Great service!
Bryan Hague has been crucial in my road to recovery. I have been to various physiotherapist clinics and Bryan Hague has been the best by far! His personalized approach has helped me recover from my shoulder surgery. It has not been an easy road, but with Bryan's help I have been able to get my range of motion back along with shoulder strength and stability. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best), Bryan Hague easily gets a 10 out of 10 score.

Raphale has been amazing. She is a very thoughtful physiotherapist and carefully takes into consideration my symptoms to determine the best course of action. She is able to adapt exercises to meet my personal needs. I would definitely recommend her.

It's a very warm and welcoming environment, the front staff are super friendly, and everyone there is very open and accepting of all. I've been seeing Raphale for some TMJ complications. She's incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet and helpful with treatment as well as giving me plenty of tips to reduce any future issues. An overall wonderful experience there and I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking physio!

Raphale is my physiotherapist here and she is the physio Ive ever had, truly fantastic!!! I had a pretty bad neck injury that was aggravated by working from home, I had very little movement, was in sooo much pain and couldnt do my normal weight training routine.
Raphale reduced my pain significantly after one session and I got my full movement back in about 3-4 sessions. I honestly felt better after each session! She really listened to me, gave me at home solutions that worked for me and is a joy to work with! I recently move and am now actually closer to other locations, but I travel
