Reviews of Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres - Etobicoke (Physiotherapist)

Chris Sackmann

Helpful and accommodating, highly recommended.

Marian Gibbons

The physiotherapy (Corey)and massage therapy (James) sessions helped me come through the acute phase of pain. And the repeat exercises at home keep me strong. Shortly after I was able to take a dream vacation PAIN FREE!

Jennifer Grant

The physiotherapist that I work with in this clinic is amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and i would highly recommend this clinic.

Kevin Wright

Shameek Patel was a pleasure to work with and quite knowledgeable. Helped me improve strength and mobility.

Karina Rojas

Excellent, professional, always on time

I've been going to Prateek for a few months now and find him both professional and punctual. The location is convenient and very clean. Great group of people!

Genevieve Anderson

Excellent.

fergus cook

I hurt my shoulder and was unable to play basketball and lift weights. Prateek has, in 2 months, completely gotten me back on track. I can’t say enough good things about Prateek’s knowledge and helpfulness. Highly recommend.

Sogol Fathian

I went to Bloor clinic and saw Shameek for wrist pain that I developed after pregnancy. Shameek has been friendly professional and helpful. He provided a range of exercises for me to do and patiently answered my questions and now my hand is thankfully much better. I definitely recommend him and this clinic

Sharon Edwards

I saw Prateek back in December 2020 for a very bad sprain I’d had for a week. He sent me off to get an X-ray before he would proceed & yup I’d broken my fibula! Got back to see him March & I’m almost walking without a limp now???? Prateek is very knowledgeable, empathetic & patient. I couldn’t possibly have recovered this quickly without him or I would still be walking around on my broken ankle & would have ended up needing surgery. I highly recommend him & the staff here. The Covid19 protocols at the clinic make me feel completely safe going in for treatment.

Jeffrey Forrest

Fantastic experience. Prateek has been excellent in treating lower back pain.

Melanie O'Donovan

If you’re looking for someone who will take a hands on approach to physio I would highly recommend Athletes Care. From Prateek, Victoria every member of staff is kind and takes your needs into consideration! For people who have never done physio before this is the perfect place to learn lifelong practices to improve your physical health.

B FU

This is the most consistent and high level of service that I had for physio and RMT. Romy is my RMT for the past several years and he is excellent, highly skilled, genuinely cares for his patients, goes the extra mile with the thorough assessments , caring approach, and care with recommending exercises for post treatment to maintain benefits or treat the issue . I highly recommend Romy for everyone including those that are current or former athletes, or those that are active but dealing with complex and chronic issues that limit your activities.

Carol Krismer

I have chronic hip pain from overuse of muscles, the tightness of which is also causing bursitis in my hip. I saw Dr. Ahluwalia earlier this week. He was perfunctory and dismissive. I have been struggling with this condition for more than two months and he didn't offer any discussion as to what caused it or how best to treat it (ice? heat? rest? stretching? ibuprofen?). He did write me a prescription for physio and massage therapy, but I didn't need that prescription.

Vicente Llanos

I had to go for physio here for like 6 months due to an injury I had in the tendon of my adductor. I got this injury playing soccer. I had been playing for like about a year with the injury. The guy who was in charge of the physio (Corey Persic) was very professional and had an exercise plan. I had to admit that I went there with some skepticism at the beginning. Nonetheless I followed all the exercise routines I was given. 6 months later I was proved wrong and I was back to playing soccer. Today, 8 months later after my last physio, I am back to playing at a competitive level again :)

Caleb McNevin

Great experience! Corey took time and care to diagnose the problems with my knee, and gave me effective exercises to improve it. Not only am I able to walk without pain, I'm back to running! Thanks Corey!

Amrit Singh

It's a good clinic. Just wished they would sent email reminders (a day before and the day of appointment). Even when I added appointment in my calendar I still missed it. This is free and easy to setup with our current technology so I don't understand why it is not done. Overall, service is good. Polite workers.

tash campbell

Great staff

Anna Visocca

I have issues with my knee, and I have a frozen shoulder. Cory assessed the situation and carefully and professionally set up in clinic exercises as well as in home exercises. At the beginning of each session, he reviews how I feel, how many times I did the in home exercises, and then proceeds with the physio. I have been to other clinics and I find this one the best. I am looking forward to getting better with Cory’s help.

scott gilligan

Received excellent care and service from this Centre, payment processing through insurance provider and ease of getting an appointment top notch

Amber Zhao

My family doctor suggested this place for my back issues, Prateek was my physiotherapist, at my first visit I couldn’t even walk or bend over because my back was in so much pain and my core strength is extremely weak from my c-section. After a few visited I was able to get out of bed easily and can start some body weight exercise! Staffs are very friendly and easy to talk to! Highly recommended!

Wouter Germans

Working with Romy on my back and shoulder. Knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. Great work from a great person.

Kim McPeake

Prateek is very knowledgeable, would highly recommend!

rob sadeghi

My injuries stem from a 2017 snowboarding incident and previous car accidents that I had not attended to until this year. The result of this has led me to chronic pain all throughout the cervical spine, upper back, shoulders and head which are directly correlated with the nerves. Prateek has begun to reset my nervous system and introduce new movements that my body had formed against. Our bodies naturally protect said areas when encountering trauma, hence, the importance of a knowledgeable therapist to address that accordingly. He has done a great job accounting for the sensitivity around tension areas and has made the process very seamless with significant tracked results. I will continue to see Prateek after full recovery, even if it's once a month for overall bodily benefits.

Andrew Joseph

I brought my teen aged son in to take care of a sore lower back issue that had been plaguing him for months from either baseball or hockey (goalie). While other treatments from other sources came and went, a single visit with Romy at Athlete's Care Etobicoke found the heart of the issue, and after an intense deep-tissue massage with indepth stretching instruction for home, my son's issues all but disappeared. It did take a couple of more visits to resolve it - but the point is, it was resolved. I then went in to take care of a shoulder issue, again, after one session, my pain was resolved, with mobility mostly resolved (I can throw a ball again!). I, too, also received indepth exercises to perform at home (all patients, from what I observed, received exercises to do at home), and remained pain-free through me seeing Romy again two weeks later. The shoulder pain remains a thing of the past, though like any therapy, one visit alone - regardless of how good one feels afterward - is not enough. I don't want the issue to come back... as such, a couple more treatments should do the trick. The thing is, Romy and the other at Athlete's Care Etobicoke are very professional, fun to chat with, and really know how to get at the heart of your issue. If you are looking for a superb deep tissue massage that, for us, provided quick and effective results, I recommend the services of Athlete's Care. Just don't neglect to do the exercises on your own afterwards!

Nikki

Slow services, lack of services. Arrived on time. Staff is unfriendly. They didn't validate me. when I arrived

Gwenda Lambert

After a fall at the beginning of the summer, I have been pleased with the progress Prateek and I have made getting back to regular movement. He is a nice balance of gentle guidance and get moving that worked for me.

Michael Sch

Prateek is technically outstanding resulting no doubt from being an excellent student. He applies his knowledge in the most gentle manner and skill. You are in good hands with him, no matter what the malady.

Me Too

Very satisfied and thankful for the progress made in rehabilitating my leg injury. Prateek applied a very reasonable and effective approach in assisting in the healing and strengthening process. I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, knowledge and guidance during this challenging time.

Alex G

I have been twice now to this clinic and Prateek has really helped me with my long term shoulder and neck pain, before sitting at the computer most days was extremely painful but after just two sessions I can feel the mobility and sensation return to normal in my neck and shoulder. Very very happy I decided to try out this clinic and how helpfull & professional Prateek has been with the treatments. 100% would recommend to anyone thinking about starting physio.

Noah Levin

I saw Prateek for an injury that was plaguing me for a year and a half. I went to another physio who was unable to help me, but Prateek was able to accurately diagnose me and provide me with exercises for a complete recovery. I would recommend Prateek to anyone with sports related injuries.

Franco Rugosi

Always on time, professional and very good at his job

Marta and Joel

I was recommended Athlete's Care by a family member due to debilitating hip pain I was experiencing after having my second child. Prateek was able to alleviate the pain after just one session and he took the time and patience to determine the root cause of all my other lower body aches that have been with me most of my adult life. Seeing him was a game changer. Couldn't be more thankful to him and the exercises he taught me in order to help me continue to fix and heal myself.

EJinTheStream

It was a great experience and I made a lot of progress in a short period of time! I can’t thank them enough

김만석

I don't know what they are doing I was waiting for an appointment 3 months then I met specialist and talked 3minutes and have to be an appointment for therapy. I have to work totally I waited 5months include meeting of family doctor I have been physiotherapy before specialist but I have to do same thing with specialist for 2 months he said. They need money only I think. POOR!!!!

Nata P

Shameek was helping in my recovery from a lower back problem. From day one he was able to quickly establish the cause and worked with me thoroughly until the pain was gone. He is a true expert of his field, and a very friendly person overall. Thank you!

Anthony

Great staff! Had physio with Prateek, he was very professional and knowledgeable. Worked on my back and lower body and have been feeling much better. Will continue to book here

russell baigent

Friendly and very professional staff made me feel at ease even during these difficult covid times. Shameek brought me to full recovery with my knee. I would highly recommend Shameek, his knowledge and patience got me back running and playing tennis. Victoria was great also making every visit safe and easy .

Oksana Stepczuk

Prateek (physiotherapist) is friendly and professional. I felt much better after my very first visit. He follows up treatments with recommended exercises. Definitely recommend.

Steve B

The fantastic staff at this clinic are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Prateek in particular, who has been helping me with elbow issues, has been nothing but professional and courteous. I'd definitely recommend this clinic to any one of my friends.

Jimmy Bender

I went to see Shameek Patel after injuring my calf while running. He was very helpful and provided me with care and exercises to strengthen my injured muscle. After a few weeks of seeing him, I am now able to run again! Thanks Shameek!

Andrew Kooren

I worked with Shameek for a few weeks while addressing a knee issue. He was able to identify the underlying issue and give me a bunch of exercises that have helped improve the issue.

vic vadauskas

I was very pleased to report to Athlete's Care to have Prateek work on my shoulder pain issues. He used a variety of techniques to help me with my pain.

Sasha Dahl

During this lockdown I was having trouble accessing medical care for an issue with one of my finger joints which was causing pain and affecting my hand mobility. I feel fortunate that I was able to come under the care of Dr. Hsu. His patient care is outstanding and I appreciated his kind and patient manner in answering all of my questions. He completed a very thorough assessment and examination and quickly followed up with diagnostic tests. I had the required follow up procedure in his office and he took the time to explain the procedure and what I should expect afterward. It was very refreshing to receive such high quality patient care. I also appreciated Victoria’s professional administrative help in efficiently booking my appointment and follow up care. The clinic space is welcoming, neat, and clean and I felt safe coming into the clinic for my appointments. I am appreciative that Athlete’s Care has remained open and accessible to patients during the pandemic. Their health care providers have provided patients with important care and services which have been difficult to access from family doctors.

Nathan Bender

I’ve enjoyed the friendly service and my shoulder has received excellent gains in it’s range of motion and reduction in pain. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs Physio and is living or working in the Royal York/Islington area.

David

I've seen Shameek for several months, for a shoulder and bicep injury, and he's been excellent! Thankfully, with his expertise and recommended exercise program, I'm finally getting past the injury and I couldn't more highly recommend him. I also saw Dr. Rao there for a cortisone shot and he was great too!

seth hilarice

The people who work there are friendly, helpful and professional.

Jen Grant

I highly recommend Shameek for physiotherapy. After suffering from chronic shoulder pain and limited mobility in both shoulders I am now well on my way to having full mobility and almost no pain. I’m thrilled to be able to get back to all my regular activities!!

Ahsan Kafeel

I had a recent lower back injury that I was dealing with and wanted effective relief. I had the opportunity to have an assessment with Prateek, he was very knowledgeable and took the time to understand my pain points. I have visited the clinic twice now and will defenitely come back. Very clean as well especially in this time.

Peter Eccleton

Excellent care from Shameek Patel. Appreciate the series of exercises he designated to allow ongoing self care. Would not hesitate to seek Shameek's assistance in future, if required.

Jim Anderson

Very happy with the treatment Shameek provided to me for a severed banged up shoulder. His explanations of treatment procedures were clear and his skill in administering them was confidence inspiring. Shameek gave me a series of exercises to do at home and these were added to over time. The bottom line: I continue to make steady progress under this regiment and have a clear way forward. Bravo Shameek!

Shahid Rashid

The clinic is very good and the physiotherapist Prateek has helped me incredibly. Highly recommend this clinic.

jason caine

I've been to a few phyiso locations in the area and this is by far the best, friendly staff, onsite physician, and great availability for treatment. My therapist Prateek is very knowledgeable, helpful, and very easy to communicate with helps make the treatment more successful.

Jennifer Schwartz

Prateek is an awesome PT, have been working with him for a while for a broken leg and have been getting great results, all goals on track!

Michael Nguyen

Prateek is amazing, he has helped me rehab both my shoulder and knees. I would highly recommend!

David Oikawa

Great care and professional service. The front office staff is always friendly and polite. I've had excellent treatments for two different issues from my physiotherapist Prateek, who patiently responds to my many questions! He is always ready to go the extra mile! Highly recommended.

Annamaria Pezzo

My first experience with the physio therapist went well He’s very informative and explained everything I’m going through with great detail and pictures He was gentle when doing the physio too. Mr. Prateek is flexible, reliable, excellent with his gentle touch, he takes his time to explain step by step the process as he’s working on your physical needs to get you healed effectively.

Colm Brennan

Prateek is very knowledgeable and professional, I would highly recommend Athlete’s care at the Kingsway.

Jeremy Lopez

Have been seeing Prateek for elbow pain for about a month--a very positive experience all around! Diagnosis of the problem was clear and precise, in-office therapy is really effective, and home exercises are as well. Pain was reduced almost immediately. I expect problem will be solved in the timeframe Prateek indicated--and that he'll give me clear direction for making sure it doesn't recur. Highly recommended!

G W

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shameek helped me recover from a frozen shoulder. I would recommend this place to others!

Rath K

I highly recommend physiotherapy here, I've been seeing Shameek for just under a year and have seen significant improvements in nagging injuries due to sport by restoring hip mobility and glute strength.

Eva Mazzei

Highly recommend this place! Thank you Shameek for helping me with my shoulder. So knowledgeable and professional!

Andrea Thornton

Shameek was very helpful and reassuring. I was very grateful to see him today and I already see some improvement. I plan to see him twice a week for the next while and I am very confident he'll be able to help with my issues.

Ahmed Mudathir

I’d been dealing with an elbow injury for a while that was lingering. Prateek took the time to explain to me why my injury happened and how to prevent it. A good amount of time during my sessions was physical treatment, which made me feel physically better. Afterwards, I got some exercises to strengthen, which I found to be effective. Prateek also regularly followed up with me to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend this clinic based on my experiences there and I would highly recommend Prateek.

Komul Bedi

Jayzel did an amazing job listening to my health issues and responding to my chronic pain-related needs. She discussed and worked with me the entire time to ensure I was getting the support and relief I needed which I really appreciated. She ensured that I was comfortable the entire time and was just very pleasant of a person overall. She also offered me great suggestions on how I can better manage my pain on my own as well. I felt substantially better by the end of my 90 minute deep tissue massage with her and had a good amount of pain relief afterwards as well. To this end, I have already booked another appointment with her again and I definitely will continue coming back to Jayzel with her professional and high quality of service.

Neil Richardson

The BEST therapy for my shoulder after surgury , GREAT JOB EVERYONE AT THIS FACILITY !

Simon Windebank

Shameek has done a great a job. He starting working with me after I suffered a serious injury and he has helped me heal throughout the process. Starting with initial identification of the injury through to getting surgery and the recovery after surgery to get me back to full strength. Highly recommended.

Big Lewbowski

I researched several physiotherapy clinics before choosing Athletes Care and i am extremely happy with the quality of treatments i am receiving. I receive email reminders for my appointments as well as great exercise plans that i can use at home. Very professional and hands on. After a few sessions, i already have better mobility and range of motion of my leg. Very professional staff. thank you

Secretary Victoria also very professional and helpful. This is the perfect place for enyone who would like to improve their physical health. Great service !

Gerard Noone

I had right shoulder pain from a torn rotator cuff .and my doctor sent me to Bloor Street Athlete's Care. Prateek was professional, friendly and non-judgmental, and with massage and exercises my shoulder vastly improved so I am able to get back to gardening. Prateek's concern for his patients is evident by his care for them. This is a highly skilled clinic.

Lorna Storm

The therapists at Athlete's Care provide excellent treatment. They listened carefully to my description of my symptoms and designed their treatments based on my needs. My feedback on the treatment and exercises was taken into consideration and my care was adapted accordingly.
