Reviews of Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

Soosan Malek

A friend of mine recommended this clinic. I have been going since January of this year. I am extremely pleased with this clinic. You get excellent service from the time you arrive. From Bill the receptionist to Paul Messner who is my therapist. Paul is a phenomenal therapist. The treatments that I have gotten so far has helped my condition tremendously. I wish that I had found this clinic much sooner. I highly recommend this clinic. It is truly the best clinic that I have been too. Thank you Paul and Bill.

Ian Lee

Had a really great experience here with Aaron Cheung. He was attentive and took the time to truly understand the condition and potential causative factors for my shoulder condition, and gave great guidance for the exercises he recommended. He also followed up by email to check in on my progress and to see if I had any questions...most PTs are either too busy or don't take the time to do this, and it was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Aaron!

Stephen Reed

Very thorough in treatment.

Janet Chau

This is by far the best physio clinic I've been to. I've been coming here for treatment since July 2019. They are very accommodating with early hours and evening appointments. When I first came to the clinic, I saw Dino, then my schedule changed and I started to see Paul. They are both excellent physiotherapists. The switch over was seamless. In other places, they would just hook you up to a machine, let it zap you and leave you. But here, the examination was very thorough, during the treatment the physiotherapist is there with you for the whole time, I have benefited greatly from the manual manipulations and dry needling. My condition is improving thanks to the team. I'd 100% recommend this clinic!

Priyanka Parashar

Thank you very much Dr. Aaron Chang . I had an excellent experience with him for my shoulder treatment . He is knowledgeable, thoughtful and and shows a genuine sense of care.His techniques of physio is awesome and I really appreciate his efforts and patience during my physiotherapy.

Lois Bain

I highly recommend Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy and especially Dino Bertani who helped me rehab my arthritic thumb. He diagnosed the underlying problem and created a care plan to address it. Thank you so much for resolving the problem and restoring the functioning of my hand!

Kamilah RB

The clinic is clean, well appointed, and orderly. We worked with Aaron Cheung and found him to be a knowledgeable practitioner. He is kind, patient, and works to educate and empower his patients as he treats them. He went above and beyond to ensure we understood the regimen and could properly execute at home.

Sylvia Kestenberg

Received top notch advice and care. Recommend Aaron highly

Phillip Teno

I see Serah on/off when needed and always get top quality physio for what i’m presenting with. As a health care practitioner I often refer to Serah & her team for physiotherapy.

Jerina Patel

I saw Serah Park for pelvic floor physiotherapy after having a baby. She provided excellent explanation of anatomical changes and exercises to help strengthen my pelvic floor. She also made me feel very comfortable during the assessment. The clinic seems to run very smoothly, Serah is very punctual. The clinic also validates a portion of parking.

Yadú Fereaud-Portes

Thank you, Aaron Chung, for your excellent therapy and for going the extra mile for your patients. You're such a helpful and honest and compassionate physiotherapist, offering ways to help me heal. I've been so blessed by your careful protection against Covid-19, and your healing instruction. Your kind attitude to motivate me and splendid manners were so stimulating and refreshing as I endeavored to get better in my physiotherapy. I'm so glad my orthopaedic surgeon suggested to me the Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy. Your reception staff, the impecable and sanitized rooms, and you, Aaron, as the therapist, make a perfect combination for the very best place for a safe and excellent physiotherapy! May God richly bless you, Aaron, you have helped me achieve such progress in my healing, that now I'm pain free and able to move freely, even though I was in such pain at the beginning...! Thank you, Aaron, from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely, Yadú Fereaud (former patient) Yadú

Great physio clinic! I've been going to Denise MacKinnon for my back injury the last 2 months and she has been amazing! Super knowledgeable, safe and willing to be flexible to work at the rate of my progression. She was also responsive in communications (email) outside of my appointments if I had any questions. Highly recommend!

Tennis Directors

I was referred to Sereh Park by my urologist for bladder retention and prostate issues. I had been on and off antibiotics for years. Through pelvic floor therapy, this problem has been addressed. Great clinic, great staff. Highly recommend!

Raj Suppiah

As a physiotherapist, I need a trusted network of colleagues to refer patients to when they cannot visit us downtown. The team at Striowski has always done an excellent job treating my patients. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great clinic in the area!

Anna Chun

It was easy to find this clinic on google. My physiotherapist was Serah. She's so professional and was able to help work with me on my shoulder injury. The clinic is very clean and all the front desk staff are friendly. Even during a pandemic, they are able to accommodate to everyone. I would recommend this clinic to all!

Tiffany Cheng

I had Serah as my physiotherapist. After I gave birth I could tell something wasn't right but the drs at the hospital dismissed it as "typical after-labour pains". She diagnosed my symptoms over phone without seeing me. My pain was NOT typical and although it might have possibly healed without intervention, treatment from Serah significantly reduced the time it took to heal and gave me back precious time with my new daughter. I was in so much pain and she was able to help me navigate it with physical therapies and did it cheerfully and gently. Her reception team is also very professional and helpful. I wish she had more availability! But that's really my only "complaint". I highly recommend her!

Brandon Pizzacalla

Great experience with Paul Messner. Very thorough initial evaluation that made me confident in his detailed treatment plan. Will be back!

Kerwin Wong

Update ... I've finished up my official visits and the clinic has been great. Even with the current pandemic I've felt it safe and secure at Striowski. Denise was my PT and has helped me recover from my fracture and get me ready for ski season!

Marty Cugelman

I saw Aaron Cheung for about 6 sessions and was very impressed by his knowledge and dedication. He was always well prepared and taught me a number of stretches and exercises. With each new exercise he would take pictures of me and later on his own time he emailed me the pictures with a lengthy explanation. I am doing a little better with my back issues but it is up to me to do the work needed to get better.

Vaheh Satourian

They provide professional service! very friendly environment, with experienced staff. Aaron Cheung (one of their physiotherapists) is one of the best. He is organized, detail oriented and friendly. I recommend Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy centre and Aaron Cheung! Vaheh

Sasha Reza

I came to this clinic as a referral from my family doctor and I was very impressed with the organization of the clinic. Aaron Chung was fantastic and extremely professional with helping me with my heel pain. I highly recommend this clinic to anybody with Physiotherapy needs.

Nina S

From my first time there, my experience has been great from the start front desk Bill to my therapist Paul who had helped me a lot. I went in with a lot of pain and numbness and he guided me through the whole process and I am feeling so much better...I would highly recommend Paul. Amazing therapist.

Amit Arya

The front staff is extremely courteous and flexible. Aaron is an extremely knowledgable and detail oriented physiotherapist. He followed up with me over email to provide me exercises and worked at the pace that I was comfortable. He has an excellent bedside manner as well. I highly recommend Aaron and Striowski Physiotherapy clinic, the care there is just outstanding!

Sid Choudhuri

I am impressed by Dino's personal attention and ability to explain what he is doing and why.

Kaayla Channe

A year ago I suffered a work related injury and lost sensation in two of my fingers on my dominant hand. Then was told by a doctor at a hospital after a nerve conduction test that I would just have to live with it. There was no treatment for my hand numbness, and would I like more tests to confirm his diagnosis. Luckily I ignored this diagnosis and sought out physiotherapy treatments. What have I got to lose? I started with one therapist (very far from home) then was given a referral to a physiotherapist closer to me. Since I've started with my new therapist (Dino Bertani) at Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy I've seen some rapid improvements. Less numbness, even gaining some sensation back to the bottom of my fingers. My therapist Dino is very skilled with manual manipulation and dry needling. He has a natural born talent for applying just enough pressure to achieve results, is very attentive to your comfort level throughout the treatment, and will verbally tell you what to expect whenever he moves to a new area, so you're not surprised. I am optimistic about fully healing and having full use of my dominant hand again, and he has been honest about setting realistic expectations. It will likely take up to a year (maybe more), but that is excellent news from the previous diagnosis. Kaayla

Sam mcdermott

Great place with friendly staff. Effective treatment techniques. Paul Messner my physiotherapist has enabled me to walk down a set of stairs for the first time in two decades without knee pain. Of course you have to do the exercises. Great work Paul. Sam

Daniella M

Dino helped me recover from an elbow break this spring/summer. He was great! We got a lot of progress in my range of motion and I am able to do all of my daily activities again. I’d definitely recommend Dino & the Striowski clinic - the whole staff team here is very welcoming, the space is beautiful & Dino was very encouraging & helped me achieve my goals! Thank you for your help ????????

Lamond Lee

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron Cheung. He was great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Committed to helping me get better. He was able to accommodate seeing me after work, even into the early evening. Bill at the front desk was courteous and professional too. Email reminders for appointments were sent a few days in advance. I find that to be an optimal timeframe. Sometimes from other places I get appointment reminders weeks in advance and don’t get one closer to the appointment date. This often leads to confusion and possible missed appointments. Basically all of my interactions with Striowski and associates were pleasant. A very smooth running operation.

Kelly Ferguson

I saw Serah for pelvic floor physiotherapy and she was amazing! Very knowledgeable and professional. My issues improved greatly after seeing her only a few times.

Rob Gray

What a great service! Denise is my physiotherapist and she is amazing. She has helped me through my sciatica for few months now as i improve more each week. Thank you to the office team and everyone at Striowski & Associates! Rob

Joanne Fekete

After having my foot rebuilt and requiring physiotherapy to walk normally on it again, I'm delighted to have been so well looked after by Aaron Cheong. He provided me with excellent exercises each visit, following promptly with emails depicting and explaining each new one suggested. Always professional, always helpful, thanks so much for your care and support, Aaron! I'm very glad to enthusiastically recommend the pleasant and professional staff at Strioski and Associates.

Henry L

Aaron did a great job helping me with my wrist rehabilitation. The appointments are always on time. He is very thorough and professional in his assessments and very patient in guiding me through the various exercises. He also has a good touch and bedside manner. He took photos of the exercises and compiled them as an email to me after each visit which turns out to be an excellent source of reference. I highly recommend his service.

Robin Harkness

I highly recommend Striowski & Associates for physio treatments, in particular Denise MacKinnon who treated me. The office is run efficiently and the physio treatment I received was excellent. Denise is very experienced, very personable and very patient answering my many questions. I am very pleased with the treatments received - both in the office and the recommended exercises to be done between visits. The treatments have been effective in beginning to alleviate the issue for which I sought treatment. Thank you Denise!

L. Francisco

I suffered badly from broken clavicle and ac joints .With Aaron help I'd recovered quickly . He is very dedicated and the exercises are very helpful to get my ROM back it even exceeded my surgeon's expectation. Thank you Aaron!

Don McKibbin

I went to see Krista Tanner for physio treatment prior to hip replacement surgery two years ago. She was extremely competent and helpful. This year I developed tendon problems in my right wrist and left hand and finger. Both extremely painful. I had cortisone shots in both areas which helped but did not get rid of the problem. As soon as the Covid issue allowed Striowski Physio opened and Krista has been treating me for approximately 3 months. My tendon issues have improved dramatically. Because I was unable to have treatment due to Covid at the onset of the problem my issues were chronic but Krista has been patient and really helped me. I appreciate her professionalism very much and would highly recommend this clinic . Don McKibbin

fran gigliotti

I have been receiving physiotherapy treatments from Serah Park and must say that she is amazing at what she does! She very professional, friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. I recommend her to anyone that wants to feel whole again. Thank you Serah for all you do! Fran ????????

Joseph Muscat

My fairly short therapy time at Striowski & Associates was very effective and yielded very good results. I felt that my therapist, Aaron Cheung was extremely attentive to my situation, very caring and his methodology especially as it relates to physio exercises improved my situation well in a relatively short period of time.

G Hew

I started to see Catherine Striowski since she was a one person clinic. Sadly for her clients, she has retired, but I am thrilled for her. Her practice has grown successfully over the years with many working under her banner now. Highly recommended!

Terra G.

After fracturing my knee I was referred to this clinic. I worked with Aaron and could’ve have asked for a better Physio. He was very knowledgeable, motivated to understand what was going on and how he could help, clearly passionate about his work, patient and respectful. This will definitely be where I come for any Physio needs from now on!

Catherine Bryck

I have been seeing Denise McKinnon for knee and hip treatment. She is a very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly physiotherapist. With her excellent guidance, I am able to have increased mobility despite my physical challenges. The clinic is extremely clean and the administrative staff are always friendly and helpful. Despite the pandemic, I feel extremely safe when going to the clinic for treatment.

nani v

Too expensive. I was not convinced with the service I received.

James Tarbox

Excellent professional staff and kind, capable, administrative staff.

anita o'connell

I was immediately impressed by Aaron’s serious and thoughtful approach to my specific problem. He was spot on in his assessment of my issues and provided pertinent information for me to read. His follow up correspondence displayed his interest in my progress. The clinic is very clean and people are spaced well apart.

LG

Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy is awesome. If you enjoy being greeted warmly and professionally and having appointments on time, this is the place for you! The office is run very efficiently and you don't feel rushed. I met my physiotherapist, Denise, online because of Covid. The pre-screen evaluation saved so much time and she was able to assess my issue and start me off on some key exercises. The in-office visits are great - my questions get answered, understand the purpose of the exercise and share any concerns. 100% will continue to choose this clinic! P.S. my knee issue is no longer an issue.....

Marilyn Cohen

Excellent, professional care was taken by Aaron Chung, in assessing my problem & implementing a variety of procedures that helped tremendously.

Susan S. Silver

This is an amazing clinic. I am in treatment with Serah and she is highly skilled, extremely knowledgeable, and also very kind and caring. The atmosphere in the clinic is very welcoming and their strict COVID-19 protocols are exemplary. I am confident that with Serah, I am receiving the most current treatment approaches and the best possible care.

ES

Was recommended by a specialist at North York General. I am so glad we went with them. They really practice hands on treatments and track progress, unlike other places that place vibrating pads on your back for 30 mins and call it a day. Saw Denise many times, very empathetic and understanding of pain. She is also very patient with answering questions and explaining things. Office staff are very friendly with changing appointments and late arrivals. The wait time is also not bad, I don't remember ever waiting until I was frustrated. Amazing, worth the money and the drive there.

Mohamed Mustaq A

My surgeon recommended this clinic for elbow rehabilitation. I am very glad that I've got Paul Messner as my therapist, he measured the injury and detailed the treatment process evidently. Thanks to his expertise knowledge and needling therapy which helped me a lot. Thanks to StriowskiAndAsssociates for handling the sanitation process deftly during this COVID situation.

chan karen

Aaron Chung did a great job in helping my son with his rehabilitation on his elbow. He is very professional with detailed assessment. After each session, he took pictures of exercise posture and emailed me to make sure my son followed in the correct way. Aaron always explains in detail with patience to answer my son's questions about what should and should not do during his recovery. Aaron is amazing and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a professional and experienced physiotherapist.

Danielle Kilburn

I am an NCAA athlete who had been experiencing hip flexor pain over a long period of time resulting from sports participation. It was therefore very important to me to find someone to assess the injury accurately and provide an effective plan to help me to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. I was referred to Striowski & Associates by my family doctor and the initial assessment was scheduled with Lianne. I was cautious about going to a clinic due to Covid, so I must first say that the steps that the clinic has taken to keep everyone protected were very thorough and put me at ease. As to the appointment, I was really impressed with Lianne. She is clearly passionate and very knowledgeable, and spent a lot of time to discuss my issues with me and figure out the exact source of the pain – I didn’t feel like she was watching the clock at all, but was focused entirely on my needs. Based on this session, Lianne created a plan that represented the best approach for me based on my ideal timeline for recovery. After the initial assessment, I scheduled several follow up sessions which were extremely valuable because it provided me with expert analysis from Lianne on how my body was responding to the therapy (dry needling and active resistance stretching) and enabled us to make adjustments and consider different methods to keep my recovery progressing consistently. Lianne’s work with me helped me immensely and put me in a position to continue to increase on the treatment plan and increase the intensity of my training when I returned to school. IN SUMMARY: Lianne is clearly excellent at listening to a patient’s needs and dedicating herself to finding a therapeutic approach to meet the patient’s individual needs. I have worked with a lot of therapists over the course of my athletic career and would recommend her very highly!

Sima Aminzadeh

I had a great experience with Aaron. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. After each visit he was summarizing the exercises that I need to do at home and emailed them to me. That was a great help. I highly recommend Aaron.

Inge Weiss

Highly recommended if you want or need to improve your mobility. Very professional, well organized and doing everything necessary to be covid safe. You even get a $5 parking voucher so you only have to pay $1.50 for the parking for a half hour.

Amy Stern

This is a great physiotherapy clinic! I've seen Serah for the last year and Aaron recently for my ankle. They're incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Would highly recommend this clinic!

Joyce Guo

I had a great experience with Aaron. He is knowledgeable and patient. After each appointment, he would write a well summarized report to include all the key points I need to know for recovering. Aaron works on Saturday as well so his schedule definitely fits mine. The location and service of this Physio is also very good. It’s easy to access and the Physio is providing the parking voucher so I do not have to pay on the weekends. The staff here is really nice. They also follow COVID rules and have the hand sanitizer at the entrance so no need to worry about that either. Highly recommend this place!

Paul D

Aaron Cheung really took the time to assist me with my exercises. His attention to detail is one of the reasons why I cannot say enough about him. There is no point in doing exercises if they are being done incorrectly. I will continue to use Aaron's services in the future and I recommend him to new patients.

Laura Gibson

I saw Aaron at Striowski & Associates for lower back and hip pain and have only good things to say about both him and the clinic. I always felt safe (given that it was during COVID) and that the clinic did a great job of ensuring all protocols were followed. From the warm hello from Irene when I first arrived, to the detailed and thorough care from Aaron, to the helpful email follow-ups from Aaron throughout my treatment, I always felt that I was being cared for. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

M Sade

I fractured my wrist severely, and came to this clinic for the physio almost 1 month after the surgery. I have been through more than 12 sessions with Dino Bertiani now. Dino Bertani did an amazing job on my wrist. He is very knowledgeable, absolutely professional, very caring and answers to all the colorful questions I bring up to him very patiently and very thoroughly. I have had an absolutely amazing result at my wrist thank to his help. Mine was a sever fracture, and I am highly thankful for what he did on my wrist. He always uses every bit of each session to work on my wrist. Thank you Dino for being such an experienced, seasoned therapist , and more importantly for being such a great person with amazing personality! BTW, the receptionists are all very cool, especially my favorite one Gloria!

E Ell

Krista Tanner is my physiotherapist at Striowski and Associates. She is a very knowledgeable, skilled and personable professional. I am appreciative of the improvements in my mobility and flexibility. The administrative staff are organized and welcoming. The clinic is well-maintained and there are excellent procedures in place to keep clients and staff safe during the pandemic.

Tyler

Dino has helped me a lot. I'm doing a lot of things I thought I'd never be able to do. Mobility has improved a lot (an example: unable to sit in chair and pick up something from the floor -- now I can deadlift and squat 50lbs easily, and improving), pain has gotten better, getting more sleep, and it's making my mood better. It's a nice ripple effect. L4/L5 and L5/L1 herniated discs, and a groove in knee that makes my knee tracking difficult. Back pain, sciatica and knee pain is what's brought me here. I've tried many other physiotherapists, microdiscectomy surgery, cortisone injections, radiofrequency ablation, medications that target neuropathic pain, and probably other stuff I cannot remember. Surgery helped me a lot, but disc material was fused to my sciatic nerve, where the surgeon had to tear the nerve a bit to remove the disc material and decompress the nerve. I still had some neuropathic pain and mobility issues after surgery. I tried more physiotherapy with a few physiotherapists after surgery to try and get more help. Although, I avoided a lot of the exercises prescribed, because normally they badly hurt me. I was doing awkward movements to compensate in everyday life which affected my knees and just difficult to do anything that required any sort of bending or squatting. I didn't think I could get back to "moving properly" again and reduce pain much, but Dino managed to get me there. Every penny is worth it for me. Very nice guy as well! He's talked me through moments where I was pretty scared to do specific exercises, that have ended up helping me a lot. It can be terrifying to attempt to get better when you think it's not possible after you've tried so many things, and you only expect to get hurt. I was very skeptical at the start and didn't expect much because I've tried so many things, but I'm very glad I stuck through. He's also compassionate and understands how psychologically difficult it is. Very good motivator to help you get started with recovery. Thanks for the help, Dino. You've improved my quality of life a lot.

Isabel Prieto

I saw Aaron for 2 months after knee replacement surgery. I highly recomend him, he is very helpful and is very profesional.

Yvette E.

Initially, my daughter was referred to this clinic by an orthopaedic surgeon to see a different physiotherapist, but on the day of our visit, the person was not available, so we had to see someone else. We are super glad, though, that we met Paul Messner - he is professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring and patient. He always goes above and beyond my expectations! He's an excellent physiotherapist!! The front staff is exceptional as well - friendly and helpful.

Joy Raymer

Thru the years, and various issues, they have been a great team to work with. People are very friendly.

Sandra Quinn

Great physio care for my back A combination of therapy methods — exercise,massage,dry needling ... Paul Messner was great. Worked with a progressive program to end my debilitating back pain and set me up with a plan to strengthen my back going forward Highly recommend this clinic

Anne Marie Ecclestone

I met with Aaron Chung because I was experiencing some right knee pain which was preventing me from regular runs. He introduced me to some exercises from the GLA:D Program from Denmark. I found Aaron to be professional, knowledgeable and timely. I would certainly return to the clinic for his direction in treatment of other injuries.

David Wason

I have physiotherapy sessions with paul messner at this location. He has been courteous, professional and has a wide breadth of knowledge in his field. I recommend his service. Small edit. I have been seeing Aaron Cheung and he's been fantastic! He has done great work!

debra stephens

I went to see Aaron at Striowski and the recommendation of my surgeon. I had surgery on my wrist in mid July and by mid September (despite seeing a physiotherapist regularly) my surgeon told me that I was not being treated aggressively enough. Boy did things change after seeing Aaron. He was determined to get me better and did everything in his power to do so. He is very analytic but also empathetic and very skilled. I was very motivated as I play a number of sports and given my age (well over 60) I had concerns that I had lost the opportunity to get better. I could not recommend Aaron more highly - he was absolutely wonderful. In addition to being great at his profession he took a real interest in me and involved me in the treatment concepts. I am so happy with the service at the clinic which is very careful with Covid protocols, and especially with Aaron's expertise and compassion for his patients.

Veronica Hinz

Paul Messner has been great treating my sprain ankle. He has been using different techniques, explaines what he is doing and gave me a ton of different excersices to recover. He truly care for his paitiente. He is knowledgeable, takes his time to listen to my concerns and answers all my questions. I have refered him to my family and friends.

Kendra Kymm

Every part of my experience at Striowski Physio has been amazing. Everybody on the phone has been friendly and knowledgeable, the front desk is cheery when I go in for my visits and they have strict covid protocols in place for safety. My physiotherapist, Serah, has been fantastic, she explains things thoroughly, keeps detailed notes and is really focused on helping me feel better. Can't recommend her enough!!

Md Mafijul Bhuiyan

The treatment was good, doc gave me some good suggestions whereby I am getting better now. I would recommend other to visit here.

Andrei Dobre

Very professional staff, the physiotherapist helped me a lot with my dislocated elbow and gave me many exercises to work at home. They did not waste my money and the exercises I'm doing at home helped me save money and are efficient in recovering my arm. Thank you a lot!

Carol Moore

Very professional and effective. I highly recommend this practice if you are in need of physio, especially Dino Bertani.

Erin Holman

Very happy with my treatment at this clinic. My physiotherapist Paul Messner is very helpful and patient, he carefully explains everything that he is doing and makes sure I understand all my exercises. He always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. Every time I visit, I feel that I always receive excellent treatment. I no longer have pain and I am seeing improvement daily.

Kirstyn MacKnight

Serah Park is a great physiotherapist. Friendly, knowledgeable. Would recommend coming here.

Anis Kassam

Very friendly and helpful staff. Paul and Peter have helped me a lot, they are very helpful and concerned about my issues.
