Active Living Physiotherapy Clinic

Negative experience: I got fatshamed by this person in the past, I had problems with fascia in my foot, It was maybe a year ago. Your clinic was at your house. Just saying that fatshaming is not cool

Fantastic experience: Started going here to see Dr. Gowri to help my recovery after my hand was run over by a semi-truck. She was very friendly and supportive throughout my sessions with her. She was especially wonderful at ecouraging me to push myself with my recovery without going overboard and impeding my healing. Remember, if you want the results you need to do the homework she gives you; the exercises she recommends work, you just need to keep it up and persistently practice them between sessions. As Gowri says, move it or lose it! And I can happily report I am able to move it without pain.

Fantastic experience: All I can say is WOW! I was in more pain than I have ever experienced before. My neck and shoulder were so bad I didn’t know what to do. It was a Sunday morning so I figured I would probably not be able to get in anywhere but I needed to try. I called and spoke to these sweet lady. She was actually supposed to be closed but she took me anyway as she could tell how desperate I was. She was very welcoming and was shocked at how little range of motion I had and how much pain I was in. She started to work and honestly the next day I came to see her and my pain level was a bit better but my range of motion after one visit was incredible. I still have lots of work to be done but honestly. She is a miracle worker. If you are in pain or just looking for new physio I HIGHLY recommend her

Fantastic experience: I can't think of a reason not to come see Gowri. Friendly, informative, and a very active listener, she did a better job of diagnosing what was wrong with me than my general practitioner!
