Reviews of Kids Physio Group - Toronto Midtown (Physiotherapist)

Lara M

My daughter adores Kasha, which is huge because she would normally be very anxious and reluctant to go to Physio. Kasha is so good with her and makes her feel strong and confident. The Physio environment is fun! We feel very much like we are in good hands with Kasha. She explains things so well to all of us and clearly has a deep understanding of her field. Her follow up with us is excellent. Update: We’ve been seeing Kasha throughout the pandemic and she has somehow managed to make physio fun online. Not easy to do - especially when your child is so tired of being in online school! We are so happy to be back in person with Kasha again. My daughter comes home feeling awesome and has a blast doing whatever Kasha has planned for her (she sees her to correct years of toe-walking). Our daughter’s favourite part of physio is “just hanging out and chatting with Kasha.” She has built such a connection with our daughter and we appreciate how much she prioritizes building that relationship with both the child and the family. Kasha is supportive and understanding when it comes to the realities of getting a 9 year older to do her exercises with us while juggling all our crazy schedules and life circumstances. She just keeps us moving forward!

Jennifer is amazing. Just a few minutes into my child’s assessment, she was able to identify the specific minor issue that was delaying his crawling. Within a day of doing Jennifer’s recommended exercises, my baby was crawling. Jennifer is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I recommend her highly!

Jillian is an excellent physiotherapist. She is attentive and caring. Our family had a very positive experience from start to finish. The facility is clean and bright and the entire team is very professional.

The TLDR version: Super-thankful to Jillian & Toronto Kids Physio for helping our little guy get back on track with his motor development. We were referred by our paediatrician when our son was 9 months old, as he showed a total lack of interest in independent movement and relatively little ability to roll over. With Jillian's encouragement, fantastic techniques to support motor development, and lots of fun toys and games, our son was crawling by 12.5 months, and then walking by 14 months and a few days! We started virtual visits with Jillian in June due to COVID restrictions, which were fantastically helpful for getting our son moving - Jillian was thorough in her assessment, engaged our son (through video chat, amazing!), and carefully summarized our visits by email, including a helpful set of notes on exercises to be practiced. By August, we were able to visit the clinic for in-person sessions, which really accelerated the pace of motor development. The clinic itself, as has been highlighted, is absolutely spotless. All clean items are labelled as such, and items used by one child go immediately into the 'dirty' bin or are labelled in red to be cleaned asap by a staff member. COVID screening prior to arrival, temperature checks on arrival, and of course hand sanitization all help to ensure minimization of the spread of this illness, and impart a sense of security. Our son loved playing with the toys put out by Jillian (especially the Squigz), and climbing up and down the steps and slide; he honestly had so much fun, he didn't realize he was also exercising. He went from a very timid baby who was afraid to even try standing up and cruising to being a very explorative toddler. We are thrilled with his progress and thankful beyond belief to Jillian (and team) for helping to bring our adventurer out of his shell. One other small bonus: Kids Physio does direct billing to insurance. Yes folx, you too can avoid the hassle of filing your own claims. Hallelujah.

I brought my toddler in to see Hillary at Kids Physio after she broke her leg. Within a single session her walk started to return to normal. Both her and I were really impressed with the set-up of the clinic. I found the place to be incredibly clean and organized and the checks and balances to ensure that everything was sanitized was very obvious. She found it very fun and for the first few weeks asked if she could bring her friends. From the eyes of a child - this clinic is just fun and games. They have so many different toys and activities that keep children really engaged. From my perspective, each “game” had a very obvious reason behind it to help correct any imbalances. I was blown away by the creativity behind these exercises and by Hillary’s explanation for why they were doing it. This methodology is really impressive. As an adult I am used to physio being boring but this is a type of physio even I would want to do! Physiotherapist’s tend to have a reputation of wanting to keep a patient forever. This is not the case with Toronto Kid’s Physio. I was willing to have one hundred appointments if I needed to, in order to have my child in optimal health. It seems as though Hillary and Toronto Kid’s Physio WANTED a fast recovery. They pride themselves on getting excellent results quickly and they certainly deliver. At various times during treatment they would do different assessments and ultimately my daughter was discharged by them as they felt she didn’t need more appointments. I feel like this is unheard of for Physio’s as they generally try to keep you forever. Lastly - because we came during COVID re-openings, there were times where I was not able to get in to see her primary physiotherapist (Hillary). We actually were able to see every single therapist here and I can say that communication between the therapists was incredible and the continuity of care was seamless. Every single therapist was incredible and engaging and brought their own version of fun and excitement to the appointments. In my daughter’s eyes she was meeting new friends and there was no fear of meeting someone new. They are all gifted with children and have incredible personalities. I hope that my daughter doesn’t sustain any more injuries in the future, but if she does I am glad to have found Toronto Kid’s Physio. I have recommended it to other practitioners and friends and would come back in a heartbeat.

Marie Richards

This was our first time meeting with Samantha and our first physio experience with our baby. Samantha was so kind and thorough. We are excited to try all the little tips she gave to get the best results for our little girl.

Doug Sitter

Extremely happy with the results! Hillary and Jillian both worked with our daughter to successfully rehabilitate a sports injury. The staff is excellent. The facility is very clean and well maintained. If we do have to seek physio for our children in the future I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Nadia Nasr Saeed

Samantha is extremely friendly and beyond helpful. She’s very thorough and explains everything in details. I appreciate how honest and available she is with information. After my daughters assessment, she made sure she emailed me all the exercises, to make sure nothing is being left out of the routine. If I could give more than 5 starts I would’ve.

Stephanie Ho

Best group of pediatric physiotherapists! Extremely knowledgeable and they know how to work with kids to make them feel comfortable. Would strongly recommend.

Vasu Tenela

Excellent, the way she explained and educated us is awesome, Nice ambience

matt reingold

Hillary exuded confidence and friendliness and made our 18 month-old daughter feel safe and welcome in the office. The space is clean and bright and is a perfect place for children to explore and gain new skills in a creative and fun way. Would recommend Hillary to everyone!

Laurel Ettinger

Kids Physio Group is excellent. We virtually saw Jillian for my 6 month old daughter who wasn't showing any signs of wanting to roll. Jillian was amazing - she quickly identified what my daughter would benefit from working on, walked us through the exercises for us to practice, and sent us an email follow-up with further exercise instructions. Two weeks later at our next virtual appointment my daughter was rolling constantly! Would highly recommend Jillian and Kids Physio Group!

jennifer gans

Hillary was an incredible support for us during our daughters infant stages of development. Our daughter loved her and warmed up to her immediately. Would recommend Hillary to anyone who is looking for a warm, caring, extremely knowledgeable and passionate PT.

Laura Campbell

Samantha is an extremely professional, kind and gentle physio. We met her today for the first time with my 4.5 month old, and she was so sweet with him, and gave us a ton of information to work with. Very grateful for her expertise! The office itself is bright, clean and welcoming. Everyone was very nice. We look forward to returning.

Ava Shafman

I brought my 6 month old son into Kids Physio to work with Hillary. She was very knowledgeable, shared great tips and techniques, and managed to keep him happy throughout the appointment, even though he had barely napped all day!

Rosa Del Azar

This was Aliya's first session with Mo, my daughter is not used to strangers, but Mo's calm, warm demeanor and her patience made it possible for her to be somewhat engaging and curious, considering it's her very first session with Mo, I considered it a win.

Vince Luu

Really easy to talk to. Super friendly with my son. Made some helpful suggestions for at home exercises. We’re impressed ????????

Caitlin Black

So thankful that our pediatrician reffered us to this physio centre. My little guy needed to learn to walk early as our daycare required him to walk in order to start. Jennifer instilled confidence and perserverance in my little man - after our sessions he took more risks and became proud to show off his new skills. He'll definetly be ready for daycare. My husband and i also learned methods/exercises for supporting his progress.

Shira Unterman

I visited Kids Physio Group with my 13 month old. The facility was so clean, and fun! My baby had a great time playing with all the toys, and now we have a home exercise plan to ensure she continues to meet her milestones.

Britney Clinkard

Hillary is incredible. She truly gets children and has been so supportive and helpful as she has worked with our son. He enjoys going and spending time in this bright and modern place that is clearly designed with children in mind. Highly recommend!

Ben Osten

Hilary and team have created a warm, friendly and welcoming environment for kids. We could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend kids physio group!

Lucy Aveling

We were so happy with our experience at Kids Physio. Samantha really understood how to engage my 2.5 year old and he enjoyed playing (aka working) through all the exercises. We appreciated how individualized his programming was and how responsive Samantha was when he needed modifications. His progress was noticeable over the 6 week block. Thanks again for everything!

leah zilbert

Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and creative!!

Brooke Barrington

We are very grateful that we've found Kara and Kids Physio and have been really happy with the support for our family so far. Our son loves attending his appointments and has so much fun using all the neat equipment they have there which is a huge relief to us!

dan joy

Winta Desta is a great physiotherapist! She’s thorough and informative, and gave me some very practical strategies to help my son, who is 5. She’s wonderful with kids! She put my son at ease so quickly - within a few minutes he was no longer shy and she got him doing exercises and having fun. He is already excited to return for his next appointment, and I am confident that she will be able to help us work through the issue he is having.

Irina Kaliazine

This place is amazing and has the best kids physiotherapists. Jennifer H. is so professional and knows well how to interact with kids. They have so much new equipment and the whole place just looks super new, clean and fun for kids! Stuff is extremely helpful and friendly. Will definitely recommend Kids Physio to my friends!

Hiba Zawahreh

Highly recommend Kids Physio. The Centre is awesome with so many equipment and fun things to do. The staff is sooo friendly. Made my son forget he actually doing Physio. Jennifer worked with my son since he was a baby. She is amazing and have so much experience. She actually helped my son have his first step 8 years ago❤❤ Happy anniversary you guys! I wish all the the best and many many anniversary yet to come!

Janine Crookston

Toronto Kids Physio was so great! They helped my daughter gain confidence in her gross motor skills and using the stairs. She’s jumping and trying to balance and explore play structures now. It was easy to book appointments online and the people are awesome. Jillian was very supportive and made appointments very fun. She really got to know my daughter and planned activities she was interested in and willing to push herself to do. My daughter was always so excited to go and still says at home “I can do hard things!”. She loved it there

Christiana

Clean, professional and knowledgeable. We are so happy to have found this facility and Mo was great.

Sanja Braovac

Miss Mo is absolutely amazing! She knows exactly how to treat children, her knowledge is very strong. I would definitely recommend her!

Taylor S

We brought our then-2 month old daughter to Kids Physio Group to treat her torticollis and plagiocephaly. Our daughter’s physiotherapist Jillian was amazing! She showed us simple stretches that we could do with our baby and Jillian really took the time to explain them. After each visit, she sent a personalized outline of the exercises, including visual aids. She also kept us informed of all our treatment options along the way. We were ultimately able to avoid getting a helmet because of the improvement our baby made! Aside from treating the torticollis, we found a lot of value in what we learned through each session, especially as first-time parents. All of the staff and volunteers at Kids Physio Group are really friendly and it’s a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Rochzanne Cervantes

I searched for a place to bring my son for some physio and this place and Mo did not disappoint. They're very friendly, professional, and the place is well maintained. Highly recommend this place!

Janice Leung

Had a great experience here with Samantha. She was great with my son and gave good advice based on my concerns.

Kevin Marryshow

Had an incredible experience with Winta! Super personable and knowledgeable. Had my son trying things out I would have never even thought of. Excited to keep the progress rolling!

Vanessa Manesh

Therapist Winta was very friendly, patient and warm-hearted. First time coming here for us but Winta knew right away how to deal with our son.

Zuoqiao Wu

Dr. Stein has been very helpful and addressed all our concerns. She was friendly to us and gentle with our baby. The environment was nice and clean. It was our first time so we did not bring socks with us. It would be appreciated if a reminder could be sent to first time costumers on this. Over all, it was a great experience. Thank you!

Helen Chan

I owe it to Kids Physio for helping my son Logan treat his torticollis. In just 4 months I was able to see significant improvements in his range of motion. Jillian is an amazing physiotherapist I could not have asked for better care and attention. I will definitely be returning to Kids Physio for milestone checkups because the exercises I've learned during Logan's program has been beneficial not only for torticollis but for general motor development.

Ilana Atlas

I can't say enough good things about Jenn, and how impressive her clinic is! It's so bright and clean, and bonus, parking is convenient too! The receptionists are also super friendly, which is not the case everywhere. Samantha worked with my 6 month old and took the time to explain how to implement the exercises required. In just 3 weeks, my baby was sitting independently! Samantha's energy is warm and friendly, and makes you feel very comfortable in her sessions. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

Elisa Lopez

The staff at Kids Physio were all very welcoming. My son worked with Jillian and from the first session she made him feel very comfortable , which I thought would be difficult as he hasn't had much exposure to different people since being born during COVID . He was highly engaged with her, Jillian incorporated all the exercises into different forms of play . Her suggestions were very valuable , and as we did them at home we noticed great improvement in correcting our sons asymmetrical crawl. Jillian always followed up with our appointments with an email that had detailed steps for the exercises that we had discussed. We are greatly thankful in the service she provided and how invested she was in assisting our son.

Alexandra Chretien

We had a wonderful experience and my son's condition resolved with Kids Physio’s help! Really enjoyed working with Kasha!

Syed Golam Mohammed (Siam)

The exercises Kasha recommended brought about a significant improvement for my son. Also, we had a better understanding of his head flattening condition after visiting the head shape clinic upon Kasha's recommendation. During our follow-up session, Kasha provided some new exercises and we're looking forward to doing them and seeing more improvements.

Kat Kevens

I can’t say enough positive things about this clinic. They have made me feel safe bringing my 15 month old daughter in during the pandemic. Everything is disinfected between clients, temperature checks, hand sanitizer provided etc. The most important part about this place is actual Physio. Hilary is amazing. In 6 weeks my daughter has shown a huge improvement in her mobility. I will forever be thankful

Sari Risen

As a speech-language pathologist, I have experience assessing and treating toddlers, so I know how difficult it is to keep these guys motivated and to have to think quickly on your feet to ensure you can take advantage of all the therapy/assessment opportunities that come up naturally during a session. I’m always in awe of how well Jennifer does this.

Grace Jokinen

Hillary was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough about how truly fantastic the whole experience was.

Abigail Schwartz

Kasha was fantastic and so engaging with our 17 month daughter, even through Zoom. We both had a great time and learned so much during the assessment. Kasha gave some great tips and strategies to help us support our daughter to start walking independently. I look forward to our follow up appointment!

J Hartford

Samantha at Kids Physio Group was great! She really listened to our concerns and made the exercises fun, so my son thought he was just playing games!

Katelyn O'Reilly

Kasha is absolutely amazing! Her knowledge is top notch and she's wonderful with my baby. She makes all the exercises easy to understand and do at home and (most importantly) has never made us feel like there is something "wrong" with our daughter. I can't recommend Kasha enough.

Tenzing

We visited the Kids Physio at Leslieville for my 6 yo son who had injured his left elbow and was not able to touch his shoulder. When we visited, the clinic was nice and spacious, new and not very crowded. We didn’t have to wait long for our appointment. Samantha was our PT and was friendly and energetic from the get go. After the physio session, Samantha emailed exercises for my son to do at home which was easy for him to follow. When we were done, we received calls on my son’s updates. My son has fully recovered and is able to move his elbow with no discomfort and pain. We thoroughly enjoyed my son’s physio at the Kids Physio at Leslieville site and would highly recommend for parents to bring their kids.

Tamara Spence

Such a wonderful facility and clinic. We've had such a positive experience with Jillian. She gave our son exceptional care and boosted his confidence! He loved his time there and had so much fun with all the exercises and games. I highly recommend this physio clinic for kids. Jillian is a thoughtful teacher and therapist!

Elke Rubach

My son has been seeing Hillary for a number of months and it's not just the progress he has made that we are happy with but he has also found it to be a safe, nurturing and fun place to go to. It has never been a "therapy" for him but where he goes to be with Hillary to get better at things he needs to work on. Highly recommend!

Yeomi Lee

Only great things to say. We had one virtual and one in person appointment with Samantha and we are so satisfied with the services that were provided to us. Samantha is professional, knowledgeable, yet personable and compassionate. She has guided us in how to work with our 3 month old baby who had signs of flat head and neck tightness and we have seen great improvement. Also appreciate the front desk staff who made payment through insurance a breeze! Excellent place that I would recommend to any loved one.

Sasha Firestone

Beautiful office! The appt ran on time and I was very impressed with Hillarys knowledge and relaxed demeanour. She was great with our son.

Shira Wolch

Wow, you guys are just incredible. Jen has found a way to make physio fun for my little girl. She loves coming, and she works hard with you. I can see her getting stronger and stronger with each visit. Jen is a professional and talented physiotherapist who really watches for cues from my daughter and responds to her needs. Thank you!

Jeff T

Our 4 month old saw Hillary for a concern that we had about her shoulder. Hillary was so great with our daughter, and we left feeling very confident with her assessment and happy with the plan we had in place. Would highly recommend this clinic - our entire experience was wonderful!

Sarah Atkey

Everyone at the clinic was great. Samantha, my son's therapist, was very knowledgable and amazing in her interactions with him. He started therapy as an 18-month-old non-walker, arriving in a stroller, and ended therapy at 20.5 months zipping around everywhere with a huge grin!! I could tell that he felt at ease with Sam even when he needed to do things that were difficult for him - he had fun during the sessions. I can't recommend the clinic and in particular Samantha highly enough!

Kristen Murray

I visited Kids Physio with my 1 year old for a Motor Milestones Assessment. The office is clean and bright (newly renovated), and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I came away with some great tips as to how to help my child achieve their next motor milestone (Hillary taught me how to position my son to teach him how to stand up without pulling himself up) and learned more about “w” sitting and out-toeing. Would definitely recommend!

Danielle Kolenko

Kasha is absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable, patient and so much fun. She knows just what to do to challenge my daughter as we have seen excellent progress with her gross motor skills. The confidence and independence in my daughter's walking has improved greatly because of Kasha's help and expertise. We feel so lucky to have found her and Toronto kids Physio.

Kim Cooper

Jillian worked with our 1 year old daughter who was not able to crawl or pull herself to stand. After a few sessions she learned these milestones and is so proud of herself. Thank you for your help!

Fara Redlick

Hillary is fantastic with kids!

Alba Hasanaj

Kids Physio is the best place to go and I highly recommend! Hillary helped our son to achieve his milestones in time eventhough he had mild scoliosis. We have been so happy to being helped by her and her team. She’s adorable. Their receptionist is so nice and smiley and great with kids too. All the team are professionals and great people. The place is so cozy and clean and my son loved all the toys.

Anna B

Kasha and Megan have been such a pleasure to work with. They have both helped my son with his toe walking. We are seeing improvements all the time! They make coming to Toronto Kids Physio an appointment we can look forward to. In fact, all the staff we have had the pleasure of meeting at our clinic visits are kind and accommodating and as my son says "they give stickers" ;)

Vera Afanassieva

I would select 6 stars out of 5 if I could :) Great experience today, thank you!

Isabel Barbato

I’m so happy we found Kids Physio Group. We’ve been working with Hillary, she is friendly, knowledgeable and my daughter likes her so much. The location is convenient with parking available and the decor is kid friendly, clean and very welcoming.

Anna Durbin

Really patient with our child and always trying to figure out the best strategy to get our little guy to try new things. We are very happy with them!

Faren Bogach

We had a great experience at Kids Physio! Our kid made so much progress in such a short period of time. Hilary was a great therapist who made the hard work fun. Our kid always was excited to go to sessions to learn and try new things! We highly recommend Kids Physio.
