Reviews of Kensington Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic (Physiotherapist)

Ashley Jane Leonard

I highly recommend Kensington Physiotherapy. Gord accurately diagnosed and help correct a persistent older knee injury, which had been misdiagnosed by another practitioner. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, and took the time to answer all of my questions.

Gord and his team are amazing. The front staff were warm and welcoming. Gord took the time to actively involve me in my healing. He explained all the exercises that needed to be done and did a great job in fixing my back and shoulders and addressing my healing process. His treatment plan was great, he even accommodated me to include migrane treatments even though I did not include migrane issues in my initial assessment. I truly appreciated this as his knowledge in acupuncture is magical. I have yet to experience migraines again and It has been 5 months since his last treatment for migraines. Very much appreciate your dedication Gord, thank you!

Chase Anderson

Very friendly and professional practice, Gord helped me get back on my feet after a knee surgery and gave me great advice for getting back to normal! The man knows his stuff.

Dan Lane

Saw Gord for a thoracic nerve impingement. He assessed me thoroughly, diagnosed the problem, immediately started treatments which included home stretching/exercises and in-clinic treatments. Throughout the time he was a pleasure to talk to, provided me constant updates on my progress and trajectory, and advanced my home exercises as was appropriate for my progress. It was easy to get in for urgent appointments when issues arose, and he was happy to tell me when I didn't need to come back for more treatments. I have subsequently referred friends and patients to this clinic.

AMAZING!!!! Is the best word.. Without Gord Dewar and his amazing staff I'd be in a wheel chair!!! Over the past 5 yrs of referrals into Sports Medicine at the U of C and Dr Mark Heard in Banff, Gord's diligent process and contacts made it all happen..His knowledge of my injuries and how to make things happen has been nothing short of a miracle for me! Through this process of surgeries, Physio, acupuncture and Gord's constant genuine care I have gone from barely being able to walk to feeling like I'm 35 again or better.. I'm now 51 yrs old and feeling amazing!!! All because of Gord Dewar and his incredible team!!! Thank you so much, there is no way I can ever say thank you enough... I recommend Kensington Physio all the time! If you are looking for consistent accurate and caring people who want to help you recover, call them and follow their process to recovery!!! I know it works and will be eternally grateful for giving me back my health!!! thk you so much!!! cheers Calvin

I can't say enough about Gord and his team at Kensington Physiotherapy. Everyone knows your name and cares about how things are going with you. The service was exceptional with high performance results and knowledge. I have never had a better physio experience than I did with Kensington Physiotherapy. I highly recommend their services.

Alexander Ed. Adams

Great experience with all of the staff. My quaility of life has drastically improved and I hope that others will also reach the same by coming here.

Laura Roa

I made an appointment for physio as I had plantar fasciitis. When I came in Gord said the best solution for that was custom orthotics, right away he took a foam casting of my feet and I got my orthotics within two weeks in time for my trip. Price for orthotics was very reasonable compared to other places and they helped me with all the documentation I needed for my insurance. Very satisfied with the excellent service, extremely friendly, professional and effective staff. Highly recommend! I have been using my orthotics for about a month now and my heel pain has gotten much better :)

The staff and therapists here are very kind and knowledgeable! Gord worked with my comfort level through the healing process of a broken bone.

Ken Bissonette

Gord's team is professional and since going for repair on my shoulder, Gord has giving outstanding help on getting my strength back in my very damaged shoulder and bicep. Thank you Kensington Physio team. ????????

Angelique MacLeod

I came in the other day for treatment on my knees as I put them out in a marathon during the summer. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the physiotherapy worked like a charm! I can't tell you how many places I've gone to get this worked on with little improvement. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Will be coming back and telling all my friends!

GetMy Group

Treatments at this clinic were over time and with listening to the exerciser program set out at home as well as the in-house treatment, this clinic worked for my injury.

Savannah Koran

I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for physiotherapy. I chose them as they are close to home after I was in a car accident. The whole team has been very helpful, besides convenient appointment times Gord and Anne have really helped me get mobility back!

Jeneen Armstrong

Gord has helped me numerous times with physiotherapy and acupuncture. I returned from Hawaii with a back injury, barely able to move. He was able to fit me in right away and with one physio treatment I was much better. With some physio exercises and a couple more treatments I was as good as new. I have also been seeing him for immune boosting acupuncture for several years now. I usually start my treatments in October and try to fit in 3-4 acupuncture sessions in before Christmas. I am an elementary teacher and am exposed to many many germs daily. With acupuncture immune boosting I have managed to remain healthy, even when surrounded by sick staff and students. I would highly recommend immune boosting to everyone. Gord is professional and helpful and always willing to accommodate my schedule. I highly recommend both physio and acupuncture from him.

Sean Maier

The staff is friendly and communicative. Gord was my physiotherapist, and he was knowledgeable and happy to explain what he was doing and why.

Although everyone working there provided friendly and excellent customer service, I found the treatment to be along the lines of a band aid for an underlying problem. After 5-6 treatments without any real progress I switched and am feeling better after 2 sessions with a different physio. The treatments had a very impersonal feeling to them, as he treated between 2-3 clients in every 15 - 20 minute session. He was nothing but friendly to me, and seemed knowledgeable as my latter physiotherapist agreed with his diagnosis but was wondered by his choice of actions to remedy. He may be able to help you, but my advice would be to switch sooner then I did if you notice no real progress. Try U of C sports medicine

Glenn Morrison

After what I thought was a minor wrist injury from lifting, the pain dragged on for months. I struggled to open doors, type on a keyboard or other basic things. I was lucky enough be referred to Gord by a close friend. He was able to take some fo the pain away immediately and after several weeks my wrist is finally back to normal. I have full range of motion and no pain when working out. Highly recommend!

Brett Lovas

After fracturing my upper humerus in a biking accident, my entire arm was immobile for months. When Gord started my physio, I had little use of my arm. After a few weeks of treatment and Gord's prescribed exercises, my arm/shoulder is now fully functional again. Thank you very much, Gord!

Tami V

I went to Gord a few years ago when I had a slight tear in my pectoral muscle and couldn't raise my arm higher then my chest. After a few treatments I was able to move again and heal. About a month ago I started experiencing sciatica pain and could barely move my leg; there wasn't a second thought on where I was going for treatment! Thanks for the tune-up again Gord and staff!

Jim McDonald

Great experience here. The team is talented and easy to work with. Highly recommend Kensington Physio.

Amber Porter

Highly recommended if you need physio. Gord does a great job taking care of his patients - friendly, always explains everything clearly, and sincerely wants you to get better.

J B

Gord has completely cured three separate injuries of mine over about 8 years. He's a great physiotherapist and acupuncturist and I would recommend him to anyone.

Heather Rogers

Gord is the best physiotherapist I have visited! Highly recommend him & the friendly staff at Kensington.

Zak Robart

When I came to the Kensington Physiotherapy and Acupuncture Clinic I had recently had a diagnosis of a torn ACL from a local specialist. When I went to get a second opinion Gord said it was a slight tear in the upper Horne region of the meniscus. I got a private MRI done as I am an avid golfer and needed to know if I could play the up comming season. The results were exactly as Gord had stated and he helped me with a speedy recovery. Overall my experience surpassed my expectations and since then I have referred this clinic to friends, family and coworkers. I highly recommend their services.

Sue Girling

I can't say enough great things about this place and specifically the physiotherapist, Gord. I had a near death, crippling accident and wasted a year and a half at another clinic, and then was referred to this clinic. I went from a severely handicapped, mobility impaired person to being given back my quality of a healthy, active life. I am pretty sure I would have never recovered without Gord's level of knowledge and pain management, and thank God he has never retired as I seem to keep being on the receiving end of idiot drivers. Thank YOU Gord Dewar!!!

Nate Neufeld

Gord and the crew are great - from front staff all the way to treatment. I have come to Gord for a couple things over the years, from back to Achilles issues, all treated professionally. Effective treatment is combined with clear guidance on how to be an active participant in my healing. Very much appreciate your help Gord, thank you! Recommended all the way.

Miranda Bondi

I highly recommend Gord and his team. After dislocating my knee cap and tearing ligaments he took the time answer all my questions and help create a plan for recovery. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and did an amazing job.

Brock Hooton

Terrific staff! Very friendly and accommodating. My lower back was in such a bad state that my day to day life was becoming very compromised. After two visits a week for a few weeks Gord had me back to 100%. He pinpointed the injury immediately and also gave me a few stretches that have kept the injury from returning. Great experience.

Brian Smolik

I had previously been to another clinic and had been experiencing continual swelling in my knee after replacement surgery, Gord had me in for half a dozen treatments and I am happy to say my knee is 100% better. Gord and his team are very friendly, professional and they are up to date on all the latest therapy techniques. I would highly recommend Kensington Physiotherapy !!

Julei Dau

I highly recommend this spot. My experience has been nothing but great. Gord has been amazing during my recovery. Very professional, provided an amazing service and friendly.

Donald Hier

I found with Gord's vast experience, he is able to very quickly evaluate/identify the problem, then develop a relevant and effective treatment plan. I've had other clinics start treatments and then later realize that, that wasn't even the problem!! I now go directly to Kensington Physic for the "correct" diagnosis and treatment.

Mark Vanryzewyk

i recently had work done on a shoulder worked on and as always Gord has the experience to correct the damage he has fixes knees for me in the past and years after i have had no issues , i have been to other physio clinic over the years but none of them gave me the results i get from Gord

Benjamin Layton

I agree with earlier comment on physiotherapy. Very unhelpful and rudimentary - 6 months later and i have had to restart my therapy with another clinic.

Katherine Schieck

Kensington Physio has a wonderful, knowledgeable staff.

Annam Khan

I have come for about 5 sessions for pain in the knees and i have now felt much better. It also student friendly for people who don’t have insurance either.

Sophie Gowsell

I have been going to see Gord for over five years now. Gord is a great physio, especially if you are an athlete. I swim and play rugby and have had my fair share of injuries. Gord has helped me with lower back, shoulder, neck, and knee issues. Every time I go he fixes my injuries for the long-term. All of the staff at the clinic are super friendly and it is a clean and inviting environment.

Shayne Keel

The acupuncture treatment from Kensington Physio was so great. Since I've been there my arthritis hasn't been bothering me nearly as much as before. I'm definitely keeping up with my treatments. Thanks Kensington Physio!

Renee Cole

The staff at Kensington Physio are very knowledgeable and explained the best solution for my injury. I had sprained my ankle playing volleyball, after only a few treatments my ankle was strong enough for me to return to the court, my ankle feels stronger and more secure than it had prior to seeing Gord. I can't thank him and the staff enough at Kensingto Physio for getting me back on court!!

Sally Naidoo

I've used Gord for many years for numerous different injuries. He's been excellent at getting me back in shape to pursue the activities I enjoy. Highly recommended.

Ron Ens

I am an ex-national team endurance athlete. After retirement I had a lower back issue that had been irritating me. Over the years two family doctors, two MRI's, referral to orthopedic surgeon, referral to a back specialist and all did not have a solution or that I just had to live with it. I decided to try physio again and Gord took me on. After a couple of weeks my back is so much better and finally functioning normally again. I can't say enough about his efforts - go to Gord.

brenda rogers

Gord treated me for plantar fasciitis then ordered custom orthodics. Very pleased with the results in a very timely manner. Would recommend this clinic if you require physio.

France Poulain

Booked an appointment apprx. 2-3 weeks ago and the first they had available was this morning at 11. I asked on the phone if they did direct billing and said that I had benefits through school. The woman I spoke with confirmed that direct billing would be available as long as I brought my insurance information to my first appointment. I showed up 15 minutes early today so I could fill out any necessary forms before my appointment. I completed all the forms and then handed everything to the receptionist along with my benefits information and then she told me that they didn't do direct billing for students. I wasn't able to go ahead with the appointment as I obviously hadn't planned to pay for it myself today. It's pretty unacceptable to be giving clients incorrect information about billing practices. It was not miscommunication, but misinformation. I only gave 2 stars because I can't speak to the services themselves.

Sent my dad here for low back pain. Was not assessed by Gord. He did not look at range of motion, did not do any neurological testing despite the fact that my dad described having shooting, electric like pains down into his leg. All he did was put my dad on an interferential current machine (electromodality), walked away and told him that it was back pain. What he failed to tell my dad was the literature and research does not support the use of electromodalities. What a way to earn money. Scamming at it's best. Avoid this place at all costs if you actually want to get better.

Grace Bogowicz

Gord was a great physio- he was patient, kind, and funny, and an expert in his field. Great bedside manner with years of experience, it's clear he's passionate about what he does and about healing his clients. Would 100% recommend Kensington Physio.

Brian Thorlacius

Wow- Gord Dewar does fabulous work! Broke my shoulder 3 years ago and orthopedic surgeon said I may never get back mobility to before break ,and another young physio therapist said there was nothing more they could do except give me exercises. Since seeing Gord he has got me back to almost 100% range of motion through him working on my arm, using his wonder machine to stimulate it and exercises. Highly recommended clinic- Thanks Gord!! Brian Thorlacius

JIM MALDANER

My experience, and that of many friends and associates, is that Gord and his certified professional staff are very adept at analysing, identifying and treating "what ails you"! The high standards of service and dedication to excellence has optimised my quality of life and besides that they are mighty fine people!
