Jessica Lorrain

If you're looking for a physiotherapist that genuinely cares about their patients, who will go above and beyond, and someone that will work hard alongside you to get results, then Shawn is your guy. He will take time to explain the benefits of each exercise and ensure that you’re executing them properly to achieve maximum results for long-term relief. I highly recommend!!

Dominador Ibanez

Shawn is a very friendly and intuitive PT. He takes his time and really tries to relate with the patient when it comes to treatment. I highly recommend going to Health Within.

Cody Taylor

Shawn has showed me the ropes to a healthier life style when it comes to my mobility. I was extremely tight from all my long distance runs, I thought I had knee problems because of it. Thanks again man, I will definitely be seeing you from now on! Cody

KayClifford

One word... EXCEPTIONAL! As active as I was, back pain and a pesky nerve pain was no joke and downright depressing! Shawn, my physiotherapist has helped me tremendously!He was very thorough on our initial appointment and has diagnosed me with a bulging disc. He was professional, knowledgeable and puts you at ease. I definitely recommend Shawn’s services to any one. THANK YOU for helping me recover from my back injury!

Brigitte Dubé

After giving birth, I had problems with my upper and lower back. Shawn was awesome to work with, very friendly and professional. The exercises he recommended were not too demanding (time wise), but challenging enough to solve my back issues. I highly recommend Shawn because he will work hard with you to solve any problems you may be having,

Catherina Blair

Highly knowledgeable, very friendly, Shawn exercise treatment plan has tremendously helped me with not only reducing my knee pain but helped me with my mobility. Highly recommend him!

Jennifer Cardinal

I would strongly recommend Shawn as a Physiotherapist. He is professional, friendly and experienced when providing care and treatment plans to patients. I’ve received excellent service during this last year, he explains everything he is doing during the treatment sessions, he provides exercises and treatment plans that can be done at home between appointments and he is always available for follow-up questions or appointments as needed. Shawn listens to your concerns provides information and treatments which are specific to your individual needs and comfort level. My experience and the care received while in recovery from my back injury has been nothing but exceptional.

Verbina Gonsalves

Shawn is an excellent physiotherapist who cares about his patient's wellbeing. He diagnoses the problem and treats it in a knowledgeable and caring manner. After only a few treatments, my back pain was significantly reduced. My husband was also treated by Shawn for weakness and pain in his ankle and has seen a marked improvement. I highly recommend him to anyone who suffers with pain like we do. Thanks Shawn

Francine DePass

I had a vertigo condition "Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) for over 1 1/2 month and Shawn was able to repositioning my situation soon after a 3rd treatment. What a relief it was...I highly recommend him! Thank you Shawn, much appreciated! Happy New Year!!

Justin Yee

Shawn has been a close friend and training mentor where he has helped me overcome injuries I’ve had over the years. His attention to detail and personalized training regimens is what makes him such a great physiotherapist and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for treatment for injuries and strength training.

Kaitlyn Desgroseilliers

I highly recommend Shawn as a physiotherapist. I started seeing Shawn in the summer of 2020 for my knee and he has helped me build the strength and confidence to return to sports after a full knee reconstruction. Shawn provides a professional, caring and safe environment every time I show up for an appointment. His kindness, knowledge and willingness to take the time to sit and explain all recovery exercises/stretches during an appointment makes him one of a kind! If you're feeling worried about finding someone new or taking the first step in physiotherapy, give Shawn a call.. you won't regret it!

Ron Chenier

If you're you're looking for an accurate diagnosis to what's causing your pain and a solution to getting you pain free again... your search is over! Shawn is a bright young rising star in the growing professional physiotherapist industry. He'll have your best interest and results at heart. He's extremely knowledgeable, sincere, compassionate, respectful and always on time... he realigned and coached me back to pain free running ultra marathons again at 64... thanks again Shawn ????

Elizabeth McGrimmon

I was extremely pleased to be a patient of Sean's. He is a caring dedicated professional who helped me regain mobility in my shoulder and arm and gave me continuing exercises to keep me on track and help me heal. I would recommend him to anyone in need of physio services.

Steven Mellios

Another great experience with Shawn. After years of visiting different specialists to help gain mobility in my neck after a herniated disc. Shawn has been the only professional to help me get back into the physical condition I thought I had lost for good. I've grown to understand the true drive this individual has in helping people with each visit. When it comes to my health, trust is crucial and that is exactly what I have in Shawn. Thanks Shawn!

Kristyn Denneny

I went to Shawn a few months ago for chronic back pain. I've had back pain for as long as I can remember and I've seeked treatment by other physio therapists before. The difference with Shawn was that he paid attention, cared, and adjusted based on my progress, pain and comfortability. I can tell that he actually takes the time to take the way my body is reacting into consideration because he goes into deep thought during our sessions to make sure I am getting the full benefit. This week I helped some friends move into their house. I was hesitant because I was sure my back would spasm and if be basically incapable of moving for days. Even though my lower back did hurt while moving, I WOKE UP PERFECTLY FINE. I cannot tell you the relief. I would recommend Shawn to ANYONE who is dealing with any kind of body pain.

Karine St-Jean

Shawn is a very good physiotherapist! I had a very speedy recovery after breaking my elbow thanks to his patience and knowledge!

Chris Blanchette

Excellent service. Friendly, informative and effective. Walked in there with pinched nerves in my neck causing shoulder and arm problems and lower back issues. Shawn got me back on track with a few sessions and excercises to do at home. Combo'ed up with chiro adjustments with Chris and now feeling great and normal again. Thanks guys!!

Alexander Bourget

Shawn is the man! Very articulate with his explanations. His exercises are great and really helps with your weak spots in your posture. Also keeps a clean environment. I highly recommend going to see him.

jenessa damours

I have been dealing with chronic pain for what feels like most of my life. I never thought that I would get better, but then Shawn literally changed my life! For the first time in years I can touch the ground and put on my own socks pain free. He is very welcoming and does amazing work! I couldn’t be more happy with my experience working with Shawn!

Lynn Montroy

Shawn is very professional and an excellent experience.

Jody Legros

Shawn Fontaine, was referred to me by Dr. Fullarton. I would have started with Shawn’s fantastic services years ago. His treatments include physio therapy and shock wave. Shawn services and treatments are what gets me through my week. He treats me at least 1 to 3x a week and if I could I would be treated everyday. He is the best Physiotherapist I have had work on me. I highly recommend him which I have to many people.

Kristel Mersereau

Very professional, well spoken individual who truely loves what he does for a living. He has helped me with my shoulders that had tendonitis in both and was very painful and now are now back to normal. I highly recommend Shawn for anyone who requires a physiotherapist.

Shane mo Filion

Lucy Hill

Best physio experience ever!!! After receiving my first concussion after a bad tubbing accident, I had no idea I was even concussed until seeing Shawn at work and casually explaining some of the symptoms I was experiencing. Shawn was prompt to suggest these may be signs of something more serious and got me in quickly for an evaluation. Shawn was very thorough with his assessments, gently approached every plan of action and gave the perfect exercises to work on between our sessions. I honestly don’t think I would have recovered as quickly as I have without Shawn’s knowledgable skillset and stepping me in the right direction for a full recovery. With continuous learning and improving the tools he makes available for assessing his clientele, I would most definitely recommend Shawn for any post-concussion symptoms or physiotherapy needs!

David Wood

Attended the clinic with a locked neck and shoulder with restricted movement. Was treated by Dr. Fullarton and referred to Shawn Fontaine for physiotherapy. I Was treated with the utmost professionalism and regard for my injuries. After a few sessions and some prescribed exercises I was feeling much better and regained full motion without pain. I Highly recommend the clinic for patient friendly approach and effective treatment.

MP Bez

Excellent personal service. Shawn has great knowledge of mobility and recovery exercises that really helped me through my injury! Would highly recommend Shawn to anyone dealing with minor, or major, injuries or mobility constraints, as he will get you back to your full potential in no time!

Belle Brunet

I came to health within because of lower back pain that was going into my leg and foot, after a few session with Chris he referred me to Shawn. After one month of seeing Shawn twice a week and following his exercises and instructions very carefully I can now say that my back pain is resolved. I highly recommend Shawn as he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Never did I feel uncomfortable with Shawn.

Stephen Lacombe

All of the staff is amazing! First saw Chris and went over to Shawn due to my insurance. Just after 1st appointment I noticed huge improvement thanks to some simple exercises. After 3 visits I already feel 10 years younger with my back and only need to see again if new problems occur. Also price is amazing, if I didn’t have insurance I still would have went after finding out the pricing. Strongly suggest anyone who is suffering from minor to major pain to visit here!

Brenda Petersen

I highly recommend Shawn - I'm a senior who has had a total knee replacement "TKR" with not very good results. After three months I went to Shawn as nothing else was working. Shawn was very thorough and showed me some less intrusive exercises in an effort to increase my ROM as well we tried 3 rounds of shock therapy and 6 rounds of laser therapy with little results. However, I can say that I will be returning if I choose to have my second surgery for severe post-traumatic knee stiffness to remove scar tissue, adhesion's and manipulations. I believe that Shawn will be able to set me up with a program to speed up the healing process.

Christopher Jodoin

Excellent experience with Shawn getting my daughters ankle back to 100%. Followed up with her weekly to start, and gave her the motivation to reach her goal. The only physiotherapist in town for my family.

Cortney Herrington

After a sports injury that required shoulder surgery on my dominant arm I was terrified about regaining my full range of motion. I bit the bullet, despite knowing how painful it was going to be, and booked in with Shawn as soon as I was able to start physio. Thanks to Shawn’s vast knowledge, patience and unwavering dedication to my recovery my life is back to normal less than 6 months after surgery. His exercise plans were on point, easy to follow and exactly what I needed. No words can express how thankful I am to have had him on my team during a difficult process. I have recommended him to numerous people and will continue to do so.

Tyson Chadwick

Professional, very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Michel Brisson

Blake Gareau

Very thorough and welcoming. Shawn provided me with top quality physiotherapy which helped alleviate my symptoms from an injury that I sustained to my ankle. Shawn took his time to address the injury through multiple assessments, and also addressed any concerns that I had with knowledge and honesty. Shawn’s skillset is a huge asset for anyone who is looking to feel better and/or is recovering from an injury. Highly recommend.

CM

Shawn is a fantastic physiotherapist. His service is worth your time and money. I have always felt comfortable with Shawn. He has never made me feel self-conscious. Most importantly, he has shown me kindness and patience while helping me manage a number of issues. He takes courses to stay up-to-date with the most current evidence-based research. He gave me exercises that helped with my chronic pain issues instantly! His approach is flexible to meet my health care needs. If anyone needs to see a physiotherapist, I give them Shawn's info.

Chris Seguin

I began my recovery with Shawn Fontaine in December 2019. I had a knee injury. Shawn was able to pin point the location of the injury. Shawn did a shock wave treatment on the injured area. Shawn took his time and listen to everything i had to say, which was nice. Shawn showed and demonstrated some exercises for me to help rebuild the muscle around me knee. Shawn made sure i was comfortable doing these exercises. He was able to send the exercises either to my email, txt message, or print me a hard copy. Everything was very convenient. All in all the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming and I recommend Shawn Fontaine.

Sandra Legue

Recently had shoulder surgery have been seeing chris for adjustments, then started a slow process of physio with shawn he has been patient with me at beginning not so great but as weeks got to months arm and shoulder moving so much better, am now finally getting 5 lb weight up with all the stretching and strengthening he has been doing with me. He is a fantastic physiotherapist if you have any problems I would recommend him to anyone.

Sebastien Boucher

I had constant back pain. It felt like my lower back vertebrae were grinding against each other. The pain dropped me to one knee at times. After about a half hour into the initial visit, he found the culprit. Shawn troubleshot my body’s flexibility and range of motion noticing a ligament tightness in one leg which made my other side compensate. He put me on an exercise regime for eight weeks, increasing exercise difficult weekly and bi-weekly which slowly built up all the muscles around my lower back. This in conjunction with the orthodics I purchased through Health Within solved my problem. He is a personal trainer that treated me like a doctor should. He took care of me and built me back up.

Natasha Pilon

I’ve been seeing Shawn for only a few months and I’m very satisfied with the level of service provided to me. I had a car accident over a year ago and was still experiencing pain. Shawn’s expertise ensured effective assessments and a successful treatment plan which helped me to a full recovery. He’s attentive, very friendly, always smiling and very professional. I highly recommend him for any of your physiotherapy needs. Best.Physio.Ever!

William Douglas

I have been receiving treatment from Shawn for over 6 months now and have been extremely impressed. After having severe lower back problems for over 5 years now I felt like I was running out of options. Shawn told me that I would see results within just 6 weeks of starting and he was not wrong. I would strongly recommend Shawn to anyone seeking Physio Therapy, it is well worth the time.

Alexandra Blair

I would strongly recommend Shawn as a Physiotherapist. He is nothing but professional and friendly.

He did a great job of thinking outside the box and not jumping to conclusions all the while being very professional and personable. Highly recommend seeing Shawn your Physiotherapy needs! You won’t be disappointed.

danny sinagra

Excellent service! The staff are very friendly, kind and professional. Started seeing Dr. Chris for neck and back pain on a regular basis and now only on a monthly basis. After re-injuring my back, Dr. Chris recommended Dr. Shawn for physiotherapy! After a few sessions with Dr. Shawn, I feel much better and back pain has subsided. He has put me on a simple muscle strengthening exercise program that I can do at home which has been great for my recovery, and I was able to get back to work! I would highly recommend Dr. Shawn and Dr. Chris, they are both fantastic and work very well together. I will continue seeing them both as needed! Thanks again for the great work guys!

Bryce Bourgeois

Shawn knows what he is doing and has helped me regain confidence in my shoulder ????

Marc

Shawn has been really helpful and I am gratefully and appreciative with all the help that he has given me during my recovery process from my injury.

Steve Dovas

I've seen a few physiotherapist the last few years for my knee. Shawn approached my issue differently than the others. We are working from the ankle up and the improvements are huge. Always see him educating himself when he has a few min between clients. Fantastic experience and HIGHLY recommended!

Karli Shore

Shawn is extremely professional and very friendly. His wealth of knowledge regarding different techniques to heal the body is very commendable. Shawn’s training area is cozy and inviting. I would highly recommend Shawn should you need a physiotherapist.
