I had the pleasure of meeting with Aaron Stewart 3 times over the course of the past 4 weeks as my doctor referred me to Cornerstone due to issues I have been experiencing issues with my vestibular system. The treatment I have received by Aaron goes far above and beyond what my expectations were. She was kind, thoughtful, patient, exceptionally knowledgeable and very caring. When I walked into Cornerstone initially I had no idea what was happening to me. I knew I was dizzy, felt horrible and was honestly very scared. She explained what was happening with me, taught me exercises to help me deal with crazy situation and instructed me as to what my next steps should be. I highly recommend Cornerstone to anyone looking for a wonderful group of physiotherapists.
A few months of sitting at my dining room table working from home got me a trapped nerve - thoracic outlet syndrome. Giacomo was so very helpful by giving me a few exercises to do. I'm grateful to the attention he paid to my pain and situation which resulted in a speedy recovery. The reception staff were very helpful and maintained great standards for COVID protection. These guys ARE GREAT!!
Cornerstone physiotherapy is wonderful. The office is organized and friendly, and the care I'm getting there is excellent. I recommend it most highly.
I had a great experience at Cornerstone through more than one injury over the years. I enjoyed my experience with Hayley. She's a knowledgeable and patient physiotherapist, and a good teacher. I am completely recovered but with what I learned from Hayley, I will bring that knowledge forward and will continue to use some of the exercises on an ongoing basis because they are good preventive practice. Thank you!
Ala went above and beyond, not only helping me with my injury, but helping me navigate other areas of the healthcare system I needed to utilize for the injury. I highly recommend the clinic and staff at cornerstone.
Great facility and great service!
Giacomo was great, he repaired my shoulder and knee issues. Can't thank him enough, I would recommend him to anyone.
I sprained my ankle badly and my Dr. recommend physiotherapy. A friend of mine recommended Cornerstone. My therapist was Jordan Fortuna. Jordan provided amazing physiotherapy and had me back doing my regular activities in no time ! He followed up with me after every session and even now that my ankle is better he continues to check in with me to see how I’m doing. I highly recommend Jordan at Cornerstone Physiotherapy !!! Thank you so much Jordan!!
My GP referred me to Cornerstone, when my knee seized up in the middle of the Covid lockdown, so physio was strictly virtual. But Jocelyn McEachern is a virtual wonderwoman, in every sense - not only were her diagnosis and exercises brilliant and effective, helping correct lingering back problems as well as the knee, she was so caring, patient and helpful that it was almost as if she were there in person. Many thanks, five-star all around.
Love Cornerstone Physio! My PT, Ala, has helped me with a shoulder and hip injury. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and helps you achieve all your goals. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.
Jocelyn at Cornerstone Physiotherapy was amazing...I had 10 sessions with her and i was cured...she was very courteous and professional...extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable...I would go back there in a heart beat for any future physiotherapy related issues!! Thanks Jocekyn????
I had an acute back injury a few months ago. My physiotherapist Alex was super timely and helpful. Alex was very patient with me and was really good at explaining my exercises. Because of Covid restrictions, our sessions were online. Despite that, I received amazing care and walked away with tools to help me with injury prevention in the future. The booking and payment structures were easy to use, and the staff were friendly. I would highly recommend!
Haley is very knowledgeable. She listened to my needs each session in order to tailor the treatments for my goals and issues. She informed me very well about how to continue the exercises at home and at the gym. She was also very personable and welcomed questions and feedback. Highly recommend.
I recently had my second experience of Cornerstone Physiotherapy, again at their College Station location (Carlton & Yonge), and once again was thoroughly pleased with the experience. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful, and maintain all the recommended COVID protocols. My previous physiotherapist had left the city so this time I was privileged to work with Jocelyn, who quickly diagnosed my painful knee as a torn meniscus. The experience was again professional and very helpful. At each of my visits she tested my flexibility & pain levels, manipulated my knee to help the healing process, and give me a series of exercises to perform at home to strengthen the knee and facilitate the overall process. In the end my knee feels good as new & I’m very pleased with the results and the entire experience.
An excellent healing environment that is up to date with international standards. I am benefitting from the Vestibular Theraputic Techniques with Joon Nah. Compassionate, supportive and outstanding in his field.
I have nothing but incredible things to stay about the staff at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. After sustaining two lumbar disk bulges from a fairly physically demanding job as an ICU Nurse, my family doctor recommended that I go to Cornerstone Physiotherapy. When I first met Rana, I couldn't stand up straight, walk for more than 10 minutes, or lift anything more than 5 pounds without severe pain - I honestly thought I my career was over. Not only was Rana fantastic in helping me gain strength, get rid of the pain, get my range of motion back, and start moving again, but he also helped motivate and encourage me in my recovery. I was amazed that, after my appointments, Rana would send me e-mails with images and descriptions of the exercises that we had added to my recovery plan. I had some rather rough days throughout my recovery, and everyone I dealt with at Cornerstone Physiotherapy was reassuring and genuinely supportive. Rana was my advocate in dealing with WSIB and my workplace, and he pushed for my safe return to work based on my pace of healing. Once appropriate, we incorporated massage into my therapy, and I started seeing Matt. It was so beneficial to have all treatments in one place because Rana and Matt would communicate about what areas for massage would work best in conjunction with the physio. The staff at the front desk are all so friendly and professional, and it was so convenient that they bill directly to insurance companies. I couldn't have gotten through this ordeal without them!
Alex was my physiotherapist. I came to get help with an old ankle injury, and he was super. His advice and support were incredibly helpful, and he set me up with exercises and skills that not only helped me rebuild my strength and flexibly, but will help me stay strong and avoid re-injuring myself. I really appreciated the Alex's - and the whole team's - attention to safety and hygiene protocols during COVID lockdown. The office is clean and well ventilated, and I felt safe and comfortable the entire time.
very convenient location, prompt responses for the calls any time . had a great sessions with Jocelyn McEachern . go back for sure
I broke my wrist this winter, and after having the cast removed I had almost no mobility in my dominant hand. Physio had been recommended, but I had been largely skeptical about using it. Boy, was I wrong! I have been seeing Jocelyn McEachern at Cornerstone Physiotherapy, and my expectations have been exceeded in every possible way! Although physio is still ongoing, I have regained most of the strength and flexibility in my hand and wrist, with expectation that I will regain all (or nearly all) over the course of time. I am no longer a young man (I will be 49 this year), so I no longer recover as swiftly as I once did. Without Jocelyn's help, I very much doubt that I would have as much use of my hand as I now do. Support staff, including reception and scheduling, is top-notch. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Yes, you will be given home exercises to do. One or two sessions a week is not going to restore your mobility. You will need to work at it on your own time. Even so, there is no doubt in my mind that my (currently weekly) sessions do more to help than I could achieve on my own, even with the prescribed exercises. Simply put, this place is great, and I would recommend it to anyone. While my experiences with the other physiotherapists are limited, Jocelyn has been nothing but pleasant and helpful.
Friendly and knowledgeable
Cornerstone is an amazing clinic, I have been seeing Jocelyn for just under two years. The treatment I received was top notch and I made more progress with my issue than ever before (and I've seen a fair share of physios and chiropractors). I have recommended Jocelyn to a handful of people and all of those who sought her help have been equally impressed.
I've been working with Cedric and couldn't be happier. He is professional and a pleasure to work with. He helped me meet my first two goals almost immediately, and the third one is progressing nicely (he warned me that it would take much longer than the first two). I highly recommend Cornerstone to others!
I've had a great experience at Cornerstone. I would highly recommend Melissa and her colleagues to anyone who needs Physiotherapy to get back into optimal shape.
The physiotherapy services provided by Cornerstone have been key to my full recovery after a very painful foot injury. I was treated with professionalism. The treatment and exercises provided by Marcia Correale were very effective and helped me start walking back again sooner than I expected.
Great, experienced and incredibly qualified physios. I came here with serious neck and arm pain and after 2 treatments it's definitely better. As a retired physio, I appreciate the qualifications, skills and professionalism of these guys. I would highly recommend them.
I've gone to Cornerstone Physio twice with two different therapists and both times it was a great experience and I was able to significantly reduce my pain. Most recently I went with Hayley and she was great! Thanks!
Great place! Appointments run in time, staff are friendly and Ala, my Physiotherapist, did a great job diagnosing my issue and resolving my pain. I highly recommend Ala and Cornerstone.
All the staff at cornerstone is so lovely and extremely helpful! I have been seeing Jocelyn for 2 years now for physio. She has helped me immensely with various issues. She goes above and beyond for her patients and was able to identify problems I have had for years within one visit. Highly recommend her or anyone else at the office!
I can not say enough about Cornerstone Physiotherapy. I have been a client for several years and the team have helped me through many aches, pains and injuries. Everyone is very knowledgeable and best yet, personable. They are experts in their field. I have recommended Cornerstone to many of my colleagues and friends.
Aaron and the staff at Cornerstone were absolutely wonderful. I was pleasantly greeted when I entered the office, immediately provided a quick patient entry form, and in Aaron's office within 5 minutes. Not only was she knowledgable, but she was very supportive and thoughtful given what I was dealing with condition-wise. In the event that I have any physiotherapy needs arise, I will absolutely be visiting Aaron and the team again.
I highly recommend this clinic. I've been going to Cornerstone for a little over a year. My physiotherapist, Giacomo, has helped me recover from multiple injuries and is always a pleasure to chat with at our appointments. He's extremely knowledgeable, honest, and very understanding when you tell him you haven't done the at-home exercises again (sorry Giacomo!). When I inevitably injure myself again I'll be coming back.
Great people. Great service. Giacomo is very good at finding the right exercises that meet my needs
Giacomo at Cornerstone was very helpful in fixing me up. He's very thorough, asks questions to really understand what's going on and provides treatment and exercises to make you right again. He's great at following up and super friendly. The front desk staff make checking in and scheduling appointments a breeze.
This clinic is highly recommended. I had sever postpartum knee and back pain when I started physio with Alex. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I had an assessment first and he explained clearly what is the problem with my knee and back. I started with very simple yet effective exercises and kept practicing everyday. After 3 months I was fully recovered and was able to be back to my normal life style. Thank you again Alex. You are the best.
I came to Cornerstone barely walking. I was fortunate to be paired with Alex Restrepo. He made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns and provided detailed instructions on how to perform the exercises to build my strength and helped me make adjustments when needed. He always encouraged and challenged me to do more. As well as providing me with physical therapy, he spent the time to talk me through set backs and obstacles that held me back. I always walked out feeling more positive. My thanks to you, Alex, for sharing your wealth of knowledge, your patience and understanding. 100% recommend Cornerstone and especially Alex. Everyone at the College street site was friendly and made me feel at ease.
I came in on crutches with two badly sprained ankles. From Day 1 Alex was caring, informative and above all gave me the tools and confidence to push through my recovery. I always felt comfortable asking questions and expressing my concerns. Even when it came to complaints about back pain, or hip pain that may or may not have been directly linked to my injury, Alex took the time to give me exercises and tips that would improve my overall health. On top of that, the reception staff were always super friendly and welcoming at each visit. It sounds like such a small thing, but I was always surprised they each remembered my name. I would 100% recommend Cornerstone Therapy.
I absolutely love the work they do at cornerstone physiotherapy. I've had few injuries over the last couple years and I'm thankful my doctor recommended this clinic. Every experience has been a good one and they always get me back on my feet. Specifically, I have to thank Alex Restrepo for the expert level of care he provided, and the tools he gave me to maintain my physical health. Although I am not look forward to another injury, if I do, I know exactly where to go to get help.
I saw Amanda over the past year due to some soccer-related injuries (particularly my knee and ankle) and I was very happy with the results. Amanda came up with a rehabilitation plan that worked with my busy schedule, and got me back to playing soccer quickly while continuing a strengthening plan for a more long-term solution. I never felt pressured to come back. Amanda was really focused on getting me back to my regular routine. Overall, I found the staff to be knowledgeable, caring, and accommodating. Appointment booking was easy and flexible, even when I had to reschedule at the last minute, and they never made me feel bad about it. I would recommend this place (and Amanda) to anyone!
Very professional. Went in one time for some knowledge on how to relieve shoulder pain. Feeling so much better . The exercises that I learned are amazingly helping. Getting better everyday!
Alex was awesome! Quick to diagnose, informative and I got great results from his treatments.
I was very impressed with Giacomo's knowledge, skill and manner. He was very clear at all times and could answer any question about my condition. The exercises he gave me were very targeted and useful. I showed rapid improvement. I will definitely go back if I have a reoccurrence.
Cornerstone is a trusted physiotherapy establishment in Toronto. I have had many of my post-op patients treated here and outcomes have been great. One of my go to places for top level physiotherapy!
My experience with Cornerstone was terrific. My elbow had been bothering me for over a year, but Amy got me completely sorted out within a span of six weeks.
Good physiotherapy treatments. Great guidance with injury mechanics, post treatment self-exercises as well as following up after full recovery. Highly recommended.
Great honest physiotherapists! Whenever I have an issue they are my go to clinic to visit and have never been let down. Thanks Cornerstone!
Typical for physio joint
Cornerstone was able to accommodate an appointment same-day when I called reporting sharp neck pain. Yvonne treated and provided exercises to strengthen my neck. I saw a great improvement within a week.
Best Therapy for BPPV. I saw Giacomo Silvestri for my BPPV services and he was beyond helpful. He walked me through my treatments, how BPPV works, what I should/shouldn't be doing and was very patient the whole time during our sessions. He went out of his way to follow up outside of the treatment times to see how my vestibular rehab was going. It was a long commute for me to go into Toronto to see him so he recommended a clinic closer for my rehab which not many doctors would do. If you are in the area and need BPPV help I would highly recommend this clinic and Giacomo Silvestri.
Alex is a caring and compassionate professsional: he took the time to listen to my concerns and helped create a care plan that was easy to follow and had my best interest for recovery at heart. I am glad that I found them, ( Cornerstone Physio and Alex) I hope that I do not need them again BUT if ever I do... I know where I will be going. Trying to navigate and find patient centered care is a challenge during covid-19.... I found the best possible care Thanks, Leonard
Had 9 months of physiotherapy with Giacomo Silvestri. I was very impressed with him. He's knowledgeable, patient, and his treatments were effective. He's also nice. Very professional!
When my daughter Zoey was complaining of pain in her legs, I took her to Joon Nah at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. Joon completed a very thorough assessment of Zoey before recommending specific excercises for her, in order to target areas of concern. I was very impressed with the level of care that Joon provided. We will continue to visit Cornerstone Physiotherapy for all of our physiotherapy needs. They definitely set the bar high"!
I required physiotherapy following a recent shoulder dislocation. Overall my experience at Cornerstone physiotherapy was excellent. The staff are organized, professional and accommodating. My physiotherapist (Jocelyn) is knowledgeable and provided a thorough recovery program. I first discovered Cornerstone years ago following a back injury. After shopping around at other physiotherapy clinics, it became clear that Cornerstone outperformed all other clinics. One obvious caveat is accessibility. It may be a challenge/stressor if you are coming by car.
I’ve worked with Yvonne to help with ankle and wrist injuries and she’s wonderful! Pain has been greatly reduced. 100% recommended.
I started working with Hayley Shannon a year after I had fractured my shoulder. I was in pain and frustrated with previous attempts (other physios, personal training) to get my shoulder back to normal, and as a swimmer, I had not been able to swim since my injury. Hayley's knowledge and expertise got me back on track. But perhaps as important as her skill - her positive and relaxed attitude kept me motivated to do my physio homework and get back in the pool. It is obvious that Hayley truly cares about her clients!
I had a number of appointment with Yvonne to help with a knee issue. Professional and knew what she was doing. Had me me up able to enjoy the rest of the summer biking around the city. Covid 19 compliant - fast and easy to book appointments.
I injured my shoulder back in January and the pain did not go away. I have strained my shoulder in the past but it always healed on its own. This time, I realized I needed professional help and came across Cornerstone. I read some therapist bios and decided on scheduling an appointment with Giacomo. Upon meeting him at my first meeting, Giacomo was professional, courteous, and inquisitive. He was able to diagnose what was likely wrong with me and started me on a gradual recovery program with weekly check-ins. I asked many questions at the initial meeting and he knowledgeably answered them all. It is now mid-May and I have felt like my old self for about a month now. If you are looking for someone who wants to help and demonstrates care and professionalism, give Giacomo a try.
After a few years trying to find a good physiotherapy clinic, I asked my doctor, who recommended me to the Cornerstone Clinic. I saw Marcia Correale, who was a great communicator, and who gave me precises exercises which have been very helpful. I especially liked the technique of having recording me doing the exercise properly with her I-Pad and emailing the photos to me. It is much more instructive than the old stick drawing technique. I was also impressed by getting my receipt promptly by email. It made sending the invoice to my insurance company that much easier.
The staff are wonderful and the prices are competitive. I went in with serious mobility issues in my one arm and I was already feeling back to normal after only a couple visits!
I received in-person and virtual physio treatments from Alex Restrepo, who has helped me SIGNIFICANTLY improve the symptoms of a chronic shoulder injury from years of sports. Alex is detailed and thorough. It was helpful that throughout the treatment he made it a point to also teach me and help me understand what my body was going through. This new perspective really made physio more enjoyable this time than in the past. After being consistent with seeing him and doing my prescribed homework for a couple of months, I was 95% better and felt in control of my shoulder for the first time in a while. I’ve had countless experiences with other Physiotherapists, but Alex’s demeanour and expertise certainly stood out to me. I highly recommend his services!
I have been dealing with chronic and debilitating upper back pain for over a year, and have seen every specialist under the sun to diagnose my condition. I have also seen more physiotherapists that I can remember and none of them have had much luck in helping my pain. I would often go in to see a PT elsewhere and they would just treat whatever symptom I had that day, rather than looking at the bigger picture. Then I was recommended to check out Cornerstone. First of all, I called in to explain my current history and the manager/lead PT there sat on the phone with me for 20 minutes listening to my condition and asking me questions. Afterward, he contacted every physiotherapist at each Toronto Cornerstone office to find someone with experience in treating what I had. Within 2 days I was booked with Giacomo, and promised that if I didn’t improve, that they would have a whole team assess my situation later on. I was so impressed with the customer service and it only got better from there. Giacomo is the only person who has been able to treat my back pain, and within 3 months of seeing him I am 75% better and expected to make a full recovery considering my current success. I used to operate daily as a 7/10 on the pain scale but now it’s more like a 3/10. He treats my condition like a story rather than a chapter, and always assesses my pain and symptoms in the interest of long-term recovery rather than short-term pain relief. Giacomo is attentive, answers my (millions of) questions and is incredibly knowledgeable. He’s also just a nice person and it makes the experience of seeing a PT much more enjoyable. You can also tell he genuinely cares about his clients’ recovery and is invested in their wellbeing, which is in my opinion what differentiates an good PT from an amazing PT. As a result, going to Cornerstone has become one of the best parts of my week because I know I will only improve with each visit, and I have wonderful company to assist in my recovery. Anyone who experiences chronic pain knows the difficulty that comes with finding treatment; going through various forms of therapy, visiting a ton of specialists who all diagnose you with something different, and being told widely conflicting opinions on your case. Sometimes the effort and letdown from finding help for chronic pain is more exhausting than the pain itself. Cornerstone has truly made this process way easier for me emotionally and physically. There is a reason why Cornerstone has a near perfect rating on every review platform. Even the front desk is 5 stars (Jenna is lovely and so helpful). I honestly cannot recommend Cornerstone and especially Giacomo enough!
Great clinic. Easy to book appointments and great physiotherapists. I see Giacomo and he is fantastic.
I saw Physiotherapist Jocelyn McEachern at Cornerstone for a back injury a few months ago. I had a disc bulge that needed treatment over many weeks. My experience with Jocelyn was excellent. She listened to my descriptions of the symptoms carefully, interactively, and gave me detailed explanations supporting her diagnosis of the injury. I felt better very soon after the first few sessions, and have made a full recovery in that I can go back to playing soccer. Also, for long term management she prescribed exercises which I can do on my own that will help prevent future recurrences of the problem. When I had doubts about various activities during my injury she was very helpful in answering my questions, and helping out with accommodating my lifestyle while focussing on recovery. All in all, my injury was dealt with through exercises and sessions with Jocelyn, and also psychologically I feel confident about dealing with my injury because of her coaching role in my management of the condition. Due to all these reasons, I highly recommend her. I'm highly satisfied with my experience at Cornerstone. They also have a great feedback mechanism by which they actively seek feedback /while/ you are getting treatment. The reception staff is great, waiting times on the phone line is zero, and they work great with my insurance. The facility is great too - they have ample space for privacy and good care.
Greetings I have been a client/patient of Cornerstone Physiotherapy (2 Carlton Street, Suite 1800, Toronto) for the past many years. Early this year I damaged my left shoulder rotator cuff. Alex Restrepo was assigned as my therapist. From not being able to lift my left hand to no more than 15cm, at the start, to having it function fully did take a few months. During this rehabilitation period Alex was patient and remained focused towards getting my shoulder back to normal. Even the exercises he asked me to do, he explained, in a lay person's language, the reasons as to why they were needed. I am happy to say now that my left shoulder is back to normal. Thank you Alex and to Cornerstone Physiotherapy.
Having had multiple issues over the past year with my neck, knee and shoulder I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Cornerstone. Everyone that works at the facility is engaged, educated and encouraging. My physiotherapist Anna is one of a kind! She has continued to help me through numerous injuries while being pleasant, fun and easy to get along with. Her passion for her craft makes her one of the best around! I would encourage anybody dealing with nagging or serious injuries to check Cornerstone out!
Excellent service provider. Jocelyn helped me twice with a very painful bulged disk. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Excellent and friendly staff always ensure your physio needs are met. I went in with a shoulder injury and Alex was exceptional at walking me through a strengthening program to get to where I wanted to be. Will be back for all physio needs.
I met Alex Restrepo at Cornerstone team, in January 2021. When I met him, my back pain had considerably limited my life style. Alex listened to my story, asked critical questions to find the root of my pain and helped me understand not ony what was happening but how we could improve and solve the issue. Alex is a superb professional, knowledgeable, friendly, supporting and encouraging. He provided me with guidance, advice and, above all, tools to bring me back to a pain-free life. And he delivered! I am now pain free and I know how to maintain my actual situation. You will have to do the work, but with Alex's guidance and help it will pay off. I totally recommend Alex and Cornerstone!
Giacomo is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive with concussion recovery!
I cannot say enough good things about Cornerstone! I went to Cornerstone for a problem with a frozen shoulder. My physiotherapist, Aaron, has been efficient, professional but also caring, patient and understanding, perfect balance for a health specialist! I also had the benefit of the care of a massage therapist and Matt has done a lot to help with other health issues. I was first quite impressed with the process in contacting Cornerstone, getting clear information and also with the claims being put through to my insurance company. Everything has gone so smoothly. It's refreshing. For the past three years I've been dealing with various serious health conditions (including cancer) and health establishments and specialists, Cornerstone has definitely made things more pleasant for me.
In the last two years I have been to Cornerstone twice, once for a shoulder injury and once for a sprained ankle. On both occasions I saw Giacomo, who was excellent! He had a very pleasant and calm way, explained everything well and was also available for follow-up (he provided information on my injury to my trainer, clarified exercises if I forgot how to do them) and was in general very responsive, also outside of the appointments. The staff at the clinic are also friendly and efficient. I didn't work with any other therapist, but am very confident that anyone working there would be skilled and experienced. The location is also very central, right next to the College subway station. Not wishing anyone any injuries, but if you do need physio, this is the place to go!
Giacomo was a fantastic person to deal with. I highly recommend him
Excellent facilities and very safe during the pandemic.
Attended a virtual session with Giacomo a couple of weeks ago regarding chronic lower back pain. Being a healthcare provider myself, I was skeptical about a virtual approach to physio. After a thorough discussion and observation, a small tweak was made to how I was executing my tried and true lower back stretch exercise. The pain level decreased significantly during the session and now continues to be a non-issue based on proper stretching execution. Thanks Giacomo!
2020 was rough and having nerve issues in my arm for the first time was scary. Ala and everyone else at Cornerstone were kind and welcoming and made treatment a pleasure. Thanks so much for your help and I'm doing much better. I'll be back if I have another issue requiring physio.
My physiotherapist was cheerful, understanding, and able to diagnose the central problem even although appointments were virtual. The exercises were manageable and helped to reduce pain and restore my strength. Thanks
Great clinic. Modern, professional staff. I went to help diagnose and correct persistent dizziness issues. Giacomo helped uncover a few causes stemming from an old concussion, and a series of exercises helped diminish symptoms.
Excellent & sensitive treatment & care from Rosie. I have nothing but positive things to say about Cornerstone.
I cannot recommend this clinic enough. I was having some serious issues with dizziness and I felt much better after my first appointment with Sharon-anne. She was able to identify my condition quickly and taught me exercises to correct the problem. My time with her was more valuable and effective than visiting my doctor's office.
Awesome and really finally got to fix some bad posture habits. Feel like new!
Awesome clinic! I had Alex as my physiotherapist and he was awesome. I went into the clinic because I had injured my wrist snowboarding and could barely even hold a cup of coffee! After a few sessions with Alex and some take home exercises/stretches I made such great progress. Highly recommend this clinic, especially Alex!
Thanks to Cornerstone the quality and commitment to excellence I am well on my way to recovery. Aaron Stewart is a highly skilled professional that cares about one’s progress. She goes out of her way to follow up with pictures to ensure that the training is the way it supposed to be. Even when entering the receptionist are very warm and helpful Overall, the end to end experience has been nothing short than EXCELLENT !!!!! Regards
I strongly recommend Cornerstone to anyone looking for effective, evidence-based physiotherapy. I see Alex, who helped me end years of Achilles tendinitis and is now treating my knee pain (much improved). He clearly explains the cause of the problem and how the treatment will resolve it. I’m also impressed by the clinic’s strict safety protocols (health checks, masks, sanitizing between visits).
Hayley and I had many sessions together after I hurt my shoulder at work. She is nothing short of fantastic - kind, patient with a great sense of humour as well as making me feel so much better. I have already recommended Hayley to anyone I know who needs a kind, caring person to help them.Thanks so much
Well run and efficient office. Yvonne was a life saver and really helped with my pain.
Great service, professional guidance. Big cheers for Hayley. I consulted her for shoulder mass gain and strengthening, followed by a ligament tear operation. She helped me with right level of endurance and range of exercises to improve my condition.
After suffering an ACL injury. I was referred to Cornerstone and Hayley Shannon. I cannot speak more highly of my experience. Conveniently located at College station (and a 4 minute walk from my office), it was a breeze to make my appointments. I cannot stress enough how easy and carefree it was to schedule and attend appointments, which always started promptly on time. The rehabilitation treatment I received (and continue to) specifically from Hayley has been nothing but professional, friendly, diligent, and thoughtful. So pleased with my recovery. I always felt confident Hayley knew exactly what I needed, knew when to take precautions, I followed her advice, and have improved with each stage.
I recently developed an issue with my wrist I thought was carpal tunnel. A friend encouraged me to book a virtual consultation to confirm this The physiotherapist properly diagnosed me (not with carpal tunnel!) and I was able to order the brace I needed before it got much worse. I was also given comprehensive directions on how and when to use the brace and saw an immediate improvement. Virtual consultation is the perfect solution when you can’t go into the office and you need help! Highly recommend this service.
I highly recommend Alex Restropo. I had been suffering from lower back pain for at least a year and a half, and had been to other physiotherapy practices with no results. I'd almost given up, but Alex was able to bring me back to full function! Kudos as well to the office for maintaining strict protocols around COVID.
My experience with Giacomo, my physiotherapist was excellent. My husband Michael also went to him and said he was fantastic. Giacomo was very professional and engaging. Always remembered details between visits. He is well educated in his field and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone. The office staff at the front desk were always courteous and sent out reminders of our appointments. I would give this clinic 5 stars.
I was experiencing severe vertigo and dizziness. My doctor suggested I go to Cornerstone Physio for help. I saw Giacomo who narrowed down the possible diagnostic options and began treating me for vestibular neuritis based on my symptoms. I had never heard of it and was thankful there was such a thing as vestibular rehabilitation. I have made huge progress with therapy. I’m impressed with Giacomo’s knowledge and his passion. I appreciate the motivational push when I needed it. The staff are courteous and professional and made my visits very comfortable. I highly recommend this clinic. Nancy
I had a massive shoulder problem that came out of nowhere and it was as awkward and strange as it was painful. Dr. Silvestri was persistent with a variety of exercises and treatments. He provided me with the appropriate avenue to recovery and the tools to fix my shoulder. Shout out to the admin team. They're extremely efficient, helpful, and friendly. Hopefully I don't have to go back but if my body rebels against me again, I'd go here before anywhere else.
Highly recommend this clinic, I was seeing Alex for a few weeks to look at a prolonged shoulder issue. He was able to exactly pinpoint where the issue was and recommended exercises that specifically targeted that issue. He made sure that my issues was completely resolved. They also have fair pricing and they have adapted well to covid-19 by adding sanitising stations and frequent cleaning.
I had a very bad chronic back pain. I used several physiotherapists' services before without success. A friend recommended me the Cornerstone where I met Aaron Stewart who is the best physioterapist I ever had. I went to all the recommended sessions and I followed all her instructions including the excersises which were very reasonable. It sounds funny but I want to say that she healed me. She is a great and dedicated professional. I am very happy because I am free of pain and it feels awesome! Thanks Aaron.
Went in with awful muscular tension in my neck; I couldn't turn my head more than ten degrees to the left without severe pain. Working with Jodi was great, and I am happy to say my neck has never felt better :) will be coming back in the future with any physical problems I may have
Thank You Hayley you did a great Job. My hamstring is much better :)
I have vestibular challenges that are ever present. Giacomo is very knowledgeable in the area of vestibular physiotherapy. He was able to listen to my concerns and provide specific therapy exercises. I now have an increased understanding of the vestibular system and a greater confidence in dealing with my symptoms.
After the unfortunate event of breaking my hip and going through 5 physiotherapists, I was fortunate enough to find my way to Rana Sunder at Cornerstone. Rana is an exceptional physiotherapist who demonstrated his knowledge to me through results. After seeing Rana for a month, I gained 90% of my range of motion back and started running again.
I have gone to Cornerstone Physiotherapy several times over the last decade or so. I have found it incredibly effective and swift in getting me out of pain and back to normal activity. They have found excellent exercises for me to do whether at home or at the office and I have been able to keep those exercises up. Plus, everyone there is really nice.
Great physio place. Sharon was very focused on comprehensively assessing my injury. Never waited more than a minute or two.
I had severe knee pain when I initially came into Cornerstone. Luckily I booked an appointment with the kind and attentive Jocelyn. She listened and continues to listen to all my concerns during the sessions. She provided me with exercises to do to strengthen the weak muscles which were causing my knee pain. She also provided very helpful therapy for any problem areas during the regular sessions. She recommended orthotics for my flat feet to reduce the impact on my knees. Overall, the quality of the orthotics is great, better than the ones I’ve used in the past. And I notice a huge difference with their use. As other reviews have mentioned, the front desk staff is very professional and all appointment with Cornerstone have gone smoothly. I am happy to have a Jocelyn as my reliable physiotherapist.
Giacomo was a great physiotherapist, very knowledgeable and professional. Had a great experience, felt significant improvements in my body. Highly recommend.
I absolutely love Cornerstone. Not only is Matt the best RMT, the entire staff truly want to get to know who you are. These people go above and beyond your need and make sure you're truly satisfied with the service. Fun fact: the receptionists like chocolates. To this day, I still get thanked for my small gesture and I'm glad I could make their day that much better!
Very cleaned and professional environment. I’ve been going to this clinic since one year and I’ve always had the feeling that my care and well-being is important for my physiotherapist. Even the staff at the reception is very polite and always try to accommodate my schedule. Great experience!
I've had a great experience. Wonderful staff and excellent approach to addressing my challenges.
I had severe problems with muscles of the hips, pelvis , and the connected tissues of the lower back. PT Sarah Nestor was treating me for approximately 2 months. I found her to be not only a talented PT with a very mature and professional demeanour, but an pleasant and easy personality to get along with. She identified some muscular tightness and imbalances and helped me with re-programming my knowledge about these muscles and it's functionings. She emphasised on some very vital Excercises to strengthen up complementary muscles which has greatly taken off the tightness and pressure off my hips and thighs. Sarah s experience in physical therapy has really benefited me in managing the physical state of my body and keeping my muscles more active . Thanks very much
I have been going to Cornerstone for many years to both physio and massage therapies. Both Alex and Matt has been great, very professional. They have been helping me to get better with various issues that are related to the sitting nature of my work.
Hayley was my physio. First time with Cornerstone. Great experience despite all being via Video call. Hayley was very thorough. After a few sessions based on her diagnosis and exercise treatment I was much better
Overall, I had a very positive experience. Cornerstone is a professional, tidy place, and gave me the best treatment I have received for my TMJ issues. Highly recommend Giacomo - the treatment was not invasive and ended up helping me a lot with my jaw pain and clicking. He is also very patient and trustworthy. If you have any issues, this is definitely the place to go! The staff are very kind, educated and willing to help. Big thanks to their amazing team!
A few years ago I was dealing with lower back pain. I couldn't sit more than 20 min without discomfort. Joon found the issue, explained it thoroughly, and fixed the problem. More recently I was having some issues with my foot; my family doctor told me I needed custom orthotics. At 40yrs old I wasn’t willing to accept that so I went and saw Joon. Again he solved the problem and no orthotics needed. More importantly he empowered me to keep both my back and foot healthy by showing me exercises and stretches. I’m extremely happy with the care and professionalism I received from Joon and the staff at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family.
This is not the first time I visit Cornerstone Physiotherapy Clinic at Carlton/Yonge. Therapist Alex Restrepo was once again extremely good, professional & dedicated with his craft . I had a case of Plantar fasciitis with intense heel pain which disappeared after my third session with the treatment and exercises Alex provided. The clinic meets ALL the safety protocols due covid19. I should also mention the ladies working at the reception were extremely efficient, welcoming and friendly making all appointments easy. THANK YOU very much to all of you!
May 2021: I was unfortunately involved in a car accident early this year and needed treatment for it and I did not hesitate to come back to Cornerstone after my incredible experience last fall. I had an amazing experience with Sharon. I remember walking in, I was anxious and worried about if my brain will ever work the same as it did before and how it would affect my life and career. Literally after the first session and first set of exercises, I made a huge amount of recovery that I did not make from self-treatment. Sharon found the exact root-cause and was able to treat it very quickly and efficiently and catered a plan to help me get back to normal. Few months later, now I am completely back to normal and I cannot thank and recommend Sharon enough! She was super helpful, friendly, easy-going and knows exactly what she's doing. All whilst still maintaining Covid safety protocols. Dec 2020: Excellent experience working with Alex. I had suffered from a serious ankle injury in the summer and Alex was able to guide me and help me recover in the best way possible. He not only focused on recovery, but he also focused on what activities I would do after my recovery (mainly soccer and HIIT training) and tailored my exercises accordingly. Very happy with the experience. They also took all the necessary precautions and protocols to enable a safe experience amidst this pandemic so I was never worried about potentially contracting the virus
Mara is so nice and professional as a receptionist, as she can always response my email within 10 mins or less, and she kindly offered everything I needed for the upcoming sessions. Also, I definitely recommend my physiotherapist Ala, she is very nice and provided me with proper massage and exercises in and out of the session. I used to have numb left calf and pain back, but after a few sessions, I feel much better as she identified my problem and gave me clear instructions from how to release the pressure of my back to how to make the back muscle stronger step by step. I really appreciate her help along the way. I will definitely recommend Cornerstone!!!
I had a wonderful experience with cornerstone. HAILEY did a full assessment and quickly found the cause of the pain. In about 5-6 sessions the pain subsided. Hailey is a great listener and super knowledgeable
I went to Cornerstone Physiotherapy Clinic this evening and did not have a pleasant experience. My intention was going by to see a Massage Therapist Matt for some massage therapy. It was a recommendation from my partner for a treat to relax. Matt did a great job with my upper back massage. However, the receptionist Olga was extremely rude. She informed me that since I am the second party under my partner’s work insurance I need to get a prescription from my doctor before getting the massage. Otherwise, I have to pay for the $96.05 massage one hour session. Then she proceed by saying that She does not know know what my insurance policy was and she cannot help me. She then started to roll her eyes and told me that I have pay. I replied I was not aware that I have to pay for the massage session since I AM the second person in my partner’s benefits with Greenshield. I found that Olga’s customer service skill was lacking and not to mentioned about her condescending tone of voice and eyes rolling. Later on one of the staff Adam came and tried to rectify the problem but it was too late. I paid the bill and told him that I will NEVER go to Cornerstone Physiotherapy Clinic again because of their receptionist’s Olga poor customer service. You would think that in the competitive business market today Cornerstone will provide exemplary customer service! Bad customer service the first time and second time. No more third time for me. Sorry, Cornerstone. Because of your receptionist Olga you will never see me step foot in any of your three Clinic again!!!
I can't say enough good things about this clinic, especially during COVID. From treating sports or other injuries, I have felt well supported by excellent physios to make a plan for return to play. Most recently Alex made sure I could getting running again and Jocelyn fitted me for new orthotics that are making a good difference. The clinic is super clean, preventative measures are in place and the staff super helpful.
Highly recommend, great service, fair pricing. Giacomo was my PT to help resolve a running injury. He explained everything clearly, identified the drivers and developed a plan for me to not only resolve but help prevent future injuries. He was always pleasant and even emailed often with different suggestions and ideas outside of the therapy sessions.
I came to Cornerstone after getting some bad shin splints during my marathon training. I didn't know how to get back into running without aggravating my shins even more. Within 1 month of working with Hayley, I was able to successfully complete the race and my shin splints disappeared! Hayley was very accommodating and responsive to my emails. I would highly recommend her and Cornerstone to those looking for help to recover from an injury.
Completely impressed with my experience here.
After some shoulder and neck issues that left with some neck motion issues, I needed to find myself a physiotherapist. As I was speaking with group of friends on two seperate occasion, two different people recommended I come to Cornerstone Physiotherapy at 2 Carlton. One of them recommended me Cedric Quach. Well the folks at Cornerstone were very friendly and approachable. Cedric was very informative, friendly and cared about my progress. When I did not understand something he would take the time to explain it to me. He's also made himself reachable any time if I was in any more pain during my time with him and after I was rehabilitated. I'm even considering using other services her at Cornerstone because of the service I've received. And Gods forbid, I hurt myself again, I will not hesitate coming back to Cornerstone for my rehabilitation.
I have been seeing Philips for a month for my backpain and our sessions are helping me to regain my mobility and strength. Clean place, welcoming staffs. They maintain Covid protocol. They send a reminder message to your phone 45 minutes before your session which help me be on time. Kudos for the reminder. I have rated 4 star just because their direct billing to insurance company is not working. I have insurance from Manulife and cornerstone is on provider list. It’s been a month yet the problem isn’t solved yet. It kinda giving me a headache, I am afraid I might have to pay from my pocket and then claim it back from Manulife. One of the reason I choose cornerstone was the direct billing option and it isn’t working for me. I hope they will fix the issue soon.
I visited Cornerstone Physio at 55 University a while back for a vestibular problem and Joon has been very helpful and supportive even to this day. I think, had I gone to another clinic I may have not got the same treatment and care as I have from Joon and his great staff. I'm very happy with my decision to trek out to this clinic even though it's 1 hour away from my place.
I’ve had two successful treatment programs at Cornerstone for foot problems, both times with Ala Hojatti. She was terrific. Very thorough and organized; always standing by ready to follow up her treatments to see whether they had the desired effect or needed to be adjusted; an excellent communicator and a warm person. No hesitation at all in making this a 5-star rating.
I've been visiting Cornerstone Therapy for over a year for physiotherapy. It's a great location and easy to get to by subway. Alex R. is a great physiotherapist, thorough, concise and thoughtful and I would strongly recommend him. I really appreciated how quickly they converted from in person to virtual appointments during the pandemic. Also I was surprised to find out how effective and easy the set up process was. Thanks Cornerstone Physio!
Referred to Cornerstone by the Fracture Clinic at the hospital, I have been going to the Carlton & Yonge Clinic for just over a month. My mobility and pain issues have dissipated at an exponential rate. The office is conveniently located and very accessible, but more importantly, the people at Cornerstone are supportive in every possible way. I couldn't be happier with the treatment I have been receiving. I have no reservations in recommending Cornerstone Physiotherapy. They are top-notch, caring professionals.
Having worked in the rehab industry for years I can confidently say this is one of the best, if not THE best, clinics I have ever come across in the city. My own experience as a patient at Cornerstone has been exceptional. I was diagnosed with vestibular dysfunction following a car accident and was prescribed vestibular rehab by my ENT. I found Cornerstone Physiotherapy through a Google search and completely lucked out! There are few physiotherapists in the city with the advanced trained in the treatment of vertigo and vestibular injuries which is amazing to me as it seems that so many people suffer from these types of problems. I can't say enough about how the treatment I have received from Joon has changed my life. While there is no "cure" for my condition, Joon has helped me to learn to compensate along with minimizing the symptoms that I suffer from. Joon is extremely knowledgeable in the field of vestibular rehab and continues to attend courses and seminars to stay up to date with current research in the field which is important to me as a patient of his. Cornerstone's physiotherapists all work one on one with their patients whereas many clinics use assistants to deliver the treatment or supervise the exercises recommended by the physios. Together with their friendly front desk staff, clean, modern facilities and convenient, central location, this clinic makes recovering from an injury a little less painful.
I went to Cornerstone Physiotherapy for an Achilles problem, and was treated exceptionally well. Not only did I receive all the attention during my appointments, but I always left with some exercises to do at home, even getting emails with follow-up messages afterwards. All of this made for a prompt recovery, and I am thankful I can now resume doing rackets sports and biking. Thank you Aaron, and Cornerstone!
After decades of suffering on and off bouts of vertigo, I was lucky enough (by way of referral from a friend) to find Joon. His gentle, reassuring manner and expert knowledge in vestibular therapy has helped me make rapid and significant improvements. I would not hesitate in recommending Cornerstone Physiotherapy.
I appreciate all the help I've received from Cornerstone. The staff are so great.
I've known Adam for many years, both as my own physiotherapist as well as the physiotherapist for many of my patients. As a physician, I have had a lot of experience working with physiotherapists over the past two decades in practice. I have not worked with any who were as knowledgeable or skilled as Adam. The team working at Cornerstone is highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. You are in good hands if you are a client here.
Haley is amazing. Very helpful. The clinic is in a great location.
Went to see two physiotherapists elsewhere and a sports medicine doctor about elbow pain from playing badminton. They diagnosed me with textbook tennis elbow and gave me textbook exercises also found on Internet, Did not help for months. Was recommended by doctor to see Courtney. She diagnosed exactly how my elbow was misaligned and which tendon is injured. Saw improvement in one month doing *customized* strengthening exercises. Now fully recovered and playing badminton again without doing those exercises anymore. Sometime later, played too hard and my next weakest link were my knees. Pain did not go away but rather worsen in two month time. So went back to Courtney due to positive prior experience and this time she diagnosed exactly what was wrong and identified the root was meniscus issue. Saw improvement in one month doing customized stretches and strengthening exercises. Now playing badminton freely again without the need to hold back. I hope not to find my next weakest link after this. I am not a believer of stretches and strengthening exercises, but to my disbelieve the ones she advised actually work (in both incidents). What I found different from Courtney compared to other physiotherapists I have seen in the past is she actually knows her stuff very well. This made the difference between healing in one month versus going back to see the physiotherapist month after month with more or less same level of pain. Thank you Courtney. Thank you God.
Had Rana as my physio and he did an amazing job with treating & healing my forearm. I'd definitely recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy.
The Cornerstone Team, especially Giacomo are amazing. Your concerns are their concerns. Giacomo listened to all my issues to make a comprehensive decision and prioritized my issues to ensure that we were addressing them in the correct order. I will go back whenever I have something act up in the future.
My experience with Cornerstone Physiotherapy has been very positive. I first came to Marcia Correale with two incorrectly diagnosed injuries. One injury was to my back and the other to my elbow - both from tennis. Marcia diagnosed both injuries and gave me both exercises and massages which really helped with the pain and started the healing process. She referred me when my injuries were ready to the excellent pilates instructor Anne Panday who taught me a series of pilates exercises which I now faithfully do every morning. These exercises will prevent a recurrence of a back injury. I would not hesitate to contact Marcia should I sustain any more injuries as I know that I would very quickly be correctly diagnosed and then on the road to recovery. Cornerstone is run very efficiently. Appointments always are on time and the women at the front desk are pleasant, friendly and polite. I have been to many physio people and places and Cornerstone is quite simply the best.
I was able to get an appointment quickly, and cannot recommend Giacomo enough! He is knowledgeable and efficient, and an absolute delight to work with. As I am prone to running injuries, this will be certainly a resource I will return should the need arise. Thank you for your help!
I have been a client of Cornerstone since it opened and have nothing but glowing comments about its founder and all staff. The entire team is professional at all times and highly effective in their work. This extends from the medical team to the administrative staff. All staff members go out of their way to help me, accommodate my schedule and health needs, and help keep me active and healthy. I have referred a number of people over the years, and all have only glowing comments about Cornerstone. I would not be able to play tennis regularly or manage a chronic leg issue if it were not for Adam and the team. I highly recommend this practice.
Really nice staff
Sharon-Anne is absolutely amazing! I have been visiting her every week for three months by now. I have always been troubled by chronic shoulder, neck, back and ankle problems. Due to these many issues I have, I was expecting nothing more than keeping my condition under control, but she has helped me more than that. Also, she is a very friendly, warm-hearted person while being extremely professional. I will recommend this place to everyone who suffer from injuries or long-term muscle aches!
It seems every 2 years or so I end up at Cornerstone and am always very happy with the Service. My last Physiotherapist was Ala who was extraordinary!
Friendly, knowledgable, effective, and honest. Focused on recovery, no pressure for perpetual appointments. Highly recommended.
After several months of severe and constant pain in my leg and foot and after exploring other medical avenues (chiropractor, RMT, naturopath) I was discouraged and severely limited in my daily activities, to the point where I didn't even want to walk. I feel fortunate to have found Cornerstone and to have started physiotherapy with Courtney Steele. After a very thorough initial assessment she provided a detailed diagnosis and outlined her plan for my recovery. After just over a month under her care which has included shockwave therapy, a home exercise program and acupuncture, I am well on my way to what I hope to be a full recovery. I find that she explains things in a clear, concise way, has a comfortable manner and appears to be a dedicated and caring professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Courtney and Cornerstone to anyone requiring physiotherapy.
Cornerstone is a wonderful place for healing your body and keeping it in tip top shape! I am quite active but also on my computer for work a lot - so very prone to injuries and discomfort. My physiotherapist, Jocelyn, has quite literally guided me back to health on two separate, long standing injuries that other physiotherapists I've been to in the past just couldn't (and yes, I do all the exercises!). I am also a regular of Matt (RMT) and wouldn't trade him for the world. I've even gotten my husband to see him as well, as he's so happy he did. Thanks Cornerstone team!
I have had low back pain problems for almost 3 years, seeing multiple physiotherapists, osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors etc. to try to resolve the issue. I saw Hayley Shannon for about 6 months and my back pain had dramatically been reduced :) Hayley always took the time for me and my issues and genuinely wanted to see me get better :)
If you go to CornerStones....choose Laura Panta! :D I am so *incredibly thankful* to have met and worked with Laura Panta over the course of my Golfers Elbow Rehab. Not only is she knowledgeable and well versed, she is also an amazing human being and very nice to talk with! I have gone to other clinics in hopes that they could help me with my injury but they did nothing in comparison to all the hard work Laura put forth. She really puts out a great effort to listen to all your concerns and then sets forth plans of action and exercises, which make a world of difference. I am a full time musician, so it was imperative that I regain control over my injury ASAP, and she really went above and beyond. *I cant thank you enough* for all your help in my healing/strengthening process and I am so very grateful to have chosen Laura at CornerStones. I know if one day, I need to find physiotherapy again, I will choose CornerStones. (knock on wood though haha) -Robbie! :D
Highest recommendation. My physiotherapist Alex was knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. The treatment progressed at a pace that was helpful and manageable by me. The staff were always helpful and efficient.
Julia helped me from the very first visit to recover from vertigo and neck pain. She responded to my needs and tailored a physio program of stretch, strength, and acupuncture. She is a very knowledgeable and caring professional. I would highly recommend Julia and cornerstone
I had injured my back this past summer and reached out to Cornerstone @ Yonge & College. I set up an appointment with Alex.. On my first, of several sessions, I immediately felt relaxed and greatful of how Alex approached my situation. He lead me through all of my sessions with care and concern, with 'take-a-ways' on each session on how I could help heal my back. Alex is truly an asset to Cornerstone. On the road to recovery, all thanks to amazing Alex!.
I went for physio for the first time here and felt really satisfied with my treatment. My knee has been pretty weak since I fell a few years ago and causes some pain in the rain and cold weather. Amanda was welcoming, engaging, helpful, and non-judgmental. She gave me some exercises and physical therapy which really helped and is always happy to see me. I really enjoy my sessions with her and I'll go back for any physio needs :)
Had a great experience at cornerstone physio with Alex! He helped me with my back and now I feel like I know what to do if I ever hurt it again! Plus I had a mixture of virtual and in-person appointments because of the pandemic and both were great! Thanks Alex!
Very professional outfit and I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge that Giacomo had. He diagnosed the problem quickly, explained it clearly and recommended treatment/exercises that were easy to follow and made sense. He is a great communicator and really seems to enjoy what he does. Keep up the great work!
Melissa treated my arm and shoulder after a severe pull in November of last year until the end of May. She got it back from limp and exceedingly painful to back to normal! She successfully advocated for additional treatment through the WSIB and I looked forward to our twice a week sessions because I knew she was healing me, as much as I grimaced through them. She is so knowledgeable, friendly, patient and explained everything I was unclear about. I recommended her to a friend who was as impressed as I was. Thank you, Melissa, and the whole team!
5 stars does not describe their EXCELLENCE, beginning with very helpful receptionist. I was treated by Hayley who is exceptional!!. I could hardly walk when I saw her due to severe back problem, and after a few sessions with her I was back to normal. I also saw Babs the podiatrist -- also excellent!!! I am now wearing shoes that have me back to walking 5-10 km a day. I am a cancer patient & was worried about being in their space due to COVID, but nothing to fear as their precautions are top notch.
As a retired physiotherapist myself, I can honestly say that Cornerstone offers the best physiotherapy services in this city!!! They go above and beyond to return you to your pre-injury level or maximize your rehab potential. Most therapist's have completed post graduate training which allows them to accurately identify the structures at fault and then treat you with state of the art equipment or manual therapy techniques. Their problem solving abilities are bar none and they will tailor your program specifically for YOU and your needs until your goals have been achieved. Simply put, they will exceed your expectations! JF
Amy is absolutely amazing, I had terrible pain in my neck and shoulders and in just a few sessions I felt good as new. The exercises given to do at home were also good and helped a lot. Could not recommend it more :)
I had treatment at Cornerstone 4 times in the last 6 years. The most recent 2 ones were with Alex, who did a wonderful job fixing first my elbow, and a year later--my shoulder. I recommend him highly.
Absolutely great treatment from Yvonne for pelvic floor issues - staff are very helpful and kind. I highly recommend the clinic and the staff.
I recently completed my physio/rehabilitation with Giacomo at Cornerstone. Fantastic. After getting the same generic treatment at a few places from a few types of professionals, I was about to give up but I took another shot and luckily I was assigned to Giacomo who has completely restored my faith in the process! He's great at diagnosing the problem, but is even better when it comes to delivering you effective exercises that evolve as you recover. Definitely recommend requesting him!
Melissa at Cornerstone is a miracle worker - she's fixed me up after two tough injuries to my shoulder including a dislocation. She's just what I look for in a therapist -- she's peppy and upbeat making appointments enjoyable, she absolutely knows her stuff and took the time to educate me, and she expects a lot of herself and of her patients which made me work hard/regularly on my assigned exercises. Cornerstone itself is a modern, clean and well organized clinic, with a range of staff and services. Would highly recommend Melissa and Cornerstone if you're in the downtown core and looking for a physiotherapist!
Giacomo really worked wonders on my tennis elbow. He told me the nature of the problem, what causes it, how to reduce the stress on the elbow, suggested exercises, and did a great needling technique which made it feel better instantly. Five stars for Giacomo!
I've seen two physios in this clinic, one of then no longer works here. The other is Adam. My problem in the clinic is the lack of holistic diagnosis. I'm atheistic with some sport lingerie. They never looked at me as a human with several injuries connected to each other, but looked as each injury separately. Over two years, my condition got worse. Adam finally provided an explanation of the source and the link of these injuries. He provided a list of do's and don'ts, some exercises that I have to do. While I followed the rules, he provided less work from his side, especially at times when I was on pain. While he's smart and cool, I noticed that he has a need to be right by making others wrong. His opinion diffed from my physician and chiropractor, and I trusted him the most. This has changed as I asked my physician to do x-rays, and the result showed that Adam wasn't right about his assumption or my condition. Overall, my experience showed that this clinic is overestimated.
Hayley was amazing in helping me recover from a double MCL injury. I was able to get back to my routine quickly with her guidance and targeted exercises.
When I came down with vertigo, my doctor knew immediately the best place to send me for diagnosis and treatment. Joon Nah is amazing at treating vertigo and the symptoms associated with it. The staff is always friendly and professional. This is definitely the right place to go for any physiotherapy.
I have seen many physiotherapists over the past 20 years or so as I struggled with back problems. Some I found to be very helpful and others less so. For the past 8 years I have been seeing Adam at Cornerstone Physio and he has helped me tremendously through some very difficult times with my back. He pushes me harder than I am willing or able to push myself and I have always been pleased with the results. Just when I have mastered the exercises, he fine tunes them and adds an extra layer of difficulty to further strengthen my back and supporting muscles. He has helped me stay on my feet and continue to work and enjoy life in spite of the many challenges I have faced with my back. If you are lucky enough to have Adam as your physio you are in good hands.
I developed a repetitive stress injury to my heel including a bone Spurr that completely stopped me from working out, and even made me limp while walking. After getting imaging from a sports doctor Anna made me confident to try a program of physio and shockwave treatments. It required patience and faith as there was little clinical improvement for the first 10 weeks as Anna predicted. Then the results were quite rapid and dramatic from one week to the next. I continued the therapy for a total of 14 weeks and shortly thereafter began to re-introduce workouts to my routine. It is 4 months later and I am running and moving freely as though I never had this injury that had sidelined me for 6 months.
I got referred to cornerstone physiotherapy from my family doctor for my persistent shoulder weakness and numbness due to a biopsy done months earlier. My overall physiotherapy experience at the cornerstone was extremely well. My physiotherapist was Alex, he's super nice and thorough whenever i had my session. I had a total of maybe seven sessions before I got fully recovered and discharged. Alex would let me know what exercises I should do everyday after each session and would help me practice so i'm doing them right during the session and check my progress every time i went in. It's very rewarding to see the progression. The daily exercises are very simple but super effective. Even during the COVID, cornerstone offered virtual sessions trying to help patients. If you are looking for a physiotherapy place, I would definitely recommend cornerstone, everyone else there are really nice and helpful. The place is very clean and professional.
Have only the best feedback on this clinic. Jocelyn McEachern has been the key to my healing. Extremely knowledgable, effective, and attentive ... A gem of a physiotherapist!
Highly educated and trained professionals, have helped me through multiple injuries to return to peak functional state. Best in town for sure
Excellent experience with Cornerstone. The therapist identified my issue with detailed, knowledgeable questioning, and then set about a course of treatment that worked in a handful of appointments. Can't ask for more than that. Sessions were always on time, and the therapist was professional and sympathetic. Side note: This isn't on Cornerstone but I don't get why these services aren't covered by the public healthcare system. P-therapy is effective and probably saves a lot of money with early-intervention and preventative measures. Should be available even to those who can't afford to pay.
Awesome service! Haley is awesome, my shoulder is back to its normal self thanks to her. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for physio!
Conveniently located, professional, knowledgeable and friendly place. Recommend!
As of December, 2014, I have been a client of Aaron Stewart at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. Throughout my process of coping with vestibular neuritis and BPPV, I have seen various medical specialists; Aaron has been the most helpful in terms of providing effective exercises and answering my many questions with a striking amount of knowledge. Over and above her professionalism, Aaron is very understanding and sympathetic; I appreciate her ability to keep me in high spirits during these frustrating months. I would like to give a strong recommendation to anyone who has the opportunity to become of a client of hers.
I have been a client with Cornerstone Physiotherapy for approx. 3 years and am very thankful to have found such a wonderful team to take care of my needs. I suffer from choric lower back pain, and right wrist issues and Joon has been wonderful with creating a program that works for me, my body and my very busy schedule. The staff at cornerstone are professional, friendly and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend their services.
I have seen Sharon-Anne a while ago for a knee injury and was highly satisfied with the quality of the care she provided. She was very helpful and was patient answering my many questions. The front desk staff was always polite and helpful as well.
Melissa is wonderful. She helped get me back on track after I suffered a very painful back issue. After a few sessions with Melissa my condition greatly improved. She even followed up to see how was doing via email. I would highly recommended Cornerstone based on my experience.
Jocelyn is a MIRACLE worker! I had a stiff neck for longer than I can remember that gave me intense and chronic pain to the point where it was difficult to sleep, sit and simply walk. Jocelyn's knowledge, healing hands and advice have improved my health incredibly. Thank goodness for Cornerstone and Jocelyn. Professional and excellent treatment is what you will receive there. I can not recommend her enough! Thanks!
I was VERY impressed with my first visit. The therapist (Jocelyn McEachern) was knowledgable and helpful and provided goals and a plan.
I highly recommend Cornerstone to anybody needing physiotherapy. Over the past few years, I have gone for different reasons and each time I have had my issues resolved. My physiotherapist (Giacomo Silvestri) always performs a comprehensive assessment and thoroughly explains the nature of my injury so that I understand how the injury occurred and what treatment is needed to correct it. The home exercise programs he has designed for me are effective and well suited for a home environment which makes it easy to follow and to see noticeable results.
We have followed Matt, my daughter's physiotherapist, to his new clinic here because he is fantastic; knowledgeable and with a great table-side manner. He has gone above and beyond, offering to attend practices, etc. to follow up with her care after knee surgery. The staff and location are wonderful too.
Cornerstone was very helpful in providing relief for me from pain I was having due to inflammation. Was impressed how smoothly and safely every appointment was especially during this time of covid. Totally recommend Cornerstone to anyone seeking Physiotherapy not only is their service exceptional, but they are perfectly located right at college subway station making it very convenient and easy to get to.
Jocelyn is a miracle worker! I’ve always had lower back problems and thought it was just normal, but after seeing Jocelyn I was able to finally find some relief. She was referred to me by a good friend and even though there was a Cornerstone closer to me, I checked out the Carlton location and was not disappointed. Part of what impressed me was not only getting the proper treatment, but also having it explained to me in ways I could understand. Jocelyn was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to my diagnosis and figuring out which direction to take. It made me feel like I was an active part of my own rehabilitation rather than just following directions blindly. I have a sedentary office lifestyle so there wasn’t any injury or event that led to my pain, but rather just bad posture habits that have added up over time. Jocelyn attentively helped me with strengthening and stretching exercises during my appointments, always making sure I was doing them correctly so I could continue the sessions at home. She even followed up with a detailed email afterwards which I thought was a lovely touch! I had never really been to a physiotherapist before and was so glad I did. It’s really like night and day comparing how good I feel now to the constant discomfort I had before. I highly recommend Cornerstone and especially Jocelyn to anyone looking for an outstanding physiotherapist experience!
Happy to recommend Cornerstone. Alex took the time to listen carefully to my shin splints symptoms and responded with effective advice and exercises. After just two sessions I was back up and running. The office is friendly and efficient and Alex himself was a pleasure to spend time with.
This is a wonderful business that is full of wonderful humans. You will be greeted by always friendly smiles who are always extremely kind and very helpful. The place is consistently well maintained and is very clean. Hayley Shannon is incredibly talented and has helped me recover from a serious wrist and clavicle fracture and then separately, post concussion symptoms. She treats you like she would her own family and you instantly know you're in really competent and caring hands. A big thank you to Hayley and the entire staff at Cornerstone for being talented and all around amazing people.
Hayley gave me what I needed to fix my badly injured foot and I am running again. I am not sure what kind of witchcraft she uses, but she is the best! ;)
Highly recommended! All staffs are super friendly, especially my therapist, Alex, has always been very helpful and informative, certainly the best physiotherapy experience I've had. I unfortunately had to stop the session due to my move, but will be looking to book a session with Cornerstone in a different location once COVID situation is at ease.
I saw Ala for my knee for a few months during the summer and she was absolutely phenomenal. Very attentive and caring and would always modify my exercises if I felt discomfort/pain. She is very knowledgeable and did a great job clarifying the problems for me. The staff is also really great and helpful.
Highly recommend Jocelyn in the clinic. She is very knowledgeable and has great expertise and experience in physiotherapy treatment. She patiently listens to what pain I have and gives very good treatment to that and more importantly I feel more better right after her work. She has really helped me significantly in my foot recovery.
Excellent experience. Giacomo helped get me through a long ankle rehabilitation -- and the difference blew me away. Thanks so much!
Excellent service both in person and virtually. My physiotherapist was fantastic and her work got me back to being pain free!
Highly recommend this place.. I was referred by my doctor. Friendly front desk and knowledgeable professional. Matthew diagnosed and helped me with piriformis syndrome that I have been struggling with for 5years in 5weeks.
I don’t like to write reviews, but I had an outstanding experience with my physiotherapist, Giacomo. He provided highly attentive and personalized care to my various sports injuries over the past year. Giacomo is everything I would hope for in a physiotherapist and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others!
Professional and friendly service that was instrumental in getting my body to be able to run again! I highly recommend Cornerstone!
The professional staff at Cornerstone have helped me through a number of physical injuries and issues. Even though the last episode turned out to require surgery to correct, Adam was very helpful in all aspects, showing great concern and going above and beyond the service I would have expected.
I attended Cornerstone last summer to address lower back pain that I began to feel when running. I have been seen by a lot of physiotherapists over the past number of years for different niggles and injuries and can say without reservation that my experience as a patient at Cornerstone has been the most positive and successful. Jodi was excellent - she was very thorough in getting a complete picture of my injury history, identifying the cause of the problem, and (most importantly) laying out a course of treatment that has yielded lasting results. What I appreciated the most was the insight I gained into my own mechanical peculiarities as well as the knowledge and confidence to manage my body better so as to prevent reoccurrences. I have since been to Cornerstone for massage therapy and found it great for relieving muscle tightness. On top of all this, the front desk staff are great - really friendly and accommodating. Couldn't recommend this clinic more highly!
Everyone here is super friendly, and my physiotherapist (Ala) was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend it.
Very caring and informative staff
I've been going to Cornerstone on Carleton for years (since Adam was doing physiotherapy himself!). This is the first time I've worked with Jordan and I found him very engaged. He was always thinking about what else could be done to improve my situation. When our sessions came to an end because my issue had been resolved, he continued to reach out to make sure things were still going well. I will always recommend Cornerstone!
This is a great place with excellent people. Amanda was my therapist and she help me with a lower back problem that'd been troubling me for 6 years I told her what caused me pain (running and a few other movements) and she observed me in minute detail and suggested what I could do to feel better. She also manipulated the muscles that were tight. I'm now almost completely pain free and have started physical activities again. I totally recommend Amanda and Cornerstone!
My physio therapist Ala was amazing and I highly recommend her. She was able to understand the issues I had withy knee right away and tailor a recovery plan which worked great for me and brought my knee back to full capacity! Thank you!
I recently saw Hayley for a pinched nerve in my neck with radiating numbness down my arm. She was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and patient with me during my treatment. I received excellent care from her and I felt very confident with her expertise. Thank you Hayley.
Sarah is very patient and caring, and very knowledgeable. Would recommend her to anyone.
My physiotherapist, Yvonne, was knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. I would go back.
Had a great experience working with Daniel Z. for my back injury.
Hayley is excellent. She is attentive, competent and encouraging, not to mention helpful with my knee issues. I really enjoyed my sessions with her.
Amazing experience with Cornerstone. It is a pleasure working with Haley who helped me overcome my multiple knee and ankle injuries and return to the level of fitness I used to be at. Haley was so professional, compassionate, and creative with developing a physio plan that took into account all my anxieties while helping me reach my rehab and fitness goals.
Came here for 2 separate issues and had 2 different therapists. My first, Sharon-anne was awesome. I saw her virtually after throwing my back out and she came up with an accessible and realistic program. She was patient and not unwilling to try different things. I really felt like she cared about my physical well being. She has since left the clinic and now I'm seeing Ala for a different issue. She's great too, very confident and realistic with goals. I just generally like talking to her too! Love this place and as a professional baker I will no doubt be needing another visit to the clinic in the future.
I have seen Adam at Cornerstone Physiotherapy for help with two challenging injuries. As an orthopaedic surgeon, I have the opportunity to work many physiotherapists. When the time came for me to be a patient, I knew that Adam was who I wanted to work with. His comprehensive approach to assessment and the construction of a treatment program is outstanding. I have had nothing but excellent interactions with the staff at his facility. I would, and do, recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy to anyone in the need of their professional services.
They are very nice and accomodating! Professionals and friendly, you’ll feel at ease with them. Thanks Julia for helping me recover, i’m feeling better now. Also Tiffany for being so welcoming everytime. Highly reccommend this place to all.
Went for physio sessions and the clinic had all the necessary protocols in place to make one feel safe and protected. My physio - Alex - was awesome too. Very patient and thorough - explained each process along the way. After a few sessions I feel so much better. Highly recommended!
Very accommodating staff. Pleasant to deal with. Rana is a knowledgeable and friendly physiotherapist. I have progressed a long way after ankle surgery.
After suffering from a pinched nerve, I am now recuperating and 100% pain free. I got Rana Sunder as my PT and the guy is amazing! He is very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The staffs were also very welcoming and professional. Overall, I would give them two thumbs up!
In November 2019 I met Alex with unbearable, excruciating, pain in my hip from an exercise injury while on vacation. Using a model of the spinal column, Alex discussed the problem and started the therapy. Alex is very confident in his knowledge. After meeting for a few sessions I started to get slow incremental improvement but the pain would return. Alex introduced different approaches and techniques to help resolve the issue. I stuck with the exercises and introduced other physical activities which eventually contributed to full recovery. I am truly amazed that for the level of pain I was in, I recovered - its just seemed impossible and I though I'd never have the issue resolved, but with perseverance, my prayer and faith and Alex's knowledge and skillful physiotherapy I am pain free. Alex is now my physiotherapist and would definitely recommend him!
I had a great patient experience at Cornerstone Physiotherapy with Yvonne - she was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable with every visit. With her guidance, I was able to achieve my goal and am now more aware of how my muscles are working. The front desk staff were also welcoming and accommodating. Thank you!
Yvonne my therapist was an excellent clinician, she listens to your concerns and gives you exercises/treatments that help treat the condition. After 3 months of physiotherapy my knee improved and I can walk without pain/discomfort. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy.
I found Amanda to be very caring and knowledgeable. She always followed up by sending exercises and reports via email. It really helped me to get over the pain of a serious broken arm. I would recommend Amanda to anyone!
Great service. In 3 visits my back pain was gone and I've been given a simple set of exercises to do to maintain my pain free condition.
My physiotherapist Ala, at Cornerstone, provided the most attentive, knowledgeable and caring service. I saw her over the course of several months for a long standing neck and shoulder issue, a piriformis issue and then a herniated disc in my lower back. Ala provided excellent treatment plans that fit well with my schedule and fitness regime, continually monitoring my progress and making any necessary modifications. She is utterly delightful to work with. But what was truly above and beyond the call of duty were her email check ins and inquiries when she was unable to attend at the office due to an unforeseen family crisis. At a time when she should have been attending to her personal and family needs, she took the time out to ensure that my pain levels were being managed and to inquire about my needs and well-being. She is truly a remarkable health-care provider.
Giacomo is an amazing physiotherapist. Professional, highly competent, exceptionally warm and caring and gives you just the right push to keep you focused on your goal. I highly recommend Giacomo and this Clinic. Everyone is nice and friendly at the reception.
Went for physio sessions during COVID-19 and everyone was masked and distanced so I felt quite safe! Alex was such a huge help with my back pain. He patiently explained exactly what was going on with my spine. With his recommendations, I'm now back to 100%!
Cornerstone Physiotherapy (College Station) is a remarkable place. The staff are friendly, hours are accommodating and overall, the agency is responsive to client needs. Appointments were timely and the pricing is reasonable. Jocelyn M is a FANTASTIC physiotherapist. She has sound clinical judgement; she takes time to understand your health needs and listens compassionately to how your needs translate to your overall health and function. Not only is her clinical practice commendable, she is compassionate and thoughtful. Even on days that I have not been in clinic, she has taken the time to share information, resources and additional supports that would benefit my overall rehabilitation. I began seeing Jocelyn pre-surgery and she was very attuned to developing a rehab plan that would target my pain levels and improve my overall function. Post-surgery, Jocelyn did a fabulous job shifting focus and creating a treatment plan which worked toward achieving function back to my baseline. She is an asset to Cornerstone; there were times where she accommodated her time and day in order to meet my needs. I highly recommended connecting with Jocelyn if possible. Overall, my experience was wonderful; I felt heard, a part of my treatment plan and cared for during the care that I received.
This is a great center. I was very happy with the results.
I have been a patient of the Cornerstone location at 55 University for a while now. Over that time I have been a patient of two of the PTs (Laurel and Melissa ) and I’m also a patient of Joon at the dizziness clinic. All three are amazing. Cornerstone has great staff who place an emphasis on the fastest recovery possible. I appreciate the holistic approach that Joon takes. The front desk staff are friendly and professionals and the environment is positive and welcoming.
Incredible professionals. Fixed my back by assessing me thoroughly and teaching me a few simple and perfect exercises.
As an orthopaedic surgeon, I trusted Adam Brown and his team when I tore my ACL. Adam was very accommodating and worked around my hectic work schedule. His professional demeanour, knowledge and understanding of injury and rehabilitation were a driving force for my recovery. I have since been able to return to playing recreational basketball and I would highly recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy to anyone with a musculoskeletal injury!
I keep on returning to Cornerstone every time I have an issue because of great experience, from the moment I enter the clinic (front desk staff) to the treatment and follow up. Clearly, the hiring team has a knack for getting great people: professional, knowledgeable, caring. You will never feel pressured to come back. They'll do their best to include you in the treatment plan, and they want to see you get back to your routine asap. Whenever someone is looking for treatment, Cornerstone is on top of my list of places to recommend. Actually, it is the only recommendation I'd happily make! :-) Thank you to Hayley, Giacomo, Matthew, Olga, Kathleen and Shirley!
I have been working with Giacomo for over a year as my physiotherapist and he has always been a huge support during my injury. He has been amazing in terms of trying new things when the techniques tried weren't working and always willing to listen to what I had to say about my own injury. The entire staff at cornerstone have been amazing and friendly and I would definitely go back to Giacomo if needed.
My therapist Giacomo was outstanding.
Great clinic - professional staff and great results.
Alex Restrepo was a fantastic Physio. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for top quality service in Toronto!
I had really great experience with Cornerstone physiotherapy. They push you hard and help you in achieving your goals. I really loved my physiotherapist, Hayley Shannon. She is such a lovely, friendly, dedicated and hardworking person. Totally recommend her!!!
I found cornerstone was a great clinic as they don't just stop and offer you the help they can but also connect you with others when things are out of their scope . I benefited greatly from the therapy I got and really enjoyed working with the therapists
We had an excellent experience dealing with knee pain. Highly recommend! Giacomo was very helpful and knowledgeable!
Sharon-ann Graham has been very professional, knowledgeable and caring! I was very impressed with our initial appointment, she took her time to thoroughly analyze and diagnose the injury and came up with the rehabilitation program that works. I would highly recommend her!
I worked with Jocelyn on a shoulder issue I was having. She was excellent to deal with and understood/diagnosed the cause of my problem immediately. I found the sessions in the office/clinic to be helpful, but even more so were the exercises she gave me to improve my condition between sessions.
Excellent care and attention provided; Completely recommend seeing a Pelvic Floor PT.
Had a great experience with the company and Giacomo in particular. Highly recommend!
Adam & Giacomo have been a great help to me over the years. A great team providing great service.
I recently required my first visit to a physio and am so glad my experience was with Jocelyn at Cornerstone. This girl does amazing work! Jocelyn was super knowledgeable, friendly and cheerful, while still being the utmost professional and maximizing her time with me as a patient. I truly felt she went above and beyond with her treatment. If you are in need of a physio, look no further!
I contacted Cornerstone right in middle of pandemic for my acute pain in shoulder. Not only they accepted me but also led me to recovery path by being available during this difficult time. Special thanks to Giacomo for positive guidance throughout my recovery time. My gratitudes. Regards, Vinay
There are not enough Google stars to express my gratitude to my physiotherapist, Ala, and the team at Cornerstone. When I met Ala, I was experiencing pain that limited my physical abilities and affected my sleep and work. With Ala’s expertise, I was completely rehabilitated and we developed an exercise routine to prevent re-injury. Today, I’m pain-free and able to enjoy all my favourite physical activities. Thank you, Ala! Your knowledge and care helped me get through a very difficult time.
I have been attending Cornerstone Physiotherapy on College St and have found their operation to be thoroughly professional. The reception staff does a great job of handling both appointment bookings, and have a great understanding of the various insurance coverages people have and processing claims on their behalf. They are very pleasant as well as helpfulto deal with, so your first impressions of Cornerstone is very positve. I worked with Alex R., one of their physiotherapists for a couple of injuries that I had (neck and then shoulder issues). He did a great job of designing a series exercises to safely re-hab my injuries and added variations and additional exercises as I progressed. He took the time to explain what the causes were of the pain and why he was advising particular exercises to alleviate the discomfort and lack of mobility. His manner is very professional, and at the same time he understands the pain that you are going through and has a very friendly, supportive demeanor that is encouraging during the recovery process. Alex was able to get me healed to the point where I no longer require appointments with him, but should I need assistance for any other injuries in the future, I would certainly go back to Alex and Cornerstone.
I had an amazing experience with Cornerstone Physiotherapy Сlinic! Only after 4 visits to Alex my lower back pain that was lasting almost a year disappeared! I would definitely recommend them!!!
I have been receiving physiotherapy treatment since June 2014 from physiotherapist, Marcia Correalo of Cornerstone Physiotherapy Clinic in Toronto. My family physician referred me to Marcia for my cervical disc disease, which has occurred three times in one year. I had been fearful and depressed thinking of the worst case scenario as the symptoms became more severe; however, my therapist was very skillful, sympathetic, careful and professional and was able to determine what methods were effective to address my symptoms. Marcia provided me with excellent treatment including acupuncture. In fact, I have no more nerve pain which kept me away from having a normal life, and as a result, I will be returning to work very soon. Additionally, the administrative staff are very kind and efficient, and the location is excellent. I am really happy to have been receiving treatment from Marcia, and would highly recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy to whoever needs physiotherapy.
Everyone is so nice and I have felt so much better after my injury with help of Ala.
Rana is just amazing!
Very Professional
Haley is an excellent physiotherapist. She listens really well and easily connects with you. She is knowledgeable of her profession and other helpful medical resources to help with healing. I would highly recommend her.
The team at Cornerstone are great. Alex at the Carlton St. location helped me recover from 2 sprained ankles (yes, it was hard to sprain both). He started me off with some excercises that I could do at home, and layered on more strenuous excercises over several weeks. It was lots of work, but Alex was always encouraging. I would definitely recommend Cornerstone!
Amanda is a such a great, friendly physiotherapist!
Very helpful, patient and kind. Always on time, never felt rushed during appointment. I will definitely be back as needs be. Was recommended by my family Dr. who I have great faith in and she was right again!! Will definitely Jocelyn to anyone who requires care.
Hayley was an outstanding physiotherapist!
Just wanted to share my experience during this pandemic, had my physio here due to a shoulder injury. My physio therapist was Alex, he had a great understanding of my injury and what my capabilities were going to be from the first day. Gave me knowledge and strength to continue my workouts, gave me a chance to ask many questions and just understand what my limits were and how to modify my work/workouts. Just thought it was the least I can do was leave a review for individuals looking for a place to do their physio, as they have various types of equipment and machines, welcoming staff and kept the place cleanly.
Due to chronic injuries & illness, I’ve been seeing Hayley for a long time, seeing great benefit & pain relief from the techniques used (hands on, taping, exercises). I switched to video sessions 6 months ago due to the pandemic & have been really impressed. Without concerns about being able to get myself home after, we have been able to push limits further, so I have progressed even faster in some aspects than we could in-person. Biggest stand-out of video sessions was the difference it made after I had a pretty serious fall on some stairs, once again injuring an already messed up knee. Hayley assessed range of motion, location of most significant pain, impairment, & swelling, & made recommendations for (and took me through) exercises to help with all of the above. She was able to walk me through kinesiotaping my knee, to give it a bit of support (mainly for pain relief & oh! Did it ever help!). Two sessions & two weeks later, I was pretty much back to where I had been before the fall. Based on past experience with injuries specifically to this knee, this would have usually taken much longer (likely a month+) to come back from it. I credit the amount of work we had been doing to build up this knee before the fall, plus the exercises & taping while recovering. Needless to say, I’m extremely happy with level of care I get at cornerstone. With the pandemic dragging on, I plan to keep going with the video sessions. Once it’s safe to be out & about again, I foresee a mix of video & in-person, to get full benefits of what Physio can offer.
Giacomo Silvestre was an excellent therapist. Good follow-up. Helpful email with illustrations of exercises. They have recently renovated their office and now the premises look modern and inviting. Would highly recommend.
Jocelyn is an amazing physiotherapist- extremely knowledgeable and professional. She always takes time to actively listen, educate, plan and reflect on progress.
With a severe injury to my right rotator cuff, I found my way to Cornerstone. I am fortunate to have been teamed with a physiotherapist who is very professional and a team player. Alex always treats me as a partner in my treatment and is open to hearing my thoughts about my own progress. The front office staff is warm and friendly and efficient. I believe the entire staff reflects the values of the company. I would recommend this team to anyone in need. Warren Estabrooks
Exceptional experience! Friendly front office staff provided excellent support. My physiotherapist, Alex, with his high levels of knowledge, experience and dedication, particularly during the months of Covid-19 self-isolation, was able to help me fully recover from two long standing issues.
Awesome. I had been suffering with dizziness and headaches for around 8 weeks and after a lot of tests from the doctors they referred me to Cornerstone. I had a very thorough examination with Sharon-anne and she identified the problem through some manual tests and video/computer tests (which felt a bit Star Trek:)). She performed some treatment while I was there and then a few things for me to do over the next 48 hours and I feel the best I've felt in a while and the dizziness has gone. Really impressed with the whole experience. Very professional, very thorough and I was fixed in one appointment! If I have any recurrence I will definitely be back!
The latest of many visits to Cornerstone for me was last week for a bout of vertigo. I saw Joon, as I have done in the past for this. He checks me out thoroughly, and then performs the Epley or Repositioning Maneuver, which cures my symptoms almost immediately. Joon is excellent at what he does and takes all the precautions necessary to ensure my well-being while he does this procedure. You can google Epley procedure for a thorough explanation of it. I have also seen Adam off and on for several years due to injuries that I have had with a Rotator cuff, broken wrist, and Meniscus surgery just to name a few. He has helped me to overcome one issue after another through physical therapy at the office, and ongoing therapy which he recommended that I perform at home. Adam is top notch. Cornerstone is a vital happening in the College and Yonge area, and because of the work that I do I know of many other people who feel the same as I, and would highly recommend them to their friends and family. It's a pleasure to walk into the office and see Jacki's smiling attentive face, and to know that you will be seen promptly and have your needs attended to. Thank you, Cornerstore!
Had an excellent experience at Cornerstone Physio. I was working through both ankle and knee issues and my physio Alex was responsive to looking at both problems on the same visit, identifying what needed more work and making a plan to get me back to a functional and comfortable baseline.
Ala took care of my knee and gave me many exercises to work through. Helpful and caring. I have seen two other physiotherapists at Cornerstone over the last 8 years and am always happy with the attention, knowledgable advice and treatment I get. Excellent.
Alex is a great PT! He helped me with a shoulder injury and I am now pain free and stronger than ever.
My OS referred me to Cornerstone for help with rehab on a lingering impact injury on my left knee. I was even lucky enough to get a strength and biomechanics assessment appointment with Matthew Wainwright the same day as the referral! Matt has been fantastic to work with since then in follow-up appointments and gives great feedback. He's not only a talented PT with a professional demeanour, but easy to get along with and will also make you laugh! He identified some muscular imbalances and helped me with programming to strengthen up complementary muscles. This has taken load off my knee so it can recover with the demands of day-to-day life. He has also reminded me of the importance of patience, self-restraint, and diligence during the rehab process. As a result, I've regained and expanded strength in my core and legs, which is allowing me to become a more well-rounded athlete. It should also be noted that the receptionists are also super friendly and helpful - namely Laura and Kate! Highly recommend this place.
Giacomo Silvestri (Physiotherapist) and Matthew Johnson (RMT) provide expert treatment, great care, and are great to explain everything.
Prompt service and provides clear long term strategies for rehabilitation.
I started getting pain in my left knee. My family doctor sent me to see a specialist. She said it was basically wear and tear and she was not recommending any action, just to go back and see her in 6 months. A doctor friend of mine suggested I go and see a physiotherapist and recommended Cornerstone where she had been before. I had five or six sessions with Giacomo after which I went to Spain for 3 weeks and walked many km each day and my knee felt fabulous. Giacomo was very professional and friendly. I felt he was knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about and, basically, he got rid of the pain by giving me daily exercises which I do diligently. Bottom line is that I was thrilled to have gone to Cornerstone and Giacomo. I would strongly recommend him.
I’ve been coming to Cornerstone for many years and have been treated by 3 different PT. I’ve had great service and I highly recommend them. I highly recommend my current Physio Therapist (Ala Hojjati). She’s very knowledgeable, professional, and has a great ‘bed-side’ manner! The office staff are always pleasant and professional. IH
An Appreciation of Aaron Stewart: I have had lower back problems for decades. At some point, seemingly for comfort, my default standing position became a slight stoop forward. I didn’t like this. I first saw Aaron about this matter. She listened to what I had to say, examined my spine, assessed my lower back and abdominal muscles, and put me through some exercises and tests in order to determine a course of treatment. Within a relatively short period, she had me standing straighter in complete comfort. During my treatments for my lower back issue, I learned that Aaron is a Certified Vestibular Therapist. I had some frightening episodes of vertigo a couple of years ago and have had occasional smaller episodes in recent times. I had seen two doctors about the problem with no resolution. I asked Aaron to examine my vestibular issue. She speedily diagnosed my problem as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and treated me immediately. I did not have another episode. At a follow-up visit, Aaron confirmed that my BPPV was in retreat. There are no guarantees that BPPV is permanently cured; in fact, after several months, I had a need for another treatment, which again set me on the right road. Aaron is a lovely person; she is very personable and she has a charming personality, which makes her a joy to work with. If my experience is typical, she listens carefully; she is intelligent; she is thoughtful; she clearly cares about the welfare of her patients; she seeks to educate her patients with respect to their issues and her treatments; and she communicates well.
This place is truly awesome. I’ve used them a few times to help me rehabilitate from my sports injuries. They are professional, knowledgeable, friendly & courteous. I dealt with Philip L. at the clinic. He’s a super nice guy & can help you get back on your feet in no time. Thanks Philip & Cornerstone for getting me back to 100%.
Hayley Shannon helped a lot with rehab for an ankle injury. She is great and I saw a huge improvement in a very short time.
My physiotherapist Philip was super great, he’s been really helpful and patient! Highly recommend!
Cornerstone came recommended by my physio in Vancouver, so I was surprised to find that the receptionist who took my call was not particularly friendly or helpful. She was unable to provide information about differences between virtual and in-person assessments and did not offer to find out for me. This is not necessarily a reflection of the skills at Cornerstone, but she was the first point of contact and makes me unlikely to want to inquire further. Edit (after response from owner): I appreciate the response and willingness to rectify the situation, so I have changed my review to 3 stars, but am not interested in further contact at this time. Thank you.
I've been dealing with vertigo off and on for the last 15 years or so (not fun!). I like Cornerstone Physiotherapy because they have expertise in this area. Giacomo was great at really trying to understand my problem, giving me targeted exercises, and support and optimism that I will return to normal. I'm good right now, but will go back there if I have any further issues.
I was referred to Cornerstone Physiotherapy by my physician as she had already heard great things about the clinic. My physiotherapist, Jocelyn, was friendly, professional and always running on schedule, so I never had to wait. I left after my final session feeling great and I can definitely say that it was Jocelyn's work and coaching that eased the pain and got me on the track to recovery. Thanks Jocelyn and Cornerstone! I have recommended this clinic to others.
I was comfortable and pleased with Giacomo and Cornerstone Physiotherapy over my appointments this year for a temporary injury. My physiotherapist was knowledgeable, explained my treatment plan and addressed my questions and concerns. I was also comfortable with the building, office and physiotherapist's thorough COVID-19 safety protocols. Although I hope to avoid future injuries, I would be very comfortable returning here if needed.
I highly recommend Cornerstone for anyone needing physiotherapy. I have attended this clinic for several injuries over the years and have ALWAYS had an exceptional experience. The physiotherapists I’ve seen are really knowledgeable and are able to get to the cause of the problem and I quickly feel better. But I also find they are caring and empathetic and truly listen to any of my concerns and treat me like I’m the most important part of their day. The receptionists are so friendly and helpful. They’ve been great at answering any questions that I have about my appointments and insurance payments. The clinic is in a great location. You literally step out of the College subway station and the building is right in front of you. I’ve referred many of my friends and colleagues to Cornerstone over the years, and I plan on referring many more in the future. These guys know physiotherapy!
Hayley has been an amazing physio in helping me with upper back, arms issues and shoulder injury. I could not thank her enough for her great support and patience in walking this journey with me. She has thoroughly examined the cause of my injury and cared about the underlying emotional needs that might exacerbate the pain. I wish to have her as my therapist at the beginning!!
Awesome!!! My mother has been a practising physio for over 50 years so I grew up well aware. I found myself requiring knee surgery after a particularly nasty torn miniscus. The procedure was extensive and the recovery was painful and long. I am quite certain my eventual 100% recovery would not have been possible without the skilled, knowledgeable and motivating treatments provided by Adam and his staff. I honestly cannot recommended and endorse Adam and Cornerstone enough!!! It is rare these days to see such passion and commitment!
I could not get out of bed one morning due to severe vertigo. Thinking that I was having a stroke I rushed to see my MD who diagnosed BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) and recommend Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). It only took ONE, 45-session with Joon of Cornerstone Physiotherapy for a complete recovery! It has been over a year since and I am completely symptom free. Thank you Cornerstone Physio for giving me my life back!
Giacomo is a great physiotherapist. He did great efforts in understanding my problem and giving me a permanent treatment. His approach to treat patients is quite unique. I highly recommend him to everyone specially people with chronic issues.
I highly recommend Cornerstone. I first saw Giacomo Silvestri for a bout of persistent BPV (vertigo) and I was so impressed with his approach to diagnosis and treatment that I asked him if he could help me with some longstanding back pain issues. I had consulted a few physios about this over the years, but Giacomo's methodical approach and clear communication, working through various stages of the problem have given me the best results, and now although I still have some pain, I have the tools to manage it on my own.
yonge-sheppard location is great offering easy accessibility to clinic with quick, friendly and reliable staff. treating team provided excellent professional services - highly recommend!
Had some bad neck/upper back issues. Cornerstone was able to get me in quickly to have it looked at. Met with Jodi and she was able to diagnose and help fix the issue. It took a couple of appointments to help get me sorted out but the best part was that the exercises and stretches she taught me have helped prevent the problem from reoccurring. Any funny aches or pains, I will be back there for sure. Should also note that not only was the physiotherapist great, but any staff I have dealt with have also been great.
Cornerstone has highly skilled professional staff. I took their physiotherapy services. Ala did a great job and I am very thankful to her for helping me. Getting an appointment was easy and quick. I highly recommend Cornerstone.
I had a terrific experience with Giacomo and I highly recommend him.
Giacomo is a fantastic Physiotherapist! I highly recommend!
I had a great experience at Cornerstone and their staff were always friendly. I was treated by Giacomo for an old ankle injury that will eventually require surgery. Giacomo's treatment helped me recover some range of motion and strength in the ankle which allowed me to walk normally without pain. He always patiently listened. He always insisted on emailing him questions/concerns and would follow up in between sessions. I would highly recommend Giacomo.
I have been a client of Cornerstone for several years: they've helped me overcome disabling shoulder pain, left knee injury and–most recently–right knee surgery. In each case, they progressed me to a point where I was stronger than before the injury. I strongly recommend Cornerstone for their understanding, professionalism and optimistic approach to exercise. The benefits of sticking with their programs have been immeasurable for me.
My 67 year old mother developed vertigo. Her family doctor prescribed an anti-nausea pill and physical exercises for Positional Vertigo. After weeks of following orders, her condition did not improve and instead worsened due to anxiety and depression that developed in relation to vertigo. Anna Staruszkiewicz, Vesibular Therapist, performed a thorough examination on my mother. Anna was incredible. Recognizing my mother's vulnerable state, Anna performed each test with care and explained every step in order to comfort my mother. The end result was a diagnosis we all understood along with exercises tailored to my mother's specific issue. My mother came out of the appointment with a great deal more confidence ready to push through the vertigo symptoms. We highly recommend Anna and the therapies at Cornerstone!
In height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, when it was announced stay at home order, I could find the Cornerstone Physiotherapy Clinic which is the Top Choice Award Physioterapy in 2021 at the GTA and I crawled into regarding my severe shoulder injury to have some physiotherapy treatment, where they have adapted well for Coronavirus disinfection and cleaning. Alex my best physiotherapist is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is a great listener and he genuinely cares about you. He lifts your spirits as well as helps you feel well physically. I could not recommend Alex more highly.
Very professional and friendly environment
Went to Cornerstone for intermittent foot pain and swelling which had been bothering me for months. Ala was able to pin point the cause and treated it perfectly. My pain has completely gone away now and I feel a 100% again. Ala and the staff at Cornerstone are very welcoming and very knowledgeable, and I highly recommend them.
For two years I’ve been trying to get pain relief and it’s been like looking for a needle in a haystack. That was until my GP referred me to Cornerstone. Giacomo patiently assessed my situation, and didn’t make me feel inadequate for not being able to precisely describe my pain, show him exactly where it hurt, or give him details as to what activities aggravated it, made it worse, or didn’t bother me. I’d been in pain for a long time and was pretty frustrated. Everything hurts some days, and other days it didn’t. Giacomo ran me through a series of exercises, pushed my body this way, that way, repeated things and not once showed any signs of frustration. He recommended some simple exercises, booked several follow up appointments and has been extremely thorough. He had a pretty good idea of what we were dealing with and he was very honest with me and figured out what two other therapists hadn’t been able to, and what diagnostic testing confirmed. I’m waiting for a full hip replacement now, and Giacomo is working with me to strengthen my body so I’m as ready as I can be for surgery. His technique is incredible, I was frightened to allow him to do dry needling as I had a bad experience at the last clinic I attended. Giacomo still managed to get me to swear once, but it is tolerable and seems to be working. On a separate note, Olga who work at the front desk is incredible. She is professional, friendly, efficient, empathetic and really runs this place. If I needed someone to be the face of my organization, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to offer Olga a job. She’s that good. This place is a 45 minutes drive for me. There are closer places I am sure, but with the relationships I’ve developed here in a short couple of months, I wouldn’t think of switching. When I’m hurting, this is where I want to go. I trust them, I respect them and I am grateful to them and my Doc for introducing me.
I am writing this review because I had the misfortune to witness an incredibly rude patient berate and then threaten Olga, one of the kind and professional receptionists, with a bad online review. As I have never written an online review for a business before, I thought I should in this instance as my family has received nothing but outstanding treatment and service from Cornerstone for a decade. Where should I start? Adam helped my wife successfully recover from a serious wrist injury that could have compromised her ability to continue her dental practice. He also expertly treated her torn rotator cuff, eliminating the need for surgery. Joon cured both my and my 90 year-old mother-in-law's vertigo issues with cutting edge vestibular therapy. Courtney literally brought me back to life after a devastating herniated disc injury. Adam helped my teenage son through various knee problems. I go to Anne every week for Pilates treatment that is both therapeutic and preventive. We also "shadow coach" the Toronto Maple Leafs during the sessions. Both Jennifer and Matthew are highly skilled and kind massage therapists who have helped with my back recovery immensely. In an age where our public healthcare system has been stripped bare by decades of government mismanagement, well-run private clinics like Cornerstone are lifesavers.
Dr. Aaron Stewart treated my vertigo at this clinic and she fixed my problem in one visit, she was very professional and experienced. The clinic has excellent equipment to diagnose vertigo, customer service was excellent and my appointment was on time as scheduled. Very grateful and happy with the overall experience and the results.
I have worked with Hayley Shannon to recover from a previous partial ACL tear. Hayley was the third physio I was seeing regarding my knee, and she exceeded all my expectations. Her incredible listening skills, the variety in exercises, and her methodical yet personable approach has been unmatched by any other physiotherapist I have ever had to see. Hayley always sends detailed follow-up emails discussing everything from the previous section, so it was easy staying on top of all the exercises that I could do. Lastly, besides her unparalleled professional competency, Hayley has an incredible ability to make you feel both comfortable in her presence, yet push you to the maximum of healthy progress possible.
I came to Cornerstone with a lower back problem that had been bothering me for over 3 years. I had visited a couple of physios before but the issue was never satisfactorily resolved. I saw Jocelyn during my treatment at Cornerstone. She was very thorough in the initial diagnostic testing and asked lots of questions in order to correctly diagnose my problem. I was a bit skeptical at the treatment plan initially (due to my failed experiences with physio) but she was very attentive to my concerns and made the appropriate adjustments, if needed. Jocelyn definitely cares deeply about her patient's progress and preventing future occurrences of the problem. In a few months, I was able to improve from barely able to lean forward to returning to my regular workouts. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The appointments were almost always on time. I would (and have) recommend Cornerstone to my closest family and friends!
Amazing clinic. Highly experienced clinicians and very professional.
Absolutely amazing experience, and would recommend to anyone. All of the staff are very kind, and are willing to work with your schedule to accommodate you. I personally saw Giacomo for concussion symptoms, and he was extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and went above and beyond with his care, never rushing an appointment. I could not recommend him more for any type of physiotherapy.
I went to Cornerstone Physiotherapy clinic for a slight discomfort that I started to have from running long distances! Ala was my physiotherapist. Ala was very nice, she listened to my complaints, she did her physio check and then she told me what she thinks is going on, she set up a plan for me to work on alleviating this discomfort, which helped me a lot. Ala is very professional physiotherapist, she has a scientific approach in her clinical practice! I definitely recommend her for any one
I heartily recommend Cornerstone to anyone in need of physiotherapy. I have benefited from consulting Jocelyn about three issues over several years. Thanks to her thorough assessment, clinical judgment and the treatments she proposed, all three were resolved. Jocelyn listens attentatively, explains underlying issues, explores options, demonstrates exercises, gives helpful feedback. I take pleasure in recommending Jocelyn for her professional skill, compassionate approach, and congenial personality.
I tore my ACL in Sept 2011 and had surgery in Mar 2012. I started seeing Adam after I tore my ACL and have consistently been happy with the care provided. I got to full leg extension 6 weeks post-surgery which I credit fully to the rehab that Adam put me through. Many people don’t achieve full extension post ACL surgery which limits getting back to an active lifestyle. I have now been going to Cornerstone for almost 3 years. I’ve had similar positive outcomes for other injuries that I have gone to Cornerstone for since first discovering them after my ACL tear. I’ve also received acupuncture from Joon and found his level of care to be excellent with clear focus on patient comfort and improvement in my health. They also have an incredibly friendly office staff.
3 months, 2 visits per week with Giacomo and I’m a new person. Pinched nerve no more. Couldn’t be more thankful for his professionalism and expertise.
Thank you Ala and the receptionist (Mara) were really helpful and supported me. Specially, Ala is a wonderful person, she helped me a lot to recovery my back pain. Again I strongly recommend everyone to use this service and book An appointment with Ala.
Jocelyn is the best! I saw her for ortho PT and throughout my pregnancy for pelvic physio. Highly recommend her!
I've been seeing Ala for a few weeks now to treat a pre-existing elbow injury and she's wonderful. She is always kind and considerate of my needs. Highly, highly recommend!!! :)
