I started working with Sydney, Kinesiologist @ City Sports Physio in August 2021 to help me gain strength and endurance after my car accident in 2019. While my symptoms and pain have gradually lessened, I was not getting and staying stronger. Sydney has been a great motivator, instructing me with clear and detailed explanations to ensure I understand why we are doing each exercise. She pays close attention to how I do my exercises to ensure I am doing everything correctly. Sydney seems to know when I can be challenged to do more and encourages me every step of the way. I really enjoy my time with

Best physiotherapy clinic in the city! Joanne is extremely knowledgeable specifically in pregnancy. I have learned so much from her- from how to improve my posture, sleep better, stretching and strengthening my body with exercises that are easy to understand and effective. Not only does she take the time to listen to my concerns but she isnt quick to jump to conclusions. Instead, she is thoughtful and conservative in her approach with I admire and appreciate. I even send my Personal Training clients to her because she is that impressive in skills and bed side manner. Thank you for taking such
