Reviews of Cornerstone Physiotherapy - Downtown Toronto (Physiotherapist)

Marie Brem

I love Cornerstone Physiotherapy! Have been treated by different specialists at different locations - Joon, Giacomo, Melissa - thank you all for your help with (unfortunately) lots of problems! You are great. Maria Breitman.

Hage Ed

Only place that actually worked for me. Plus I got the results I needed!

Nicholas Pantaleo

After months of looking for a physiotherapist who could determine treatment for my vertigo, finding Joon and Jodi was my savour. After an episode of shingles had me completely bedridden from dizziness, I discovered Joon and his VRT therapy. Since attending my sessions, my vertigo has subsided and become a lot more manageable day-to-day. Joon also recommended that there might be a correlation between my vertigo spells and my neck and recommended Jodi, another physiotherapist/acupuncturist at Cornerstone. With both the combination of VRT treatment with Joon and some neck physiotherapy with Jodi over the core of 3 months, I can almost say that my symptoms are nearly gone. Thanks to Joon and his team at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. I can't possibly thank you enough. Best, Nicholas.

As other reviews have mentioned, Anna S. is an amazing therapist. I found Cornerstone via Google to treat chronic tendinitis in my hand and was assigned to Anna. She was thorough in assessing the problem, and explained the situation and the healing process to a T. On top of that, she understood that, without insurance, I wouldn't be able to afford more than a few sessions. So she spaced out our sessions, gave me plenty of stretches and strengthening exercises to take away, and touched base with me via email. And besides being professional, she's super friendly and talkative. :) The receptionists are also lovely people!

Twenty years of lugging heavy photo gear, standing in awkward positions and more recently sitting hunched over to get close enough to my computer screen to retouch tiny details in digital photos resulted in numb hands and arms, and constant pain in my hip and back. My husband had gone for physiotherapy to Cornerstone and literally raved about how successfully Joon Nah had treated his shoulder. So I made an appointment. A year later I am amazed at the difference. I am in so much less pain, the numbness is almost totally gone, I have strategies for preventing a relapse. Joon clearly really knows what he is doing. He is professional and friendly, and very good at putting a patient at ease. He also starts and ends appointments on time! And, bonus!... there is Green P parking right out front of the building. I would recommend Joon and Cornerstone without a second's hesitation.

Iona Abreo

Anna's service was outstanding. She was extremely friendly and went out of her way to ensure my knee was back to normal before I completed my treatment.

Keri Trimble

I was calling to book an appointment as a new customer and halfway through the call the receptionist put me on hold so she could deal with a live customer (standing in front of her). She left me on hold for more than 5 minutes so I hung up. She called me back with no apology at all--she just said "one customer turned into 3 customers." I told her she should have gotten back to me in between the first and second customer saying she'd call me back. Her response: "I did call you back." Of course, she completely missed my point (on purpose?). Overall, she was very rude and entirely unprofessional. She will need training as Cornerstone just lost a customer. And I suspect I'm not the first new customer to go elsewhere.

Kevin Stanley

After suffering from dizziness, balance problems and vertigo for a year I was finally diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis and came to the Cornerstone office at Wellington and University for help. After 5 months of physio, I feel a million times better and couldn't recommend Melissa enough. She was patient throughout the whole process, explained everything thoroughly and customized the exercises to my needs. If you have have a problem with dizziness, vertigo or your balance go see Melissa virtually or in person...you won't regret it. The exercises may seem a little weird at first but they are easy to do and really do work to get your inner ear, and your quality of life, back on track.

Dawn Lumsden

I have had to use the services of Cornerstone Physiotherapy on 3 different occasions. About 6 years ago I injured my ankle and had a really tough time with the constant pain. I was recommended to cornerstone by an orthopedic surgeon. They were reasonably priced and amazing. I met with Jodi and she was FANTASTIC!!! Within a short period of time the pain dissipated and I was able to build the strength back up in the ankle. The whole team is friendly and helpful. This year once again I damaged the same ankle. I reached out to Jodi again and she was more than happy to have me return for some much needed therapy to the ankle again. Both locations are easy to access and the staff are friendly, help and professional. Most importantly I want to say that I have been to other therapist but Jodi is THE BEST. Her strong knowledge and great techniques have put me back on my high heels! My most recent visit to the clinic was for Vertigo. I met with Joon who again was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Put me at ease about my condition.

RMT Jennifer Hay is one of the best.

Laura Berg

If you have vertigo this is the place for you! I suffered from terrible vertigo and saw many doctors including a neurologist. No one helped me feel better. I was getting very depressed because I always had mild vertigo symptoms. It wasn't until I saw Joon at Cornerstone Physiotherapy that I finally started feeling normal again. I had suffered for three years and then Joon had me feeling better within a week. Joon is also very contactable. He has talked to me on the phone to help me when I was having a serious bout and he is available via email anytime! I highly recommend going here if you have any type of vertigo!

Stephanie T.

I have been going to Cornerstone Physiotherapy for about 6 months now to see Anna Staruszkiewicz. I would highly recommend coming here for an overall amazing experience. Front desk staff (Jen and Sara) are always friendly, accommodating, and respond to your questions/requests very efficiently. Anna is amazing - she dealt with my complex fracture and slowly guided me to recovery. I am now walking on two feet, almost back to normal activities. She is also highly knowledgeable, and has a background in exercise so that was perfect since I used to be very active in the gym. She worked with me every step of the way, ensuring I have the tools and knowledge to slowly ease into my daily life routines. She never sells anything, products, or even her services for more than what is needed (which isn't the case at other clinics I've visited). To me that shows good ethics, and a high degree of professionalism. I come back to see her because I know she is excellent at what she does, and I trust her with all my physical therapy needs.

Jim Stewart

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.

Ben d'Avernas

Anna Staruszkiewicz is a top notch therapist & a lovely person, I got treatment for vertigo at the clinic, much better now.

Ronaldo Felipe

I had a problem on my ankle and after a few weeks doing the exercises I got healed. Thanks Rosie and cornerstone physiotherapy

Vessy Stroumsky

Nathan is attentive, patient, experienced and absolutely changed my health and well-being for the better. After life caught up with me, Nathan went as far to check up on me and ensure everything was on track and Had previously lost faith in physiotherapist after a bad experience with another. Thankfully I was nudged to visit this clinic and now have a mostly functional shoulder again (cries in over 30)

Jason Lee

Had a knee injury that Cole helped treat and provide strengthening exercises as a corrective/preventative measure. Was very pleased by his thoughtful approach to understanding the underlying cause and recommendations for recovery. Love the attentive and empathetic approach that Cole took to understanding my injury from his own experiences as an athlete and the personalized video links to exercises I can do at home. Highly recommend!

J. Lim

100% genuine caring, well-informed, and patient-centred... this was my experience with Cornerstone. Having suffered a severe head concussion compounded by a separate issue of Meniere's Disease vertigo that was causing me to fall to the ground, I was not able to function normally in my personal life nor at work. My family doctor, very-highly regarded in her own respect, referred me to go see Joon Nah, "he's one of the best out there;" she said. At the same time, I was seeing top neurologists and a senior ENT surgeon along with MRI's, CT scans, and a myriad of other tests. Without any reservation, I felt the MOST cared for at Cornerstone. I attribute the significant recovery to the therapy from Joon, that was continually built upon with each visit. Appointments were consistently on time and given its full course to evaluate any changes and revise treatment if needed. In contrast, one of the hospital specialist's diagnosis was, "I don't know why you're having these symptoms, I can't help you," and another, after only a 5 minute visit (preceded by a 3 hour waiting room), simply prescribed a drug and said come back in a month. With Joon, each visit was never rushed, he always listened and asked questions which clearly demonstrated he knows his stuff and was thinking critically about all the factors surrounding my illness and how he could best treat me. It's very obvious when speaking with Joon that his depth and breadth of knowledge in the field of vestibular and concussion physiology is on par with any specialist out there. It wasn't ad hoc medical care, but rather, personalized and responsive - what healing care should be. As a once national-level player in my chosen sport, I have seen many doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists... over the course of my 36 years of competing. I wish I had discovered Joon and Cornerstone many years earlier, and wholeheartedly recommend the clinic to anyone who also appreciates the knowing that you have truly been cared for.

Azmi Haq

As one grows older, it's natural that body needs more meticulous attention. Toronto is home. Cornerstone and especially my physio Rosie make my life easy ...and pain free (literally speaking). This is my second review in as many years. Rosie is a professional. Does her job well. It's solely because she knows what she's doing. She is dedicated and has a selfless way of helping others ... with care and empathy. I stand in your debt Rosie. May you bring relief to many for a long long long time. Amen

Sherree MacDonald

Meilssa was an amazing therapist! Totally recommend her as she goes the extra mile!

Ioana Timariu

My experience with Cornerstone physiotherapy is not an one-off. I have been receiving support from the amazing physiotherapists at Cornerstone over many years. Initially I went over for ankle instability. I received assessment, exercises, followup, and also an online tool to keep track of exercises. I only had to go twice in person, because the therapist gave me the tools to get stronger on my own. During COVID, I was able to work with a physiotherapist over video session to fix a knee issue, and I was amazed at how effective it was. My latest issue was vertigo, due to BVVT. Melissa was outstanding! After a whole month of suffering, one session with her practically made the vertigo disappear. The vague motion sensitivity will still take some time to go away. As a dancer and person who loves to move and stay fit and want my body to stay healthy and strong as I age, I know that Cornerstone is my trusted partner and go-to for a healing touch.

Brandon Ashmore

Emily has provided me with a great rehab regime after I sprained my foot. Really good customer service as well. Would recommend.

Gagan Gill

Great clinic - perfect location, really friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. I highly recommend this clinic

C.D. McNaughton

Knowledgeable, professional staff; diagnostics are better than what's available in most hospitals, and the treatment was effective. I wish I'd gone sooner.

Tara Bisharat

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

Emily Hotton

Rosie and Cornerstone were a pleasure to work with (under the circumstances--my fractured elbow)! Cornerstone itself was always professional, punctual, but personable. Sara at the reception desk was super nice and very accommodating when I had to twice call and cancel--once due to a huge snowstorm and again when I was really ill. Rosie was very helpful in general; she made me feel comfortable in each session, she explained what she was doing and what she was feeling (re: my elbow), and clearly explained my exercises for home. While under not great circumstances, I enjoyed my sessions and would recommend Cornerstone to anyone needing physiotherapy!

Michelle Rothstein

I was battling vertigo for a number of months and my doctor suggested vestibular therapy. From the moment I talked with Melissa, I felt seen, heard, and incredibly supported. Her positivity and knowledge were just the right combo that helped me stay committed and get the results I was after. Melissa and I met online because of COVID and I was shocked at how well it worked. I was able to make huge progress with Melissa's virtual guidance - I can only imagine how amazing she is in person. I am forever grateful to the strategies I have learned with Melissa. I am now a couple of months free of vertigo and know exactly what to do if it comes back. If you are struggling with vertigo, this is an incredible option and Melissa is an incredible practitioner.

Alison Mulvale

I've visited Cornerstone Physiotherapy for several years now and for varying treatment (Achilles issues, Vestibular physiotherapy previously) and most recently pelvic floor physiotherapy to help prepare for the birth of first child and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. Both Rosalina Mahendran and Anna Staruszkiewicz are extremely professional, were always willing to listen to, answer and address any questions or concerns I had about symptoms I was experiencing. I was able to return to the sports I wanted to play and improve my quality of life when I needed to and felt extremely prepared for labour and post partum recovery as well.

Kim Cullion

I’ve been going to Cornerstone to see Joon Nah for vestibular therapy and I highly recommend seeing him for any vertigo/dizziness issues. Joon is extremely knowledgeable and explains the science behind the feelings that come along with vestibular issues. He asks great questions, tries to uncover the root of the problem and suggests exercises that help minimize the symptoms. He’s very encouraging and makes his clients work hard but the impact of his therapy is quickly apparent and life changing!

Amna Shakil

Do not buy their lumbar support. It’s well known that different sizes of lumbar support are for different people depending on their size but this clinic will try to sell you their lumbar support for $50. I never had low back pain until I started using their lumbar support and they wouldn’t even give me a refund. Edit: after I left this review the clinic reached out to me and provided a refund. They also said they’re working on ordering a smaller size of lumbar support because they acknowledge that “one size fit all” approach doesn’t work when it comes to lumbar support. I am not discouraging anyone from going to this clinic I just want people to be weary of purchasing lumbar support from here.

Josie De Angelis

I was referred to Cornerstone by my family doctor for dizziness and potential BPPV. I was experiencing vertigo which is very unpleasant. I worked with Anna who is absolutely amazing. I was terrified of doing this as I didnt know what to expect or what it may bring on but it was worth it in my opinion. She does a very thorough assessment and was able to confirm that I did indeed have BPPV. The epley maneuvers were not pleasant but it did help me. I highly recommend her for this. She's so knowledgeable and explains everything she's doing. I am grateful to have met her and will continue to see her as needed.

Mustafa Jayousi

I've had fantastic service at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. Beautiful clinic and nice staff. No excessive cross/up-selling. Melissa helped me tremendously with lower back problems. She's very attentive, competent, and goes the extra mile. Being into sports herself she was able to understand where I'm coming from easily and gave me useful advice that I could incorporate into both my life and training to correct form and improve flexibility. It's counter-intuitive but the longer you've been physically active the more likely you're blissfully unaware of a few bad habits that need correction. Physio is highly recommended for people who fit this bill and have back/other problems rather than take the easy (and admittedly relaxing) route and keep throwing massages at the issue.

Jose Dimaculangan

Anna is amazing! She made me feel comfortable right away and could not have gone through my foot injury without her. She is super knowledgeable and kept me accountable. 110% would recommend!

Natalie Nah

Great staff that really makes you feel taken care of!

Lorena Lucia Pacheco

Custom Knee Brace Couldn't have had a more positive, helpful experience during such a difficult time. Cornerstone worked diligently to ensure I had the perfect custom knee brace so I was not only mobile, but more importantly, could be active after an ACL and MCL injury. The team coordinated a fitting appointment where their specialist walked me through all the details and was thinking ahead and made sure I had the brace tailored for skiing in the future. He was compassionate, informative, and very helpful. I am now biking, running and chasing after three little boys thanks to this custom knee brace. I would recommend Cornerstone and their team for a custom knee brace in Toronto anytime! It has been a lifesaver - physically and mentally! Thank you Cornerstone.

Johanathan Woodworth

I have been coming to see Jocelyn since January, and she has helped me with both mobility and strength after having a patella fracture. I started with almost 0 knee bend and now I’m almost back to normal at 145 degrees. My quality of life is better. We will continue until I hit that 100% mark. Everyone here is super friendly, very accommodating. It's a great place with really good people.

Peter Dillon

Melissa was excellent, very approachable and supportive even though we had our sessions virtually instead of in-person. I had never had physiotherapy before, but she was patient and helpful.

mitch davis

I've been coming here for a running injury. The physio who is working with me has been great. He's given good exercises, a reasonable amount of them, with lots of attention to how my injury is doing as I run and play hockey.

Yvonne C

Cornerstone and their staff are amazing. Super friendly. Melissa is my physio and she has helped me resolve a few different problem areas now. Great service. Recommend highly!

Ian Wight

I came to Cornerstone after having ongoing issues with both of my knees. My physio Anna Staruszkiewicz has been very effective in diagnosing and treating my issues. Anna is very good at identifying and explaining why I am having the problems I am with my knees, rather than simply treating certain symptoms. She is a very effective communicator and has a lot of knowledge on different treatment techniques. Anna has given me advice on how to get my symptoms under control as well as given me exercises and stretches that I can utilize at home for preventative maintenance. I have seen notable improvement in my symptoms after 5 appointments. She is very friendly and professional. The facilities 55 University and new and clean and the office staff are friendly and helpful. They have an automated email system for appointment reminders which is useful and are very flexible with appointment scheduling. Overall I have had a very good experience with Anna and Cornerstone!

Giselle Saati

Rosie is an amazing physiotherapist and professional! She is a good listener and was reassuring throughout the entire treatment process.

Rishi Raj Singh

Marvelous first session with Dr. Laurel. Best stress buster for your body's physical problems. Got so much relief on fist day itself. So much soothing mentally also that half of the issues were reduced to minimal already. Do's and don'ts are very specific and wisely narrated. Help desk is all 5 star with cheerful Ms. Haley. Was initially a bit skeptical and nervous but it was just wonderful ????????. Highly recommended.

Patrick Meskell

Each and every visit to Cornerstone has been a pleasure from day one. Jennifer at reception is always efficient by having insurance claims processed without delay, always tries to schedule your appointment to suit your personal schedule and sends timely reminders in advance of each appointment. I went to Cornerstone for a re-occurring knee injury that popped up during the summer. Based on the nature of my injury I was paired up with Melissa Seifried. The detail that Melissa went into before starting to work on the injury was reassuring. I was put through some movements by Melissa while she asked many questions regarding pain depending on the certain movements all the while recording every detail. Melissa explained the section of the knee to me and what she thought the reasons for the reoccurring injury might be. I was shown program of exercises and movements that I was to follow over a number of weeks. After only 3 sessions the strength and stability was evident in my knee, each session Melissa would make slight adjustments to my program of exercises based on the progress that was being made. I also attended the clinic in preparation of the 2018 Scotiabank Toronto Marathon which just past. I had bi-weekly appointments with Melissa for treatment on general ware and tare, pains and strains that comes when training for a marathon. Thanks to the expert care and attention shown by Melissa over the weeks leading up to the race, I can honestly say I did not feel tightness nor pain in my calves or quads even once throughout the race. I was to able to run myself into the ground on race day simply because I could keep going without muscle pains or fatigue. During all sessions at the clinic, be it treating an injury or prepping for an upcoming race, Melissa’s genuine interest in your progress and training is clear to see. She remains fixed on topic, she catches every tiny detail in order to help you continually improve yourself. Cornerstone is an amazing clinic made great by its wonderful staff.

Sandeep Gupta

I waa feeling paing in knee after 2km running and visted the cornerstone. I had an appointment with Nathan and he identified in 1st session that I was suffering from IT band syndrome (ITBS) , just after 3 session was able to run 5k. My last session was with Anna , she also suggested some more exercises and posture to prevent and heal the injury. Now, I am doing great and ran 10k last weekend without any issue or aymptoms and planning to do the same this weekend as well. As of just wanted to say THANK YOU to Anna and Nathan for such a wonderful treatment. Thanks, Sandeep

Carol Harrison

Flexible hours and friendly staff! Thanks to Melissa and Sarah, I recovered from my shoulder injury.

JazzCola

Professional service and helpful advice.

Alex

I attended Cornterstone Physio for pelvic floor issues. Rosie was incredibly helpful in helping me rehabilitate. Before going I was having issues that were waking me several times each night. Since attending physio those issues have been resolved. I would highly recommend it!!!

James Goacher

I've been seeing Jodi for a degenerative neck issue and she has been phenomenal. While other physiotherapists I've seen have worked solely on mobility, Jodi was able to find very small tweaks that have greatly reduced my pain and soreness. The office is very pleasant and convenient. Her hours accommodate all schedules.

Alyssa Dalipsingh

My physiotherapist Nathan was superbly knowledgable and effective in treating my issue, and explaining to me in plain language the implications my posture had on my hip and back problems. I only did about 4 treatments - but what a difference. Very simple, but technical treatments. My mobility returned, and I really took for granted the impact it had on my mood. Thanks, folks at Cornerstone!

lynette clarke

Dizziness: I found Cornerstone by chance, called them and got an appointment the same day! Melissa was assigned to me and was absolutely excellent. She educated me on my condition and worked with me to find "exactly" the right treatment that would work perfectly with my exact issue, all in one visit. This took us a over time into the next appointment time, as no one was booked, Melissa was more then willing and determined to make sure I left that visit feeling 100% confident in her abilities to help me resolve my issue and understand what was going on and did not charge me anything extra for the extra time spent. Melissa has also been available after hours, whenever I email her! She gets back within 24hrs max. Also, Cornerstone has an app where they send you videos of treatments recommended for you that show you exactly how to do each exercise that you can use anytime time you want as many times you want.

RA Bancod

Anna Staruszkiewicz helped me recovered fast and she is very patient and friendly too. You are a wonderful physiotherapist Anna!

Rana Fahim Hashemi

I'm going to Cornerstone for pelvic health physiotherapy for a couple of months now and Rosie is my physiotherapist. She is a real professional and she always considers different aspects of the health circumstances her client is going through. I'm having several treatments for my health situation and I believe my sessions with Rosie are the most important factor in my healing process.

Yanhua Zheng

Fixed my prolapse problem within just 3 months, way faster than I expected! Many many thanks to my pelvic health physiotherapist Rosie!

Jim Goertzen

I have been a client at Cornerstone, recovering from a severe ankle injury since August. It has been a slow and often frustrating process, but finally this week it has been agreed upon that we are tentatively at the stage where physio will no longer required. Having been to other physiotherapy centres in the past for previous injuries, I am no stranger to the range of caliber found between therapists. While everyone has been very good in general, I must single out Melissa S. as being among the very best I have encountered. Right from the initial assessment when she arrived to the end, she was always attentive and meticulous in developing a strategy tailored to aid my recovery. She was adaptive as needed, also highly skilled and effective at executing the treatment. Her professionalism was unwavering, yet she was always outgoing and friendly.

Ritesh Soni

I’ve had pain and muscle stiffness in my upper back due to bad posture. A quick google (review) check for physiotherapy centres in North York brought me here. Since I began therapy, Laura has been helping me fix the root cause of this problem. Approximately halfway through the program, I am over the pain and I actually feel I’m on my way to improving my posture. The assessment/diagnosis has been top-notch and the correction techniques even better. I am still undergoing therapy but based on results so far, I would strongly recommend this centre and especially Laura to anyone looking to correct their posture related problems.

tere blake

Have found Melissa to be excellent in understanding & treating sports injuries. Would highly recommend her.

Brenda Howard

Booked in with Melissa in the Dizziness Clinic to help with my BPP Vertigo. She was super knowledgeable, explained exactly what was wrong with me and provided excellent treatment. My vertigo symptoms went away after two treatments. I would highly recommend Melissa and the Cornerstone Physiotherapy team!

Laith Azer

I first saw Jodi in February 2015 for chronic hip and shoulder problems I had that several other practitioners were not able to help me with. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, her approach is very practical and she ensured I made progress week by week. A few months later and I was back to a performance level I had almost given up on achieving again, even though my original goal was to just be pain free, she was able to help me far exceed that. I continue to see Jodi for all my injuries and issues and she always takes a measured, careful approach to figuring out the root cause, rather than temporarily reducing the symptoms, and I always see great results. The whole staff in the office is very professional and I can’t say enough great things about them. I would highly recommend Jodi and Cornerstone for anyone looking to treat their injuries.

Wanda Haber-Kucharsky

Anna is a wonderful practiononer who is knowledgable, patient, kind, and skilled at what she does. The receptionists who have greeted me have all been friendly and kind as well. Thank you very much. I hope to return soon to continue where I left off. Wanda Haber - Kucharsky

Evan A

Thank you Melissa and Cornerstone Physiotherapy! Not only did you accurately and quickly identify my injury you effectively and efficiently helped me heal. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me. If I ever need Physio again- or know anyone who does- it will be at Cornerstone.

Lloyd Sebastian

I had gone to Cornoerstone Physiotherapy to validate the possibility of vestibular Physiotherapy as a treatment option to remedy a 7 month chronic dizziness - based on a just in case suggestion by a neurologist. The dizziness originated from an antibiotic side effect with no treatment options or diagnosis’s provided by the ENT specialist nor the Neurologist..I saw Anna Staruszkiewicz at the clinic...a true professional..utilizing technology based tools she concluded that this was something to do with the vestibular and recommended this can be treated via a process of balancing and ear / eye coordinated exercises...nothing to lose I agreed to it...and it was the best decision I made...all what it took was a few visits to validate progress and add in a few more exercises..steady progress... and less than SIX weeks later (late November 2017 to early January 2018 ) the dizziness is gone ..I still continue to do one of the exercises..as a balancing exercise...Anna Staruskeiwicz I can’t thank you enough getting me through this - Lloyd Sebastian

Sandra Hotrum

Melissa was excellent in helping with the healing of my shoulder

Jacki McIntosh

I have been going to Cornerstone Physiotherapy for my chronic neck and back pain for years. All of the therapists are very knowledgable and dedicated to their profession. They listen to my issues and give the best recommendations to help. The front desk staff are also top notch! Always friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

Jad Yassine

Team was awesome and easy to work with. They did direct billing for my insurance as well!

Nelly West

Cornerstone Physiotherapy has really helped me on two separate occasions. Once for my right shoulder and once for my jaw. Sarah and Laurel were professional, caring and healing. I enjoyed every one of my visits and I found my issues were resolved. They also provided me with home care exercises & stretches. I will gladly return to see them if I have any other issues in the future Thank you Cornerstone Physiotherapy for all your help

Monica

I rarely write reviews but I have to emphasize how amazing my experience was with cornerstone physiotherapy. The reception staff are incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The facility itself is super clean and sanitary, especially during COVID-19. The physical therapist I worked with was Cole and I can't recommend him enough. You will see real improvements after just one appointment with him because he truly knows what he's doing. My knee condition was so severe I couldn't walk or stand, but Cole examined me thoroughly and now after just three sessions I'm able to function perfectly again. This clinic honestly offers top quality healthcare and treatment. A huge thank you to Cole and all the wonderful staff who helped support my recovery!

Kathryn M

I am very happy with my experience at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. I was able to set up a virtual appointment quickly and conveniently after suffering an injury. Despite not being in person, I received a thorough assessment, where the physio (Melissa Seifried) was able to walk me through or demonstrate herself. Melissa followed up our appointment with a detailed email to summarize the key points. Although seeing a physio in person is nice, this experience to see a physio virtually, is in my opinion, on par. I would highly recommend Melissa at Cornerstone Physiotherapy!

Tracey Kelly

My physiotherapist, Rosie Mahendran, is great. She works with you to help you improve and she's a great listener. Rosie helped me by treating the whole me. ????

Sean Maxwell

Very satisfied with the service I received. Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Was also able to arrange appointments at relatively short notice.

Bindya Jairam

I had a great experience with Rosalina. She helped me learn how to relax my pelvic muscles, which can be a little invasive, and hard to learn. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. Rosalina is professional and caring... felt like I was being looked after by a friend. Thank you Rosie!

Nitzan Leibovitch

Great place and service!! very professional

Anna has been brilliant and has helped me on 2 occasions. The office has been very accommodating whenever I had issues. I highly recommend this clinic.

Paul Costelloe

Anna Staruszkiewicz (Physioterapist) can be summarised in three words: fun, friendly and professional. Anna was always very clear and concise during her sessions with me. She constantly updated me with information about my injury and how she was going to eliminate the pain (which she did). Once each session concluded Anna sent me numerous exercises with detailed pictures to follow.This was very beneficial in understanding what exactly I needed to do between sessions. Anna is one of the most efficient professionals that I have dealt with in Toronto. Any occasion that I sent an email with a query, she responded within a couple of hours, and it was never a rushed response but tailored exactly to me. Anna contacted me on numerous occasions via email to ensure I was comfortable with the exercises and to check were they working.(very nice touch not being treated as another number on the clinics books). Julia Brunke (Receptionist) at the university location was always efficient , friendly, approachable and accommodating when I had to change appointments. Julia was always chatty when I arrived at the location and was a nice person to deal with before and after each session. Overall a very positive experience at the University location with Anna & Julia. Thanks!

Kevin O'Grady

I am completely satisfied with the treatment I got at Cornerstone. Melissa diagnosed the cause of my dizziness, gave me exercises, adapted them for me as needed, and the problem is now almost completely resolved (I will continue with the exercises). She really knows what she is doing, and was really committed to getting me back on track. Cornerstone's COVID-19 protocols made me feel very comfortable going there. I will recommend to friends.

Miki Vee

I had issues with vertigo in the past and this last time I contacted Cornerstone Physiotherapy and scheduled with Melissa. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients. She also suggested exercises that I could do at home to help to ease the symptoms. I felt relief after the first visit! Thank you so much! Milena

Brad Power

I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Physiotherapy and their services. I was having some lower back issues and Jodi got me on the road to recovery. She explained my issues so I could understand the underlying concerns and she provided guidance and ongoing exercises to keep me on the road to recovery.

David Ongoogle

Rosie combines a patient, caring bedside manner with a great depth of knowledge and skills. Wish I had found her sooner.

An embarrassing problem solved in a very short time thanks to Rosilie.

Maria V Iraheta

Really impressed by their knowledge of how to treat pain! Thank you Melissa, I am so happy no more pain!!!!

David Heller

Great organization - well run and organized. Melissa is amazing - knowledgeable, caring, and professional. I am cured! Thank you Melissa!

Martes Attard

I was in immense discomfort, and within the first couple of treatments, Anna helped to relieve pain significantly. Anna is an exceptional PT. An added administratve bonus: my claims are filed by Cornerstone's awesome front desk staff for me, which is a huge time saver. I sincerely wish I had discovered Cornerstone sooner.

Lydia Geng

Every session consisted of teaching me exercises which aggravated the problem more than helped. At other physiotherapy clinics I've visited, all of the time past the first session has been spent on massages and gait analysis. These services were promised "next time" at Cornerstone, but never actually provided. The physiotherapist constantly suggested I buy extremely overpriced products from them to aid in the recovery. At my last session, the physiotherapist admitted that they didn't know what the problem was, and suggested I visit a doctor instead.

Amanda Bromley

I was instantly impressed by how knowledgeable my physiotherapist was and started to see improvements after only one visit. Only positive things to say about this clinic. Highly recommend.

donald charter

Joon is fantastic. He was able to identify the issue and treat it all in one session with an immediate improvement within two days. This should be your first stop if you have or think you have vertigo. Don't wait or waste time wondering what to do.

Rosie is an awesome physiotherapist. She' s helped me get back on my feet (due to heel/achilles issue). Would recommend here to anyone.

Shona Kilcline

Amazing place with wonderful staff. They cured my PF after a year of living with chronic pain. Highly recommend

Bill Cabel

I have struggled with low back pain for years and have visited many Physiotherapists and Chiropractors. My family doctor suggested that I go to Cornerstone and I could not be happier that he did. This is by far the best experience I have had. The exercises, treatment and strategies they use have allowed me to be pain free and to begin to get my fitness back. A huge thank-you to the amazing team at Cornerstone Physiotherapy!

Mary Ann Nunez

Choosing Cornerstone Physiotherapy to treat my shoulder injury was the best decision I made to heal my shoulder and treat my pain! I had Cole Miller as my physiotherapist, and he was extremely kind, attentive, and assessed my situation very thoroughly. I had never had any physiotherapy before, but he was very welcoming, explained everything for me, and always tailored my treatment according to my feedback and progress. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt safe visiting the clinic for my appointments and I also had the option to have virtual appointments as well. Following Cole's advice and treatment regimen completely treated my shoulder issue, I would definitely recommend Cole and Cornerstone Physiotherapist to my friends and colleagues.

John McKendrick

I have been very impressed with Rosie's knowledge and positive attitude toward fixing problems. Rosie has a can-do attitude and doesn't take no for an answer. She throws herself into a problem and keeps at it until she gets results. I followed her when she moved to Cornerstone because I was so impressed with her. This reflects well on Cornerstone hiring someone of Rosie's calibre.

Jocelyn Awuku

I had a wonderful experience at Cornerstone Physiotherapy. The staff are very friendly and professional. Laurel and Rosie are skilled physiotherapists, and they significantly helped me to deal with muscle issues that I have experienced for more than a decade. I highly recommend this clinic.

Philip Rouse

I broke my elbow in September 2017 and was referred for physio. For more than 16 months, Rosie worked on my elbow so that I have almost full extension and flexion again. I appreciated her and her work so much that when she moved to Cornerstone from another clinic, I followed her. Thanks, Rosie.

Joey Sham

I went to see Jocelyn because I started having pain in my left knee during and after playing basketball. I initially didn't think much of it, and attributed it to age. Jocelyn was very professional, and explained to me in details why it occurred. She was also very patient with all the questions I had (especially since I know so little about the different muscles and stuff). Working together, I was able to strengthen the weaker muscles while learning how to stretch it out. She gave me all the tools for me to be self-sufficient so I can maintain playing for a long time. I've been to different physiotherapists before, and Jocelyn is the only one I'd go back to if something else were to happen to me. I highly recommend her.

Jessica Nahmias

Virtual appointments are totally great and way more in-depth than I would have guessed. Melissa is super knowledgable, comes from a very scientific point of view, and is great at communicating her info.

Kelly Knoch

I worked with Rosie Mahendran at Cornerstone Physiotherapy and I cannot say enough good things about her! The clinic is always clean and efficient, and Rosie helped me get pain free MUCH faster than I thought possible. She's extremely dedicated to her clients, provides great at home exercises and charges fair rates for her services. I would recommend her for anyone looking for pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Alexandra Manzo

Great experience. The physiotherapists are very knowledgeable and friendly. They also do WSIB claims.

daniel yebio

Saw Melissa for treatment on a torn quad - received professional care and advice - delivered in a friendly environment. Highly recommend Melissa and the folks at Cornerstone Physio.

Marianne Spilberg

I had a severe case of vertigo and was in distress. I was able to get an appointment with Anna quickly. Cornerstone was very thorough with their screening. Anna did a full assessment and quickly found the cause of my problem. In only two sessions I was cured and that was a great relief! Anna was very professional and followed up after the appointment to see how I was doing. She also gave me some preventative exercises. I would recommend Cornerstone to anyone having problems with vertigo.

Ammar Adamjee

Laurel is AMAZING! I have dealt with all sorts of physiotherapists for numerous sports injuries throughout the years but Laurel definitely is a stand out. Her care and commitment to her patients' is unparalleled. Highly recommend Laurel and Cornerstone.

Vamsi G

Rosalina (Rosie) was fantastic to work with. Through diagnosis of my pain and pretty good with bandaging for pressure management on the foot as well. Highly recommend her!

Azmi Haq

Rosalina is my physio at cornerstone - she is a young lady with wisdom of an old soul - she treated my chronic neck pain - and tought me to ensure that its stays away - then treated a very bad, hip-lower back issue - im deeply grateful to Rosalina - when not in toronto i feel insecure that i'm away from the best physio in the world - god bless!

Louise Smith

Midway through the pandemic I had terrible back pain that made walking difficult and I wasn't sure what to do about it. I called Cornerstone and immediately was impressed. The receptionist talked to different physiotherapists to see if any could make time to see me. Luckily, Anna Staruszkiewicz did. She was so helpful - extremely knowledgeable and always had new ideas to try out. After every session she sent me detailed reminders about exercises we'd discussed and pictures, too. She was also flexible to do online sessions if I couldn't make it in. She really saved me!

C Z

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for making my situation so much better and controllable. You gave me results and hope. My therapist Rosalina made me feel safe and comfortable. Your service and quality of treatment was impeccable. I would definitely recommend your service.

Kris Lautens

I saw Anna after hitting my head at work. She is warm and personable, and equipped with technology for checking symptoms that I've never seen before. She was understanding of my limitations and I appreciate the care she treats her patients with.

Victor Michael

I wasn't sure at first about how useful the virtual sessions would be but they have been excellent in helping with the strain on my neck and back that has arisen from spending more time working from home at a less ergonomically appropriate work station. Melissa has done a great job of working through exercises in the web session, while following up with summary reports and videos of the exercises in case I forget my homework! Keep up the great work Cornerstone and thank you Melissa! Andrew G.

david arruda

Great experience! Every time I get treatment I feel better, but also better able to understand my ailments and ways of treating it myself with tools provided by Cornerstone.

Ann Napoleone

My doctor recommended I try vestibular therapy or dizzy clinic as I had a problem with severe vertigo from one ear. My appointment was with Melissa, who was very patient and professional; in addition, she explained the anatomy of what happened to me. With the help of some equipment, she discovered the crystals in my ear are back in place, but my brain has not caught up. She gave me some exercises, which I did every day and the problem is much better. If you are having any dizzy issues at all, you should go and see her, as I am sure she will solve your problem. She is also helping me with a few other issues as you age, and I feel so much better, that I will remember it as a highlight in 2020. The reception is also very nice and professional.

Andrew Watt

Would highly recommend Anna S. for any physio needs. Anna will walk you through a program to alleviate and fix any pain/mobility issues you may have in a personable and professional manner. Since visiting Cornerstone, and receiving treatment from Anna, my pain has subsided greatly.

Suman Belvetkar

I was paired up with Emily for my back injury. Throughout our entire treatment period, she remained professional while being genuine towards my concerns and questions. Emily really has a caring heart for her patients and she always goes above and beyond as she gets to know you more than just on a care-giving basis. I have gone back to her as I recently re-opened my injury and she got me in right away so we can start our treatment for a speedy recovery. Thank you Emily for everything you have done and continue to do for me :)

E Tham

The staff and therapists were friendly and knowledgeable and always ready to service with a smile. The facility is clean and there is a change of clothes if you should need it.

Linda Edwards

Acupuncture, physio and Joon Nah... the perfect trifecta. 30 minute treatments, one to one amazing attention and care. The entire team is dedicated to your healing. Congratulations on the new clinic. Thank you Joon.

Dilys Bowman

I sought physiotherapy (initially in person, and then via a succession of virtual sessions because of pre-vaccine Covid) to fix a rowing injury and prevent future ones. Virtual physio isn't ideal (though it was my choice given the pandemic), but Cole was very helpful - nice bench-side manner, knowledgeable about the muscles involved and with an extensive menu of exercises that would help, both for the rowing and a later elbow injury. I am back to rowing my usual distance regularly but would go back without hesitation if I needed physio again.

Stephanie V

Busy physiotherapy clinic right at Yonge & University (located on the top floor of 2 carlton st). Convenient located right by college subway station. Decided to try it based on reviews and the fact that they had a few individuals who were certified in manipulative therapy. Been impressed with the admin staff, and that most plans can be direct billed. Hayley is a fantastic physiotherapist, very personable and professional.

Lei Zhang

I've been a happy Cornerstone client at their college location for years. This time I came to the downtown location for vestibular physiotherapy with Melissa. Same great experience! The initial testing was very extensive and every step was clearly explained. She was able to make a quick diagnosis and treatment plan. After few more follow up appointments I'm feeling much better, thankfully my issue wasn't too hard to resolve. I felt very safe during COVID. Everyone was masked, treatment bed is sanitized, and I saw at most 1 other patient in the clinic during my visits. Highly recommend Cornerstone for vestibular physio as well!

Jennifer Robson

My son, my husband and I are all patients of Melissa at Cornerstone’s downtown clinic and we all recommend her very, very highly. She is thorough and painstaking in her clinical approach, her manner is warm and friendly, and she explains follow-up exercises with real clarity. The clinic itself is absolutely immaculate, with impeccable Covid protocols in place, and we feel very safe during our visits. I recommend Melissa and the entire team at Cornerstone to anyone looking for first-class physiotherapy in a safe and welcoming setting.

lisa d

Knowledgeable and thorough, Melissa's expertise has been very helpful!!!

Phil Mattin

My experience with Cornerstone Physiotherapy was exceptional. Melissa not only diagnosed my condition but was extremely integral in my recovery. The exercises along with her positive encouragement were very helpful. I will highly recommend her to anyone suffering from vertigo type conditions

Maurice Aucoin

I can say that as a repeat customer (no fault of theirs :-)) of Cornerstone Physiotherapy, I have full confidence in their work. I continue to experience remarkable results. Not only are their therapists highly effective, but they are extremely professional, pleasant, and overall friendly! This new top-notch clinic is ideally located in the heart of the city, close to many of our offices and/or homes. If you are trying to manage a chronic physical pain or an injury, look no further...honestly! You will not be disappointed.

Karen Ngo

I have been in Melissa’s care for about 2 years, most recently to treat a chronic De Quervain’s problem. I began to see Melissa again in February after having seen no difference in the therapy I had prior. Melissa’s approach to physiotherapy was what made the difference. She is very skilled, experienced, professional and caring. Those are the qualities that make her exceptional in what she does. Melissa set me up with exercises that worked to strengthen my wrist and hand. She also did manual work to relieve the tightness and pain in the area. I give complete credit to Melissa’s treatment for my full recovery and would wholeheartedly recommend her for any physio treatments needed.

Alex Magnan

My experience at Cornerstone was very positive. Melissa was great and gave me a personalized program that helped me get back on my feet within a matter of weeks. I would highly recommend booking an appointment with her! The clinic also had adequate COVID safety precautions in place, which made me feel very comfortable when going in for treatment. I would recommend Cornerstone to anyone and will definitely be returning if I ever need more physiotherapy help.
