I was referred to SOS Physiotherapy on Belmont when I was experiencing a flare up of knee pain. I was assessed by Andrew and given a 12 week treatment plan. He have me helpful advice and was patient , professional and knowledgeable. I am happy to say that with his help, I was able to go from barely walking to resuming all my activities. He also gave me an exercise program to maintain at home. Thank you Andrew. From the moment I walked in, you can tell this is a welcoming place and the staff are genuinely happy and have a positive attitude. I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy.
I had a very positive experience with Andrew. I saw him for about 8 weeks and during that time he was consistently professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Andrew took the time to listen to my concerns and developed a personalized treatment plan to address my specific needs. He was always patient and thorough in explaining each exercise and technique he used. I felt comfortable and well-cared for under his guidance. Overall, I highly recommend Andrew as a physiotherapist to anyone seeking quality care.
My physiotherapist was Andrew Woelk. In the last twelve years I counted on Andrew to adjust my body and to bring it back to balance. He was professional, knowledgeable, skillful, and provided highest quality of care. I moved out of Waterloo Region last year and it was hard to find another therapist like Andrew. I definitely recommend Andrew and SOS Physiotherapy.

MICHAEL MAJOR, PT, BSC, MSC (PT) - STRIVE PHYSIOTHERAPY & PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
Dealing with frozen shoulders, I have been to several physiotherapists in the region. Mike Major is by far the best physiotherapist I've had. He is fully knowledgeable and can help you understand your condition and how to help treat it. I finally feel like I understand what is going on with my shoulders and how to proactively participate in my rehabilitation. Mike is hands on and does not use assistants and or machines to perform treatments on his clients. This clinic will not book necessary appointments just so that they can grab more money from you. Overall, very professional, experienced and honest physiotherapy clinic. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike Major and his clinic to anyone serious about a successful rehabilitation physiotherapy program.
I arrived with a perpetually sore and stiff back, hamstrings that had felt tight for decades, and occasional hip and glute pain. Mike listened, asked insightful question after insightful question, and devised a plan. I did the work and left Strive Physiotherapy with improved mobility and pain free. Even better, I left with the tools and knowledge required to maintain my results and make further improvements on my own. I plan to schedule a couple of sessions per year to ensure I'm maintaining my mobility and to discover new opportunities to improve. Whenever someone grumbles about pain or stiffness, I mention Mike and the Strive Physiotherapy team.
I went to see Mike because I had over trained which was causing back pain. During the assessment Mike listened to my past history, understood my training goals for this year and developed a plan to help fix the injury. Over the following weeks he gradually increased the stretches and strength exercises, before I knew it I had learnt how to take better care of myself and continue to improve my mobility. Thank you Mike! I will be recommending Strive Physiotherapy & Performance to my friends and family.

MARLI PINNAU CLINE, PT - A BODY IN MOTION REVIEWS
Highly recommend. Honestly, can't recommend enough! If you are injured, have pain, need pelvic floor rehabilitation, this is the place to go. This clinic has healed several family members. Marli is amazing. I call her my angel on earth. The only silver lining of breaking my leg (badly) was knowing Marli and A Body In Motion would help me heal.
Marli helped me so much after my car accident. My neck and back pain are completely gone! She is so kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgable. The clinic energy is so positive and uplifting, the exercises were great and all the staff were very wonderful! I reccommend A Body In Motion to everyone I know!
Fabulous place. The physios and all staff are positive, professional and very fun. Conversation is great and helps to keep you focused o. The treatment. I have tried a few different physiotherapy clinics in my life but have never found one that is the equal to A Body in Motion.
