Fantastic experience: On a scale of 1-10 my experience with Mindful Movement Physiotherapy is and was an 11! Besides being a top notch physiotherapist having superior knowledge and expertise in her field, she is an all encompassing caregiver. She gave recommendations of other avenues of help to further my healing in the body-mind- spirit connection. She cares. She is very smart, very organized, intuitive and very encouraging, while at the same time disclosing the reality if one doesn’t work at an issue with consistent dedication, it may lead to not so pleasant alternate care.

Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate that I found Polina and have been able to work with her. She has assisted me with both Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy, and general physiotherapy re: a shoulder injury. I was at the point in my injury where it felt like I would never get back to the “old me”. Polina took the time to listen to my concerns, review my medical imaging, and work with me to regain mobility in my shoulder. I think what sets Polina apart from other medical professionals, is that she genuinely cares for her clients and puts her whole effort into assisting them to reach a full recovery. She is willing to brainstorm and pivot her approach if something isn’t working. She never rushes her clients and she takes time to listen to all concerns/information. I also appreciate that she is very aware of benefits coverage, and never pushes clients to attend more in-person sessions than what is required.

Fantastic experience: My physio sessions with Polina were vital to my PP recovery. She is a wonderful therapist and helped me to not only heal my body but also my spirit. Polina has a very warm, calming, and empathetic energy. I had to bring my baby boy with me for our first appointment, he fell asleep on my belly during my exam and slept through it all until it was time to go home, Polina and I were talking nonstop but I was so relaxed and comfortable (he was not a great sleeper so this definitely felt miraculous to me). Polina is a great listener and always made me feel heard, cared for and understood, always validating my concerns and providing solutions. If I ever have to get pelvic floor therapy again, theres noone else I would go to for this service other than Polina. Thank you, Polina, you are the best!

Fantastic experience: Paulina is incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I left my sessions with her feeling empowered and feeling like I understood my body much better.

I experienced very good results working with her and I now recommend her services to everyone I know.

I think pelvic floor should be offered by Ohip because it’s truly therapeutic and supported not only My labour but my recovery.

She came recommended to me by a few friends and I’m glad I listened .

Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity to be treated by Polina, of Mindful Movement Physiotherapy. I have suffered through pubic pain through 3 pregnancies, along with other ailments which prevented me from enjoying day to day life. I only went to a few appointments for pelvic physio during my fourth pregnancy and Polina helped eliminate the pain. Polina was always on time and worked around my work schedule to provide me with a variety of physical therapy modalities to reduce my pain and strengthen my muscles. She always had a variety of exercises for me to do at home for all issues.

Fantastic experience: Polina is a saving grace! I have fibromyalgia and had been suffering terrible piriformis syndrome and hip flexor pain. Polina not only assisted me but after the first time she treated me I didn’t have to see her for another treatment until several months later when it began acting up again. I saw her in Nov 2020 to retreat me and haven’t had an issue with it since. I can also say she’s a stellar pelvic floor physio and yoga instructor. She’s also the type of physio who can handle a patient with PTSD in a compassionate and professional matter. Every treatment I’ve received from Polina left feeling safe, hear, educated and on the mend. I send everyone I know her way because she is THAT GOOD!

Fantastic experience: I started here last fall, and it has been such a great experience! I’ve been seen for my back as well as pelvic floor physio, and I’m really happy about the progress I’ve made! Polina is so professional and knowledgeable, we’re very lucky to have her in our area!

I would highly recommend her !

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of knowing Polina and both a yoga teacher and as a physiotherapist. She is amazing and super professional yet also warm.

You would not regret working with her!

Fantastic experience: Polina is absolutely fantastic! Very professional and super knowledgeable. She made me feel very comfortable and helped me pinpoint issues I had no idea I had, and we had them fixed in no time. I saw her during my fourth pregnancy, and have had fantastic recovery after having my fourth baby, and I know I have Polina to thank for that. I can tell she takes serious passion in what she does, she cares deeply for her clients and she takes time to answer any questions you may have. I truly could not recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Polina's amazing! She was able to help me with a lot of pain I was having post partum months after having my son. At the time I was feeling helpless and that the pain would prevent us from growing our little family more. Happy and excited to say we are expecting baby #2 in a few weeks :) I can't thank her enough! She is super nice and friendly and really listens to your concerns and questions, highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Polina Provad is an incredible physiotherapist in the Borden and Alliston area. I had pain in my knees from running, but after a few sessions of acupuncture, ultrasound, massage, and an exercise regimen on my own time, I was able to recover and continue increasing my running distance. She’s an incredibly focused and knowledgeable physiotherapist, who is fine-tuned to a patient’s needs and goals. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of attending Paulie’s yoga classes and she is a very thoughtful and mindful instructor. She is excellent at explaining and demonstrating modifications to poses as required to meet her clients individual needs. She is very receptive to feedback and will take that to build a class around it. Paulie is also an incredible physiotherapist. I have had a long standing issue post ACL reconstruction 5 years ago. She listened to my concerns and we were able to develop a treatment plan that included hands-on therapy, stretching and muscle strengthening. I have seen a significant improvement in my mobility since working with her.
