Reviews of Prairie Trail Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic Winnipeg (Physiotherapist)

Jill Pearce

Susanne was my physio and she was the best! She fixed my low back pain quick and made treatment enjoyable and easy. She is very skilled with dry needling and knows so much about exercises and how to teach them so they are easy to understand. Would definitely recommend her!

Rick Schmidt

Susanne treated me several times last year for a shoulder problem. She is very knowledgable and attentive, and her treatment for my shoulder was very effective. I would wholeheartedly recommend her!

Serafino DiMarco

Absolutely Amazing experience. Outstanding physiotherapists. Great Massage Therapy.

Shannon Bailey

I had a great experience with Dan and the team at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. Dan determined the root of my problem and provided me with effective exercises to target the issue. After about 6 weeks of working with Dan, I am pain free and look forward to meeting my running goals. I made an appointment at the clinic to address knee pain following my runs. Dan completed an initial assessment of my pain and mobility. He recommended exercises for me to practice at home and ensured I was able to practice them safely by practicing the exercise with me before I left the clinic. I then met with him every week for assessments and to modify the exercises. Equipment for the exercises was minimal (tennis ball, towel, step). Dan is very knowledgeable and professional. I truly appreciate his expertise and genuine interest in helping me reach my goals. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to work with a physiotherapist. Thanks Dan!

I’ve been seeing Sarah for several years now to treat chronic pain and tightness, which have resulted from multiple MVA injuries. I really can’t say enough positive things about Sarah and all that she’s done for me. She listens carefully, asks the right questions and always provides excellent treatment and exercise plans. She is a master at dry needling, which has been very beneficial for me. Sarah is extremely professional, always on time, and my time with her never feels rushed. She genuinely cares and is a top notch physiotherapist and person. I would highly recommend Prairie Trail Physiotherapy, and Sarah in particular.

Alex Allardyce

Can't say thanks enough to the team at Prairie Trail Physio. They gave me my life back! Would recommend them to anyone.

Amber Wiebe

Kristy M is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She doesn't make you come in just to do exersises or just to get the billing, she actively works on your issue. Clinic is very nice and reception is friendly and helpful.

Jeremy Warnick

Gina Imbrogno and her staff have been providing world class service to myself, family and friends for a number of years now. Gina has helped me recover from a number of major injuries and return to the sports and activities that I enjoy. Extremely positive, determined and talented at her craft. I strongly recommend anyone suffering from injury or ailment to consult the pros at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy!

Mischevious Wolf

I have been dealing with severe foot pain for months and was going to physiotherapy somewhere else. It was helping but as soon as I returned to work the pain was coming back. Someone gave my the recommendation for this place and in 1 visit I knew more about what was going on and causing the pain. They were friendly, helpful, answered all my questions and worked on fixing the actual problem. I did a session of dry needling and afterwards they taped my calf. Huge difference today when I was at work. Will continue with a few more sessions on dry needling for sure.

Sarah is a mad pro. She really takes the time to listen and understand what you need. Wouldn't go anywhere else to get a bit of dry needling done.

Beverly Poolie

Susanne is amazing. She takes the time to listen and makes sure you leave there feeling better, and she truly cares. She will always be my go to Physiotherapist.

Daniel Moscovitch

I have been seeing Susanne for 6 months now to help me with some chronic hip pain. She has been great and the dry needling treatment has worked wonders. Will continue to come here for years to come!

Terry Schmidt

I have been seeing Susanne over the years with an assortment of injuries .She has always demonstrated nothing but professional behaviour and is very knowledgeable in her treatments prescribed .She has always taken time to explain the injury and purpose of the exercises and has gone the extra mile finding additional exercises to be more specific in rehabilitation . I highly recommend Susanne for her knowledge and treatment as well as her enthusiastic, warm demeanour .

Michelle Card

Susanne is an incredible physiotherapist. She is passionate about the human body and her knowledge is outstanding. She is the type of person who will study the problem after hours to ensure that she gets to the route of the issue. I really appreciate her dedication and have sent many friends and family her way. She is who I would go to in the future if I ever needed care. She goes above and beyond. I am grateful for her and her staff.

Brett Roberts

Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable

Letgotogetagrip

Very professional and they get to the bottom of your health issues. The best experience I’ve had with physio therapy and I’ve had a lot

Andrea Martens

I have been seeing Suzanne for several years for problems with my lower back and hips. She is an excellent listener and was able to pinpoint and address the problem where other therapists could not, with the use of dry needling. This, combined with exercises she has prescribed, has pretty much alleviated what had been ongoing discomfort. She and the rest of the team at Prairie Trail are always very friendly and professional.

Gonzalo F. Collaguazo

Overall great experience, amazing staff. Desiree really knew how to get to the pressure points and alleviate the pain. Highly recommend ????????

Shawn Arnal

Highly recommended. Great knowledgeable physiotherapists that are courteous and extremely helpful in diagnosing your problem and helping your healing and recovery from any injury.

Riley Pollard

Dan Girardin was the most knowledgable, professional, and helpful physiotherapist I've seen. Truly a step above the rest. You can have complete confidence in the services offered by Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. A big thank you to Dan for helping me out when times were tough.

Darren Brown

I've been going here for rehab of my broken ankle and have been seeing Sarah Bleichert. She came highly recommended and I see why. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a good physio!! (5 Stars) !!!!!

Hayley Walker-Ross

Two years ago I had a really bad accident I was new to the area and needed physio bad. I came across prairie trail on a google search and I have never looked back! I have had a nothing but a positive experience from Gina and everyone else that works at the clinic! I suggest go there they have different physiotherapist for all your needs it’s an amazing family and welcoming atmosphere! Again I can’t thank them enough for all the support they have given me and still continue to provide!

Lorraine Milan

Booking an appointment was easy, staff were all friendly! Dan was fantastic - he took the time to help figure out the problem, demonstrated exercises and ensured I was doing them properly. He was patient and informative. I will continue to see Dan whenever I need it!

Jeff Bie

I've had back issues for a long time, but the last injury left me practically immobile. After a week of trying to see if it would take care of itself, I made an appointment to see Susanne. She provided me with with initial assessment and we proceeded with an exercise plan alongside dry needling that has helped my back health immeasurably. Within a few weeks I was back to my regular weight-training program, and after another few weeks I was able to perform deadlifts again. I am feeling confident in my lower-back strength again, and should any issues arise in the future I know exactly who to see!

Maxine Peters

I have been going to Prairie Trail for over a year, and Suzanne has helped me so much! The whole staff are so kind and helpful, and I am happy to say that I am in much better shape because of the help of the Clinic. Thank you guys!!!

Jon NEIMA

First time doing physio and it was great. I was referred by co - workers and I'm glad I went. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and well trained.

Aja McMillan

Going to Prairie Trail Physiotherapy changed my life for the better! I was looking for help with chronic headaches. From the very first appointment Sarah was kind, attentive, informative, and gave me the kind of hope I hadn't had in years. Every time I go, she remembers details about my situation and my life with clarity and that always makes me feel comfortable and respected. The treatments and exercises I have received from her have improved my quality of life greatly. Many thanks to this place and to Sarah!

Claudia Sanchez

I highly recommend Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. I had two different therapists and they were both great at what they do. Desiree ended up being the last one that treated me and I have to say, she did a great job at helping me get better because she listens and responds by doing exactly what needs to be done. Thank you Desiree!! ????????

Eileen E-P

I have had great treatment experiences with Susanne R at this clinic. It is obvious that she is a very knowledgeable physiotherapist who is enthusiastic and keen to remain up to date with current & new therapeutic methods as well continually expanding her expertise and training in order to better serve her patients. Her assessments are always comprehensive and thorough, .. never rushed. Her bedside manner is excellent, demonstrating excellent communication skills. Her explanations are clear and well thought out. I always appreciate that she explains the dual importance of not only in-clinic therapeutic manoeuvres but also spends time educating and empowering me of the importance of home based prescribed exercises in order to optimize results and recovery. Highly recommended. The staff are always friendly and helpful as well.

Akshay sharma

Amazing clinic! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. My physiotherapist Desiree was always well prepped for the sessions and helped me recover from an 8 month long injury in just a few weeks! Highly recommended this clinic.

Seint Kokokyi

My physiotherapist is Susanne Robson and I can only provide feedback in the context of receiving services from her. Susanne takes a holistic approach and provides intervention that address both specific problem areas and my entire body. She appears to be up-to-date with the research in the field (as a research-practitioner myself, I really appreciate that). She meets me where I am at but the same time empowers me try new interventions. I have seen several physiotherapists in the past, and by far her services have been most effective in helping me recover from my chronic injuries.

Christina C

Amazing and personable Staff!!! Desiree and Tamara have been the super team that have gotten me back on my feet and doing what I love. Incredible support and top notch care ???? They are a team that cares and will be with you every step of the way ❤

Carleen Batson

I had a lovely experience at this clinic. Dan was my physiotherapist for about a month. He was professional, respectful, polite, caring, accommodating, understanding, good with conversation, gave great advice and is quite a specialist at what he does. I am now pain free, functional and very happy. Thank you Dan! You are amazing! All the best! :)

Claudia Smith

I have known Susanne for more than ten years. It was only in 2018 she became my physiotherapist. I was experiencing hip, gluteal and tibialis anterior pain. No amount of stretching was bringing me relief. Even though Suzanne is very familiar with my line of work, she was extremely thorough with her investigation as to when my issue began; when they caused me the most discomfort and what relief I did have, if any. Suzanne laid out a plan of treatment as well as exercises for me to work on when I arrived for treatment and at home. Suzanne was always professional, friendly and dedicated to my treatment. I always felt cared for during my appointments. Suzanne is truly dedicated to her work and her patients. She is integral in the reason I was able to return to my work and remain healthy to this day. I trust Suzanne.

Rihana Robson

Susanne has been helping me improve the condition of my shin splints for years in attempt to allow me to run longer distances. She provides appropriate and effective assessments while giving me treatment and exercises to follow up with. I have seen great improvement in my running abilities since she began dry needling me 3 years ago. I trust Susanne’s skills and professionalism without a doubt. I highly recommend her physiotherapist services to anyone in need.

Sherri Pockett

Sarah B , I cannot tell enough people how much you helped my frozen shoulder, which caused my neck and upper back pain, to tighten up - I am so grateful to have seen you

Avery s

Sarah is the best! She has helped me a lot with all of my injuries

Lizzie Muhr

We have been seeing Suzanne for a number of years on a number of matters. Suzanne and her staff are incredibly professional and on time. She also invest significant amounts of time with her patients whether it be for dry needling, acupuncture, or exercise physiotherapy. She has remedied a number of complicated ailments including achilles, knee hyperextension and the such. I cannot recommend her enough for sports and dance injuries.

Luigi Imbrogno

I always have an amazing experience when I come here. From massage therapy to physio and dry needling they do it all and I always leave feeling better. Staff are amazing and so knowledgeable.

Yvonne Rempel

I have had the best experience at Prairie Trail. My physiotherapist Susanne was very knowledgeable and thorough and help guide me through my neck pain with exercises and dry needling. Feeling so much better! Thanks Susanne!

Bradik Longsword

I've been going to Suzanne for a number of months to assist with my back condition. She's been very helpful in working with me to develop core strength in a consistent and progressive manner without further injury. It's always a pleasure to be able to check in at anytime using the app too to give additional information and receive feedback as needed for guidance so it's been tremendously supportive.

Suzi Friesen

Gina & her team have helped me pre & post pregnancies! In all the years that I've been going to Prairie Trail Physio, I know that I'm always going to be well taken care of. Staff has always been very knowledgeable & dedicated in helping me get my body back to feeling 100% again.

bhavika patel

My first experience, with excellent results and recovery. Thanks to Susanne. I Absolutely recommend this center.

A-M

Very professional, kind, efficient and knowledgeable.

Brittany Maister

I had an amazing experience! The people are extremely friendly and know exactly how to treat body pain. I came in with a sore back and my therapist Dan knew exactly what exercises would help relieve the pain after one visit. Completely worth going!

Lisa Hill

Susanne Robson is a miracle worker???? Lived way too long with pain and she “fixed” me in just a couple of treatments Also the Embodia program is golden as well Highly recommend her and how she is not happy until you are happy

Jessica

Kristy M treated me after a car accident. The time she spent really understanding my injures made me feel more then just a MPI claim. What a amazing experience at Prarie Trail Physiotherapy. Prairie Trail Physiotherapy has done it again, they were able to get my whole body feeling better. They are able to zone in on my problem areas and teach me stretches and routines that start the healing. They are experts in theifield and is passionate about the work they do.

Anita Van Der Aa

I was told years ago that physio would help me... and resisted for a long time. So glad a friend shared about their experience with Suzanne at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy! Her welcoming nature, knowledge and ability to impart that knowledge made it easy to trust my care with her. Can't say enough good things about Suzanne and Prairie Trail Physiotherapy! I highly recommend them!

G Miolli

Initially I was reluctant to see a Physiotherapist for a problem with my arm, but after my assessment and treatment with Desiree, I understood that I should have sought help earlier, she's very professional and has a pleasant disposition, I highly recommend Desiree !!!

Chantelle Allary

The physiotherapist was very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me tips on what to do depending on my level of pain, gave me excerises that I could do depending on how I was functioning, and overall it was a great experience (all things considered). He was very patient, calm and non judgmental. I'll definitely go here again if I am ever in need.

Amy Bain

I am very very active and don’t take time to rest but going to prairie trail physio has kept me in such good shape and helped me avoid injury! I’m so thankful to them! My entire family kids, parents, husband now all go there as well! Anyone who wants an amazing physio experience with well trained, knowledgeable top notch care this is where you should go!

Erica Smith

Everyone in general at the clinic is great. I have nothing but good things to say about Sarah and Desiree. My self and my daughter have seen them both and are understanding, and truly listen to concerns. Their approach is conservative and for the comfort of the patient.

Linda Friesen

I have been seeing Susanne for the past few months for lower back/hip issues. She has helped me tremendously with the recommended exercises & the dry needling that she does. She is very knowledgeable & hands-on which I haven't had in the past. The staff there are also fantastic!

Jeff Haddon

I go for physiotherapy and dry needling once a month. Gina and her team are very professional and are accommodating with their appointment times. I always appreciate the advice, exercises and stretches to help rehabilitate my issue.

Angelica Cristofori

I have suffered for almost 3 decades from cluster headaches and migraines, which were the result of a bad car accident. My chiropractor told me to try Prairie Trail Physiotherapy Clinic on Taylor for dry needling. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful when I needed help filling out the forms. I was treated on time and my Physiotherapist actually listened carefully while I went through every pain in my upper body! I can honestly say that after my first appointment with Gina, the range of motion of my neck increased by 75%! My tension decreased and my sinuses actually cleared up! Dry needling has definitely worked wonders for my migraines and neck, shoulder and scalp tension. After almost 30 years of discomfort I have finally found relief! Thank you Gina! I would most definitely recommend Prairie Trail Physiotherapy.

Nicole Smith

Suzanne is my amazing physiotherapist. Starting from my assessment and through out my treatments, she demonstrates compassion and is always highly motivated to see me succeed and be injury free. Her attention to detail is exceptional, always very attentive and takes the time to re-assess at every appointment. She makes the necessary recommendations and treatments that have been effective. I highly recommend Suzanne as she has been so beneficial in restoring my body back to health. Thank you so much Suzanne!

Ashleigh Guzzi

Susanne is hands-down the best physiotherapist I’ve seen! She is extremely knowledgeable, and has helped me with a variety of injuries over several years (exercise/sports related, as well as due to a car accident). Unlike so many other physiotherapists I have seen in the past (who have mainly prescribed ice/heat/rest, along with exercises to do at home), Susanne is very hands-on with her treatments- as a result, I always leave my appointments feeling better than when I arrived. I have seen Susanne for physio, dry needling, and acupuncture, and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing physiotherapist- she will get you fixed up in no time! Seriously, she’s the best ????

Kelly Morganti

I have been a patient for over 4 years, seeking treatment for reoccurring back pain. I have been very happy with the treatments I have received from Dan and Sarah! The admin staff is extremely professional and have always been accommodating appointments that work with my schedule. I have referred many friends and family to seek treatment here, each have received exceptional care. Desiree was exceptionally helpful in treating my mother who had sever back pain and at times was unable to walk. Desiree was so thorough and patient as she cared for my mother. She made her feel comfortable and helped her to a full recovery. Highly recommended!

J Price

My daughter and I have been seeing Susanne for a few years now and couldn’t be more pleased with her kindness, enthusiasm and thoroughness that she has shown. Susanne constantly goes above and beyond all expectations to make sure our injuries and concerns are treated properly. Her skill with the dry needling practice has given much relief. I have referred many friends and family, as her treatments have helped immensely.

Jodi Johnson

Susanne is an excellent physiotherapist. She has the combination of technical and people skills. Her love for her profession and clients is evident. She never misses a detail and Is notably thorough. She always starts every visit with a mini evaluation to get an accurate assessment on what is happening versus assuming she already knows based on a previous visit. She always takes the time to listen and ask a lot of questions instead of assuming. I never feel like just another patient or that it’s a routine appointment. She will stay with you until progress is achieved and will use physical body manipulation when she is working on you. In past experiences, this can be difficult to find in a physiotherapist. Her knowledge, attention to detail, care and determination to help her clients make her a great choice and I would highly recommend her.

Cathy McDougall

I have been seeing Susanne for arm and neck pain since February of last year. She has continually listened, problem solved and made recommendations. The exercises and dry needling have been amazingly beneficial. But one needs to know exercises need to be done regularly long term to benefit so a commitment is required in this front. But it works! She is caring compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and funny!! She goes beyond to help us, her clients. All the staff at Prairie Trail are friendly, caring and helpful. I highly recommend!!

Yash Rajpara

Dr Dan is great and very interactive. I’ve been there twice for different issues and each time my issues have been resolved within a couple of sessions. Dr Dan is really friendly and I felt comfortable asking all my questions without hesitation. I would highly recommend Prairie Trail.

Kyle Friesen

My family and I have been been coming to this clinic for years and have had many different injuries looked after by the staff. Everyone at the clinic has a wealth of knowledge and experience to get you back to your active, healthy self.

Praveen Bajaj

I saw susanne last year few times in march 2020 for a torn rotator cuff injury. I referred my sister to susanne who phoned me crying saying she didnt much of treatments instead she made my neck worst. I had two car accidents one in July 2020 and second one in September 2020. Since those two accidents I have had 15 treatments for my whiplash but since continue to suffer from excruciating headaches with pain going down my face and ears. As well my right shoulder is very sore...Suzanne did very little treatment only worked twice on my next in 15 times. I am suffering in so much pain. I have already used half of my treatments from MPI. Susanne when I ask her to do treatments she will say I have to go I have two patients waiting for me then shes gone. I even discussed these issues with her to which she replied you can go see another physiotherapist. Most of time I was ignored and she tells her receptionist to show us exercises as well as she tells them do our ultrasound. I thought these things were only done professionally trained people. When I asked why receptionist were doing these skills she said they are taking course in athletic therapy.but the receptionist are not working as athletic therapist at present. I didnt feel comfortable about them doing it. I am suffering unable to sleep at night. Six months later my symptoms are still so acute. I saw susanne that she wore gloves to see that she used treatment on another patients she only sanitized it but I was uncomfortable with that during the pandemic. I asked her to wash her hands before she comes to me but she took an offence to that. On my last visit she walked up to and held up her hands look I washed them they are so clean that I can do surgery. Handwashing should be routine pandemic or not. Susanne ofter has six patients booked at the same time so she doesn't have much time. I see her giving her full to other patients but not to me. Maybe Iam treated differently because of my heritage. I am very disappointed in her unprofessional behaviour and her prejudices.

Kim Cole

To start: I was recommend to see Susanne Robson about a hip problem. Best thing ever! With Susanne's knowledge, dry needling, recommended exercises & my commitment problem solved! Through our discussions & Susanne's direction I have a better understanding of the body, leading to the benefit of a stronger core, legs & arms. These simple exercises are a daily (every other day) commitment but well worth it coupled with their great exercise tracking app called Embodia. Fully recommended!

Tyler N

I have seen Sarah now as my physiotherapist since 2019 when I was provider her name from a friend for a serious low back issue that sidelined me in the middle of my summer. The injury was quite severe as it affected my mental and physical health. What impressed me immediately at the time of meeting Sarah was her passion for the work she did, and the high level of integrity she demonstrated. This referral was the best thing that happened as I made a remarkable recovery because of her expertise and skill sets, and at a pace I didn't expect! I continue seeing Sarah for regular maintenance and things are amazing. I trust Sarah so much that I have referred numerous friends to her as well for their own issues, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive too. It has been an absolute pleasure to know Sarah, and she's such an asset at Prairie Trail Physio.

Susana Berodia

I’ve had a really good experience in Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. My physiotherapist is Desiree, she is very professional and friendly, I feel very well cared and she is dedicated and following up on me and how I feel. She contacted the specialists I have seen before and asked for results of studies to evaluate them and decide the best way to treat me. The administrative employees at the front desk, specially Maria Miolli, were very friendly, courteous and helpful.

Jeremy Blanchard

In short, this is a great spot with a great team, and I can and will recommend them to anyone. To digress a bit... For me, any time I go to a professional, whether they're a doctor, dentist, a tradesperson, et al, it's always important to me that they're involved in teaching, passing on their skills to new professionals, because it says some important things about their identity and values. To me it says that they have enough knowledge and confidence to take on that responsibility without losing focus, it says that they care enough about outcomes to continue the ongoing process of learning and developing those skills so that you can be reasonably sure they are providing a high standard of care that is in-line with or exceeding industry standards, and it says that they understand the role of relationships not just in building a business but in building community. And, yeah, Prairie Trail Physio is active in teaching physio students, the staff are knowledgeable and magnanimous, and will extend every opportunity to you to make sure that you can maximize your recovery. I spent six months rehabbing a workplace injury and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. Susanne is a rockstar, but honestly, every interaction I had with staff was a positive one and I saw enough return clients to know that this place is a real gem. Seriously, seriously good.

Shae Matheson

I highly recommend Prairie Trail!! All the staff are friendly and professional. I had the pleasure of working with Desiree and she was so amazing and caring! She got me back to normal and was very informative and helpful. I also really appreciated the personalized handwritten thank you note I received after my treatments were complete :). Thank you Desiree and the Prairie Trail team!!

Nancy Robertson

I have successfully been treated by Susanne for various ailments over the last few years. Most recently I had severe shoulder pain which restricted my ability to dress, drive and feed myself. I immediately sought out treatment from Susanne. With her efficient professional treatment including dry needling I recovered totally within 2 weeks. Thanks Susanne!!

Barb Hermann

Helped my son out

Maia Ehmann

Susanne is awesome!! She has treated me for my back issues along with various other things for the last few years and has been nothing but informative, supportive, positive and helpful! She always makes sure I'm well taken care of and her treatments always have me feeling 100% again! Wouldn't want to have physio done anywhere else!

Chris C

My wife and I have been going to Susanne Robson since about 2009. We think that Susanne is by far, more hands on than any other physiotherapists we have been too. We won't go to anyone else. She goes above and beyond in our opinion. Susanne is very friendly and easy going. She has a keen interest in figuring out what the problem is in addition to treating the symptoms. We have recommended many family members and friends to her, all of them were very happy with her. She is one of kind!

Darlene curry

My daughters and I have been going to Prairie Trail Physiotherapy off and on for a few years. The staff is exceptional! All the physiotherapist are knowledgeable and take the time to figure out what kind of treatment is needed- including giving exercises if needed to strengthen an area. I have tmj and dry needling has been a life saver. Anyone needing a physiotherapist should look no further- highly recommend.

Bev Kozun

EDIT. I “graduated” from Physio today!!! Thank you so much Gina and all your staff. I was actually running inside the gym, something I didn’t think I would ever do again. Thank you for all you do ???? Last September I fell, broke one leg bone, and snapped both ankle bones, thankfully all in the same leg. And I’m in my sixties. ORIF surgery, 10 weeks no weight bearing. And the prognosis was it will be a long and painful recovery. After six weeks, my doctor released me to physiotherapy for the duration of my recovery, and that’s where Prairie Trail came to my aid. Gi Na and her wonderful staff, got me on the right track. Was it easy,no. My body needed to go through it to heal properly. But I knew I needed to do if I was ever going to walk again. I am now at 4 months, 16 weeks post op, and I’M BACK walking. No more wheelchair, cane, boot, all gone. I can’t thank them enough for their work and passion they put into their clients. Thanks for being so good at your jobs.

Thuy Mui

I had a knee injury and Susanne at Prairie Trail has done a phenomenal job on me to make me get back to my regular exercise routine. She has spent fair amount of time to pin point the problem and showed me different techniques to recover. Susanne is very passionate for her work and everybody can tell through her positive vibes.

Jeff Slusky

Excellent experience with Susanne Robson, who treated my right-arm "tennis elbow" injury by tracing it to neck issues triggered by poor posture. Took a very thorough, detailed history and was able to zero in on the cause of the inflammation and discomfort. Mostly pain-free after five weeks of dry-needling and hands-on treatment, and now armed with home exercise program going forward. Highly recommended.

Diane Sparrow DeGrave

I have only been seeing Sarah for a short time, but during this time she has taken the time to ensure her techniques support my recovery. She ensures I understand the exercises and the treatment process. She uses a dry needling technique as well, which has aided in my healing. Sarah is extremely professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

David B

Susanne has provided excellent support and therapy for me over the past few months for a set of complex shoulder and neck issues. Starting with an assessment that determined not only the specific sources of the pain I was experiencing, but also the range of activities I engaged in during the course of my days that were either affected by, or contributing to my issues, she provided a variety of treatments, exercises and suggestions that have made things so much better for me. Her focus went beyond pain reduction and helping me regain stability, strength and mobility to a genuine concern for my well-being. Thank you Susanne for your care, understanding, and wonderful support!

Allison Grouette

I have had the priviledge to both work alongside Susanne and recieve treatment by her, she is amazing! I have learned so much about how prescribed exercises and treatments can help heal your injuries and fix issues you didnt know were there! Susanne is one of the most empathetic health care practitioners that I have come across , she always has a positive outlook and greets her patients like longtime friends. While doing my practicum here she guided me to put to use my knowledge and training with ultrasound machines, teaching exercises and conversing with patients which allowed me to really experience the patient care aspect of healthcare. There is no doubt why people call all the time to book appointments with her whether its through word of mouth or past patients coming back after years! I highly recommend anyone seeking physiotherapy to book with Susanne! She is amazing and you wont regret it. The entire team at Prairie Trail are so welcoming and go above expectations. Cannot recommend enough!

Matt Lischynski

Excellent facility and Staff! Would recommend 100%

Valerie Hagen

In my journey to find healing and relief from a nasty injury, I had tried many different avenues. I had actually given up on physiotherapy completely and then was advised to try dry needling. In my search to find someone that offered this service in Winnipeg, I found Susanne Robson at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. Susanne is not only an expert in dry needling, but also excels in manual therapy and acupuncture. She created a customized exercise program for me as well and I am well on my way to full recovery. Susanne 's skillset is second to none and her attention to every detail is beyond all expectation. Thanks Susanne!

Marissa Westman

I have been to Prairie Trail many times and have seen all their wonderful physiotherapists. I am currently seeing Desiree who is helping me with a low back issue I have been having for a while. Desiree is so kind and knowledgeable. She ensures I understand what is causing my issues and has been using a very active approach to my treatment plan. She has given me great exercises and I have already started to see the difference from when I first saw her. I can not recommend Prairie Trail enough!

Jillian Renaud

Physiotherapy helps with breastfeeding issues! I went in to see Kristi Hunter for a plugged milk duct. As most moms would know, a plugged duct can lead to a very painful breast infection called mastitis if it's not cleared right away, not to mention the plug alone can be excruciatingly painful. The amount of time and energy that goes in to clearing a plugged duct on your own is next to impossible while caring for a baby. I heard that Kristi Hunter was certified in this type of physiotherapy, so I immediately booked an appointment with her. It took two treatments of a combination of ultrasound and massage, then the plug loosened right up and cleared! Now I've had my fair share of plugs and have tried absolutely every kind of home remedy for them, but the physiotherapy is, by far, much more effective!

Sheldon Peddle

I've been seeing Sarah Bleichert, a Physiotherapist at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic for about three to four years now. I see Sarah every 4 to 6 weeks primarily for dry-needling treatment to alleviate chronic pain and numbness in my forearms and hands. I was referred to Sarah by Dr Charles Johnson, a Physiatrist I'd been seeing specifically for dry-needling treatment since 2010 - Dr Johnson retired in 2016 or so. Sarah is very knowledgable, conscientious, friendly, and a skilled physiotherapist. In addition to Dr Johnson's diagnosis and recommended course of treatment, Sarah assessed my chronic injury and added a variety of home exercises to help correct some postural issues which were contributing to my long term arm and hand issues. She hasn't just treated the symptoms, but came up with.a treatment approach to address the underlying problems which directly contribute to my chronic long standing injury. As a direct result of Sarah's input and treatments my posture has improved, my postural muscles have become stronger and the pain and numbness in my arms has diminished (I know that my hands and arms will never be 100%). During each treatment session, Sarah takes the time to listen to my concerns and most recent arm/hand/posture issues and when required, she supplements the dry needling with manual adjustments and more "traditional" physiotherapy treatment. I leave every treatment session with better range of movement, less pain and tightness and less numbness in my hands and arms. Sarah is a very skilled dry needling practitioner and I feel lucky to have found her. The entire staff at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy is wonderful and I feel very comfortable and confident in their care. I highly recommend Sarah and Prairie Trail Physiotherapy!

I went to Prarie Trail Physiotherapy seeking treatment for what's commonly referred to as a pinched nerve and my therapist was Dan, he is awesome!!! He reassured me that my arm ( that felt pretty much useless) would be back to functioning like it was prior to this issue, he was right. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and he listens to his clients/patients, he makes suggestions to make the homework easier for the individual, like using items you may already have at home instead of purchasing new equipment. I highly recommend Prarie Trail Physiotherapy, the entire team is welcoming and friendly, and I can't Thank You enough Dan!

Kelly Andrushko

Sarah is an amazing physiotherapist!

Wendy Havens

I made an appointment to see Dan with a bad back. I saw him weekly for 4 weeks. After each visit my mobility had greatly improved until after the last 2 week follow up, I was able to graduate. The specific stretching and strengthening exercises he showed me have helped to keep my back healthy since my last visit.

Olivia Bauch

I’m so glad I was referred to Susanne. Years of constant pain has essentially subsided with 1.5 months of home exercises and in clinic treatments. Professional, extremely knowledgeable, fun energy and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t say enough great things. The physio aides are also an excellent group who help ensure your exercises are being done correctly as to get the most out of your treatment. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend Susanne and Prairie Trails Physio!

I was more than satisfied with the therapy I received from Susanne Robson at Prairie Trail. I arrived in a wheelchair recuperating from tibial plateau surgery and after 3 months, I'm walking and driving. Susanne is extremely knowledgeable, honest and personable and I would recommend her to anyone.

Michelle Senkiw

A huge thank you to Susanne Robson. Susanne has helped me so many times. She is an expert in diagnosing my aches and pains, providing me with treatments, and giving me follow up exercises. Susanne is knowledgeable, kind, caring, and has a great sense of humour. Above all, Susanne’s treatments always enable me to get back to the things I love like walking pain free, yoga, Zumba, and golfing.

Caity Curtis

The best physio experience I’ve ever had! Desiree was awesome and helped me build a plan that I was able to stick to. In a few months my back pain has almost disappeared and I feel great. Highly recommend!

Joanne Mckenzie

In 2020 I was in a minor car accident that resulted in some persistent pain in my back and neck. I was referred to Prarie Trail by a friend. I am extremely impressed with how professional the staff has been. Each visit I have had, I feel well cared for and have always had a positive experience. Highly recommended!

Scot Dressler

I saw Susanne for a pretty intense case of plantar fasciitis as a university track athlete. I had worked with about a dozen other therapists over the years and after see Susanne, in approximately 3 months I was pain free and have been pain free for the last ten years! ( very important note) I use Susanne for all my personal treatments including a major shoulder / rotator tear in witch she was a key factor in keeping me out of the operating room! And back to work in approx 6 months time! I am also a track coach for a university and have had many of my athletes use her for a verity of reasons and they all return to play in a timely fashion and rarely experience follow up problems relating to the original case. Susanne has a very energetic personality and is very easy to talk too and has always made me feel like family!

Anna Cabral

I went in not able to bend my back as it was soo stiff from a work injury and even after one treatment I couldn’t believe the difference! I completed my treatments and was able to bend further then before I was injured. The staff is very knowledgeable and professional and really took great care of me. I would recommend anyone that needs Physiotherapy to make an appointment with Prairie Trail Physiotherapy as you will not be disappointed!

Kirsten McDougall

I have seen many of the amazing physiotherapists at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy over the past few years, the most current being Desiree. She has done a wonderful job at helping me to recover from both an ankle and back injury. Her approach of both hands on treatments and an exercise plan has me seeing great improvements. Desiree is very knowledgeable, kind and informative. I highly recommend going to Prairie Trail, the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Guppy Garcea

I’ve been going to prairie trail physiotherapy for about 8 years now and the physiotherapist are very knowledgeable of there practice excellent customer service very well organized place

Treena Lynn

I made an appointment with Susanne for pain radiating down my arm. She quickly determined that my issue was in my shoulder and we began treatment, over several appointments and daily home exercises. As I progressed over many weeks, the exercises were modified. Prairie Trail uses a wonderful app called Embodia for logging the exercises. There is a detailed video demonstration of each exercise, which is super helpful for home use to ensure I am doing the exercises correctly! I could record my progress, ask any questions online, and communicate any concerns. Susanne would promptly answer questions, and could more easily prepare for my next appointment by looking at any notes I made. I am now pain-free and on to maintenance exercises to keep my arm strong. I highly recommend Prairie Trail Physiotherapy! Thanks, Susanne!

Courtney Cauthers

I saw Dan Girardin at Prairie Trail Physio for an issue with my hip. He was smart, knowledgeable and got right to the root of the problem. I noticed improvement within the first week with him, and was completely recovered within 6-8 weeks. I appreciated his friendly and open demeanour, and that I could come for a short check in every few weeks while completing the assigned exercises/stretching at home. I much prefer this to coming in more regularly and completing the exercises in the facility as this approach is a lot more flexible to my life. Dan is by far the best physiotherapist that I have ever used and I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know! Thanks so much Dan!

Leigh Finney

I have been seeing Susanne for a number of years and am so happy with the care I’ve received. She is dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable about her work!

Haley Elias

I have seen Dan Girardin for multiple injuries and he always does an amazing job! He is very knowledgable and gives great insight to how to recover progressively without further injury. He is always very helpful, friendly, and is able to answer any questions. I highly recommend his services and the clinic!

Shawna Rossoukh

I've been a client of Suzanne for the past ten years. Since I work out regularly, I often have issues with my neck, lower back & right shoulder. It doesn't take her long to fix me up & send me off back to the gym! (It's also quite convenient there's a mini gym in their facility with physio students to monitor your streaches & correct your moves. ) I love her for that, because I LOVE to work out!! She's absolutely brilliant, that's why I travel all the way from West end of the city to the south where she practices!! I will follow her to wherever she may relocate.

Sina Allegro-Sacco

Suzanne Robson is an extremely dedicated and committed physio therapist. She has helped me through my injuries and I am forever grateful for her caring and knowledgeable customer service. Her ability to get to the route of the problem is amazing. I not only value her as a professional but also her personnel commitment to perform the best job she can do to her patients. I highly recommend Suzanne as she is truly a wonderful physio therapist and is such an expert in dry needling! Cannot say enough about this awesome individual!

Marlene Giesbrecht

I have had very good experiences at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy with Susanne. She has helped me get back to activity several times after experiencing various sport-related injuries. She is a dedicated professional who has a passion for her profession. I really appreciate that she is an athlete herself who understands the injuries and the need for her clients to get back to being active. She continues to upgrade her credentials and apply this to her profession. I find that not only does she understand injuries, but she also explains the injury and prescribes exercises to correct the initial cause of the injury, weakness or imbalance. I have recommended her to several friends!!

Kristin Legault

My athletic kids and I have been seeing Suzanne for several years, for various injuries and dry needling. She is highly skilled, personable, and professional. She makes you feel comfortable with every part of the treatment, regardless of your age - even tries to make the ‘fun’ exercises enjoyable! She’s the only Physio I’ll see - I’ve recommended her to many of my friends and family. Can’t say enough positive things!

Ana Duggan

I had a wonderful physio experience with Susanne Robson. Over the course of approximately 6 weeks she gave me great treatments, both the physio and guided exercises as well as dry-needling, and resolved jaw and shoulder issues that had been plaguing me for months. Susanne is incredibly thorough, asks detailed questions and takes even more detailed notes, and gives you her full attention when being treated; I would recommend her to anyone.

Serge Delaquis

I’ve seen Dan Girardin for various issues throughout the last few years. He has always taken great care of me. His attention and assistance has help me get back on track every time.

Kelly Arnal

Sarah Bleichert is a very professional and knowledgeable Physiotherapist, who is dedicated to treating you and your concern or injury. She listens and is genuinely interested in helping make you feel better for the short and long term. She provides excellent treatment plans and exercises and is highly recommended.

Sue Fouasse

I’m so fortunate to have found Susanne Robson at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy. I’ve had a chronic condition nearing 6 years and have tried multiple therapies and haven’t had any relief!!! Enter Susanne’s attention to detail and active listening that has helped me tremendously!!! Her suggested exercises have really paid off. She is very open to modify any exercises if I find that I’m unable to do them. I’ve been living with different hand/thumb braces for 5.5 years but have not needed to wear them ANYMORE!! She has deducted that my issue is due to a nerve impingement in my neck that radiates into my thumb!! Now, if that is not success I don’t know what is. The exercises and dry-needling have been life changing. I love using an app that tracks my exercises and I’m able to leave a message to Susanne if an issue arises. Thanks for everything!! UPDATE: I had an appointment with Susanne this afternoon May 26th and she clearly is beyond amazing!!! I injured my back last week and after visiting my chiropractor last Thursday the pain was still present. I mentioned it to her and she quickly zeroed in on my issue and proceeded to treat me for this pain. After dry-needling, traction, stretching and stabilizing my lower back with tape - I left with such relief and glad she understood my pain. Thanks sooo much!!!! Please do not hesitate to see Susanne for any issues!!

Alexis Johnston

I have gone to see Susanne for two seperate issues and she surpassed all expectations each and every visit! The first time was for a seized upper back and neck. Susanne explained my injury to me and the treatment she was going to perform, and made me laugh as she spoke to Mr. Bones the model skeleton. She performed a variety of techniques, including my favourite treatment Dry Needling. I don't know how she does it but I was feeling better almost immediately but kept going back to her because I enjoy dry needling so much. I went back this year (2021) for knee pain and was so impressed that she remembered me and was welcomed back with so much enthusiasm! Susanne and the staff are delightful and the energy is so positive and energetic. I will continue going for the sake of enjoying dry needling (100x better than massage therapy!) and for the customer service. Thanks staff of Prairie Trail Physio!

Shari Dirks

Skip to main content Sign Out Google Review Susanne is the best physiotherapist that I have ever been to! No matter what injury Susanne has always been able to quickly assess what the problem is, and given me exercises, stretches, and dry needling to help my body heal. Susanne is also very personable, and makes a point to get to know you. I would recommend Susanne to anyone and everyone!!

Douglas Southam

Suzanne is very knowledgeable and is able to diagnose my injuries very quickly. I hurt myself at the gym and had trouble getting out of bed the next morning. I went to see Suzanne and she had me back at work the next day. The dry needling worked wonders relieving pain in my back. She gave me a series of exercises that I maintain to do and believe are responsible for keeping me from the same injury.

Shannon Tays

Susanne has been an amazing physiotherapist to almost all of my family and extended family in Winnipeg! She has treated our injuries with her expertise and always remains positive and energetic. We all have learned a lot from her knowledge and experience and she has treated all of our injuries successfully ! I have referred her to many friends and they have all been very happy with their treatments. Susanne is an excellent teacher.

Cheryl Podemski

After a bad back injury over a decade ago, I saw one physio after another with not a lot of improvement until I had the fortune to be directed to see Susanne R. I have been seeing her regularly ever since to help reduce chronic pain from muscles that are full of trigger points, for guidance in my exercise program, and for any other injury that crops up in the course of an active life. Do not know where I’d be without her expert help –she keeps me a going concern! Susanne is very skilled and is generous with her time; this is not a physio who walks out mid-sentence when time is up, she is committed to improving the condition of her patients and often spends time outside of clinic hours thinking about how to treat. She always explains clearly what she think may be the cause of whatever ails me and what she is doing to fix it. Over the years I have seen her, she has taken many courses to expand her skill set, and of the 5 different physios I’ve had dry needle me, she is by far the best. No one has ever come close to providing the relief I get from a visit with Susanne! I have sent many friends and acquaintances in her direction because I know she is a great physio. Yes, she often has athletic therapists and students teach exercises instead of doing this herself, but this is something I’ve seen at other clinics too and Susanne decides which exercises and she checks to make sure you that you have correct form, so I have no problem with this. I have no idea where one of the reviewers here got their comments from: Susanne is forever telling me “I’ll be right there, I have to wash my hands.” and the clinic has very obviously been taking extra precautions to keep staff and clients safe during the pandemic. You can tell from the banter that you can overhear (the ‘walls’ ARE curtains after all) that Susanne is friendly and respectful to everyone and I have always found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend.
