Reviews of Concept of Movement Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

Anabela Schoblocher

Dax Patel was great to work with. He explained everything and made me feel very at ease with my treatment. I was quickly brought back to a healed state. Thanks so much.

Stephen Campbell

I decided to go with Concept after a bit of research, for a physiotherapist in town. I read the Reviews. Judging by the comments and feedback you could tell the trend was positive. Dax worked with me to recover from a very painful knee and shoulder issue. He is very detailed with his explanation and physiotherapy practice. This guy cares! I followed his exercise plan and kept up with my appointments and voila, I'm fixed :) Amanda worked with me on strength and conditioning. She too was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. The facility is bright well kept and clean. I definitely recommend. Thank you!

Andrea Hebner

Tom helped me with an injury a few years go, very knowledgeable and helpful. I am seeing Waleed now for another injury. I love his style, he is skilled and caring. Front desk staff always kind and easy to talk to. Thank you guys!

Brandon Carlson

Great facility and awesome staff!

Don McAskin

Bruce can figure out direct causes of pain and indirect causes. This takes experience and knowledge, I can recommend Bruce for sure.

Ali Houston

The entire staff was professional, friendly and diligent on getting me back to my best with a tailored treatment plan. Not only did they get me back to pain free function, they got to the root cause of my symptoms. I would recommend COM to anyone.

Camaleao Sul da Bahia

Amazing staff and amazing service. The team works so well together and it's refreshing to see the novel approaches to recovery that they use. I have always been very well taken care of for every issue that I have seen them for and their exercises have worked marvelously. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone dealing with injuries or pain.

Jesse Sisson

Jenn is the best RMT around! I only go to her and always feel better after I do. She’s knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly great at her job.

\/ibestr

I never give out 5-star reviews because I don't believe in perfection, but this place is very close to 5 stars. They've upped the standards on what it means to be a physiotherapy clinic. Every person I've met is knowledgeable and well informed about biomechanics. The therapists and coaches are very observative and brought to my attention things I've taken for granted. I'm so grateful to have found such a clinic. I just want to thank Dustin as well as the movement coaches, Jason and Amanda, for their assistance in helping me better perform my lifts.

Shannon Ambeau

Highly recommend for recreational athletes who get injured pushing themselves too hard. Clean facility, they have solid COVID protocols, thorough initial assessment and clear treatment strategy. They book adequate time and don't rush. You get their full attention. They email exercises so it's easy to do them. Tom's philosophy is in solving the root cause of the symptoms. I love this! He wants to work himself out of a job by teaching me (exercises, posture, etc) so the pain is alleviated for good and if it comes back, I know how to deal with it. He's an expert. He trains elite athletes (NHL players, elite amateurs) so well equipped to help me with my recreational injuries.

Johnny Mizzoni

Jenn at Concept of Movement is simply awesome! I walk into that place every 2-3 weeks feeling like an old man, and I leave an hour later feeling younger. Thanks for the continued help!

Susan Laycock

Great team and facilities

Brent Miller

I give 3 stars based off reputation and the fact they were able to refer me to Quarry Ridge who handles my physiotherapy. I would have loved to go here but my injury is wsib related and they do not accomadate wsib related injuries here. But other than not being able to work with someone who is on wsib, I have heard nothing but good things about Concept of Movement.

tmo !

Wonderful clinic and nice people!!

Caitlin Hopkins

I 100% would recommend this clinic to any of my family or friends. professionals , and super friendly staff. i feel better after every visit! thank you !

Cabana Donohue

This is a great clinic in Barrie, the admin staff is awesome! The therapists are knowledgeable and all around a great place!

Donna Jerry

This is my first time to this physiotherapy/rehab clinic and I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very professional, clean facility. Front desk staff are friendly and accommodating. My physiotherapist, Joyce Wong was highly recommended to me because of her knowledge of working with clients with lymphadema and I have to say she is excellent. I left my first visit already feeling much better and I continue to improve weekly. I would highly recommend Joyce, her compassion, ability and great work ethic make her a wonderful therapist.

Jessica Hope

Love this clinic! The staff there are absolutely amazing!! Especially Steph with her beautiful energy! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lauren Jenkinson

Great clinic which was recommended to me by a friend. My physio Dax was great to customize my program with my preferences in mind (less passive modality, more home exercise) and we were able to see big improvement in just a few weeks. This was great since I don't have benefits and was paying out of pocket

Craig Strachan

Can’t say enough about the great team at Concepts of Movement. I came to them with a disk injury and am happy to say I left today with a movement program to follow but no further visits booked at this time. It was a long road to recovery but felt I received just right level of care starting with high frequency appointments working down to monthly checkups. My physical therapist Natalie was super knowledgeable but also able to translate things it to terms I could easily understand. The mix of hands on therapy with easy to follow movement exercises for home was the key to my recovery. I hope I don’t need visit again but wouldn’t think twice about where to go or who to recommend when it comes to physiotherapy.

Atwell Music

The Team at Concept of Movement helped me navigate through a serious shoulder injury I incurred when snowboarding (and ignored for 8 months) that was causing pain and was a major imbalance in my body movement. The treatments they prescribed and the exercises they provided were very effective and in a short time the pain went away and my body mobility improved. Thank you Concept of Movement.

Curt Duncan

I've had knee and hip issues for most of my life, and the best physical therapy I've had after multiple surgeries has been at Concept of Movement. Nat was great at helping me to identify and correct a number of issues that were significantly impeding my quality of life. She was great, and pleasant even in otherwise uncomfortable situations. A huge thank you to Nat, and all the staff at Concept of Movement Barrie!

Scott Beacom

I've had the pleasure of working with 3 of the team at COM. I had Tom for my first assessment and physio work and I can honestly say I learned more about my body in that 1 hour than i ever had before in my life. I then had 3 gym sessions with Kevin who is highly knowledgable, explained each movement and how and why we were doing it very well and I definitely left with a solid burn going on. Finally I've had the majority of my physio work booked in with Bruce. He's super knowledgable and explains what he's doing and why and every time i'm in 3 works to show instant results to help with my pain. The home work outs given by all 3 of the team have ended up giving me a full home workout that has really helped strengthen the weaker areas of body and helped improved my overall balance and strength. I'd highly recommend travelling to see them too, I drive 35 mins every week to see them and its 100% worth the time and effort I've noticed more improvement with COM in 6 weeks than I did with 12 months of another physio.

Cynthia Townsend

I have seen Joyce for a couple months for a back injury that had been bugging me for a month. She was amazing! She did acupuncture, tissue massage, as well as other things, then gave me exercises to do. She was very kind. I'm going to miss going but I feel much better and no longer need her services.

Brandon Happeney

Concept of Movement came recommended from multiple sources and it did not disappoint! Refreshing to have a Physiotherapist and Movement Therapist that give me the same attention as they would give their family. …

Becca Highet

Concept of Movement staff was amazing and incredibly helpful for all of my needs! Dan worked closely with me to solve my issues. He listened carefully to my problems and worked hard to develop a unique plan and set goals to treat me. I am so pleased with their service and will continue to go back as problems arise!

jack1832 jack1832

I went to see Natalie with a nagging pain in my elbow that had slowly gotten worse over the course of a few months. Natalie was very helpful with diagnosing the problem and working with me on a multi pronged treatment involving needles, massage and exercises to do at home. It took some time and multiple visits but the injury has slowly been healing. Natalie really knows her stuff and I would happily recommend her to anyone who has injuries that require rehabilitation. Thanks Natalie. Rob McGibbon

Susan Michaud

Nikki is an awesome RMT - friendly, knowledgeable and thorough!!! Dax is also an awesome physiotherapist - he's welcoming, kind and explains the process!!! Overall, all the interactions I've had at COMphysio have been positive!!

justin lovell

Awesome team over there!

John LaMarre

Staff at Concept of Movement were professional and very helpful in enabling me to resolve a condition that required physiotherapy. Thank you all and especially to Bruce Martens.

Peter Brouwer

The best in the business! Amazing staff who care! Natalie and the team at COM are outstanding and truly care about their patients. Recommend COM to anyone who is looking for the best physio!

Ashley Hicks

Really knowledgeable and friendly staff. I highly recommend them. Great experience with physio and massage!

Derek Meloche (Derek_for_Reel Outdoors)

I visited the clinic to address what I thought was issues of a bulged disc - however with a proper evaluation from Nathalie on my initial visit I became aware of the driving factors of my pains and discomforts. Working to a detailed plan of treatments and time in the gym I have not only felt much better, but also have a better understanding of my body and how it really works. I would highly recommend the team at Concept of movement and encourage you to visit for an assessment for symptoms you may be challenged with. Thank You Nathalie, Bruce and Amanda for your continued support and treatments.

Julia Gwiazda

Best physio place I have attended so far! I have been going to the team at COMphysio for over a year. The front desk staff are always accommodating, flexible and welcoming. My physiotherapist, Daniel has been nothing short of amazing. He really knows his stuff and determined to making you feel your best! Overall, COMphysio has improved the quality of my life and keeps me motivated to stay on the right track throughout these tough times!

Adrienne RN

I began physio treatments at Concept of Movement almost a year ago. I had been having ongoing nerve pain and decreased mobility from a history of stenosis and advanced arthritis of the spine with a surgical history of 2 lumbar spinal fusions and 2 cervical spinal fusions. I also was suffering from a small meniscal tear in my left knee that has a history of 3 previous arthroscopies. My goal being to avoid any more surgeries in the future, increasing my strength and mobility as well as allowing me to get continue to be active, power walking, down hill skiing , golfing and traveling. Because of Natalie, Sasha, PEMF and me following their treatment plan, the arthroscopy that had been scheduled has now been cancelled. My neck pain has decreased and my mobility improved. The whole atmosphere at COM is friendly and personable and it’s a team effort to achieve a clients goals . The facility is clean and well equipped and is a very caring, inclusive environment. I highly recommend COM and Natalie. I’m very grateful to be benefiting from her knowledge and expertise!

Mark Olech

Very knowledgeable staff that tries to find the root of your issues and fix them, rather than just treating the symptoms as other places do. Facilities have tons of different equipment for gym sessions.

Naga Alapati

Love this place . Thomas.S was wonderful . He took his time for my assessment and diagnosis . Thank you

Tessa W

I had a great experience working with the team at COM. With their guidance and encouragement, I got results quickly that improved my stability and strength.

Alison Oakes

Staff and everyone I have come into contact with at Concept of Movement have been nothing but helpful, kind, and accommodating. Always a welcome space no matter my needs. I've been a patient with them for multiple years and am happy to continue seeing them on a monthly basis.

DGJ Designed Solutions

The best clinic around. Love all the staff so professional and highly skilled. Would recommend anyone to go the concept of movement team!

Lindsey Pitcher

Awesome staff, very knowledgeable phyiso, massage and gym staff. Amazing kind and friendly front staff all so helpful ????. I’ll only go there

Christine Allenby

Have been working with Dan Zackodnik all summer, he has been great and has worked with me to develop a realistic plan to continue my progress between appointments. Would highly recommend him and the team at COM.

Donna Palmer

Highly recommend

Thomas Bristow

I would describe my self as a 'casual athlete' playing a few different sports for fun during my 9-5 job. I first went to Concept of Movement after I broke my ankle in hockey. They helped me get back to my active lifestyle with physiotherapy, acupuncture treatments and strength training. Above all of that they worked with me teaching me proper techniques and exercises that I can use during my own workouts. I was able to return to my casual athletic life with confidence that I was healthy and not going to reinjure myself. The staff there provide excellent service and professionalism and I would highly recommend Concept of Movement to anyone who asks me.

Nicole Dalcourt

Bruce is, hands down, one of the best physiotherapists around. He's helped me immensely, both in understanding my body, and helping me to move it properly.

Ramona Mitchell

I am reluctant to trust physiotherapists due to a negative experience I had in the past. I was being treated for a cervical disc herniation, which ultimately led to a cervical fusion. I felt that some of the progression exercises I was carrying out exasperated my condition. Now, I am hypervigilant and will only partner with a physiotherapist that has superlative assessment and treatment skills. I trust Bruce 100% and also get good results. Thanks Bruce for helping me get my movement back.

Kate Q

Such a friendly and approachable team that make you feel comfortable, even when you might not be. Highly recommend working in the gym with Kevin!

Gord Nye

Friendly and professional service that walks that balance between pushing that envelope enough to promote your wellness and yet sensitive to your limits. I’ve enjoyed better physical wellness from their help.

Chris Brown

Can’t say enough about the COMphysio team! Dustin Ng, along with the trainers in the gym, were able to diagnose, treat and strengthen my knee after I tore my MCL. I’m now back to work and sports feeling more confident and better than ever!

Marc Hill

Masters at work in this converted garage that will get you moving again.

Amanda Racicot

Great experience. Super knowledgeable and helped me with every issue I had.

Carptarts

Very impressed with the combination of professionalism, empathy and multiple vectors of treatment. Not only is the goal to restore/heal whatever issue you have, it is also to educate you on how to not become injured again, if possible. Having said that, you will be treated as a human being with an injury, not as an injury to a human being. As an aside, the facility is immaculate, easy to find and parking is ample. Cannot recommend more highly.

L Q

lovely staff, highly skilled therapists and stellar facility

Danielle

I have been going to Concept of Movement/COMphysio now for the past 6 months for a variety of ailments and could not be happier. The team is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Their coordinated approach makes treatment (from physio, to training and massage) more streamlined and efficient while giving me the best possible treatment plan and outcomes. Not only have my injuries been addressed, but I am stronger and feel healthier now then I have in years. Whether you are recovering from an injury or looking to improve any aspect of your physical health I would highly recommend giving them a visit!

Nina Koniuch

TOM ROCKS!

Jason Kinnear

Thank you Concept of Movement and my PT! Natalie has helped me recover from a nagging knee issue, by finding and correcting the cause. She has helped me recover from a dislocated shoulder, from a bike crash while training. It’s a good as ever in far less time than I thought. She continues to keep my muscle development balanced, to ensure peak performance in my training and racing. She has/is helping my middle son recover from a concussion, and helping my oldest develop strength properly and balanced to excel in his sports. I can’t imagine my training, my son’s recovery, or my other son’s development without the support from Natalie (my amazing PT) and Concept of Movement.

Kristin Larsen

I highly recommend making an appointment at Concept of Movement for physical therapy or sports movement improvement. Have visited on numerous occasions with various injuries to back, shoulder, arm, leg. They took the time to explain what the root cause was and gave me an understanding of how to avoid such issues in the future while prescribing effective exercises, stretches and treatments. I am very grateful to have found Concept of Movement as they have not only helped fix my issues, but helped to make my body stronger and resistant to the same injuries in the process. From the moment I walk in the door, to the moment I leave, it is such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Thanks to all the Concept of Movement staff for great customer service and exceptional results. Because of these great experiences, I am a life long client.

John Peslar

Best physio in Barrie! Lisa is an amazing physio helped me recover, Chris is the best strength coach and Steph at the front is super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

Barb Weir

I met with Joyce, who was very friendly and knowledgeable and who specializes in lymphedema therapy. She was thorough in her evaluation and explanations of the physiology and treatment for the condition. She also called me the next day to make sure that I understood the emailed directions she had given me for my home care exercises to be done in addition to her clinical treatments. I was very impressed with her!

Tracy R

I have been seeing Tom and the team for several years. The team not only provides treatment on site, but provides at home movements, and activities to help in restoring me back to my activities. I have gained knowledge and understanding to help myself gain back mobility and strength after injury, and to keep myself injury free during my many activities.

Czapski Business Group

I've been coming to this clinic for years. It far surpasses any in the area. The expertise and wide range of knowledge is incredible. Everytime I see Tom I learn something new and with him it's an all in one service. He can test my body to see where I stand, explain to me why it's doing it and correct it with his voodoo magic education that I've only experienced with him. Anyone who really wants to get down to the route of any issues they have with their body should go to this clinic.

Dinah Shaboo

Top notch care and clean, modern facility. Highly recommend. I felt very comfortable throughout my appointment and the entire staff was very welcoming and helpful. It has taken me a long time to find the right therapy for my injury but concept of movement is definitely my number one choice.

Robyn Glassier

Jenn is one of the best RMT's in Barrie, the location is incredibly clean and the staff are always welcoming. Quick responses for booking appointments via email as well. Highly recommend.

Kimberly Venturini-MacMillan

The staff at Concept of Movement are very professional. Your care is their priority. The facility is modern and very clean. i would highly recommend Concept of Movement.

Victoria Houle

Tom is impressive, he is knowledgeable, caring, and explains to you what is happening in your own body. He diagnosed and helped me to treat pain in my neck, and upper back that I did not have answers for for many years. Go see Tom! The wait is worth it!

Lloyd Spooner

I very much appreciated Natalie's thorough and progressive treatment approach for my shoulder injury. I found Natalie to be a personable and knowledgeable professional. Her rehabilitation program for my shoulder help me to increase my range of motion, reduce my pain and increase my strength. I'm now confident that I will be able to resume my previous physical activities with minimal interruption. I believe that Natalie's approach to physiotherapy treatment in general would help anyone in need. I also found Concept of Movement office staff to be both friendly and helpful.

Steve Alexander

Both Matt Cyr and Daniel Zackodnik go above and beyond for performance wellness. Our entire family looks forward to continuing to progress with the phenomenal team at Concept of Movement.

Uvisthra Singh

Thank you to the entire team at Concept, The leadership is inspirational, Tom & Kylee. The facilities are cutting edge. The knowledge is pioneering. The people are caring and genuine in particular Natalie Ornella and Meagan are true super woman !!! The receptionist are always polite and pleasant. The gym, washroom and practice is always impeccably clean and a wonderful place to be. If you want to experience how a service oriented business should be run, this is a fantastic example. Most importantly the physiotherapy knowledge and execution is superb and you would be at a total loss if you visited anywhere else for treatment!!! If you have an injury or just want expert routine care and maintenance for you body this is the place you must visit!!! Thank you so much to all at Concept, Uvi

Hilary Laffrenier

From beginning to end, the experience at Concept of Movement with Dan Zackodnik has been phenomenal! The administrative staff here are friendly and welcoming and Daniel is an absolute genius at figuring out where you’re experiencing pain, why, and explaining it very thoroughly! This office also offers one-on-one movement therapy, which really helped me get back on my feet even faster. Not only do they cater to your specific needs through personalized exercises in each session, but they also guide you through each one to make sure you’re getting the best benefit. I personally had Kevin as a movement therapist and I felt extremely well taken care of! Would 10/10 recommend this physiotherapy office to anyone looking for some support.

Kristen Courtney

I’ve been here for physiotherapy multiple times and the staff have always been so helpful. I highly recommend Dax and Dustin, they’re both very knowledgeable and friendly!

Emily Kinch

Always a great experience. Krystle is amazing! I’m feeling better and see progress after every visit.

Debbie Dawney

Natalie Ornella is awesome! I had a bad foot injury this fall while on vacation and was left with a lot of soft tissue damage. We were referred to COM on the advice of one of my husband's co-workers who was very impressed with his treatment. Natalie was thorough, checking the foot, finding where the issues were and getting them resolved. Over the weeks of seeing her, she systematically figured out and treated the areas of concern, assigned exercises to do on my own, explaining everything that she was doing and why. Her knowledge and friendly manor are definitely an asset to the team. Thanks Natalie for everything! I'll miss being your "very interesting case". :)

Michelle Steele

I saw Dan for a sprained ankle about a month ago. My ankle now feels better and stronger than before! All the staff at COM are amazing!

Theresa Marion

I was outsourced to Joyce because she has the knowledge of my injury. She is amazing and explains everything she does. Highly recommend Joyce!!!

jim VA3MPG

Dealing with an injury is tough — especially when the pain you’re experiencing is bound to cause you even worse issues if left untreated. Fortunately, for me I found Concept of Movement for my physiotherapy, massage and strength and conditioning needs. For better pain management and faster recovery, I highly recommend this facility for all your aches and pains. The staff are helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and just generally happy to see you. I’m very grateful for their assistance in keeping me moving. Give them a try you will not be disappointed.

Joseph Bubel

It sometimes amazes me that someone with so much knowledge, skill and passion works in Barrie. Tom Swales is awesome at what he does, and moreover, he actually practices what he preaches. He's likely one of the most fit people in the city. I cannot recommend Concept of Movement enough to those aspiring to make their bodies better. Book an appointment NOW and start improving those nagging injuries that are affecting your life.

BVI Sugaring

Tom Swales is a wizard. And the best physiotherapist I have ever come across. Before I came to see him I had been diagnosed with pericarditis and given an ultrasound, heart tests with all the wrong diagnosis in my local hospital. With absolutely no result. If anything my pain was getting worse. Tom diagnosed my condition correctly (it turned out to be minor pec spasm) was causing stress in my body. He detected right away the problem. This time it worked almost immediately! I cannot say how grateful I am to Tom for his professionalism, his knowledge and the way he treats his patients. I feel like new again. I highly recommend him and his work team. Excellent customer service, knowledge, professionalism and great place. Thank you guys, you are the best !!!!!!!

DC Corvin

COMphysio is the best Dax was very professional and knowledgeable. He maintained his contagious positive attitude whenever I had to face any challenges in my progress through recovery. That was very helpful and important to me. He seemed to always have a solution for my joints and muscles. The reception ladies were also polite and attentive. Thank you all for your professionalism Respectfully, Daniel

Thanks Natalie. Rob McGibbon

Maryam Malekzadeh

Great staff and very professional team! My physio, Dustin helped me to fix a chronic pain in my ankle by finding the root of the problem in my posture. I highly recommend this place if you have any chronic pains and injuries, or if you need to improve your body movements.

Karl Grim

Tom Swales is not just a damn good physio - he is a student of the human body and of wellness in general. A wealth of information. There's no one better!

Sandy Rix

Tom and his team have a unique approaching to healing that is much different than your typical physio clinic. Tom provides a thorough mulit-disciplinary treatment to meet individual needs and goals whether is it post surgical recovery, injury support and repair, or more of a long standing chronic condition. Tom is very receptive to feedback and takes it seriously. Tom and his team are constantly upgrading and refreshing their skills to support various needs of their clients. I won't be going anywhere else.

Christopher Cunningham

I have had great experiences at Concept of Movement, the trainers are great at what they do and very friendly. All of the staff have been very helpful. I would honestly give them a high rating.

Marie Murphy

COMphysio has been my go-to location for almost 8 years now. They truly are the best you can find in Barrie! Being an active athlete, I have found myself with a fair share of injuries and have always seen results from the programs and treatment at COM. What sets COMphysio aside from the clinics I went to in the past, is their team approach to your recovery. Not only do they treat you but they also educate and coach you, through movement and exercise. Nat has been my Physio for all of my recent injuries now and I love how she encompasses treatment with a proactive approach. She really is SUPERWOMAN, I highly recommend her! I have had great results with the treatment plans she has developed for me and the opportunity she created to train with a Movement Coach. What Physio lacked for me before coming to COM was the opportunity to have someone personally work with me on a program and make sure I was doing the exercises correctly. One of my favorite parts to COMs recovery approach, is the ability to see and work not only with a Physio but a Movement Coach as well. Matt was the main Movement Coach I worked with and he was AWESOME! He made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Being a female, I was hesitant to see a male Coach but Matt created a very welcoming and non judgmental environment. He took the time to explain exercises thoroughly and modified things for me if I needed it. Matt has a wealth of knowledge in the gym, working with him set me up for greater success in my workouts at home and allowed me to feel more confident in what I was doing. I strongly recommend him! COMphysio strives to get you healthy and KEEP you healthy, I always recommend them to my family and friends!

william elliott

I was suffering from over use issues, Daxesh helped me get back to where I want to be with my over all movement !

Colin Bye

I have been a long time supporter in Tom Swales and Concept of Movement. In patient care has always been the highest standard, and the transition to Tele Rehab has proved to hold that standard. The ability to receive professional care at the comfort of your own home is extremely convenient.

Kim-Eden English

I wish I could rate Concept of Movement with more stars, but for now, this effusive praise will have to do. On and off for the past 6 years I have been seeing Natalie for a variety of issues: knee pain, shoulder immobility, neck spasms...I'm a bit of a wreck. Years of playing high impact sports have afforded me many dislocations and injuries so I saw many many different physiotherapists before Natalie. And not a single one had made much impact. But she has been able to not only diagnose, but TEACH me how to address my issues. And now that I finally understand the mechanisms of my own body, I feel empowered to actually DO my exercises. (Because seriously, I never used to do them before.) To add to this glowing review, when the clinic shut down in the early pandemic I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the same level of service. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. Natalie understands SO well the function (and disfunction) of the human body that even via virtual appointment, she has been able to help me address new issues, relieve my pain and help me get stronger. I can't even. There is no better clinic than Concept of Movement, and while I'm sure the other PTs are equally impressive, in my biased opinion, there is no physio on the planet who equals Natalie. And we always laugh during our sessions...even when she is dry needling all my most angry muscles. I want you all to benefit from her (but also don't book all her time because I need her too...) Thanks Tom, and the whole team at Concept of Movement, for creating this space for healing and strengthening.

G Collier

These people care. They can help you feel and get better faster. Very knowledgeable.

Heather Walker

Natalie had me feeling better after my first session. A few more sessions and I'm already discharged - quick and easy; COVID protocols were visible and being meticulously followed; clean, open facility with more than enough equipment and modalities; online booking; online treatment programs. I will continue to refer this clinic to family and friends (and to whoever asks).

Alexa M

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Amanda and the COMphysio team were so thorough in my assessment and movements towards the strengthening exercises for my current state and condition. I really admired how detailed Amanda was in her assessment and appreciate not feeling rushed or like 'just another customer'. Instead, she took her time to understand all my previous injuries to make sure I can become my best self again! Thanks again Amanda. I would most definitely recommend ComPhysio for anyone looking for physio or athletic therapy!

Roxanne Collins

Jen Mundy is a fantastic RMT!

Sittelle Heywood

I had such a great experience with the team at Concept of Movement! I hurt my back this summer and had trouble walking and sitting, which meant my job was also affected, but thanks to Dustin I feel great now and can lift as needed at work! He was so great to work with, coming up with exercises I could do at home without having to invest in a lot of equipment. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a physiotherapist. Thank you so much for all you do!!

Sandy Foster

Professional, personable, knowledgeable, and dedicated staff at COM. The Physios work diligently to determine the underlying cause and take the required time to assess and treat. The strength and conditioning staff are focused, fun, and effective - no cheating in this gym! The office staff are personable, welcoming, and helpful. Overall, the best physio clinic I've been to.

Vineeth Vijayan

I went to COMphysio with a lower back pain. Dax was really helpful and I could really feel the change after the session. He was very clear in explaining the exercises and sent the details over mail as well. The booking process was really smooth and you can book for your next session at the front desk itself.

Very helpful with getting me back to race shape!

Rob Rinneard

Tom and his staff are the best. Very professional in a relaxed atmosphere. Bruce has been helping me with my torn ligament in my ankle and its feeling alot better.

Anna Yazdan Griffiths

The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. It's run smart, someone up there really knows what they're doing.

Andrea Araujo

Aaron is amazing! I have been going to see her to strengthen my neck to prevent headaches, and honestly I see a huge improvements. She has magic hands, and provides me with a variety of exercises I can do at home. The dry needling she does on my neck is also a lifesaver. 10/10 would recommend!

Amanda Slik

I go for a massage every month with Jen, she is lovely as is the rest of the staff. All very friendly. Prices are pretty good and the facility is clean! It's a great place to go for your healthcare needs.

Michael Holmberg

Tom and his team at Concept of Movement were great. The assessments and exercise routines were practical and easy to do from anywhere. Keeping me accountable in the exercise routines on site has given me the foundation for much improved shoulder health. Thanks Concept of Movement!

Jen Morgan

Love this place. They have helped me get back to being pain free and are helping me now build strength. Highly recommend.

The staff at concepts are all very knowledgeable and professional. They are dedicated to the specific needs of each client and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a physiotherapy clinic.

Jessica Melo

I saw Natalie and she was amazing, she was very knowledgeable about my case - pregnancy related hip pain. The exercises she gave me not only helped fix my pain but also (I have found from research) are recommended for pelvic floor workouts prior to giving birth. I will for sure be going back after baby to get back to fighting shape and fix my diastasis recti. Edit- I am back post baby and Natalie is helping me with my litany of issues. I wanted to note also that the front desk staff are so amazing, they work with you so well to find appointments to fit any schedule and often anticipate our needs beforehand. I will recommend Concept of movement to anyone seeking physiotherapy (and do).

Sara Bragg

The team at concept of movement have been wonderful to work with. Everyone is so kind, supportive and encouraging.

Paul Abercrombie

I found the service of staff to be fantastic. As an alternative to surgery I personally wanted to try physiotherapy. Natalie Ornella was awesome at identifying my problem and prescribing a plan that within weeks had my pain reduced to zero and overall symptoms were at a trivial level. Natalie is thorough and great at explaining each step of progress. The plan left me feeling stronger and more educated about how my body works.

Linda Loftus

It is the context of how my body behaves after having sustained injury that I appreciate. I am able to buy into the rehabilitation that the movement coaches prescribe to me, knowing the cause and effect of movement and injury. This was a great referral.

Laura Ball

I've never had a better experience in physical therapy as I've had at Concept of Movement. The staff are professional, friendly, upbeat, and informed on the latest research and techniques. I struggled with knee issues for almost 15 years, and had two surgeries in that time and had never improved - until coming here. I've been free of knee problems now for 2 years, and was even able to start running! Concept of Movement provides amazing care, and make their clients feel like family. Thank you!

Customer Service

I was referred here by my family doctor after ripping my shoulder into a million pieces. The entire staff is personable and compassionate. And the reviews are accurate. All staff is clearly well-trained and accredited. I cannot thank Natalie, Laura and the rest of these awesome humans for their professionalism and high standard of care on my road to recovery. Customer for life!! ???????????? PS Do the acupuncture-thing! It only sucks for a moment!!

Nigel Morton

Concept of Movement is a top notch clinic. Bruce was able to diagnose and prescribe treatment for longstanding issues and I will certainly be back. The integration of physiotherapy with strength/movement training is an excellent model and I would absolutely recommend Concept to anyone needing treatment, whether they are an athlete or not.

Sarah Agar

Tom and his team at Concept of Movement are a professional group who work together to help clients reach their optimum health. I have worked with a physiotherapist, athletic therapist and massage therapist at this clinic and been incredibly pleased with all services and the continual improvement in my body's physical functioning. I recommend Concept of Movement to all of my colleagues, friends and acquaintances looking for superior health care.

Helga Pope

Staff are very professional, friendly and efficient. Tom is very knowledgeable and has helped me considerably with physio in the two years I've been here. I highly recommend!

Krystalyn Bell

The staff here is amazing - from the front desk to the physiotherapists to the trainers in the gym! They assess your injury and put together a program that suits your specific needs with the goal of getting you better! I see Bruce (physio) and Kevin (gym) and they always know just what to do to help with whatever issues I am facing.

Ann L Cooke

I had a painful, incapacitating sciatica”/hip problem for 3 years and looked for help from my chiropractor, laser therapy, massage therapy and orthopaedic therapy. Finally, I learned of Tom Swales and Concept of Movement. Tom is a dedicated, knowledgeable professional to whom I am very grateful. I have returned to normal activities now, thanks to him. Ann Cooke (77)

Sylvia Chenier

The physiotherapists at Concept of Movement really know their stuff. They listen to the needs of clients, and treat you very well, educating you about your body and abilities. The trainers in the gym are fun and push you to be your personal best. The ladies who greet you at the front desk are kind and cheerful. I would highly recommend this facility because it is clean, well organized, welcoming, professional and has extra services like massage and acupuncture available as well. Thanks for all the help over the past 3 years to everyone at Concept of Movement!

Angelo Sante

An amazing team of professionals that have kept our family of competitive athletes in top shape. From the front desk staff, to the state of the art equipment and latest techniques, you are guaranteed to get the best care and the best treatment. Kudos to the Concept of Movement team for building a such great practice.

Isaiah Galbraith

Amazing staff! Very knowledgeable, and able to simplify everything so anybody can understand. 10/10 would recommend

Holly Mischuk

I started seeing Joyce about 5 weeks ago she is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend her. She also phone and checked in to see how I was doing. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Caitlin Beresford

The staff here are awesome. Have finally sorted out a problem I have had for years!

Mort Cooper

Very helpful.

Matthew Burrows

Exceeded my expectations by a long shot! Kristy is very knowledgeable and professional! I finally have a plan in place that I'm confident about, far better than anywhere I have been before. The facilities are very clean and inviting and the front of house staff are extremely polite and efficient!

Jesse Sulmona

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, without a doubt the most effective physio I've ever been treated with. Bruce Martens is fantastic.

Lloyd Bristow

I have been going to Com Physio for the last couple of years. From walking in the door and being greeted by the front desk staff to the Physio's that are top in their field and the amazing onsite gym and qualified strength trainers you defiantly get the feeling you are getting the best treatment available. Gee they even have massage therapist on site! The team at Com takes the time to show/explain and demonstrate the strengthening exercises. In these times covid-19 they reached out to introduce me virtual physio and Strength training. ABSOLUTELY love this. The sessions are detailed and followed up. I kid you not, this is a MUST try if you are dealing with pain OR need to increase your strength training. They have provided such great tips for me to work out at home or anywhere I have an internet connection! I actually prefer this over the hustle and bustle of life and going into a facility right now and having to wear a mask ! You get 100% more one on one with the physiotherapist and the strength coaches. I give this an absolute 5 start rating. It truly is a must try for everyone.

raymond mehagan

all the staff at concept of movement are professional and friendly. i would recommend this facility if your looking for physiotherapy and want to get better!

Mary Boucher

Huge thanks to Daniel for helping me recover from a badly sprained ankle! Pain management therapy and mobility recovery exercise regimen were well planned and executed. I found Daniel to be a caring and very competent and knowledgeable physiotherapist. I received an emailed exercise plan with video instructions with each session which made completing my at home recovery program simple. I am now back to over 90% recovered from the sprain in 11weeks. Daniel used multiple tools which included massage, acupuncture and exercise to help me recover. This is the second time I have accessed care at this physiotherapy clinic and I highly recommend Daniel and Concept of Movement to anyone needing rehabilitation support!

Mort Cooper

There has been steady improvement of my physical health, to the point that I can say, I have been re-built since my injury over a year ago! Physio diagnosis's and related treatment is excellent! Physical training and attention, has made me much stronger! My fitness outlook, going into later years, is much more bright!!

Dan L

The team at Concept of Movement were amazing in helping me fully recover from a knee injury. I was able to get back to my daily routine quickly with their guidance and expertise. Can't thank them enough

Charlene Wakewich

I have been a long-standing client and have addressed a variety of issues with Tom over the years. Whether my visit involves a treatment or time in the gym, I always leave with having acquired greater mobility, decreased pain and new knowledge to assist in keeping me moving safely to quickly get back to enjoying all of my favourite activities! Super staff . . . friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and professional! Charlene W.

Jason Schwartz

Bruce and the staff at Concept are fantastic. I have been seeing Bruce since 2015 after having knee surgery. He is always willing to try new treatments in an effort to help with recovery and strengthening the imbalances the my body. I don't see him as often these days because his treatment plan has worked that well and I'm injury free. Thank you Bruce!

Kelly Drinkwater

I've enjoyed getting back to myself. Natalie, Kevin and everyone at concept of movement is so knowledgeable. I'm so thankful to be back to myself and I couldn't of done it without their help.

Emmily Clarke

From the moment you walk in you just feel so comfortable -all the staff is so great! I would recommend concept of movement to anyone!

Ann Cooke

I had constant, chronic back pain for 4 1/2 years and was spending a lot of money on my back seeiing a chiropractor, laser therapy, an osteopath and massage therapy on a regular basis.. Diagnosis was from sciatica to Degenerative Disc Disease which would end with me in a wheelchair. My condition was getting worse when I learned about Tom Swales who very persistently worked with me until now I am seeing him every 4 weeks! Tom knows his stuff and if he doesn't, he keeps working until he finds the answer.

Marie Carlson

This clinic is top notch! My physiotherapist was knowledgeable in all areas, super friendly and got me excited to start on my plan! They have all inclusive physiotherapy which includes acupuncture, laser, the pemf machine (which I love!), manual therapy, ultrasound and more so that was a nice bonus and I'm so happy I decided to come here! The clinic itself is super clean and modern, the gym area too was the best I've seen! Highly recommend !

Shawn Clarkson

Really knowledgeable and friendly staff and great facilities

Shelley Rose

Always professional, always accommodating, always friendly, always knowledgeable... best physiotherapists and athletic therapists around!

Jill Roque

All of the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. However, Natalie goes above and beyond. She is a magician and has helped me out with several injuries.

Jessica Hendriks

I've been seeing Bruce Martens for a few years now, and cannot say enough about his high standards of professionalism and expertise. There have been times when I've been in terrible shape with injuries and chronic pain, and he provides outstanding treatment in the form of manual therapy, dry needling and strength building exercises that get me back on my feet and restore my mobility. He is a very good listener, is patient and kind. Highly recommend Bruce.

Devin Posie

Love this place! The team has a great vibe and is very talented. I have gone here for deep muscle brusing and letely a shoulder ligament issue. By sticking to the plan and the help of Clinic lead Natalie O i've been back to good health everytime. Yes it boring but the programs work if you do the work. These people rock!

Brooke T

I have been coming to this clinic for 4 years for chronic back pain and the whole staff is awesome- the physiotherapists, the massage therapists and administration. Most recently I have tried the Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy for a couple months at Concept of Movement– I have had very positive results using this form of therapy , my pain has been reduced and I highly recommend Concept of Movement!

Anthony

Keep feathering it brother!

Ian D.S.

I've been to many Physio locations over the years and this was by far my best experience. I was fortunate enough to work with Dax and he was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, personable and professional. I will certainly be back.

Tony vanRennes

Very good experience Dax is very good at what he does would recommend him to anyone he is very knowledgeable and the staff is very friendly and amazing customer service

Corey Burchell

I went in with bad lower back pain. Thought I was debilitated, constant pain, unable to bend over. Dax did a quick assessment and easily identified the issue. He gave me several simple exercises and did some manual manipulation. I left being able to bend over and touch my toes without any pain, a feat I thought I'd never be able to do again. Immediate relief, very thankful! Highly Recommend

Cynthia Sager

Very unprofessional in regards to sending information ahead of time. Had an appointment which they required a Par Q+ filled out in which they didnt email me or notify me about it until I arrived at their establishment. Had to rebook for another day after taking the day off and pay for the assessment, on top of that they made me repay for another assessment. If it wasnt required for a testing that I needed I would never spend a dollar here again. 0/5 stars if able.,

Heidi Wilson

There should be more than 5 stars offered here. I was sold at my first assessment! Tom is extremely knowledgeable and continues to educate. It is apparent that this is his passion. I have full trust in Tom and I adore his skilled and friendly staff. I have had 20 years of back pain. After my physiotherapy treatments with Tom, I am thrilled to say I am pain free. Finally!! PS I have the best strength coaches :)

Ian Lavallee

I went to another physio place before this one and this one was much better. Dax was very thorough on the initial examination and detected an issue I didn't even realize I had. He was extremely professional and the treatment was effective. Would definitely go back if anything comes up in the future.

Brandon Snow

Steph is the AMAZING at what she does, and does her work with honesty and integrity.

Mo KG

amazing staff and great success in my rehabilitation. highly recommend!

Ivy Camelo

Dustin is very knowledgeable and professional. I really like having acupuncture, cupping and laser treatments as part of my treatment. Highly recommend!

Wendy Clark

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !!!! I started going to Concept of Movement because I had ongoing issues with my back and nothing seemed to work to make it better. Thanks to Daniel Zackodnik who is professional, knowledgeable and friendly I am doing so much better now !!!!! I highly recommend Concept of Movement !!!!!!

Taylor Dusome

After nearly 2 years of experiencing ongoing neck pain following a trampoline accident, I was referred to COMphysio. I saw Tom for a thorough and informative assessment where he was able to get to the root cause of what was going on (when my previous healthcare professionals couldn't). I followed through with the prescribed treatment plan and exercises, and was beyond impressed when my neck pain had completely resolved in just a handful of sessions. I'm so thankful for his knowledge and expertise. I couldn't recommend Tom and the rest of the team at COM enough.

Heather Paul

Great staff, knowledgeable and a very clean modern facility

Simona Galante

Concept of Movement has got it all from excellent customer service to professionally trained and skilled therapists. Natalie is very professional, and knowledgeable. I am thrilled with how much better I am feeling. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone in a heartbeat!!!

Johnny Kwias

If you're looking for above and beyond knowledgable service in a friendly welcoming atmosphere this is the place to go. If you need help with recovery from an injury or lack of mobility. I strongly recommend Concept of Movement, they've helped me with my recovery and helped me further excel in my sport.

Linda

I have been a client of Concept of Movement for many years now , and have seen quite a few different Physiotherapist as well as Strength and Training coaches . All whom were very helpful and knowledgeable . I now see Natalie my Physiotherapist and Chris for Strength and Training we have a great time putting me back in shape . The rest of the staff is very helpful and I strongly recommend them .

Melissa G

I have been here quite a few times over the years for various ailments and have always got it resolved. My most recent I saw Daniel who was absolutely fabulous! Gave me great exercises and understood when I was too busy to get them done lol.

Jan-Paul Landry

I have been going to Concepts of motion, for a month! I went to them after being recommended by family, and Doctors. They were not wrong ,I am warmly greeted each visit, my therapists are Tom and Dan, these guys are so professional, and caring! I am feeling so much better, and am pleased to honour them for their amazing work. I have been in major pain with low back pain for a very long time , each visit I felt amazingly better! Any problem is well handled by all staff, even during this pandemic. Don’t hesitate to check this company,for health problems. Be safe, and happy????

Ashley Shamess

Very professional and clean. Super friendly staff. I have actually recommended a few people there as well who all seemed to very happy with the service.

Phyllis Borgdorff

The staff at Concept of Movement are friendly and professional. The facility is clean, modern and well equipped. I appreciate that my appointments are in a private room instead of out in the open where everyone can watch and listen. My physiotherapist is Lisa Wilson and she is fantastic!!! I can't thank her enough! I am enjoying life again. I could barely walk and every step was in pain thanks to OA in both knees. Lisa has a keen eye and was able to pinpoint and correct posture problems that caused the arthritis in the first place. We have worked on posture, balance, strength and endurance. Lisa pays close attention to correct form and adjusts the exercises to a difficulty level that I can perform. She has been very encouraging. Physio exercises have made a world of a difference and I am sure they have prolonged the need for joint replacement surgery.

Nic Langman

Tom and his team have been miracle workers for me. I first saw Tom shortly after a debilitating shoulder surgery. Being a high level athlete and making a career out of Martial Arts and contracting on the side, this was a huge surgery for me. It could have been the end of my career. After months of using a local physio place and my recovering getting no where, I was referred to Tom by a friend. Within a few visits, my shoulder was back to building muscle and being fully functional. It wasn't just my shoulder that Tom helped me with. With his extensive knowledge, he helped me fine tune my body for my sport (high level Kickboxing and Muay Thai). It wasn't long after my first visit to Tom that I stepped on the podium in Mexico while fighting for Team Canada! Tom not only helped with prepping me for daily life and these intense competitions, but he helped me with my battle wounds post competition and after intense training sessions. He has put me back together more times than I can count and I know I am a client for life! He truly is a miracle worker!

Phil McRae

The staff are informative, pleasant & eager to assist you in your health goals. The therapists are very thorough & keep the lines of communication open between themselves & the client to guide them back to optimum health through progressive treatment & ongoing education. Tom Swales & his Concept of Movement Team come with the highest recommendation!

Tracy Carlson

Great staff and great environment!

THE SAVAGE MONK

I recieved excellent guidance from Tom and the team at concept of movement. I continue to improve my health and performance based on the philosophy Tom Swales beings to his practice.

Michelle EA

Amazing experience! From the moment you walk in friendly environment , very clean facility, great gym and best physiotherapist I’ve ever seen!! (I’ve unfortunately shopped around.) Thanks Again!

Natalie Ogrodnik

The team is so friendly, highly recommend!

Norm Susil

Friendly, fun, family, physio: the staff is amazing and the therapy is even better. Great combos of training, massage, and physio. Great atmosphere and good vibes make for an excellent healing environment.

Danielle Brophey

Bruce is amazing. I broke my tibia plateau in the fall of 2020 and was non weight bearing for almost 3 months. Bruce restored my ROM and taught me to walk without a limp. He is professional and kind and always listening to my goals, so far I have hit all of them with his help. 7 months after my surgery my surgeon was so impressed that I could walk normal! Highly recommend concept of movement and Bruce!

Joyce Wong

Tom was incredible in helping my daughter get better. We had seen a variety of health professionals (multiple doctors, Sick Kids, osteopath, PTs, SLP) over the past 3 months to try to get to the bottom of her throat pain. It had been severe enough to stop her from doing her favourite activities and woke her up frequently every night. We were very worried when no one could diagnose her. We saw Tom for a thorough online assessment and an in-clinic treatment. We followed through with her prescribed exercises, and were THRILLED when her throat pain fully resolved several days after our second appointment!! We're BEYOND GRATEFUL for his knowledge and expertise. Thank you so much, Tom and staff!

Matt Belanger

Shout out to Dax who worked me hard to fix my shoulder in record time! I was back to work within three weeks of my injury. Much appreciated.

Ryan Cooney

Great place, best massage and physio clinic in Barrie.

Don Cost

Top notch clinic! I had the pleasure of working with the team at Concept of Movement and my experience was an extremely positive one. My physiotherapist Daniel, as well as the entire staff was professional, friendly and knowledgeable to say the very least.

Anthony Rinaldi

Tom and the staff at concept of Movement are highly trained professionals who go above and beyond each visit. The facility is always clean and you always leave feeling well looked after and know that they care. I definitely highly recommend.

Justin B

Great place!

Darlene Reiche

I started my journey in a lot of pain and I turned to physiotherapy for relief. I believe this was my path. I was NOT going to start medication to mask my ailment. The therapy was on-going. I was not a master of my body but with the expertise, skills and training from my physiotherapist, I was getting her desired results (mine too; just didn’t know it). Natalie was caring and sensitive and professional. My treatment plan included acupuncture, dry needling, her manipulating my body and of course homework. Here I am graduating from her class with homework that will continue through out my life! I’m proud of both of us as one part of my treatment was no medication and secondly, she believed when at times, I didn’t believe in my body resolving its issues. Natalie, you are the best! Yes, Natalie is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ worthy.

Megan Law

Awesome staff and a really positive environment and atmosphere. I trust them fully for all of my physio needs!

Laura Hanschke

This is my second round of being treated by Natalie during covid. The way she’s able to guide me through my exercises over telehealth amazes me! I feel like I’m getting treated in person, and would definitely recommend Natalie to everyone. Her expertise, professionalism, and rehab recommendations are top notch! Not only do I feel my injury is being healed but I’m getting stronger to prevent future injury too!

Leslie Martin

Excellent staff, expert physiotherapists - I would highly recommend!

John Matto

I had issues walking with pain on both knees for a couple of years. I started physio at Concept of Movement a couple months ago and I wish I started earlier. Although I still have work to do, I have improved so much. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff and I would definitely recommend them if you are in pain and need help. Marco DiMatteo

T Honeywood

Tom Swales' skill set rivals the best in the country. If you are a competitive athlete you owe it to yourself to add him to your team. He is top-notch at making adjustments to ensure you'll be able to play the next game or practice. However, where he truly succeeds is changing and teaching movement patterns, and strengthening muscles you've never even thought about. He develops a custom approach to your treatment, taking you through the necessary progressions to reach your goals. If you are serious about injury prevention, athletic improvement or living a healthy pain free life I highly recommend Tom (and have several times). If you religiously follow Tom's treatment plan you will be astonished with the results you'll experience. Tom is a true asset to the athletic community.

Layda Zuñiga

I would definitely recommend Concept of Movement for any injury therapy. I had an ankle sprain beginning of October and after seeing Dax for more than 3 months I feel my ankle recovered perfectly. He was always very patient and explained to me all the exercises I have to do in order to get my full mobility back. Through the therapy he was always explaining how the muscles work to understand the reason of the exercises. It was a long process but I am more than happy with the results from Dax and Concept of Movement 100% recommended

Kate Hermiston

This is the best physiotherapy clinic I have ever been to. Every staff member I met was so nice and welcoming. My physiotherapist Natalie went above and beyond in making me a treatment program that was specifically geared towards my needs. After a few appointments, I started to feel so much better after a year of constant lower back pain. I have recommended her to all my family and friends and will continue to do so.

Andrew Chen

Dan is a really good physiotherapist. He helped me work through my injuries and was very knowledgeable and approachable. I totally felt taken care of and like I was in good hands. Trust is very important when it comes to your health, and I trust Dan at Concept of Movement. The front desk staff was very nice as well.

Amanda Trebble

Concept of Movement was highly recommended to me, by many coworkers, in a physically demanding job. Many raving about the wonderful staff, their knowledge, team work, and top notch gym. They continue to rise to the challenge. Approximately 10 days post-op the pandemic hit and the state of emergency was declared. Forcing all businesses to shut their doors. Fearful it would delay my recovery, with no ability to continue therapy after my surgery. Concept provided a seamless transition to Virtual Therapy immediately following the Covid-19 shut down. Tom, Dax and Kevin have continued to provide me with the therapy and movement I need to have a 100% recovery from ACL surgery all from the comfort of my home. They adapted my therapy to using the equipment I have in my home. Entertained and laughed with my two young children who occasionally popped in to say ‘Hi’. My progression in therapy never felt like it stopped, even though the rest of world had. I can’t wait to return to in person appointments and see all the amazing staff at Concept. Knowing there always thinking of their patients first, I would highly recommend Concept of Movement to everyone.

Dee D

I don't like physiotherapists but Tom Swales and his team are awesome and have changed my mind!

Neill K

Tom treated my back pain and stiffness, I could barely move and had difficulty sleeping. Tom was able to diagnose the issue promptly and treated me with stretches and movement exercises. I was back to 100% within days. I find Tom and all of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and provide amazing service.

Tracy Latimer

Joyce is exceptional! She has made a huge difference in giving me back mobility and reducing discomfort. She has has also taught me self management skills for between visits. The location is clean, staff are friendly and it’s easy to get to.

Jonathan Gardner

I've been going to Concept of Movement for the past three months and the experience has been absolutely fantastic! I originally came in looking to get back into running after having had some medical foot pain and have stayed for so long because of the quality of care. My physiotherapist, Dustin Ng has been incredibly professional and knowledgeable. During my time here, Dustin has helped me to get back to running by developing specialized at home workout routines and by working with the movement coaches at Concept of Movement to develop in gym workouts which target muscles in areas I had previously been lacking. Additionally, Dustin has shown me several simple stretches and workouts that I can do at home or the office to avoid developing chronic pain from my desk job. I have spent time in Concept of Movement's gym with most of the movement coaches though I would like to make special mention of my primary movement coach, Matt Cyr. It only took a couple sessions for me to notice myself getting stronger and I feel much better and more mobile now than I did before. Every session I had in the gym was intense but the movement coaches took such good care to ensure that I'd warmed up and stretched properly that I would rarely feel too sore the following day. Concept of Movement is an incredible physiotherapy location with the best of movement coaches and physiotherapists. I would recommend it to anyone in the Barrie area.

Justine Baskey

An amazing team of people who truly pay attention to what you need and help you to become a stronger, better functioning you.

Trevor Quesnelle

I suffered a complete Achilles Rupture of my right leg and the knowledge of the staff from the front desk, to the Physio therapists and strength and conditioning coaches made the long recovery process that much easier. Without them I wouldn’t have exceeded the healing expectations of the Orthopaedic Surgeon. The best place to go for any injuries or advice on health issues

Adam

After sustaining a concussion, a friend recommended COM and my life changed for the better. They understood my symptoms and knew exactly how to address them and more importantly, was actually able to answer my questions. They are professional, result oriented and will make a recovery plan that is customized to your unique needs. If you're in need of physiotherapy, look no further.

J Low

I came here with incredible pain from tendinitis in my shoulder and limited movement. I noticed a big difference after my first treatment and continued to improve every week. I felt so much better every time I walked out of there. Thank you for making a difference in my life : )

samantha eeles

I see Matt (strength coach) regularly, he really listens and takes his time with you. I see Briana and Tom for Physio and they really have helped me with all of my injury's.Friendly Staff all around, the reception is really nice and helpful and the massage therapist is awesome as well. Highly recommend!!

**

Bruce has been great. He’s helped me tremendously with my neck and shoulder pain. I would highly recommend Bruce for your physio needs.

Elizabeth Seguin

I am so thankful for the treatment, care and instruction Tom, Laura and the whole team have given me. I've been to so many Physiotherapists and none of them can compare to COM. I would highly recommend all of the services here, and their admin staff is top notch. Also, it is super clean and beautiful inside! Love it there.

mike motz

Dustin did a great job in getting my left wrist and hand mobility, and strengthened with the Physio he did over the six sessions. He brought me to 85% of the strength. It’s up to me to get the extra 15% back. Dustin got me motivated, and the confidence to work the issues at home by showing me all the exercises needed in detail. Hopefully I’ll never need to recommend anyone for Physio but if I do have to I would recommend "Concept in Movement" and of course Dustin. Thank you Dustin for all the hard work. Mike Motz Pickleball Player

Brandon B

Great Staff, Excellent Therapists and a modern clinic.

Zach Nastasiuk

Tom Swales and his excellent staff at Concept of Movement right away make you feel right at home. Everyone is very genuine, out going, and easy to get a long with. Tom is a true professional and is probably the smartest person I have ever met in his field of study. Tom relays his knowledge and expertise to his staff which makes Concept of Movement a no brainer. Whether you have to rehab an injury, are looking to get in shape, or are training for a specific occupation.. Tom and his team know exactly what to do..to help you achieve your goals. Concept of Movement has definitely helped me reach my goals and everyday I go back they continue to impress. To get the best of what you need, you must go see Tom and his team at Concept of Movement. You will not regret it.

Kevin S

Concept of Movement is the best place to go for physio. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or working to prevent future ones, the staff here can and do challenge you to do your best and the results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an effective treatment for their pain, to come here!

Jessica S

Definitely would recommend this clinic!

Bruce Wakewich

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Everybody including the team at the front desk, Matt in the gym and of course Natalie were phenomenal.

Scott Foster

I have been a patient of Aaron Stewart’s prior to my recent spinal surgery (2nd) and afterwards. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to my health and recovery. She is great to speak to and chat with as well. I don’t usually complete reviews but when I do it’s for individuals like Aaron.

Feral 411

Concepts of Movement is great. I was a first timer for physio and apprehensive but once there everything felt comfortable and explanations were given for anything done. I specifically had Dax for my physio and within a few weeks (1 appt per week) my shoulder issue was completely resolved!

Shaun

Tom is very knowledgeable and skilled at fixing problems or enhancing performance. I have been to Tom before he started concept. Highly recommended.

Mike Johnson

Lisa is a miracle worker. Very knowledgeable (like, incredibly) and passionate about what she does. The rest of the staff are very friendly and professional. I have seen Tom in the past who is also excellent.

Amanda Cartaginese

I was referred to Concept of Movement by a few friends after I a slip and fall accident I had. I met with Laura for Physiotherapy and immediately felt comfortable and not pressured into anything. Her diagnosis and treatment planning was great and she has been very helpful with my recovery. Laura has also given me easy at home exercises to continue between sessions. It was also recommended I have some massage therapy treatments. I do have my own RMT I usually go to but decided it was easier to seek treatment from a CoM RMT as I was already there. I met with Sasha and received the best massage (and to note it was only my neck/ shoulder area) I have ever had. Sasha was very informative during the massage and talked me through everything she was doing and why. I will definitely be back to see Sasha for regular massages even after my treatments have been completed. If you are seeking either a physiotherapist or a RMT I would 10/10 recommended both Laura and Sasha from CoM.

Scott Andrews

Nikki is by far the best Massage Therapist I have ever had. I would recommend her to anyone. 10 stars if possible

Julie Scott

I am currently working with Physiotherapist Joyce Wong to address lymphedema related issues and also a shoulder injury. In both cases, I have found her to be very knowledgeable in her assessment and approach to treatment, which has helped me have a better understanding of these conditions and experience almost immediate relief from the discomfort, as we work towards the best possible recovery. The treatments I have received in the past for lymphedema, have focused on the upper body and the effected arm. Joyce has shown me other areas of my body that have been impacted by this condition and has taken a whole body approach which has given me much greater relief in the short term. I find her to be not only highly knowledgeable but highly skilled as a therapist with regard to lymphedema and its related issues. After our first appointment, Joyce followed up with an email outlining a daily program for me and she continues to send emails as needed when exercises are added to my routine. She is highly professional and technical in her approach but is also very kind and personable in her style. She really is delightful and I am very grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her as a physiotherapist and her skills, knowledge and insights in the areas of lymphedema and associated issues. Thank you for your care Joyce!

Concept of movement is honestly the best physio and massage clinic, from the moment you walk in, the admin is so friendly. The clinic itself is a positive vibe and always clean.

Tyler Wilson

Very nice people who found the perfect balance between helping you recover and get stronger to also forming a special bond with you.

Sabrina Mccoy

Just finished my first movement session with Matt, and had my first Physio session with Dan last week and I already can’t wait to go back. I felt so welcomed and listened to immediately and they explain my pain so well, I can feel a difference already in just one session with each. I don’t usually recommend things passionately but this place is it! The whole atmosphere is positive and motivating.

Loretta Ornella

I saw Bruce Marten several times and he was amazing. He got right to the heart of my issue after assessment and gave me the tools I needed to manage and strengthen the problem area. I felt very comfortable with the cleanliness and Covid procedures at the clinic.

Rhonda McDonald

If you want to reach your Olympic dreams or you are struggling and in need for answers to get back to functioning at your full capacity, Concept can get you there. If you want a clear understanding and knowledge base to maintain or excel your full range of motion and strength, again, I highly recommend Concept for you. Even for those days of reaching the tipping point of your frustrations or dealing with your raw vulnerabilities through injury and repair, they are there for you through their sincere caring, professionalism and non-judgment. Concept's entire team is 100% invested in helping you attain YOUR best YOU, as I have learned from my personal experiences. Thanks to you all! With Gratitude & Appreciation, Rhonda Healey McDonald

Zarah Walpole

Natalie is a wonderful physiotherapist. Provided excellent care and exercises to assist my daughter with her postural issues before they became permanent.

Steven Zawacki

My whole family goes to concept of Movement. You get smiles from the moment you walk in with the amazing reception staff through your appointment with skilled and knowledgeable physiotherapists. Natalie treats my wife and I and we couldn't be happier with the progress we are making with her. The ladies at reception are always accommodating and friendly. In these times they are taking great precautions for in person visits, we feel safe visiting the Concept of movement office but if you are unsure they offer virtual appointments too!

LOCKIE DAVIS

Concept of Movement and specifically Dax Patel were great to work with. Helped me out with my issues and gave me lots of exercises I can do at home to help with my recovery.

Brad Kinzett

outstanding service by the most knowledgeable staff!

Judy Hamill

I have been going regularly to Concepts for physio over the past few years and find all the physiotherapists to be thorough, professional and most of all helpful giving instruction for specific exercises as well as acupuncture. Daniel has been most helpful in this regard. The administrative staff are always there to help in a friendly , welcoming manner. I also do regular exercise with a movement coach (specifically Kevin). I was originally doing them at the clinic but since Covid have been doing them virtually at home which is most convenient. I miss going to the gym at the clinic because they have a lot of really cool equipment. Kevin and Daniel communicate and put together specific exercises which will benefit my issues. I am restricted in terms of equipment but Kevin gets the job done with all the routines he puts together for me. I know if I were doing it myself, I would not push as hard. Kevin is kind, understanding and very encouraging. He knows his stuff! J

Madison O'Braitis

Highly recommend. I had a serious injury to my ankle that required surgery, and have very quickly gained movement and strength back. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Hilary Brooke Klassen

Natalie was exceptional in her manual skills, ability to modify and challenge me appropriately, and fix me up quickly to be able to continue my sport and get back to resistance work. I recommend COM to all. Thanks for your mad skills Nat!

Lauren Chapman

I was recently treated by Jenn Mundy and had an exceptional experience as her client! In the past, I have received many massage therapy treatments and none have compared to the massage I got from Jenn. I was very impressed by how intuitive she is at sensing problems in my body and she was able to massage every knot out with ease. Her professionalism, skill, incredible technique and ability to make me feel comfortable made this the best massage I ever had! I will definitely be booking another session with Jenn - she is incredibly talented!

Mary Brown

A big shout out to Laura Jackson who started treating me January 15th and in only 3 weeks, has accomplished more than any other health care professional has done in 2 years. Her diagnosis was spot on, and the excruciating unceasing nerve pain in my leg is gone. Laura, by recommending exercises and stretches, and her hands on treatments have helped me reduce my pain by an extraordinary amount. She’s intelligent, personable and listens to her patients. I'm really thankful to have met her.

Hailey Tilleczek

I’ve had a great experience working with Dax. I was a couple months pregnant when I first started going in for physio and I’m so happy I received (and continue to receive) such quality care at that time. I would recommend Dax to anyone whose looking for a knowledgeable and experienced physiotherapist.

Liszz Palmer

My husband and daughter have both been treated at Concept of Movement. My daughter for soccer related injuries and my husband for physio before and after rotator cuff repair surgery. Tom and his staff have been exemplary with the level of care they offer. By far the best physio clinic. Ever!

Dave VandenBos

I've have had back and knee issues for nearly 20 years because of hard work and sports. I have been to dozens of massage therapists and physiotherapists in the past, but this is the first time the underlying issues are being corrected and I am getting relief. Usual problems I've experienced with others is the "drive-thru" physio, where your in and out in 5 minutes with little time into understanding my issues. Concept of Movement spends the necessary time to work with me to fix the issues. Id give 10 stars if I could. Bruce Martens is a physio wizard!!!

Ashley Rice

COM has helped me work through an injury I sustained. They have many helpful and encouraging staff from Physiotherapists to Strength Trainers. They push you to get your life back on track without being pushy.

Dino Melchior

I have been a client of Concept Of Movement from their opening day and have never been disappointed. If I continue doing the stretches I have been told I feel amazing:) When I don't follow thru on the recommendations, I notice the difference.

Bradford Cooke

I have never been disappointed with the level of customer service at Concept of Movement. Your treatment is never rushed and is thorough. As a client you are educated on why you may have an issue and what steps are necessary to heal and move better. Tom was instrumental in rehabbing my shoulder after a surgery in 2013. Today it is stronger than it was before the operation.

Kailey Law

Great facility and really friendly staff!

Cheryl McLaughlin

I have been seeing Natalie at Concept of Movement for about a year. She patiently and creatively worked me through various overuse injuries to allow me to run and train to my full potential again and never let me give up when I felt like quitting. The front desk staff is always efficient and courteous. I highly recommend Natalie and the entire team at Concept of Movement.

Kelsey Noble

My experience at COMphysio has been a positive one! They offer all the services I require under one roof which is super convenient. Treatments are thorough and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Andrew Morris

I highly recommend this clinic. Very clean and organized with extremely welcoming staff. I only had 3 sessions before I moved away from the area, but would recommend this clinic! The physio I was working with was Aaron and she was awesome!

Mellissa Raulino

Ive seen Bruce and Joyce - and they were amazing I highly recommend them. Clean clinic, awesome admin staff, and all around a great experience.

Allie Y

Our family have been patients/clients at Concept of Movement for a few years now, for a variety of reasons. We have always been impressed by the level of care that we get from the entire team. We feel that they genuinely are invested in our health and well being. We would 100% recommend Concept of Movement for your physiotherapy, massage therapy, performance and wellness needs.

Jenn Morton

I can’t recommend Concept of Movement and Dan enough! For decades I’ve had chronic neck and back pain. Many years of added sports injuries caused my fitness levels to plummet. Weekly Physio treatments for a year at another place (plus chiropractors and osteopaths) wasn’t giving me any relief. I came to Dan feeling desperate for pain relief and the ability to strengthen my body. Dan always listened and clearly communicated his assessment and plan. My instructions were thorough and detailed. Within a few weeks I felt pain relief I hadn’t felt in years. After only 2 months with Dan, and movement coaches Kevin and Matt, I feel strong, 90% pain free, and confident in my own ability to progress my training. This experience feels life changing! My only regret is not coming here sooner.

Maegan Fearman

Tom and his staff are incredibly professional and go above and beyond to truly make you feel comfortable. The clinic itself is a 10/10 and the gym is amazing!! This gym is everything and more that you would want in a physiotherapy clinic, it's large, clean, and had all the best equipment. The physiotherapists really listened to what I had to say every week as I was making progress. They completely healed the issues I was having physically and also educated me throughout the whole process putting a great plan in place for the future to prevent my injury from reoccurring. Love this place and couldn't recommend it enough!

Tyler Zadow-Adamson

From the admin staff to the strength coaches and of course the best physiotherapists around - this clinic rocks ! Very happy I chose to come to concept of movement !

Cory Hubbard

The entire staff is extremely welcoming. Concept gives off a warm family feeling, and they are always there to help me when needed. Tom is an extremely knowledgeable physiotherapist who always explains what's going on with my body. Amazing place, you wont be disappointed

Stephanie Hayden

Best place in Barrie ;)

Kayla Whitting

Amazing staff, flexible hours, friendly and professional. Definitely a great experience.

Ryan Donohue

Greeted with smiles, very professional and great atmosphere, had great care from the Physiotherapists there made me feel at ease and really listened and helped me, i would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for good physiotherapy.

Mckensie Greig

Great experience here! Very friendly staff, clean office and welcoming environment!

Rob Theriault

Terrible unprofessional establishment. They dont not send required paperwork to you on time that are needed for your appointments. Would not waste my money here every agin If could give negative stars I would.

Angie sloan

I started working with Daniel in March of 2021 after a hamstring irritation that began in January was not healing on its own. I am an avid runner and not being able to run, or even walk the dog without discomfort, was causing serious upset in my life. I was provided a detailed plan and continue to see Daniel weekly for several months while noticing improvements. In July, the pain and discomfort was almost completely gone and I am back to running and exercising regularly without pain. Daniel was quick to reassess when I wasn’t making progress and I’m thankful that I stuck with it! Results aren’t always instantaneous but I believe if I hadn’t continued with physio I would still have the pain I was experiencing months ago.

Jocelyn Penny

The team is so amazing and always have smiles on their faces. I would highly recommend Concept of Movement!!

Nurjehan Luther

I had a knee replacement surgery 3 weeks ago. After one week, I started my program for physio at Concept of Movement. After every visit, they sent me an email of different exercises which I did it at home. After the 3rd visit, I was told not to use a cane as my walking improved greatly. I was able to do all the exercises and now I have one more visit and I will be done. I truly recommend the Concept of Movement because they are highly professional, innovative and get results.

Brett Kawasaki

Great place

Ashley Akbari

COMphysio is my GO TO in Barrie for physiotherapy, massage therapy and athletic therapy! The staff is all professional yet super friendly. The clinic is also big, modern and welcoming unlike many other places that are very cramped and look like a walk in clinic.

Mary Powis

Aaron S. has been amazing. After 18+ months of deteriorating hip motion Aaron has put a protocol of exercises together that have strengthened and increased motion in the joint. Amazing work done by an equally amazing Lady! Thanks a million for all of your help!

Tom Thomason

These people are great!!!!

Craig Osmond

Concept of movement is the real deal. Professional, knowledgeable staff who put your needs and lifestyle first. The front end staff work with your schedule and book appointments that work well, gym staff are great at pushing you both physically and mentally. The physiotherapists are top notch. They are very thorough in their assessments and treatment plans. They tailor treatment plans to each individuals needs. Natalie is my primary physiotherapist, and I wouldn’t have it any other way; she understands my busy lifestyle and was able to create a minimalist home exercise plan that still kept my recovery at the forefront. Natalie has treated me on multiple occasions for various injuries over several years. I highly recommend her, as well as the rest of the team at concept of movement if you’re looking for a physiotherapist.

B-rad Miller

Amazing staff from the minute you walk in, to everyone you run into while you are there. The results I have felt in me has boosted my confidence.

Dan Leonard

After suffering a rotator cuff injury, I visited Concept of Movement to get support to improve my condition. Following my assessment, Dax put together a self exercise plan combined with one on one training with Chris to focus on the specific area in need of attention. After a few weeks of care, the pain is now gone and the strength has returned to the injured location. A great experience overall! Many thanks to everyone at Concept of Movement!

RICHARD LALONDE

I have met with Joyce twice for a very sore ankle. She is friendly and gentle and I left both times feeling better than when I came in! She listens and communicates well and is patient with my difficulties. I left with a clear plan of things to do that will help. I am going back. I thank Joyce for her skill and expertise and recommend her to anyone with pain or injury!!

Holly Spring

I have been a client of Concept of Movement for the last 2 years, and have always been thoroughly impressed with my experience. The team is professional and knowledgeable and always willing to help. I highly recommend Concept of Movement.

Matthew Catling

I got recommended to concept of movement from Stephanie, and I was amazed on how beautiful this clinic was, they are friendly and I have had a positive experience.

Nick

I have tried a lot of things over the years. Between going to a standard everyday gym or home workout plans... None of which help unless you know how to move properly. Concept has helped me greatly in how to perform exercises properly. Personally I have been working with Tom and Matt and between the 2 of them I have found muscles I didn't even know existed in my body. If you are looking to feel better, and started moving like an athlete do yourself the favor and check out concept of movement. I went from being injured all the time to going to the gym 6 days a week injury free. Thank you guys!

jelane pryce

Great people, everyone's kind and helpful and are patient and explain the reason for each exercise. They are the best of the best and get to the root of the problem with my nagging injuries I've had for years! Everyone I worked with is solid and knows their stuff. Tom is super knowledgeable and has helped not only with my injuries but also in changing parts of my lifestyle that causing all the imbalances in my body! Money wellllllll spent! Even the video calls are solidddd!

Sandra Atkinson

My family have used CoM many times over the years for multiple injuries. Most recently I underwent double knee replacement surgery and with help from the trained staff at CoM, I have every confidence I will meet and exceed the recovery expectations. I could not reccomend a team of professionals more!

Penny Lynn

Went to COM with severe pain in my knee and was seen that day. Met Dax and he was able to suggest exercises and strategies in a couple of sessions. I also appreciated his explanation of the situation and his problem solving abilities. Thank you Dax!

Amanda Schmidt

I have been getting treated by Tom at Concept of Movement for many years now and I am always impressed by his ever expanding knowledge and ability to keep my body in check and functioning optimally. I have now come to take full advantage of the facility and am in the gym on a weekly basis with Kevin or Amanda working on a movement training program designed and personalized to meet my physical and movement needs. This integrative approach is amazing and is one that I would definitely recommend for anyone, whether you are an athlete or not. I truly look forward to my weekly visits to Concept of Movement, everyone there is always so happy and friendly, and the facility is clean, bright and welcoming. I am tremendously grateful to have a facility of this calibre here in Barrie!

Rita Minchella

This place is incredible. From physiotherapy, to massage therapy, they have you covered. The facility is clean and the environment welcoming. I highly recommend Concept of Movement for all of your physio and massage needs. Thanks, guys!!

Matilda Szotyori

Staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. Natalie is my physiotherapist. she is very knowledgeable and very eager to help. She is very positive and always there helpful. The facility is very clean, and modern. I highly recommend Concept of Movement. Matilda Szotyori RDH

philip eftovski

Highly recommend this place if you are an Automotive Mechanic, Daniel Zackodnik helped reduce my neck and lower back pains I have been experiencing for over a year immediately and after a month of finishing my sessions there, most days I don't even experience the pain anymore. I have my good and bad days at work but the good outweighs the bad by A LOT. I tell anyone who experiences body pain to use their benefits and go see these guys.

Shawn Bushey

The staff have been excellent and very helpful!! Very clean establishment that I highly recommend.

Max Laframboise

I suffered a brutal lower back injury out west, and had 0 results getting any better through physios in Calgary and one here in Barrie. It was recommended to me to see Tom. After only a few weeks of corrective movements and slowly strengthening related muscles, Toms therapies solved my lower back problems. To this day I utilize his philosophies in and out of the gym to prevent my injuries from reoccurring. Whenever I hurt, I see Tom and the team at Concept of Movement!

K Pihl

Physio therapy for most wether practitioner or patient is a trying test of patience, perseverance, and a desire to fix your ailments. Most don’t adapt, adjust or foresee the ever changing landscape from week to week and exercise to exercise. NATALIE ORNELLA however is a breath of fresh air and consummate professional, bringing a plethora of techniques (acupuncture, PEMF, ultrasound) and knowledge to help you fix your diagnosis, along with other issues you didn’t even realize you had. Individually she is legendary, but it’s bigger than that, as she is surrounded by the best of the best at CONCEPTS OF MOVEMENT. Right from the second you enter the space the energy is electric, from the front desk to the gym and work out zones, right through the ownership and practitioners everyone only settles once you’ve successfully passed your mission. All working together as a team to help you attain your highest Good. There attention to details and abilities are unmatched and I am honoured to have had the chance to have my life changed with your team.

Zack Jackson

If you want the best knowledge in the business and the most fun environment while getting active, I highly recommend going to COMphysio!! As a former semi-professional athlete who's seen countless gyms and professional trainers, I chose to spend most of my summers at COM because I loved every second of it. Not only did they get me in peak physical condition but they took the necessary steps to help quickly recover my body when I needed it. The best physio group in Barrie and beyond.

greg Flom

I can't believe how great real time video assessment and treatment worked for me. Just recently had what I thought was a back issue, Resolved over video conferencing with the amazing help of Tom. I couldn't believe how easy Tom made it to communicate and solve my pain at home. Turns out it was my hip, amazing what professional help can do. What a game changer. Thanks

Kim Gillanders

I have been to many physio/rehab/sports med clinics over the years, and since being under the expert care of Tom Swales following a car accident several years ago, there is nowhere else I go nor anyone else I recommend to my friends, family and even my doctors lol. Wonderful facility, and you're doing yourself a favour getting your treatment there.

Bernard Mayer

Great staff

Kerry Dixon

Amazing staff and services... I highly recommend them for your physio needs.... great massages too!

Alex Appleton

Amanda and Daniel were great to work with. Their exercise and stretching programs have helped me tremendously. All staff encounters were very friendly and professional. It has been very easy to work with with the COM team. I would highly recommend this place for anyone seeking physiotherapy.

Carla Beaton

Everyone is very friendly and helpful, very professional and knowledgable.

Ryan McKnight

Great atmosphere, great equipment and the best staff. Keep up the great work. I recommend Tom and his team often.

Anwar Yassin

One of the best Deep tissue massages, I've had in a while. Nikki worked on many of my back issues. I have so much better flexibility overall. She's a complete professional and very easy to converse with. I Would highly recommend her.

Jeremy Swanson

Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they take the time to educate you on what they are doing and why it works….and it works!

Angela

I’ve been attending Concept of Movement for several months dealing with some long standing issues. My physio Natalie has truly been amazing. She is knowledgeable, patient and kind. Her treatment plans are realistic and innovative and they have greatly improved my quality of life! I can’t say enough about how talented Natalie is and I highly recommend.

Sherri Brouwer

Love this team of people!! Comprehensive treatment plans aligned to my goals. Team based approach. Multi-faceted approach. Waleed and Kevin rock!

Jennifer Jones

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Sasha at Concept of Movement. I called every clinic and spa in Barrie seeking an experienced RMT who could provide post-surgery massage. Sasha was the only practitioner who called me back personally to ask about my particular needs & ensure I had clearance from my surgeon. Her commitment to safety & excellent care, combined with her immense knowledge & professionalism are outstanding. I was very anxious about having anyone work on me only a week after a surgery that affected about 40% of my body. Sasha was attentive, careful and answered all my questions (alleviating much of my anxiety). Further, when I mentioned I lived out of province, she offered to connect with my care provider here to share notes and did so promptly. Sasha went above and beyond in every conceivable way and gave me a remarkable experience. She truly cares about helping people and that is evident in both the work itself, and in her cheerful and pleasant demeanor.

Laura H

I’ve been a client at Concept of Movement for over two years and have benefited from the various services they have to offer including physiotherapy, athletic therapy and massage therapy. The various therapists and clinicians work as a team by communicating about client progress and treatment plans to ensure a directed approach towards recovery. The pandemic presented unique challenges however taking advantage of virtual appointments with Natalie ensured I did not lose traction with my recovery and maintenance plans. The telehealth appointments were a great alternative to hands-on treatment, the quality of care I have come to except from Concept of Movement was not lost even during these challenging times. I am so grateful to Natalie and all the staff at Concept of Movement for always going above and beyond.

Cynthia Chapman

I went to Concept Movement because I have osteoarthritis in my hip. I’ve seen Dax, a physiotherapist, a number of times now. He is absolutely wonderful. I have to say it has to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with any type of medical practitioner, certainly in the last 10 years at least. He is kind, empathetic, very professional and goes out of his way to be helpful. Doing something that causes you pain generally can be an unpleasant experience, which physio can inevitably be. However Dax is very skilled at his job and makes the process as pain free as possible. I’m thankful for having found him because he has helped me a great deal. Thank you Dax!!! ????

pam rhebergen

Walking in the door at Concept of Movement, is like walking into a family who cares about you and how you feel. The facility is warm and welcoming. My physiotherapist knows her stuff and has worked with me for 2+ years. She is the reason I keep coming back! She has helped me build my core strength after pregnancy, and helped recover from hip and knee pain. I love my visits to the clinic and their virtual appointments accommodate your busy schedule. Highly recommend Concept of Movement!

Sarah Mifsud

Professional, friendly and highly competent staff who always go the extra mile. GREAT service! Facility is aesthetically appealing. Would definitely recommend, and looking forward to future appointments.

Stephanie Moyle

Staff are great. I have been a client for over 3 years, due to a chronic condition. I am always greeted personally and it doesn't matter who I see, I am listened to and made to feel well-treated. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is truly motivated to be in the best physical health they can be in, regardless of their injuries or condition.

Nancy Small

I have been seeing Bruce M for physio treatments for a number of years. He is very knowledgeable and a great listener, always able to zoom in on my problem then quickly provide a solution. Next its my turn to do as he suggests. I highly recommend him!

Bryan Hayden

Wow! I had my assessment with Bruce - and I was very impressed , he is very smart, I feel excited and eager to continue my treatment with him. I also had a massage with Sasha and BEST massage I ever had, not only her technique but she’s also very knowledgeable. The admin staff is super friendly and helpful and made everything super easy for me - and the facility itself is very clean, they take Covid precautions very seriously and they offer virtual care for when I’m working on the road - I am extremely happy with my choice at concept of movement - hands down the best Barrie has to offer!

Martin Monteith

Just completed my third set of treatments over this past few years. I've always found the staff kind and helpful. Thankfully I've got relief from my injury and sore muscles, I highly recommend Thomas Swales and his team at Concept of Movement.

James Moreau

Tom has treated many of my issues over the years. He is always able to accurately diagnose and explain what the problem is in terms that make perfect sense to me. His treatments are very effective and the videos I am sent to help me remember how to do my “homework” properly are very helpful. I would highly recommend Tom and the other physiotherapists at Concept of Movement!

Joanne Rivet

The entire Staff at Concept of Movement, from the Admin. Staff to the Trainers to the Physiotherapists are very caring, well trained Professionals. It's the best Physiotherapy Clinic in Town.

Joan Martin

Joyce has treated me for lymphedema for almost a year now. She showed me how to do MLD on myself. Joyce helped me learn how to manage my lymphedema and now I only need to be treated by her every three months. I appreciate that Joyce is available if I need her treatment, but that her aim is to make me able to manage my condition.

Keith Wells

Natalie was thorough in her evaluation of my it band issue and has made a huge difference in my road to recovery. Very professional and excellent at what she does.

Pierre Gautier

Concept of Movement is fantastic! I'm able to obtain physio services followed by massage and strength/conditioning services based on the physio assessment that keep me active.

Pamela Jackson

Our whole family has had amazing experience at Concept of Movement!! From the gym to Physiotherapy. They have help heal and train us all!! The team at Concept are very knowledgeable, kind and up to date on all aspect of a healthier you!

Steve Van Leusen

My experience at Concept of Movement was great. I had the privilege of working with Dustin and the results I had after the very first session was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

A S

I was gifted a massage to Concept of Movement and left my appointment feeling incredible. The facility was incredibly clean and covid protocols were taken very seriously. I have certainly recommended to others and will be back again myself!

Christopher Jardine

Recently worked with Dax and Amanda and they were both fantastic to deal with. Would highly recommend.

J DeGroote

I have been working with both Natalie and Amanda for awhile now. Both are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to helping me heal my body. The clinic itself is very clean and the front staff are very friendly and always helpful. I highly recommend COMphysio.

Sara Dodman

Waleed was fantastic in helping me diagnose my issue with my knee. He is friendly and easy to talk with. I followed his recommendations and gave my feedback which he adjusted to as needed. I’m sad I won’t need to see him again as he was too good at his job!

Ashley Flippin

An amazing physiotherapy clinic. Staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Special thanks to Natalie, Kevin, and Paige for always going above and beyond with their care!
