What They’re Saying About Us
His knowledge, skill, and ability to diagnose and treat the root cause of the problem are truly remarkable. He’s a genuine miracle worker who takes the time to understand what’s going on and provides effective, personalized care.
If you’re dealing with pain, an injury, or mobility issues, I highly recommend Dr. Alex Mac and the team at Olympus Sports Therapy.
I'll admit, I have trust issues when it comes to healthcare providers, so during our consultation I intentionally didn't mention the X-rays, MRI results, or her specific diagnoses. I wanted to see what Alex would find on his own. To my surprise, he identified the problem areas right away and accurately explained what was going on without knowing her imaging results. That gave me a lot of confidence in his knowledge and experience.
A friend recommended Alex, and we're so grateful they did. After just a few sessions, my daughter started saying that her knees felt better. For the first time in a long while, she was motivated to do her exercises at home because she could actually feel the difference.
Now she's back to playing softball after taking a break, and the swelling in her knees has noticeably gone down. Seeing her active and confident again has been amazing. Alex is knowledgeable, caring, and truly made a difference in her recovery. I would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone dealing with knee pain or sports-related injuries!
Dr. Alex Mak will quickly humble you and help you realize that many of our injuries stem from imbalances, mechanics, and not functioning optimally. As I mentioned, this is a true investment in yourself. You have to put in the work to see results—my pain didn’t disappear instantly or overnight. Through a constant desire to grow, feel better (with little to no pain), and consistent training both in and out of the his gym and office real progress happens.
Dr. Alex Mak is young, easygoing, polite, and extremely professional and informative, which makes the entire process more comfortable which felt amazing! You never feel alone during the rehabilitation journey. Having someone on your side who truly understands what you’re feeling—at your worst pain and at every stage of recovery—is incredibly reassuring. He explains what you should be feeling throughout recovery, so you know you’re not only healing but progressing.
I stubbornly learned that pain doesn’t go away overnight—it’s a process. The body works as one complete unit, and everything must be kept in check and aligned. After completing my sessions, I can confidently say I came out pain-free, stronger, and far more knowledgeable—allowing me to live a more optimal life. If you’re experiencing pain, don’t hesitate to work with Dr. Alex Mak. He genuinely helps you understand your body, your injuries, and how to overcome them!
What impressed me most was his holistic approach: he didn’t just focus on temporary relief, but created a structured program of strengthening exercises and supportive routines to help rebuild my stability and resilience. Through his guidance, I not only regained physical strength but also developed the confidence to continue working out independently, something I never thought possible given my history of trauma.
Beyond his professional skill, Dr. Mak brings an approachable, down‑to‑earth energy that makes every session feel encouraging and motivating. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his patients’ progress. Simply put, he’s not only knows his craft inside and out—he’s also a genuine person to be around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pain in these areas can come from a mix of causes such as misalignment, muscle tension, poor movement patterns, or often, a combination of all three. Rather than simply guessing, we always start with a detailed assessment to pinpoint what’s actually driving your symptoms. We look beyond the pain itself to find the true root cause, so your recovery is faster and the results actually last.
Yes. We treat the full body — the spine, upper body, and lower body — and work with athletes, active adults, and motivated individuals to identify the true source of pain and build a clear plan back to full activity. We combine manual therapy, movement retraining, and progressive strengthening to reduce pain and rebuild function for a full range of sports injuries.
At Olympus Sports Therapy, we don’t rely on one tool to fix every problem. Unlike a general sports medicine approach that often focuses on just one discipline, our care blends four approaches: spinal manipulation (targeted adjustments that correct misalignments and improve mobility), manual therapy (hands-on soft tissue work that releases tension and restores range of motion), rehab exercises (custom programs that rebuild stability and strength), and performance training (conditioning built for your sport and daily life).
We give you the tools to understand your own body, hold onto your progress, and reduce your chances of future injuries.
Your first appointment is free and runs about 60 minutes. It’s a low-pressure conversation and hands-on assessment designed to understand your body mechanics and what’s likely causing your issue. It typically includes a quick intake covering what’s hurting, what triggers it, and your training goals, followed by a movement assessment looking at mobility, strength, control, and sport-specific patterns. From there, we walk you through a clear plan with our observations, why the issue is likely happening, and the best path forward.
Every plan is built around your specific goals and challenges, so timelines are going to vary from person to person. Many patients start noticing improvement within the first few sessions, but during your first visit, we’ll give you a projected timeline based on what we find in your assessment.
