Moe Abdallah

The staff here are wonderful! I'd highly recommend!

Bob Pender

EQ Physio has efficient and COVID aware staff and procedures. They never run late. Cassandra assessed my problem quickly and delivered treatment that got me back to normal in record time. She also addressed long standing issues.

Simon helped me a lot. I came in for dizziness and shoulder pain. It was very helpful and I would recommend others here too. Champa at reception and Simon for the treatment were great!

Michelle Strong

I came in with terrible dizziness. Paul was amazing. He diagnosed and treated me quickly and already after session 1 I was feeling better and now I am completely symptom free! thanks guys!

Ayman Kaawach

I’ve been going to EQ Physio for a few years to help with various injuries and strains; a few sessions and I’m back to new. More recently, I went for a basketball injury, specifically a 2nd degree sprain to my ankle. Simon Janik was exceptional and was able to identify and treat the injury effectively. After a few sessions I have full rotation and have been provided with the appropriate exercises to continue strengthening the muscles to help avoid future injury. I’m back to playing basketball thanks to Simon’s excellent treatment.

Luvleen Cooke

I came across EQ Physio looking for help in diagnosing my persistent dizziness/vertigo since Jan 2021. Simon and his team were amazing at helping me from diagnosis to treatment and even referring me on to a specialist as needed. Happy to have had the opportunity to learn from Simon and recover.

Great service and staff, thank you.

Been to see Derrin a few times and have nothing but positive things to say. Had some ankle and heel issues from soccer, and he was able to provide great physio as well as insight on what might have caused issues. Highly recommend.

Charlotte Scott-McGarva

I went in with a shooting pain in my right buttock. I was worried it was related to my pregnancy or my scoliosis. They determined it was neither, just my posture at work. They assessed me and gave me a few simple exercises and things to be mindful of while working at my desk and with in a week I was good as new. I had a couple of follow up sessions and was discharged with no problems since. EQ physio came highly recommended by multiple co-workers who had also had great experiences and would highly recommend their services.

I've been treated here for a long time and have always had wonderful results.

Paul is an incredible Physiotherapist. He not only wants you to feel better but also narrows down the root of the cause so that the pain will not return. Growing up as a competitive dancer, I have seen many physio therapists in my life and have never had that service. He takes his time and also checks in on you to make sure that you are feeling well after appointments. The level of care and professionalism is unmeasurable. I will not go to any other Physio!

Sydney Saunders

The first thing you will notice about this Physio place is that the Doctor genuinely cares and takes his time to get to know your lifestyle which in turn helps him to figure out how to help you best. I have never seen any other doctor genuinely care for his patients as much as Paul has. As a matter of fact, I actually feel comfortable calling him Paul instead of Dr. Shin. I have visited the clinic a few times because I have had a few problems with my arms, knees and back. And in each instance I have felt much better when going home. I don't even have to tell him where I need treatment as he normally figures that out himself. I would gladly recommend anyone with physical ailments whether it be through work or sports to go visit his clinic and I promise you that you'll feel much better!!!

Scott Maloney

Paul is outstanding!!! He takes the time to listen to everything you have to say and ensures that he is treating you in the best possible manner. He never makes you feel rushed or that he something else to do, like other clinics. It is clear that his main focus is treating your injury, not rushing you in and out. I will continue to recommend Paul and EQ Physio in the future.

Amazing services

The best physiotherapy I ever had

Doug Penner

I work in an auto assembly plant. After 10 years of repetitive movements, I developed debilitating pain in my foot, resulting in lost time at work and concern about being able to enjoy normal physical activitiy again. Derrins initial consultation focused on piecing together the how and why of my foot pain. I liked his approach because it helped me to understand what was to come next...what to do about it! Derrin quickly identified areas in my foot and leg that responded well to the physio part of his treatment for me. He also showed me how years of repetitive stressors and incorrect posture and walking gait had contributed to where I was. He came up with a plan of attainable, progressive goals. Great demeanor. Expert in his field. Even made it fun. I would easily recommend Derrin to anyone needing physiotherapy. Doug

Laura Shaw

This is a great clinic. Very friendly and knowledgeable physiotherapists! I developed a workplace related injury and I received great treatment from Simon. They were also able to accommodate me quickly and work around my own schedule for appointments. Thank you EQ Physio!

Amit Bhopale

I was suffering with severe numbness and some weird pain in my both the limbs. The pain and numbness were so intense that at times it would keep me awake for hours in night. Great Thanks to Simon who treated me and just in four sessions my pain and numbness was completely gone. I'm now just doing a couple of exercises he has asked me to do and its over a month I had my last session, there is no sign of any pain or numbness. Once again great thanks to Simon for his treatment and helping me in getting rid of my pain.

Rocio Tresierra

I am thankful that my cousin referred me to Paul and Simon! Paul and Simon are very caring and knowledgeable professionals. Simon carefully reviewed in advance all my medical exams and later on explained clearly to me what the issue was and what kind of exercises should help me. Because I am not coordinated, he patiently showed me via email and videos how to accurate do each exercise. I felt improvements since the very beginning and my pain was gone after 3 weeks. During COVID-19, Paul also provided videos via email, with useful heathy information, as we were unable to go in person. We felt that they were there for us even during the quarantine. EQ Physio has very well implemented the COVID-19 protocol and I feel safe to go now. My son had neck pain and also attended EQ Physio and feels great. I am happy that my son is treated there because it is safe and their treatments are very effective. Another advantage is that they process directly the fees to the insurance company. Thank you Roya for the excellent customer service! Best wishes to the Team!!

Rudy Habesch

Due to the COVID-19 unusual restrictions, I was unable to attend in-person sessions and had to work with Paui Shin over video conferencing. Paul is highly knowledgeable and experienced, he understood my problem very well and communicated with my family doctor, managed to provide me with excellent exercises and guided me through video and was highly creative in providing alternatives to my not being able to access proper equipment at home. Having started with excruciating pain and ending up being able to perform all daily functions and to go back to an exercise routine in a short period of four weeks, thanks to Paul, who adapted extremely well to working remotely. I highly recommend Paul Shin and EQ Physio, if this is the kid of professionalism you get working with them online, imagine what it would be like in person!

Angel Camille

Best place to get Physiotherapy from! Highly recommend Sarpreet. She has helped me greatly in recovering from my concussion. Every session is worth while! Totally would recommend booking a session with her. :D

Ramy Bastaros

I was suffering from vertigo for long tim! After first treatment with Simon I was 90% back to normal and after second vist I was 100% back to normal. That was like a miracle to me!!

Emily Chow

I was referred by a friend as my previous therapy wasn't helping much. I went for almost 6 months and still had pain from a sprained ankle. Paul was excellent in finding out the issue and helping me get back to 100%. He listened to my concerns, did manipulations, and helped with stretches and exercises. I was all better after 3 sessions with him. I highly recommend Paul and his team.

Agnes Dlugosz

I am so happy I went to see Paul! He is a professional and quite resourceful. Paul used acupuncture and laser therapy on me. He cared to understand my pain, and with his persistent techniques, he drove to the root of my problem and helped me heal! I would and will recommend Paul to my friends and family!!!

Crystal Clear Reiki

Paul and his team is amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone. He will take his time and try and figure out what is causing your issues and correct them! I have never met a Physiotherapist like Paul, he is hands on and knows his stuff!

Tina D

Everyone is friendly and professional. Great flexibility in appointment times. They really work with you to meet the goals you have for your progress.

Heather Haacke

If you are suffering with vertigo call them! Simon has given me a new lease on life. I highly recommend him:)

Susan Burton

The EQ Physio team are 5 stars!! Their commitment to your wellness utilizing any and all treatments is an innovative combination of analysis, thoughtfulness and creativity. Highly recommend these professionals!

Brian Empey

Paul is an amazing physio

Banger

Paul is very attentive and thorough. He looks to see what is the fundamental problem causing your issue(s), and solves that; opposed to a quick remedy just to alleviate the pain in the short term.

Lori Lang

I have been a client for over 2 yrs and I highly recommend EQ Physio. I’ve seen Simon and Paul and they are both excellent. I have a very physical job and get hurt now and then so I’ve been in for multiple issues. I’ve tried 4 other physio clinics in Oakville in the past. I found the others would repeat the same exact treatments over and over to the point that it didn’t feel like anything was being done. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Roya & Champa on the desk are both very friendly and helpful too.

Emily Schmidt

Simon and the team were amazing. I felt cared for from day 1 all the way to end of my time with them. I’m back to normal self after Simon’s treatment and couldn’t be more relieved. Highly recommend.

Robert Willes

I have been extremely happy with the treatments I have received from EQ Physio over the past 18 months. The physio treatments have returned the functions of my knees to near normal, and I can now walk normally without knee pain. Besides the treatments at EQ's facilities, Simon has provided me with a comprehensive exercise regime that I can follow at home. Also, during the COVID-19 'shut-down', I took advantage of EQ;s virtual assessments using Zoom, with great results. I most highly recommend EQ Physio.

Hannes Van Der Merwe

Since my original experience EQ Physio have provided significant insight and inflammatory relief in my back. We are now on a road to recovery.

Speech Fairies

Paul from EQ Physio was tenacious trying to help me and figure me out from top to bottom. He gives me practical suggestions and excercises that I can work into my daily routine. i love walking out of the office feeling better that I have in years!

Yumei De Armas

Paul is amazing. He stays with you the whole session and takes time to check where the problem might be, trying different approaches. After three sessions I felt so much better! Definitely the best physiotherapist that you could go. It was recommended by a friend, and then by my husband, who had back pain for a while.

Susan E

EQ Physio was recommended by co-workers. I see Paul for physio and Gabe for massages. Both provide amazing service and are great professionals. My husband was also treated by Paul with great results. Highly recommended.

Mona Ruby

Juny is so so so good,friendly and nice. She explains everything regarding my case and gives me the options for it. I have been with her over two months and she won't do something unless she is 100% sure it will help. I am getting better now. I recommend Eq physio to everyone .They are the best.

Stefanie Di Tella

I had a great experience with EQ Physio, I went in with a ankle sprain that would not heal and Paul figured out the root cause of the problem and worked very hard to fix it. He works to get you back to playing your sport as soon as possible while assuring the injury does not re-occur. Paul is definitely my go-to for sports injuries and I would highly recommend!

Kathleen Wylie

Came to Paul Shin after having BPPV (vertigo) for over two months. His treatments cleared it and then he focused on trying to figure out what was causing my chronic vertigo in the first place so gave me exercises which should help to prevent future bouts. He was amazing and very patient and thorough. I would highly recommend him.

Rami Elshaer

very friendly, knowledgeable and understanding!

Deepak C

Highly qualified and experienced staff who are also very warm and welcoming. Very good at all they do to help get things back on track. Sarpreet has been excellent, and I've had very positive experiences with everyone I've dealt with at the clinic.

Mahfooz Ansari

Having a severe shoulder pain, I took the services of EQ Physio. on average, I visited 2-3 times a month for about 8 months there. I am glad I was under the right hand: Sarpreet is amazing; she knows what she is driving at. I would strongly recommend this awesome person to anyone looking for physio help.

SLRfootgrl

I see Paul once a month for IMS Treatment. I travel from Hamilton to Oakville and it is well worth the drive. My treatments allowed me to heal and now I’m on a maintenance schedule to help keep me working and playing pain free. If your injuries keep on coming back, book in with Paul. He can help! If it’s a new injury, make him your first choice.

Gordon Stevenson

Excellent staff, pleasant to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. The home exercise routine has had wonderful results. I would recommend EQPhysio with no reservations. Gordon Stevenson.

Olivia Smith-McKenzie

Excellent and knowledgeable Team. My experience was great. Speedy recovery from the instructions l received. Rooms were clean, your safety was always a priority especially during the pandemic. Cassandra made me feel comfortable and offered excellence in service delivery. She was very knowledgeable about my condition. I enjoyed and progressed from every session l attended.

Michelle Poole

I went to see Dr. Paul Shin today for the first time. I thought I had vertigo for several months, no one could give me a reason for my dizziness. Today he assessed me and took his time. I found out it is not an inner ear problem it has to do with my jaw and neck! A few treatments with him and I should be back to work. This office is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

peter mae

This is my second review after another problem. All I have to say it’s the best

Diana Kwong

I had ACL and meniscus surgery recently and Paul has been helping me out with my rehabilitation. I also saw Gabe a few times for acupuncture and massages related to my injury. They are knowledgeable professionals who are friendly and take the time to answer questions. They make sure you are comfortable with and informed about the treatment and exercises in your rehab plan. I highly recommend their services!

Lisa M

I came to EQ Physio to see Paul, after hearing a great review from a friend of mine, and I am here to share a similar experience! I went to see Paul with a pain in my leg that was quite manageable but just a very odd feeling and I am thrilled to say he got to the bottom of it! I did dedicate myself to the process for several sessions over the course of a few months, including virtually during the COVID lock down, but I was beyond impressed with what an interest he took, and the time he took, to figure out the true root cause of this really unusual symptom (and it wasn't "weak core" and "weak glutes"!) - and then how resourceful he was in helping make the prescribed exercises accessible to me without traditional gym/equipment available to me. Paul is amazingly knowledgeable, and you can tell that his approach is based on so much passion and experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone!

MC

I'd been lucky enough to been referred to EQ after a car accident and had A+ treatment from Simon for almost a year. And Champa and Roya at the desk were always incredibly helpful with insurance, appointments and ANY concerns I had. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. I have and will continue to recommend EQ to others in the area. Thanks again!!

L Bondarenko

Simon was great. Made a diagnosis on first visit and started treatment. Two followups and feeling much better.

Hand sanitizer is a policy not a by-law. Paul Shin kicked me out of his establishment in a humiliating way because I didn't obey his orders. Paul escorted me out because I would not put chemicals in my hands after I repeatedly told my hands were sanitized. Paul treated me like a criminal out the door. Keep in mind, thanks to clients like all of us, Paul has a business. Paul should learn how to treat his clients with respect they deserve. Do you really want to support a business that is going to treat you like a criminal because you're not to going to obey their orders? This is tyranny.

Susanne Belvedere

I was referred to Paul Shin through a friend and am glad I went! He is very competent at diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal problems. He acts in a very caring, polite, professional manner listening well while simultaneously working quickly and spending time with you. I would strongly recommend him!

Brenda

Derrin was a miracle worker! My husband and I were in a bad accident and Derrin got both of us feeling better quickly! I would highly recommend.

Nancy Merrill

The entire staff are terrific. Sarpreet is excellent. Her interventions were extremely helpful. I would and do recommend this clinic to anyone who needs physio therapy. The clinicians spend the full forty minutes with patients and they have private rooms which is reassuring during covid. As a senior citizen, it would have been helpful if the clinic accepted OHIP - my only criticism.

Catherine Pham

I found EQ Physio by chance and have been blown away by how caring and knowledgeable the team is! I have TMJ issues and have seen Paul for physio and I am now being treated with acupuncture by Gabriel. I had surgery several years ago and lost feeling in parts of my face...through the acupuncture treatments, I now have most of the sensation back! The team is fantastic and I would highly recommend them!

M Cleverdon

I'm so thankful that Paul Shin was recommended to me. Prior to seeing Paul I was suffering from severe vertigo and could not function through a whole day. I hadn't worked in about two months and I spent most of my days in bed because I could hardly stand, let alone work, shop, cook, read or even watch TV. From my first assessment Paul was on the right track as to why I was experiencing my vertigo and helped me to understand why I was feeling so unbalanced most of the time. His commitment to helping me get better was evident from the very first few visits. Paul used acupuncture, IMS and exercise treatments to significantly reduce and eliminate my vertigo attacks. Paul also helps you set goals so you feel like your are working towards a positive outcome. I am back working full-time again and I can pretty much do everything I use to do prior to my attacks. Paul has always been approachable and accessible and continually checks up on you. I would recommend Paul to anyone who is suffering from dizziness or vertigo. He has helped me to gain my life back.

Mike Schembri

An absolutely fantastic experience. Paul is a fountain of knowledge and experience. Helped me out with my posture, lateral epicondylitis and overall well being. My workouts and running are now pain free and more efficient.

Veronica Meaney

Simon and the ladies at reception are very friendly and professional. I’ve been at other clinics for chronic back pain but the therapy that Simon did on me has me pain free. He is very knowledgeable and explained to me the root of my problem also gave me the exact exercises for home to improve and keep my back in check. He is also very caring as his office does follow ups with me to know how I’m doing. If you need physio therapy don’t hesitate to go to EQ!

Anonymous Customer

Paul is a miracle worker! Seriously. I felt like I would never heal from my injury but Paul made it happen. He also provides exceptional customer service. I very highly recommend him!!

Justin T

Paul is great. Very thorough and always seem to find the issue that I'm having. I highly recommend seeing Paul!

Bonnie Debellis

I came to Paul as he was recommended to me by another Physio in Vancouver for IMS treatments. I was suffering from Plantar Faciitis that had caused such pain in my hip that I could not walk without pain. I had been seeing a chiro for the pain for a year and saw no improvement. After the first treatment with Paul I saw some improvement and after just a few months I am pretty much pain free! Paul's approach is very unique as he doesn't just treat the symptom. He looks at the body as a whole and works on correcting all of the different parts that are affected. I call him my "miracle worker" as I do feel it was a miracle that after suffering with no improvement to finally be pain free. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs help as he is very thorough and goes above and beyond to help you.

Daddy Simbo

I started with Simon Janik for physio for an old injury. Simon was highly recommended to me by the tennis pro at my club. I sought advice from a medical professional as I’d never been to a physiotherapist before and was advised the signs to look for of a good physiotherapist. Simon met and exceeded my expectations in my first visit. I subsequently suffered a fall playing tennis and separated and broke my playing shoulder. After Dr visits had ended I naturally sought out Simon’s assistance when my physiotherapy began. Again, Simon was excellent at my rehabilitation effort. As a highly accomplished player himself, he also fully understood my passion as I’m also a past competitive player and he was the catalyst which brought me to a full recovery. Simon will remain in my speed dial for any kind of rehabilitation I may need in the future. I highly recommend his professional services.

Kristy Turgeon

Paul is amazing!! My daughter is a competitive gymnast and Paul is focused on healing as well as prevention. He goes above and beyond, making sure he always has time to see her, to ensure she can continue with her training pain free.

Bernard Filice

Amazing pro's - Paul and Gabriel - Masters of their craft!!

Jay Bae

Paul was instrumental to my recovery from a sports injury. He provided customized and targeted treatment that aided in my speedy recovery. Would definitely recommend!!!

Tamara Govia

I had knee surgery three years ago and I have tried many types of treatment to get back on a soccer field and get rid of the pain I was experiencing as a result. Chiro...osteo...massage...Physio...nothing was working. Someone referred me to Paul and it's incredible how much he has done for me. He is not only very knowledgable about the human body but he genuinely cares about helping people get better and stay active. I can say without a doubt he is the best physiotherapist I have ever had. And I have had a few. He helps work on your injuries and he checks in with you to see how you are feeling. Paul is amazing!!!

Hannes van der Merwe

Seems very educated, but talks a lot without saying much. Spent a lot of money on exercise prescriptions I can google. Without any symptom relief therapy.

Allison Rotsch

Excellent experience dealing with Paul... He is very thorough and knowledgeable. Solved my issue beyond the surface problem and left me stronger in many ways and muscle groups that I didn't even know existed. He definitely has a strong understand how everything works together and turned this into a program that was easy for me to follow and take with me moving forwards. If I would require physio again, this would be the first place I look.

Chad M

I've been coming here for a couple of months for treatment after shoulder surgery. Juny is a fantastic physiotherapist. Professional, knowledgable and thorough. It's a great place for treatment.

Beth Tan

I have seen Paul last year sometime summer due to head concussion he was very patient, took time with my recovery above all he cares for his clients needs soon after that I continued my treatment for my shoulder and back with Juny who is also very excellent it’s amazing she’s tiny but mighty ???? They always find WAYS THE RIGHT TREATMENT APPROPRIATE FOR YOU I highly recommend this Clinic also kudos to the Staff very accommodating

Michael Lisowski

Great and professional office. Prem is a great guy and helped me with my back problems. Highly recommend him ????????
