Upon the recommendation from my doctor, I attended 6 sessions at Strive for a sprained ankle (while playing volleyball). Amanda was caring and knew what she was dealing with. She gave me all the necessary instructions about the exercises I was supposed to do at home. During the sessions she skillfully massaged the swelling, applied heat treatment, acupuncture and other methods to accelerate the healing process. I feel much better now and will continue with the exercises over the next few months as instructed so that my ankle gets back its regular strength.

Amanda at Strive Physiotherapy was very helpful in listening to my injury and providing the proper advice and exercises to help me improve and strengthen that area. In the end I believe I finished stronger in my hip than I had been before the injury and I'm grateful for their help. I would definitely recommend!

Amanda was amazing & I have already recommended her to a friend who needs physiotherapy. I really liked the clinic overall & how smoothly everything ran (& even the interesting content on the waiting room tv). The online exercise program was a big plus. It was nice to have a clear record to refer to with videos showing the exercises. Thank you to Amanda for her great physiotherapy knowledge & her care, compassion & understanding. I can say I actually enjoyed my 12 week stint of physiotherapy & felt confident/encouraged during the process as we worked together to heal my injured knee.
