Reviews of Scotia Physiotherapy (Massage Therapist)

Sylvain Medina

Cynthia was able to isolate the issues contributing to my back pain and recommended exercises which worked very quickly to resolve the issue. She is a consummate professional and has a pleasant manner. The few sessions I had were informative and extremely helpful and my pain has significantly subsided.

I spent 6 months with Scotia Physio addressing long-term upper back pain. I saw Dr. Murphy on a recommendation from a friend, and she was a perfect fit. Dr. Murphy is incredibly helpful, knew exactly how to address how my body was hurting, and asked all the right questions whenever we followed up. My back is now strong and healthy and I am back to lifting kegs for work! Definitely would recommend this office for physiotherapy work. The office staff are also very kind and I loved coming for appointments.

My dentist recommended this place to me to treat my tinnitus. I know there is no cure (for now) but Jennifer and Sheena are helping me a lot with that. And you can tell that they really care about my issue. They try different things to help me with this ringing. I feel very comfortable with them.

Very professional and clear communication and effective treatment.

Scotia Physiotherapy is an excellent choice for rehabilitation. After falling on ice and injuring my shoulder, Cynthia was able to quickly and effectively rehabilitate my injury and get me back to the exercises and sports that I love. Their transition to telehealth during the pandemic made it easy for me to access treatment from home. I was glad I chose their services; should I ever need a physiotherapist again I won't hesitate to reach out.

This was my first experience with physiotherapy and it was a great. Dawn worked with me to rehabilitate my elbow following a radius fracture. I'm happy to say that after a few weeks of sessions I have fully regained my mobility. Dawn also assessed my neck following a concussion which was a great comfort as well. Would definitely recommend this place and especially Dawn for friendly and efficient help in your recovery!

Danielle Worth

The experience was great from the moment I walked in the door. All staff I had contact with were polite, respectful and efficient. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Made me feel comfortable and Jenn was engaged the whole time I was there. She was very good at adhering to the public health guidelines during this pandemic. Definitely recommend.

I've been seeing Jennifer Wade for a few years now to help with my jaw issues and she is amazing. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and so understanding. I would highly recommend her!

Matthew Robinson

Always excellent professional service

I had the pleasure of seeing Jennifer over the last year - mainly to work through my TMJ. Jennifer is very knowledgeable, personable and somehow makes someone else poking and prodding inside your myself as comfortable as possible. The progress made with my TMJ was tremendous and with the tools Jennifer has taught me, I imagine it will be a lot more manageable overall. I would highly recommend. All the front desk people are super lovely as well. One suggestion would be to book an earlier appointment in the day, sometimes you have to wait a bit.

Alison Beaton is an absolutely amazing physiotherapist! She is thorough, attentive and encouraging. Her interpersonal skills always makes me feel very relaxed for the duration of my treatments. Today was bitter/sweet as today marked the conclusion of my regular appointments. Despite that she provided me with advice to keep me motivated to maintain behaviour conducive to remain pain free. I highly recommend Alison Beaton and Scotia Physiotherapy to anyone needing treatment.

After a few close friends highly recommended Alison for sports injuries, I made the journey from Pictou County to seek help. I have had ongoing knee issues racing as a cyclist and triathlete, with no luck from various Physio practices. Alison is very thorough, and knowledgeable. She diagnosed my issue, and provided me with a plan of attack. Within days my issues were improving, which allowed me to prepare much more effectively for my upcoming races. I had a great experience with Alison, highly recommend her to everyone, and will be seeing her periodically to stay healthy and injury free!

Cynthia is always really thorough and thoughtful in her assessments and treatment plans. She really listens, and is super willing to talk through exercise modifications, and answer any questions I have. I've made great progress under her guidance! My friends have also had great experiences with other PTs at this location!

Alex Joy

Jennifer is so knowledgeable. it was a great experience on the first appointment. the way she analyze the case is really impressive.

matthew benoit

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I came in hopping on one foot (knee problem) and came out walking normally again. Dawn certainly knows her stuff and how to get the old Meniscus back into place. I would recommend this clinic to anyone having joint/muscle problems. Also there's a bowl of Werther's Originals at the front counter which makes the experience a little sweeter :)

Gavin Fridell

I had a fantastic experience with Dawn Hanifen. Highly recommended!

Andy Lilly

This place is great! I've been seeing Jennifer Wade consistently before and after my ACL surgery and she has been extremely helpful to me.

Jennifer Fougère

Alison is great.

Paul Childs

Allison is great. I can't remember the name of the receptionist but she is very friendly and efficient. I also really like the appointment system. Lots of reminders.

Joyce Ledwidge

I have been a client of Scotia Physio for many years. They have helped me keep moving and active, despite chronic back injury, muscle imbalance and the occasional acute injury ie broken wrist! I am able to do the things I love - run, hike and play with my dogs in agility. Recently Alison and Cynthia have helped me become pain free in running for the first time in years! They are practical, realistic, understanding in addition to being great evidence based practitioners! I feel like part of the family! The office staff are great too- I always feel welcome and cared about. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who wants a caring, holistic approach to physio. To say you are not just a number here is an understatement!

Jennifer Fischer

Alison was fantastic. She was so thorough and sent me home with an excellent plan to help me rehab. I look forward to future visits and getting the help I need. Thanks!

MJ Seager

Staff are quick and friendly.

Cory Mackinnon

Alison is amazing. She diagnosed me very quickly and gave me treatments that allowed me to avoid shoulder surgery. She has also helped me and many of my triathlon friends avoid injury. There is a group of us that live in Pictou County but travel to see her in Halifax because she is the best!!

Mary-Alma Bateman

Cynthia at Scotia Physiotherapy is amazing! I call her a white witch, she's so good. She diagnosed me almost immediately in the first session (based off of weird symptoms that I couldn't really pin down) and gave me some great exercises that eradicated the problem within a couple of weeks. I was losing sleep over it (literally couldn't sleep on one side), and now there's no problem. When it does crop up again, I do the exercises that she gave me and the symptoms drift away. She's cool as a cucumber, friendly, professional and laughs at my bad jokes. Always a plus. She truly knows her stuff. Office staff are always great as well.

Lady at the front desk was very difficult to deal with

I went here for physiotherapy and i had Allison as my physiotherapist. She is very informant, she really knows what she is dealing with.

R vo

Super professional yet personable, she did a through assessment and was able to identify the problem area. Provided a good treatment plan with some things I can do at home to speed the healing.

Lindsey MCDONNELL

Highly recommend! Telehealth appointments have been amazing for keeping up with my Physiotherapy during the pandemic. Alison is amazing at her profession. You can’t go wrong with Scotia Physiotherapy!

Pictou County Cycle

Great experience!!! I had a problem no one could seam to fix. After a few appointments with Alison I was fixed in no time. I would higly recommend Scotia Physiotheapy to anyone.

Brie Yee

A wonderful clinic, staff is so friendly and kind. Micheal Monks is an incredible physiotherapist, very caring and really goes above and beyond to help his patients.

Alana MacKinnon

Alison is nothing short of excellent. I experienced various complications after childbirth and when I went to see Alison she gave me hope that I would be able to run again. Fast forward two years later and I am now part of the local track team and cross country team. This would not have happened without Alison. Alison is an expert, she is professional and brilliant. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to have access to a physiotherapist of her caliber in Nova Scotia. My family has travelled from Cape Breton just to be assessed by Alison. With a background as a physiotherapist for the Cirque du Soleil and physiotherapist for the Canadian Olympics I feel incredibly lucky to have her as my physiotherapist.

I’ve going there for years and have always gotten great service. All staff know their stuff!
