing my discomfort, I always leave balanced, grounded, and feeling so much better.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

Over the years, I've used chiropractic work and physiotherapy, but never tried osteopathy until meeting with Hoba. It's been an amazing experience. I arrived with what I thought was knee pain that so bad I had trouble walking. Hoba was able to identify that it was in fact a result of hip alignment, and over time my body has responded wonderfully to his gentle yet precise adjustments. I feel lighter on my feet, more flexible, and lively even. He has an uncanny ability to locate the precise point of tension and release it through his work, and recommended simple exercises. I highly highly recommend him!

I stumbled upon hoba through my wife and it’s no exaggeration to say that I could barely walk because of multiple discs bulging in my lower back. Chiro and acupuncture did little to nothing. Hoba was very knowledgeable thorough and his approach was the only one that spared me potential surgery. After only a couple treatments he got me back on my feet. He was an absolute life saver. He is the only one that treats/maintains my back health now and I highly recommend him to anyone who’s looking or already tried other treatments without success.

Hoba is first and foremost a very nice person. It is always a pleasure talking to him. But he's obviously also a great professional. I came to see him with lower back pain and after a few sessions I didn't feel any of the discomfort I had been experiencing. Highly recommended.
