I am willing to do anything for Yvonne L. who is my physical therapist. She has decreased my pain by teaching me methods to increase my mobility without hurting myself. She is exceedingly gifted. In addition, Carlie is the receptionist and is helpful, patient and kind. I am so greatful for both of them.

I've been to plenty of other clinics in my lifetime. The difference here is they don't rush you out the door or cram you in with 5 other people at the same time. They really care about you. Tyler is very experienced with different exercises and definitely knew what he was doing.

Ive been a patient at Action physiotherapy for years. This year, I have been a patient of Resa Wan, who is a physiotherapist and also the owner. Resa is absolutely fantastic! Ive had many physiotherapists in my lifetime and she is hands down the very best! Resa takes her time to do a thorough assessment and treatment. She is never rushed and she gives you plenty of her attention. She is an incredibly competent and knowledgeable therapist and a very kind and caring one. You can be assured that youre in the best hands. Her staff, particularly, Kris, is always helpful, supportive and caring

I have been receiving physio at this establishment for the last few years. Staff are wonderful. Its easy to book an appointment and parking is good.
Ive been seeing Resa for various treatments. She takes the time to do a thorough assessment; uses a variety of treatment methods and sends me on my way with a set of exercises to maintain optimal movement.
Ibe never felt rushed, in fact Resa doesnt restrict her time with me at all. And her dog Maggie greats you at the door.

I've had unusual back issues for a long time and never really addressed them. I chose to to go to Action Physiotherapy(been going here over the past several years) several weeks ago to get treatment and Juli has been very helpful and patient with me, and helped me with my recovery.
