Client Reviews:

“I have been struggling with chronic back pain for the past 9 years. As anyone can imagine, I've tried everything in that time: massages, chiropractors, acupuncture, physiotherapy. Some of these treatments would relieve the pain temporarily, but the pain would always quickly come back. My last experience with physiotherapy was particularly disappointing: after completing a six-week treatment plan with no improvement, I was simply told that nothing could be done for me, and then sent to a doctor who was incredibly disrespectful, didn't believe me when I described the amount of pain I was in daily, and then did not follow up with me for the next appointment as he promised he would. But, before giving up, I decided to give it one last try… Ellie is everything I could ever ask of a physiotherapist. During the initial one-hour assessment, she was able to pinpoint exactly what the root issue of all my pain was.  She was very present and patient, I did not feel rushed or unheard or misunderstood. Everything she said made perfect sense with my history and experiences, and I felt that she was truly dedicated to addressing the cause rather than to covering up the symptoms. After the second session, I felt a huge improvement with my pain and mobility. Things that would hurt me on the daily (like getting things out of the fridge, washing my hair, petting my dogs) suddenly did not hurt anymore. Ellie managed to do more for me in two session than other professionals were able to do in months. I have now been seeing Ellie for a few months, and I continue to see huge improvements. She continues to amaze me with her ability to work on all my issues in tandem: rather than only fixing the issue that I came to her with and sending me on my way, she is methodically working through all of my problem areas in an organized way that will ensure a long-term result rather than a short-term relief. She always takes the time to explain why the problem is there in the first place, and what we need to do to fix it. She keeps careful track of my progress, which helps so much with motivation. If something doesn't work, she never gives up, instead always finding a new solution that will fit me. In addition to her amazing professional expertise, she is also very lovely and pleasant company :)”
