Reviews of Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness - Corktown (Physiotherapist)

Shruti Suppiah

I'm seeing Olivia currently for back pain and pelvic floor issues. She has been extremely supportive and great in providing me education and exercises on how to resolve and prevent these issues in the future. Thanks Olivia

Michael Shin

Mackenzie is my physiotherapist and she's done a great job helping me to improve steadily each week. She's also very creative and custom-designed some great exercises to simulate stand up paddling to help me get back on the water as soon as possible. On top of that, she's friendly and makes the time pass quickly. Highly recommended.

Ashley Botting

This place is so nice, open and well-run. Mackenzie is an incredible physiotherapist who diagnosed me quickly and had me feeling better in just a few sessions. Highly recommend.

Alex Morrow

I go here for physio, not for a nagging injury, but more so for maintenance. Ali is my physiotherapist and has been great in communicating why he thinks I might be having pain, soreness, tightness in certain areas like my shoulders and neck. The hands on work is also excellent. It is a very intense manual therapy, instead of being inundated with 100 exercises that you will forget how to do as soon as you take a step out the door. My only critique is that being in Toronto, you are going to be paying Toronto prices. I factor in the convenience of it being around the corner from in my decision to continue to come, despite the expense.

Elana Dunkelman

I’ve had wonderful experiences at Foundation Physiotherapy. The support staff are friendly and quick to respond to calls or emails. Dr. Ryan Albert has been a pleasure to work with. He is patient, kind and always in a great mood. My condition has vastly improved since we started our practice together. I highly recommend him!

Jenn Shadbolt

I came to see Ali with some complications related to having a broken foot, it was a Saturday and I was in so much pain and thrilled to find a clinic open. I am extremely grateful to have found such a highly skilled, knowledgeable, hardworking, kind and personable physiotherapist. I felt very uneasy and alone after not being able to see my family doctor in person, and Ali's in-person work and guidance has made all the difference in helping me to heal and walk again. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Felipe Rodrigues

I had a major problem with my neck, and it was completely solved by one of the Physiotherapist, Oliva Drodge. She did an amazing job as she was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Scott Rodgerson

It's not hyperbolic to say Ali's help has been life-changing. On top of the range of motion I've regained, I feel significantly more relaxed, both physically and mentally. I'm out in the west end, and the trip to River St is worth it every time.

Royce Dane

Fern is great. She was very professional and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the massage.

Abhinav Garg

Absolutely love this new clinic. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Alexandra has been the one working with me, and is professional, insightful, and extremely easy to get along with. She worked very hard to make my arm straight again when everyone (including my doctor and myself) thought I won't get full range of motion, she has given me a great treatment plan and physio exercises. She also makes understanding technical terms simple, which is something I appreciate. Definitely would recommend! They also have late hours twice a week to accommodate work schedules and have an easy-to-access location.

Tess Howarth

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Had such a great physiotherapy experience here. Highly recommend!

Chanelle Gardner

This is a lovely clinic, everyone there is super warm and friendly. My physio Olivia has been absolutely wonderful throughout my treatment so far after an accident I suffered. She is very genuine and provides a high level care, as well she has provided exercises and other resources that have been so helpful to my healing and recovery.

Madeline Schram

I have nothing but great things to say about this location. I started seeing Ali for knee pain once they re-opened after COVID. I was extremely pleased with the cleanliness, safety protocols put in place, and professional and friendly staff. Ali is very knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. He recommended a variety of new daily exercises that have been extremely helpful. I've already increased my running distance with no knee pain and am certain I'll increase it even more as we continue to work together. I highly recommend working with Ali and the team at Foundation Physio on King!

Ryan Zizzo

Mackenzie has been giving me high quality and friendly physio as I recover from my recent arm surgery. I always look forward to her firm but kind encourage and support. Highly recommended!

Mikhael Monge

Nice and knowledgeable staff, clean facility and great location.

Sharan Kooner

I have been seeing Olivia for neck/back injury and some pelvic health sessions. She is beyond amazing and she listens very carefully to her patients so, they get the best treatment possible. I went in with very terrible migraines; however, her treatments really helped and decreased my pain. I would 10/10 recommend Olivia. Overall, very friendly staff and very accommodating to you needs especially during the pandemic.

Erin

I have really enjoyed working with Olivia over the past few months. She is professional, a great listener, extremely knowledgable, and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Mariana Estefani

Amazing professionals, great and friendly service. I was battling with a stiff neck when I decided to give massage therapy a try and I'm so happy I did! Quentin is so precise and thorough, and I always feel so relaxed and pain-free after each session, so I keep going back. I was also suffering from a sprained ankle injury for almost 2 years and Ali has helped me to regain balance, strength and mobility back. Highly recommend!

Mila Aitken

Not only is the front staff nice and welcoming, the therapists there are knowledgeable, professional and very competent. I worked with Dr. Ryan Albert for my chiropractic care and was very satisfied with his approach to my neck pain and his treatment plan. His multifaceted approach with exercises, physical manipulation and acupuncture allowed me to become pain free in a few weeks. I would recommend Dr. Albert to everyone, especially those skeptical of chiropractic care for their pain management.

Kelly Vieira

Hands down the most wonderful experience, Alex was a dear to work with and have treatment with. She gave clear concise exercises and examples and was very accommodating for anything that came up on a week to week basis. She got my back feeling so much better just in time to move houses. I will miss my physio appointments but am so pleased with not only the result but the education she instilled in me. Thank you thank you! The free (points credited massage) from Fern was an amazing treat as well and made me think... I need more of those in my life! If you are in the area and need physio, massage, acupuncture and a list of other wonderful services do not pass this place by!

Derek Husser

Although I don't know much about different physio clinics, I enjoyed my 3 sessions with Ali. He is very personable and knowledgable, and didn't waste any time getting to the rehab/excercises. The clinic is in a great location on the King Streetcar line, but only 50 meters from the Queen Streetcar Line as well.

Robyn Zogala

This is the best physio clinic. I’m so excited that they have a big clinic in the east end now. I don’t have to travel across the city to go now :) -although I definitely made the trek to their Front st. location a long time because they are worth it.

Anne Greenfield

Very professional clinic. I worked with Kaylee and she was able to diagnose my problem and treat it. Reception is very friendly too.

Sarah Paull

After getting super painful shin splints this year, I started seeing Mackenzie who is amazing! After taking some time off running, I have been able to get back to a place where I can run pain free. She is such a lovely and knowledgeable person, I learned so much and felt so comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Mackenzie and Foundation for all of your physio needs!

Kayla McConnery

Mackenzie is a great physiotherapist. She is very professional and knowledgeable.

Okayest Ashley

It's a very warm and welcoming environment, the front staff are super friendly, and everyone there is very open and accepting of all. I've been seeing Raphaële for some TMJ complications. She's incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet and helpful with treatment as well as giving me plenty of tips to reduce any future issues. An overall wonderful experience there and I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking physio!

Melissa Cinelli

Very knowledgeable staff, clean and inviting environment! Big thanks to Alexandra, highly recommend her for all your physio needs.

norbey ORDONEZ

Great physio. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. From the front desk, to my physiotherapists: Olivia Drodge, working with her has made my elbow pain injury easier to overcome, Great customer service! I highly recommend the foundation physiotherapy&wellness A BIG thank you to the office staff who made every visit a pleasure .

Lilly Vishram

I've been working with Ali for the better part of the summer to relieve stress on my foot and lower leg and it's been a great experience. The clinic is clean and staff are professional. Would recommend.

Marcella Jenkins

I cannot speak more highly of this place. I broke my left proximal radial bone (my left elbow) and I'm happy to write that I have regained full range of motion in my elbow and wrist. I came in two months after I broke my elbow, thinking I could heal it back to normal myself but the elbow is a notoriously difficult joint to heal when fractured. I googled the closest place to me and found Foundation Physio. I was worried about going during COVID but I was more worried about having permanent damage to my arm, so I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did. Foundation was great during COVID. They took safety precautions seriously. They screen patients, have rigorous cleaning protocols, wear masks all the time, have hand sanitizer readily available, and constantly reassure you to make your mind at ease. During your appoinment, you're in a private room with the physiotherapist. I never once felt uncomfortable. My physiotherapist was Olivia Drodge. She is passionate and talented at what she does. From the first meeting, she asked me my goals and assessed my range of motion, which was very limited since I waited so long to see a physiotherapist. I'm a very numbers driven person so I appreciated that she took the time to measure my progress so that we had both numerical evidence and personal anecdotes to work with. She's super easy to talk to and encouraging. The clinic is so well equipped that she was able to try anything she thought may help my elbow (acupuncture, electrical pulses, exercise bands, manual manipulation, etc.). I honestly thought my elbow was going to be permanently bent. Olivia and Foundation - thank you so much for helping me reach full recovery. Everyone, if you have an issue that a physiotherapist can help with, go, don't wait. You'll be thanking yourself that you did.

Elysia Groberman

I’ve been experiencing severe neck and upper back pain for well over 6 months and after seeing Dr. Ryan Albert for only a few sessions he was able to treat the root of cause of my discomfort. Would highly recommend his services!!! He’s also extremely friendly, accommodating and a very skilled practitioner.

Chris Stam

I highly recommend. I went in with a broken clavicle and fractured elbow due to a football injury. My range of motion was quite limited and I was concerned that I would never regain full motion. Thankfully, I met with Olivia Drodge, who is a very knowledgeable physiotherapist. Fast forward 3 months, and I have regained full motion, I feel no pain, and have started training again. I have to also mention that I was originally skeptical of conducting physio during a pandemic; however, foundation physio is exceptionally clean and I never felt at risk. Thank you Olivia, I really appreciate all that you've done to help me.

Steven Racicot

I am currently seeing Alireza Mazaheri for all my physiotherapy treatment at the King street east location and the experience has been exceptional. Very hands on, patient, and willing to explain everything and anything. I had several back issues that led to severe shifting in my back. It was a slow process but Ali was there every step and due to his treatments, advice, and exercises he gave me I was able to fully recover :) I now go to see him monthly to keep an eye on things and could not be more grateful for my recovery. The office is beautiful. Very clean, very modern. I recommend Ali very much.

Benita Hansraj

I am so thankful to have found Olivia Drodge at Foundation Physiotherapy. I have struggled with some longer term aches and pains and will little to no background, Olivia was able to immediately apply treatments that are making a lasting difference! So glad that I have found my physiotherapist for life! Thank you, Olivia. You're awesome.

Yen Ho

Fern has been my RMT since she joined the Front St team and so glad she is now at the King St E location. She understands my needs for our RMT session and I always leave feeling refreshed & relaxed.

Damian Yeung

Foundation is an amazing place, everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking a session with Fern, she's great.

Vanessa Pinto

Fantastic clinic that has physiotherapy, chiropractic and RMT services available. Alexandra is a detail-oriented physio and her hands-on approach has helped keep me conditioned for distance cycling. The team is friendly and the clinic is newly renovated, beautiful and bright. I highly recommend this location for all your physio needs!

Claudia Erban

This year has been filled with constant pivots and adapting to the new norm. Thankfully, Foundation has made each visit feel incredibly safe & continues to clearly set expectations and guidelines. If you're looking for a great chiro, words cannot express how incredible Dr. Ryan Albert is. He has helped me find trust in chiropractors again (after an awful experience) and continues to give exceptional advice and treatments.

William Bud Latanville

When I needed a Physiotherapist, I asked amongst my friends, and one of them told me that THEIR own PT told them "Yeah, the people at Foundation know their stuff." That encouraged me to call and book an assessment. And it's been a steady march to less pain and more mobility since then. I can heartily recommend Raphaële Lemire in particular. You'd be in good hands with her. I will also say that the other staff are terrific, as well; they knew my name very quickly, so I'm greeted when I come in for an appointment.

Sukaran Mehta

Alireza has been incredible to work with me, I had ankle twist and he worked with me to get those remedied over 3 sessions. He is highly professional, friendly and this place is super clean! I have been using Foundation for over a year and highly recommend.

Jamie Bell

Working with Olivia at foundation has been amazing. Being a mother herself she is very sensitive to everything I am dealing with post partum while working towards my goals. Olivia wants everyone to live their best life and if she thinks that adding additional care outside of her scope will serve you best she is not afraid to refer out.

Lindsay King

I have been working with Mackenzie Holden (physiotherapist) for about 2 months now and have seen HUGE improvements in my ankle injury. Mackenzie is a joy to work with and I truly appreciate that she is able to explain the purpose and body function behind all exercises for the curious body nerd in me. In addition, scheduling appointments and making a great long term recovery plan with her have been some added bonuses. I would highly recommend visiting Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness (Corktown location) and working with Mackenzie!

Bhisham Kinha

The clinic is clean, inviting and runs like a well-oiled machine. And I have found that my Physiotherapist, Olivia, to be a compassionate, kind and deeply capable practitioner, whose collaborative and holistic approach to care is so appreciated. I had a really positive experience through and through.

Kata G

Alex is an amazing physiotherapist. She has helped me immensely with various sports and self inflicted injuries. Brand new space, easy to get to, parking is not very hard to find. Very friendly staff, very knowledgable therapists, great clinic. Highly recommended.

Candice Sand

I came to Foundation Physio because of years of neck, shoulder, and back pain that I wanted to work towards resolving. My experience has been absolutely wonderful! I've been seeing Raphaele for Physio and Fern for massage therapy. Both have …

Cameron Tang Poy

First time at the clinic today, and saw Fernandine Ambre for RMT treatment. I have chronic pain in my shoulders and upper back that often lead to severe headaches and tendency to hunch. After our session I left feeling a lot lighter with my shoulders visibly lower. Highly recommend trying it out.

Brandi Ziegler

I saw Alireza for my shoulder. He's an absolute blast to work with. Encouraging but understanding when I couldn't keep up. Truly made me feel like we were working on this healing process together! Thanks Ali!

Max Marcus

I've been to several different physiotherapists in the past, but these are definitely the best! Alexandra is extremely knowledgeable and was the first physiotherapist to correctly diagnose my chronic upper back issue. She has also helped me to completely recover from a knee issue and a lower back issue. I've recommended her to multiple friends who have also been very happy with her work. Her manual manipulation techniques (that not all PTs are certified to perform) are very effective at alleviating acute issues. She also provides simple exercises to do in between sessions as well as tips on how to adjust your posture to prevent the issue/pain from returning.

Katherine Tran

I have been working with Ali (physiotherapist) and he has help me improve my shoulder and back pain! Ali is very knowledgeable and helped me learn so much about my body. I look forward to my appointments all the time! The clinic is clean and front staff are friendly. I appreciate the complimentary assessment for frontline workers! I would highly recommend anyone to come here! They also give complimentary massages after collecting enough points.

Stacey D'Angelo

I visited just after they recently reopened during COVID-19.. The whole experience was very professional with great attention to cleanliness and proper procedures in place to ensure I felt very safe and well taken care of. My treatments with Physiotherapist Olivia at the King St. E. location have been extremely helpful in addressing my upper back pain/tension. Highly recommend. Will be back!

Val Bouch

I've been going to the King St location for several months now working on preventing a long-term recurring ankle injury with Ali Mazaheri. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and friendly - welcoming me with a hello and a smile each time. Every session, Ali pushes me to strengthen and stabilize my ankle, and this has not only helped prevent the recurring injury, but has since improved my running performance (less/no rolled ankles, more speed, more distance). His exercises are super tough, but Ali has been extremely positive and encouraging throughout my recovery journey. It's made me more intentional and focused in the way I move and workout, and has made me a better athlete. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly physio! PS - the COVID precautions taken at the office are great. Everything is wiped down after each patient, the waiting area is distanced and has shields, masks and hand sanitizer, screening questions each time, etc.

Lahiru Gallage

I work with Ali and Quentin on my sports injuries. I must say results are quick. They are extremely helpful, knowledge, and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Anastasiya Kryvoho

An incredible experience, Raphaële is welcoming and knowledgeable. I came in for my newfound arthritis, and she has been able to get the mobility back to full range in just a couple of appointments!

Ali Lubelsky

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan Albert for back pain and have only positive things to say. He was able to diagnose my issue and after a few sessions I started seeing a lot of improvement. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and personable. He also gives guidance on exercises to integrate into your routine which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend him and this clinic!

Benjamin Benchitrit

Hip pain, tennis elbow, calf pull. Olivia took care of everything. Convenient hours and the price is right. Would recommend. I can’t wait till I injure myself again.

Su Jin Won

I have never written a review but I had such an amazing experience here at Foundation Physiotherapy and wanted to share. I have been having really bad lower back pain and couldn't stand or sit too long. I found a place near my home and walked in and booked an appointment. I am seeing Alex(Physiotherapist), Ryan(Chiropractor) and Fern(Registered Massage Therapist). When I first saw them I was shocked how young they were but yet, they are also very well educated. They knew exactly where I needed to be treated. I highly suggest you make your appointment and see one of them. You will definitely be satisfied. They truly made a difference and made me walk again. Thank you :D

Tricia Waldron

Thanks Ali for your help in recovery from knee replacement surgery. My balance is greatly improved and I can walk without fear of falling. See you for follow up in the new year

Maria Perev

Highly recommend! This studio is very well organized and the staff is super friendly. I’ve been seeing Olivia Drodge, a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who is nothing short of AMAZING! She is super knowledgeable, gentle and patient. Made me feel very comfortable, and was there every step of the way with my recovery plan. Thanks so much!

samantha simunyu

Amazing! I've been working with Olivia Drodge and I've had a great experience. She's patient, kind and talented in her field. I can't recommend her and this practice enough.

Ben Rogers

From my first appointment at the clinic, everything has run smoothly - the staff are friendly and courteous. I suffered a back injury a few weeks ago and Dr. Albert has made a huge difference for my recovery, from adjustments to stretches and exercises, to advice on form at the gym. By really making an effort to understand my typical day, he was able to identify problem areas and tailor my treatment plan accordingly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Albert and the Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness clinic to a friend.

Angie Nga Wun Lam

My experience with Mackenzie Holden started in 2020 and she has been instrumental in the physical challenges I suffered throughout the pandemic! I have thoroughly enjoyed my visits with her as she is extremely professional, knowledgeable and genuinely cares for her client’s well being. She has helped me improve, not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well, and I hope others will have the pleasure of working with her and being under her care! I have also had the pleasure of working with Fernandine Ambre. Although I have had only one experience to-date... and I am looking forward to my next one this week! It was my first time getting a massage, outside of a spa, and while it was different than what I was always accustomed to - I definitely felt that my body appreciated it over time! Throughout the pandemic, I have seen that this location follows COVID 19 protocols extensively and thoroughly - I have never had any cause for concerns while in the building or under Mackenzie or Fernandine’s care :)

tanya doroslovac

I have been visiting Foundation recently for help with a running injury and Ali has been doing a great job helping with my sore leg. Foundation has been my go-to clinic since my ACL reconstruction surgery and I can honestly say that it is the best physiotherapy clinic I have ever visited. They really care about your recovery. I especially appreciate that it's not just about the exercises and stretches at home, but they go the extra mile to do manual work and stretches so you feel better after each appointment.

Franklin Evans

Been using the King St. location for a few weeks now and thought it was about time to give them guys a review! I have been having some back pain for quite some time and my first approach was to try some massage. Furn helped me has great technique and strength! Moved on to Ali as my pain seemed to be moving from my back to my leg. Ali helped me with strengthening exercises and various types of massage and movement. I have now moved on to Alexandra doing some acupuncture. Just had my first session today and will continue to follow up over the next few weeks. She is seems very knowledgeable in her profession and I look forward to working with her in the future. It been a pretty long run with this pain but I finally feel like it's coming to an end. Thanks Team!

Chris Livingstone

Earlier in the year I was in a bad state. I found out I had chondromalacia (runners knee). Through Alexandra’s exercises, treatment, positive feedback and Quentin’s massage therapy I am able to lace the runners up and hit the trails again. In just a few months. Friendly staff and excellent service at the King st office.

Nick Chauvin

Did ~2 months of physio with Ali, he got me back together and out running again! Was during Covid "red" phase and the staff were great about making sure everyone was safe while still having access to the rehab they needed.

Dushan Tharmalingam

These guys are the truth. I’ve had a pain in my neck down my right arm that had been there for so long (like 4 years) I almost forgot about it. It started showing up again while I was just trying to use up my benefits and between Quentin (RMT) and Ryan (Chiro), it’s gotten so much better. Knowledgeable and friendly, thoroughly enjoying the benefits I get from seeing the team here. ????????????

Carolyn Smith

I love Foundation Physiotherapy. I've been a client for 7 years and will follow this team to the end of the earth. The new King Street clinic is gorgeous and offers the same amazing service and care that I have always known. I love Alexandra and the whole team!

Cameron Edling

Top notch expertise and support from physio to massage therapy. Kaylee and Quentin are real pros. Studio space is warm and welcoming.

K Tse

Bryan Hague was amazing. He was able to pinpoint exactly what was causing me pain (TFL & piriformis) and helped me to get better much faster than I expected.

Daryl G

Due to a car accident, I have been doing physio with Mackenzie Holden who has been fantastic. She has helped me reduce the problems I have been facing and taught me more about how the body works. She's so good that I did bike fit / physio with her too. Sure, you can buy a new bike to get faster or you can go to Mackenzie who will make your ride more comfortable AND you go faster

Kate Drwecka

Alexandra and everyone else at this clinic is an absolute delight. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and this clinic :) I started seeing Alexandra at the front street location, and she is so good that when she moved to King, I followed over there (even though it is on the opposite end of town for me). Her hands-on (joint manipulation, exercises and acupuncture) approach has done wonders for me time and time again (I’ve come to her for multiple injuries now). She explains things simply so that you understand, and works within your schedule and budgeting needs (ex. needing to go less frequently, finding alternatives for some equipment in exercises, etc). She also listens to her patients needs and knows when to push and when not to.

Jared

I have worked with and will continue to work with Physiotherapist Olivia Drodge. Her approach to the body, recovery and overall health is excellent. Very caring and thoughtful as well.

Fenton Fong

I saw Dr. Ryan Albert who was tremendously helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me address my right hip issues and was extremely effective in helping release some neural tension. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Great environment! Highly recommend.

Amber Hall

I received a massage at this location. Very clean, welcoming place. My massage was very thorough, I like a deep tissue massage and they listened to my needs :)

Rebecca Liaw

I've been seeing Fern for massage therapy for a few months and she is the best massage therapist I've found on the east end. After several years of trying to find a professional RMT with the right pressure and attention to my needs, and not just give me a "spa" massage, I found Fern and I couldn't be happier. The clinic itself is well-run and comfortable. Location is extremely convenient.

Josh Mueller

As someone who has spent the last 6 years running one of the top spas in Toronto, I’ve had a lot of great massages, but none like I’ve had with Foundation Physiotherapy. I actively chose to go to a clinic because I wanted to step away from what I know about massage therapy and explore more therapeutic and clinical treatments. Quentin has made it such an easy transition for me. He’s this wonderful mix of personable and professional and it makes having a treatment with him so easy. He’s knowledgeable and considerate which makes his treatments very effective. The facility itself is so clean and well maintained. COVID-19 guidelines are obviously in place and enforced but not in a way that makes it uncomfortable or draws any more attention to the pandemic than needed. Everyone I’ve met in the facility has been kind and inviting and seems pretty happy to be there, so I think that says a lot. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Dec 2020 Update: I also started seeing Dr. Ryan for Chiro about a month ago and feel great! This was my first experience with Chiro and it's better than I could have expected. It's nice to feel like it's interactive and to have things explained so there's no apprehensions. He also emailed me after my first appointment to follow up which I thought was really nice. He also didn't judge me (or notice) the time I had peanut butter all over my clothing. Always look forward to my appointments.

Dasha Sheina

Very highly recommend! I have been going here for a couple of month now and I love this place. Everything is super clean and the staff is very friendly! Ali is amazing! An hour flies by talking to him, and I love the way he districts me from what is happening to my poor shoulders. Everyone is super professional and super friendly. Also, the more you go there the more points you get and then you can get a massage for free. that's amazing! An amazing place that I definitely recommend!

Remy Leclerc

My experience with Foundation Physiotherapy has been great. Ali is a very knowledgable professional and helped me understand what was happening with my injury and how to get better. Great conversation too :) Highly recommended!

Nicola Lightstone

Excellent care at Foundation - the staff are always friendly. I see Ali for an old injury that was aggravated from running - we have worked together for a few months now creating improvement to my overall mobility and alignment.

Lucas Durocher

Nothing but good things to say here. Specifically, Ali and his run analysis/treatment has been a huge help for me in my training!

Morgan Dobroshinsky

If you're looking for a clinic with wrap-around services, the friendliest front-end staff, and the most knowledgeable PTs, RMTs and chiropractors, Foundation is where it's at. I've been seeing Mack for a few months now overcoming shin splints and some other running-related annoyances. She made sure to rule out any other possible injuries and has been the best educator along the way, answering my copious amount of questions. Knowing my anxiety around pain and how important physical activity is to me, she's been great at reassuring me and helping me understand my body and the path to recovery. She really is THE BEST. I've seen both Quentin and Fern for massages that left me feeling on cloud 9, and Ryan was great in getting me set up with orthotics. Really, your one stop shop. The front-end staff are the most kind and make the effort to get to know you. At this point it feels like I'm coming to visit friends when I go in for my appointments! I'm so glad I picked Foundation :)

Asif Hossain

Great physiotherapy experience with Ali Mazaheri. He was able to isolate the areas around my ankle that were causing me to experience tightness in the calf. Over time I learned to manage the tightness on my own, and pay closer attention to warning signs. Additionally, great massage therapy and chiropractic experiences here. All three services recommended.

Krista Colangelo

Highly recommend! The clinic itself is clean and safe & the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Olivia (physio) has been AMAZING! Very helpful in my recovery from an injury but also overall physical health.

Ahmad Firas Khalid

Quintin is the best! Professional and great at his job. I lift weights and I found that Quintin understands well the target areas. I would highly recommend him to anyone and the clinic overall is fantastic

Nicole Millward

I've been seeing Olivia Drodge at Foundation King St E for a long running shoulder injury, and after years of trying unhelpful treatments I felt a huge different after just a few sessions. She is extremely knowledgable and combines different techniques to address the whole injury, not just the symptoms. The clinic is clean, easy to book in with, and I can tell that they are upholding excellent standards to keep their patients safe during COVID. Highly recommend Foundation Physio!

Christine

Best clinic! I have been seeing Alex for a couple years for my hip (pre and post surgery). She has helped me get back to being active again! She has given me easy to follow exercises that I can do at home, which keeps me in a good spot! She’s awesome!

Emily Deroche

I have been going to Foundations Physiotherapy on King E for help with a knee injury. Everyone is very professional, the facility is clean and comfortable. Alex has been working with me and has been incredibly helpful. She listens, offers great advice, and while my knee has a ways to go, I trust fully we will get there. Highly recommend this clinic!

Roshan Jeyakumar

Ali and Olivia were both phenomenal therapists who helped me recover from my lingering knee and shoulder issues. The thing that I liked the most about my experience was their abilities to educate me and teach me how to stay healthy long term! Ali offers a phenomenal running assessment that has tremendously helped me reduce the amount of pain I suffer when I run. He coached me to have better running form and my body loves him for it! Couldn't recommend this clinic enough!

Alex Lewis

The staff here are AMAZING. I’ve been seeing Ryan Albert for a back injury which I previously had for months and I’m finally starting to recover under his guidance. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable chiropractor and he makes me feel comfortable every time I go in, even with the ongoing covid pandemic.

Sara Boehringer

Highly recommend this clinic. I have been working with Olivia for a month now and feel like I am in great hands. Appreciate the technology they use to keep you active and accountable at home with stretches and exercises.

Arielle Elbaz

Alex is amazing! She’s been helping me with my migraines for a couple of years and I go see her religiously twice a week. It has made such a difference in my life. She is amazing at what she does and I couldn’t live without her incredibly helpful treatments. She also does acupuncture on me and she is great at that too. In addition, this new clinic is beautiful, clean and easy to get to. Everyone who works there is very warm and friendly. Alex always greets me with a big smile. I would recommend Alex and this beautiful clinic to anyone who needs a fantastic physiotherapist.

I have been seeing Ali Mazaheri to improve the mobility and strength of my leg after an injury. I already can see great results. Additionally, Ali is so nice as well as the customer service I have received from the rest of the team. I greatly recommend this place.

Just to let you know that Alireza gets results. Im extremely active and I went to him with my achy, clicky, wouldn't bend knees and after 2 sessions I felt a significant improvement, after 5 sessions , I am back to running 10km, 3 times a week plus doing my dance classes (online for now) and tennis when the weather is mild enough to swing a racquet outdoors. My knees feel 10 years younger Alireza is very knowledgeable and dispenses treatment which can be uncomfortable but ultimately works. He is also extremely pleasant to chat to and deal with. A five star physio.

Dr Ryan is great at electro-acupuncture and chiropractic services, especially with my neck and shoulder pain. He’s very friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy and come up with a plan to take care of your health.

I've had a motorcycle accident. Luckily no critical damage was done but I heavily injured my shoulder. I've been working with Mackenzie from Foundation and she's been great! Very knowledgeable and tailors sessions really well. Its been only two weeks since we started, but I already feel a huge improvement. Shoulder range is getting back to what it used to be. Can't recommend Mackenzie and the team enough! Update: I finished my program with Mackenzie and feeling great now. Not only all motion is restored but I think it even got better than it used to be. Big thanks to Mackenzie for her great help and everyone in Foundation Physio. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Most importantly I felt extremely safe visiting, everything being thoroughly cleaned.

Kathy Haro

I've been seeing Olivia for the past for weeks for pelvic physiotherapy. Highly recommend Olivia for anyone who needs to improve their pelvic health. She is very knowledgeable, personable and professional. Olivia made me feel comfortable and always took the time to explain what she was doing while in session. Thanks for helping me stay motivated in my healing journey!

louis ruso

My physio, Mackenzie, is super efficient in dealing my back pain. She is very passionate and professional and I value her advice. Her enthusiasm for optimum fitness is obvious. Mackenzie is personable, interested in people as well as conditions. I feel that I’m appreciated as an individual and a customer. I have been following her advice about exercises at home, and after spending many years dealing with my back pain, this is as good as it gets. Thank you!

HTDANCE Healing Through Dance

My experience with Olivia has been the best. Not only I have been seeing improvement in my original condition but I have also learned a great deal about how to maintain and improve my pelvic health. I would not go anywhere else. Also the staff at foundation physiotherapy is incredibly friendly and have made my appointments this year during the pandemic comfortable and stress free. Lina

Paul Carter

I've been getting treatments from Dr. Ryan Albert for a couple of months and noticed a big improvement in how my body feels. Ryan is friendly and professional, and the clinic is well organized.

Gordon Shadrach

Raphaële has been amazing. She is a very thoughtful physiotherapist and carefully takes into consideration my symptoms to determine the best course of action. She is able to adapt exercises to meet my personal needs. I would definitely recommend her.

Lynda Lennie

I have been going here for just over one month for neck and upper back stiffness. The results have been amazing. Dr Ryan Albert for chiropractic sessions and Fern Ambre for massage. I am on the road to a full recovery and notice that my running is no longer hampered by upper back pain.

Linda Hall

Olivia Drodge is the most informed and knowledgeable physio professional I have ever met. I highly recommend a visit. She doesn’t Google your health condition , like I have seen so many’s in the past do. She really Listens to both you and your body. I have recommended her to several doctors as well as friends .

Carolina Ospina

Very friendly staff! Ali helped my knee pain and strength get significantly better after I wasn't feeling at my best one year and half after my ACL reconstruction. I definitely recommend them!

Jarrett Slaney

I love this facility. Mackenzie has done wonders for me. I highly recommend and will continue to visit the team to fix any issues that come up because of my training.

Kay B

Overall very positive experience with Ali & the team here. Ali was knowledgeable, gave appropriate exercises based on my needs and abilities, and really helped me increase my range of motion and decrease pain. The rest of the team was responsive to calls and helpful!

Priyam Gupta

Ali has been helping me recover from a disc herniation related back pain since last year October. I was not able to walk more than 30 minutes without a shooting pain down my leg and lower back but after seeing Ali for a couple of months and diligently exercising my lower back region, I dont have that problem anymore. Ali has been a great help and I give a lot of credit for my improved lifestyle to him.

Kate Starr

Any new mum should go visit Olivia! She is knowledgable, personable and so helpful for Pelvic Floor (and general postpartum) health. Thank you!

andrew cackette

I’ve been to a number of physiotherapy clinics and this was my favourite. The staff are professional, personable and knowledgeable. I currently use three of their services; physio, massage and chiro. The team works together to provide personalized holistic care plans. The staff really know their stuff! The facility is clean and follows all safety precautions. They even have a point system where you can get free massages! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I highly recommend this place!

Andrew

This was my first experience getting Physiotherapy and I have to say that I was extremely pleased! I was in a lot of physical pain from my injury and also in a lot of emotional distress about having to go for in-person support during this intense time (pandemic). I was immediately comforted upon by arrival by the cleanliness of the place and how seriously they obviously took the safety of all clients and staff. They pre-screened me before my arrival and upon my arrival it was very obvious upon arriving to the physical space that they took social distancing and cleanliness guidelines very seriously. My physiotherapist Olivia was attentive, supportive, engaged and very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and was patient with me in regards to any follow-up concerns or additional support I needed in relation to the exercises. I felt very competent after leaving my first session to complete the exercises on my own. Olivia made sure, throughout my follow-up appointments, that I understood how to best support myself at home with the exercises and she did everything she could to support me additionally during our sessions. I am happy to say that I am pain free after four sessions and feel very confident to keep up with the exercises and care on my own. At the same time, I look forward to seeing Olivia again in the future for sound follow-up and should any further issues arise.

Alex Gosse

Olivia is an amazing physiotherapist and her warmth and openness made her easy to talk to. I visited her at the Corktown location with a condition that had been undiagnosed for over a decade. She was able to recognize it immediately and assure me that with some specific exercises I could decrease and possibly eliminate the problem. I followed her direction and recommendations and it made all the difference. Olivia was the first one to recognize the problem and spell out a clear path to repair. I would highly recommend her.

Jamie Fong

I cannot express how happy I am to have been referred to both Ali (PT) and Fern (RMT) from Foundation Physiotherapy. Both therapists are very knowledgeable, professional and personable. I noticed significant improvements in my back pain soon after starting physiotherapy with Ali. The treatments he has provided and the tools and exercises I have learned to incorporate daily have prevented any flare-ups and I am now almost symptom free. I am also very particular with my massages and found Fern to be extremely effective in relieving any tension I experience. I highly recommend the clinic and both therapists.

Jan-Michael Weir

I have been going to Foundation for a little over a month, for physio for a back injury. I've been working with Mackenzie. She is awesome! She brings a deep knowledge, and an intuitive approach to recovery. I trust her work completely. Also, I have to mention that the front staff are excellent as well. On my walk to my session a week or so ago, I was caught in a flash rain storm, and was soaked through. As soon as they saw the state I was in, they immediately got me a towel, a t-shirt/shorts to change into, and offered to dry my clothes in their facilities. Amazing!

Ryan Hopkins

I have nothing but great things to say about the Foundation team in Corktown. I've been working with Ali for a couple of months now after having my initial appointment to assess my shoulder after a fracture. He has been great with helping me regain the range of motion in my arm. Thank you!

Martha Kinkead

Excellent spot for chiro and massage. Extremely knowledgeable staff that takes time to explain everything. Dr. Ryan provides exercises to integrate into workouts which is extremely helpful. I’ve never experienced a chiropractor who is as vested in helping patients reach optimal health.

Ac

Very grateful for the incredibly knowledgeable, professional support and guidance from Olivia. I have a variety of challenges and she has been able to put together a comprehensive plan to help me on the road to recovery! Also love the app, such a great tool to help between visits.

Lindsay Olimer

Highly recommend Olivia for any pregnant moms. She is very personable and easy going, making me feel comfortable during all appointments. My husband also joined in preparation for our delivery and he was very thankful for her guidance as my support. Definitely recommend moms-to-be learn and work with Olivia to improve their pelvic floor strength pre and post-partum.

Dan Calof

I came to Foundation with a torn calf, and trying to get back into running shape. Mackenzie Holden was amazing -- we worked on my objectives together, she designed an evidence-based program, and guided me on my journey back from my injury. She listened well, modified if need be, and was very effective. When I had some questions, I sent her emails, expecting her to respond at our next appointment -- she normally replied within an hour! I strongly recommend Foundation, and Mackenzie.

kenny choi

Mackenzie is a fantastic physiotherapist to work with. She is an attentive listener and ensures all potential sources of pain are taken care of. The email follow-up is also a great reminder to keep home exercises at top of mind to speed up recovery.

Charlotte Crawford

Raphaële is my physiotherapist here and she is the physio I’ve ever had, truly fantastic!!! I had a pretty bad neck injury that was aggravated by working from home, I had very little movement, was in sooo much pain and couldn’t do my normal weight training routine. Raphaële reduced my pain significantly after one session and I got my full movement back in about 3-4 sessions. I honestly felt better after each session! She really listened to me, gave me at home solutions that worked for me and is a joy to work with! I recently move and am now actually closer to other locations, but I travel further to this location just to see Raphaële! Highly recommend ☺️

Richard Bugan

The great reviews are well founded, I came in with an injured shoulder and by working closely with Dr. Albert I was able to get back quickly. I had also mentioned a previous ankle fracture during the consultation and was pleased that Dr. Albert took the time to help me with rehabilitation (which was never done originally). Even two years after the fracture with small pains and mental blocks keeping me from using my ankle to it's full potential, Dr. Albert was able to help ease some of the pain and get my strength up to the point I have gotten back into sport. I would and have recommended Dr. Albert along with the King street site with high regard. Thank you King Street team for your work.

Rommel Gajadhar

I’ve had the opportunity to have massages by both RMTs, Fern and Quentin at the Corktown location. They were very professional and great at what they do. The cleanliness of the clinic always make me feel very safe, and I am always greeted by such welcoming and friendly staff!

Simone Lai

I have been a patient of Quentin’s (RMT) for 3+ months now. I was struggling with terrible neck pain (office/desk job), and a variety of shoulder and back pain due to my regular strength training as a powerlifter. After our first session together, I already felt relief! Quentin took the time to listen and understand not only my daily habits, but also my training habits and goals so that he could provide massage therapy in a manner that would benefit me in the long run. He is professional, personable, asks thoughtful questions to get to know my movement patterns, and really assesses the situation holistically. He also provided me with a variety of exercises & stretches to incorporate into my daily life to minimize chronic pain. I walk away from every session more relaxed and educated! Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or just someone who needs a massage/tune up, you can trust that Quentin truly cares about his clients! Overall, the clinic is clean and tidy, the front desk staff is always professional, and all other staff that pass by are friendly and polite too. Everyone has a smile on their face – a pleasant experience, especially during COVID times! I highly recommend Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness!

Stephanie Charitar

Went to deal with severe headaches and noticed an improvement after the first session. It was a great experience and Olivia Drodge was amazing with recommending exercises and pinpointing areas of strengthening.

Kalman Fekete

The new location of Foundation is the nicest clinic I have been to by far. You're always welcomed with a warm smile by staff and always treated with the highest level of care. I've been a client for almost four years and two shoulder surgeries. Alexandra Sandler has treated me through two recoveries. She is a wealth of knowledge and has excellent hands on treatment skills. I have also started to see Dr. Ryan Albert for lower back issues. He is the first chiropractor that has truly addressed my condition. For anyone who is in need of some form of care and treatment, I highly recommend booking an appointment.

Korey Anderson

Highly recommend! I have been working with Mackenzie for about a month now on my post-concussion symptoms. She has been a huge help and always takes the time to listen and adapt our sessions where necessary. The clinic itself is super clean and staff are taking all the precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy

Marta Kopun

Wonderful facility with amazing physiotherapists. I've been going to Ali for a shoulder injury and he's been incredibly helpful!!!

Camille Naidoo

Love the quiet and private feel of this clinic! Alexandra’s been great with adjusting treatments to my needs. She sets realistic goals and adjusts them to fit my lifestyle. Her active physio approach (hands-on manipulation and exercise regimens) have been incredibly helpful with both my pain management and overall mobility and strength. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a physiotherapist who genuinely cares about getting you better.

Jennifer Bell

I came to see Mackenzie Holden with extreme pain and limited mobility in my shoulder in March. She has worked so hard and considered many different and effective ways of easing me through the process of improving my condition. She has treated me with strength and kindness. Her knowledge and good humour have played a huge part in my comfort with treatment resulting in an increase in mobility and decrease in pain! I will highly recommend her to anyone in need of an outstanding physiotherapist.

Nick T

Found the place when I had to use my end of year benefits, and boy am I glad I did. Wasn't sure about it due to covid, but the steps are respected so no issues there. I've had a few physio and RMT interactions through years of Rugby, so it's very pleasant to say that I am impressed with my interactions with Mackenzie (physio) and Quentin (RMT). They are both young yet incredibly talented. I'm not saying you'll like what they do to you on the spot, but man is it worth it. I also recommend getting your neck cracked by Ryan (chiro). That was a first for me, and I've never slept better

Trevor Scott

Excellent and quality care. Went for a torn meniscus. Full recovery. Thanks Alex and Quentin!!

Wayne Higgins

I have been going to the Corktown location for over a month for a knee problem and been dealing with Mackenzie Holden. I have found her thorough and intuitive in her treatment and my knee has progressed well. I would definitely recommend her.

Jonathan Lam

I've been coming to Foundation Physiotherapy for a few months now. The staff and the clinic is very inviting. Alexandra has done such an amazing job with my recovery. I would highly recommend this place for all your physio needs!

Mark Yates

I've been seeing Dr. Ryan Albert for my back/neck stiffness and discomfort. He was able to provide immediate relief as well as some exercises to provide flexibility and strength in areas that have been causing my pain. He has been extremely helpful! The staff are friendly and the facility is amazing. I highly recommend Foundation to anyone who is looking for help with pain and discomfort

Laura Ross

I am grateful to Foundation Physiotherapy and my physiotherapist, Mackenzie Holden, for helping me resolve my piriformis tightness and pain. Mackenzie developed an effective plan of care, with hands on treatment and walked me through numerous exercises to alleviate my day-to-day pain and make me a stronger and more sustainable runner!

kalpagam akkaraju venkata

Highly recommend Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness - King Street Location. I was treated by Olivia Drodge - Registered Physiotherapist, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She was really hands-on and tuned into treating me holistically. Highly recommend all young women to see a pelvic health specialist and not just pre and post natal women. The insights from a pelvic health specialist will change the quality of life for all women. Thank you Olivia! :)

Gillian Gallow

The absolute best physiotherapy I have ever had. Alexandra Sandler is amazing and her hands on work is essential after an injury.
