Reviews of PPA Therapy (Chiropractor)

Diana May

I am a 55 year old woman, who had breast cancer twice, in 2007 and in 2008. In 2008 I underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. I took a long time, (11 years!) to decide regarding reconstruction as the process seemed so overwhelming. During those 11 years, I experienced increased tightness across my chest, which pulled on my shoulders and neck. I went for regular massages, which helped a lot, but I found that the relief really didn’t last. Finally, I underwent reconstruction. I had two surgeries – a DIEP flap operation in 2018 and implants were added in 2019. My body has been through a lot! In addition to the tightness and pain in my chest, neck and shoulders, I developed some lymphedema in my arms and migraines. Finally, in the fall of 2019, I had my first appointment with Dr Gatto. He took a great deal of care to learn about my medical history, and to understand how the symptoms I was displaying developed over the years. He explained how the various parts of my body connect to one another. We worked through mobilization of my neck, arms, shoulders and chest. Dr Gatto included acupuncture with electrical stimulation, as well as cupping, in the areas that were most affected. Then, Dr Gatto performed chiropractic adjustments on my neck, back and shoulders. He also provided instructions on how to fully stretch my neck. I’ve had three appointments with Dr Gatto, and will continue to see him monthly. I cannot describe the relief my body feels since I’ve had the acupuncture, cupping and adjustments. I feel the relief from my head to my neck, chest and arms. If you’re going through treatment for breast cancer, and are struggling with tension as you heal from surgery, I recommend that you include chiropractic treatment in your plan. Thank you Dr Gatto!

Dr. Gatto is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled chiropractor. As a Rower I had chronic low back pain that was keeping me for training in the off season. After only a few sessions I am pain free and confident going into my competitive season.

Dr. Gatto is thorough and kind, and his holistic approach goes deeper than simply treating a symptom.

Our experience with Dr. Gatto has been outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, utilizing the most up-to-date treatments to get you back feeling like yourself. He has helped my son who has been dealing with low back, tight hips and feet issues during the baseball season. It has allowed him to keep playing. I would highly recommend Dr. Gatto for all your therapy needs.

Dr. Gatto is attuned, eager and committed to help find solutions to your health issues. As a professional athlete on the Team Canada, I’ve received treatment and support from many individuals. I appreciated his Sport background, and dual role as a peak performance trainer. I noticed that Dr. Gatto keeps his ear to the ground, keeping up to date on new methods, practices, and the work of other professionals in his field. Dr. Gatto treated with various modalities, including acupuncture stim, cupping, and spinal readjustments, along with various mobility and activation exercises. Highly recommend Dr. Gatto, he will work with you to understand and address your needs both as a chiropractor and a peak performance trainer.

Dr. Gatto is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the care he provides. I was experiencing severe hip pain for several weeks, and received acupuncture and cupping to relieve my pain. In just a few visits, my pain was gone and I was able to return to my normal gym routine without issue. Dr. Gatto took the time to understand my symptoms and explain the procedures he was implementing. He explained what could have caused the pain and suggested ways to avoid the injury in the future. It is very clear that Dr. Gatto stays up to date on current practices in his field and wants the best for his patients. I would strongly recommend Dr. Gatto to anyone either currently experiencing pain or seeking ongoing maintenance.

I have been to a lot of chiropractors and nobody compares Dr. Gatto. He really takes the time to understand the root problem and the treatments are tailored specifically to you. He really wants to make you better and optimize your health and performance. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

I would recommend Dr. Gatto to anyone in the guelph area. Very understanding and intelligent. He uses state-of-the-art treatment techniques and cares deeply about his patients getting better.

I visited Dr. Marcus after pulling my right hamstring in the late summer while training. He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of treatment options that helped me recover very quickly. But his treatment didn't stop there...he identified underlying hip mobility issues I had that were the root cause of my recurring hamstring injuries and provided me with hip mobility exercises to help. I haven't had a problem since!! If you are an athlete in Guelph, Dr. Marcus is your guy!

Mac James

Time and time again Dr. Gatto has provided me exceptional knowledge and service to "fix" my ailments and injuries. I say "fix" because even Dr. Gatto knows that an important part of fixing an injury is prevention, making sure it doesn't happen again. As a Strength and Conditioning Professional I go to Dr. Gatto for information on the root cause and we can work together on a solution to make sure it doesn't happen again. This is the type of treatment you need from a business you can trust.

Dr. Gatto has helped me with numerous injuries specifically baseball related with my shoulder and elbow. After a few sessions I was pain free and able to return to throwing. Dr. Gatto addressed the WHY behind my injury and treated that as well as my symptoms. I wish I saw him earlier. I cant recommend him enough to my family and friends.
