Reviews of Root Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

J S

Sarah is an incredibly talented physiotherapist. She can even treat complex issues virtually, without having to set foot in her office! In the time I've known her, she has treated me for elbow, knee, back, and shoulder pain that other physiotherapists failed to treat. I'm starting to think there's nothing this woman can't fix. She's nothing like the lame physiotherapist who hooks you up to a machine and walks away for 40 minutes, so if you've had a negative physio experience in the past, don't let that deter you from contacting this master. Even if you don't live in Waterloo, do yourself a favour and book a virtual appointment with her. Thanks, Sarah!

Sarah is amazing at what she does! Her compassionate curiosity has helped me overcome several personal injuries that other physiotherapists just gave me cookie cutter solutions for (that didn’t work.) Sarah’s solutions are innovative, personalized, and EFFECTIVE! It’s such a relief to know I can rely on her to feel strong and pain free, and her encouragement and positivity are equally helpful. Every time I see her for a problem I can’t solve myself it seems like she’s learned something new, and to me a practitioner who wants to keep learning is such a valuable resource! It means they’re committed, and also it’s not boring! I feel comfortable referring clients to Sarah as they are always well cared for, and she’s great at giving me information that will help me work with them. They always tell me how great she is, but of course I know that already. ;)

I went to see Sarah about 2 months prior to Covid shut down. I had a frozen shoulder that was so painful, I wanted to rip my arm off. Sarah examined me, provided immediate relief and an array of excercises to help the shoulder become stronger and less painful. When Covid shut her office down, she continued to provide support virtually. She's now back to limited ours and is incredibly safe with huge precautionary measures. It was great to get back to healing my shoulder. Which has really made a miraculous recovery. I highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah is fantastic! I went to see her after 6 weeks of severe neck pain, and many unsuccessful trips to massage & acupuncture. Sarah quickly identified the underlying problem as a facet joint issue, rather than a muscular one, and through a combination of manual therapy and at-home physio exercises, most of the pain cleared up within the first two weeks. Two months later, I am now completely pain-free. Sarah is very knowledgeable about the body, and is a great communicator. She goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients are progressing. I followed the program that she designed for me, and now I feel great. Highly recommended!

It's very clear, when you visit Sarah at Root physio, that your positive experience is her priority. She is very passionate about what she does, genuinely cares about your well being and ensures that you have a healthy and successful recovery. She will listen to your concerns, ask the right questions, and go above and beyond your expectations. Dealing with Sarah has been a pleasure and if you want to get to the "Root" of your injury I highly recommend paying her a visit.

I had never gone to physiotherapy before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had taken up weightlifting recently but had found that certain movements were causing pain outside of the expected soreness. Sarah was able to not only diagnose the issue but develop a plan that has let me lift entirely without pain and with far better form than I would ever been able to have otherwise. Continuing to work with Sarah has left me in better health than I ever have been with less soreness than ever before. Plus yoga is a ton of fun.

I could not recommend Sarah more. She is a wealth of knowledge. Sarah took the time to actively listen and understand my multiple concerns. I left the office feeling confident with the time she put into my well being. She gave multiple exercises to incorporate into my daily life at home, at work and at the gym. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah is great! She helped me with my shoulder injury recovery. The physiotherapy sessions have been fun, interactive and I always learnt a new Pilates or Yoga move at the end of the session. Thank you Sarah for all your help and I really appreciate your care and support.

Sarah is an incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and caring physiotherapist. There are very, very few physiotherapists who can match Sarah's level of clinical skill - not to mention her amazing bedside manner - so do yourself a favour and book a session with her.
