I found this place through a family friend and so glad I took the advice. My physiotherapist Hayley is legit the best. She is super friendly, knowledgeable and makes sure you really understand what's happening. Granted, there were a few sessions where I left out the door hobbling but it was worth it. I felt better after the initial soreness went away and I could feel my foot getting stronger and stronger. She also was able to help me with exercises for issues I didn't realize were an issue. If you are coming here, definitely see her! FYI the shockwave isn't always the most pleasant experience. Highly recommend this place.

After doing 8 weeks of OHIP covered physio at Bridgepoint post knee replacement surgery, my surgeon…read morerecommended I find a private physio clinic to get me more range of motion and mobility. I also had a wrist issue that was caused from using a cane in the first 2 months after surgery. Based on Yelp reviews, I started at another clinic and they were nice, but after a month, I wasn't seeing results. Then I found Ace, and have been impressed with Hayley from the start. She warned me that a lot of the treatments and exercises could be uncomfortable or even a bit painful but that breaking down scar tissue was what I needed and it's painful. I appreciated the honesty and the aggressive plan of attack. I was impressed that most of my 1 hour assessment time was actually devoted to treatment so I saw results right away. Hayley has me confidant that I will have full range of motion sooner rather than later, which is worth the minor short term discomfort. She also has the experience of viewing surgeries - including the bilateral TKR that I had done, so she literally knows what I went through. I'm a fan of Ace.

Great experience! I…read morewas specifically looking for somewhere that offered IMS (intramuscular stimulation) which is a type of dry needling. I'd had really good results with the technique previously and wanted to try it on my tight calves. A Facebook friend mentioned being treated here so I did a bit of investigating. They're really quick to answer emails and very helpful! It took a while to organise an appointment-a mixture of them being busy and me having to work. When we managed to coordinate schedules, it was really easy. I was allowed to book by email and got a time that suited me! The space is really lovely. It's all open in the centre with lots of light and shiny wood floors. Individual treatment rooms are off to the side which was really nice. Can't say I love going to physio and being in a row of beds as if it's an old style ward. I like my privacy! Especially when I'm paying for it. My reception was friendly and I was given the usual intake forms and then it was just a short wait before my physio arrived. I had Carl who was fabulous. Really friendly, very thorough and excellent clinically. He picked up on stuff without me telling him which is always a good sign. He also didn't just look at my calves-he was more holistic and system-based which I also liked. There were moments when I didn't completely love him (like when he was putting needles into my chronically tight muscles) but overall I have only praise for him! I particularly liked it that he didn't try to book me in for more sessions. It was left open-ended...I can go back if I need to. I don't like being stuck going back forever and ever. Rates are pretty standard I think. It's $110 for the first session which is stated to be 45 minutes. I think it was at least that if not slightly longer. Follow-ups are $60 for 20 minutes and $70 for 30 mins. I think most places are that expensive though. And I escaped with a one-off. Think my calves feel better. Despite disregarding all the post-procedure advice. Sorry Carl!

I had a pinched nerve in my neck and in few short sessions Dana has made a huge difference in my…read morewell being. At worst the nerve was compressed so bad that my left arm was completely numb at times and I was fearing that I may get permanent nerve damage. Dana assured me this is not a big problem and totally fixable and she was correct. After just 4 sessions, I feel like I've improved 80-90% from my initial condition. Earlier I was told elsewhere that my vertebrae in my neck has wear and tear and that the nerve is pinched between the two bones that are grinding. Dana disagreed with this diagnosis and told me that the pinching is caused by soft tissue around the vertebrae being too tight and that my spine seems fine - and she's absolutely right. By loosening up my muscles, I feel completely different already. I'm not familiar with physiotherapy as this is my first time requiring it but based on my experience I would highly recommend Adelaide Physiotherapy and Dana.

I went to Cornerstone physio for my tennis elbows on both arms and my physiotherapist Sean Gill was…read morejust the best.

He also taught me a lot of stretching and strengthening exercises that I routinely do now. Thank you Sean for being there on my healing journey :)

I have great praise for the thorough assessment process so that they ascertain as much history to determine appropriate treatment. Although the first time to this clinic, this is second time I have gone for therapy for my hand. This is second clinic because the other one had longer waiting period. Trafalgar Physiotherapy have used different methods and I was glad for variety to try to find something that worked. The therapist has been most attentive to finding why the healing has been taking longer than normal, and, in fact, through discussion each session, she determined what appears to be the cause and we have addressed the change. She is knowledgeable, patient and helpful to be sure what I am doing is done correctly. I definitely recommend this clinic.

I'm writing this review to clarify Peter's bodywork. I often see reviews for massage that say very…read morelittle to enlighten you and it's so subjective. Saying things like,"excellent massage" aren't helpful for clients looking for a specific type of work. I'll break Peter's work down into a few categories which are all of equal importance: KNOWLEDGE - Peter has an encyclopedic understanding of anatomy of the human body. He knows all the muscle (not just the main muscle groups) along with their origin and insertion points. Why does this help? Because you can work muscles along any of three points: origin, insertion and the muscle belly itself (as well as the fascial layers). With this knowledge and understanding of the location, you can work a particularly stubborn area a multitude of ways that are harder for therapists that don't have a good working knowledge of anatomy. Peter was also previously a personal trainer and is a current bodybuilding competitor so he knows the body from different perspectives: a normal person, an athlete, and a trainer. INTUITION - I am a massage therapist and it's rare to find another therapist who has Peter's level of intuition. This is obviously more subjective and harder to quantify (and likely something that's not even noticed by non-therapists). What I mean by this is his ability to listen/feel the muscle and to know precisely when to stay on it, when it's about to release and when to push through it. This is a skill that you either have or you don't. I have been to many massages where the therapist has zero intuitive sense of the body and they basically force their way through the muscles. This results in unnecessary additional soreness and doesn't help to relax the muscles. This makes his sessions less painful (compared to an un-intuitive therapist) and more effective. The body gives you clues when it's ready and Peter listens! PRESSURE - also a subjective area. Pressure, to me, is enough force to cause release of the adhesion. With an un-intuitive therapist so much force is used that I'm gritting my teeth, I've stopped breathing and I'm involuntarily contracting the exact muscle they are trying desperately to release (causing the therapist to use even more force to get it to release: result unnecessary soreness and likely the muscle never even fully released and still causes pain). I love deep tissue massage and I have a fairly high pain tolerance and I found that Peter was phenomenal about taking you right to that edge (where the pain building and could get very intense quickly but doesn't). If you listen to the body, it tells you exactly how much pressure is needed. I was recommended to Peter by my brother upon my visit to Canada. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had such a well rounded combination of skills, which makes him a PHENOMENAL bodyworker. I will be setting up a massage with Peter every time I visit my brother...or maybe I'll see my brother every time I come to visit Peter ;-).

The muscles in the leg atrophied significantly. I am 66 so this was going to be a difficult process starting with a knee splint and crutches. A friend recommended SEMI for the rehab. I met Melanie Gordon and she put together a program to get me going again. Amazingly, by mid-November the knee was basically back to its old flexibility and almost back to its full strength. It is such a relief for an active senior! Melanie regularly reviewed my progress, manipulated the knee and continually changed the exercise program based on my progress but also listening to my concerns. And a great cheerleader for those times when you feel like you are not progressing as fast as you would hope. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend SEMI and Melanie for any physical rehab program.

Got the cast off on November 7, allowed to walk more, up to 20,000 steps (before I was doing 35,000) and with further physio, I will continue to improve. I owe a lot to Dr Stoddard, Melanie Gordon, the wonderful front desk staff, Regina, Roxanne and Courtney who made ever visit wonderful. Thank you! I tell everyone who has ever been hurt to call!

It took a while to book my initial appointment, but it was worth it. All I want is to get my back cracked, I got that and more. In our first consultation, he checked my mobility and movement and assessed that I have a mild form of mechanical pain. He created a treatment plan of 5 sessions and included exercises that would help develop my core to prevent injury during sport/workouts and improve my posture. He went beyond that by providing a brief high-pressure targeted deep massage at the beginning of the first and each subsequent session. I wouldn't say it's relaxing, but I love the pressure. He'll adjust based on your tolerance though my motto is no pain, no gain, so I take it full on. We worked mainly on my upper, lower and mid-back. *TIP* If you want to work on your back, wear a tank top instead of a strappy sports bra. I've been working on those three exercises he taught me each day. I would say they are easy enough to add to your routine and incorporate daily. Oh and it's always wonderful when a clinic charges directly to my insurance, saves all the pain of admin work.
