Physiotherapy with Us
During the initial patient consultation and throughout treatment, our physiotherapists at My Toronto Physio work hard to understand the story, goals and needs of our patients.
Our experienced team will also conduct a thorough review of a patient’s history and available imaging and consultation reports.
One barrier that we have found over the years for patients coming to a new practitioner is the uncertainty of their experience and outcome. Rest assured, you will be treated with respect and dignity in all aspects of your care. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to provide answers.
Our initial assessment involves a thorough examination, as well as specialized physical tests and measures. Your physiotherapist will then analyze your condition(s) and establish a diagnosis. Your functional needs and abilities will also be taken into account so that your physiotherapist can create a treatment plan that aligns with your objectives and current condition.
Treatment at our Toronto facilities often involves a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and other appropriate treatment modalities such as laser, acupuncture, or shockwave therapy. We also provide our patients with extensive education regarding their injuries as well as a maintenance program to prevent future injuries.

Marshall was very helpful and professional and worked with me on a very painful knee injury. i began a few months ago barely able to bend it or walk up and down stairs and have improved greatly with his program. i am now able to run up and downstairs with no problems and am almost back to 100%. the receptionists are also accommodating and professional and were easily able to process insurance claims, answer questions, and reschedule appts when i was sick or something came up. i was very impressed by my experience here and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a new physio!

Went to the Pape and Danforth clinic for a massage with Robert. Customer service from initial onset was with Therese. Was very patient with me when it came to form filling and billing. Robert was also extremely good at working on my pain points and being thorough with his explanations. Overall great massage, experience and education!

Overall a great physio experience and would highly recommend to anyone!
