Negative experience: Was continuously laughed at any time I was in pain if I pushed myself to hard and would groan in pain just to be laughed at, extremely unprofessional people don’t recommend
That is awful and I hope this is a fake review and didn’t actually happen. We don’t have you as ever seeing us in our system, but if you reside in the Peterborough, Ontario, Canada area we would welcome you to schedule an appointment.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Active Living. My husband and I have been receiving care there after an accident. The service has been second to none. From admin staff covering insurance reports, the Physiotherapists and Massage Therapist. If you’ve had an injury this is the place to go. A compassionate group with a great team approach. Lois and Douglas

If it wasn't for everyone's constant support, amazing knowledge and superb skills, I would still be in a wheelchair full time. Now I am able to use a walker for a few hours a day. That number continues to increase with their hard work and dedication to my healing success.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Active Living for 4+ years and only have positive things to say. All the therapists work together to get clients the best of their collective training and experience. They create a relaxed and positive atmosphere, focusing on all aspects of health and well-being while still targeting points that need work. All covid protocols have been followed and I've never felt unsafe over the last few years. They offer more than physio therapy, but, massage therapy, group classes, and super gym facilities.
Have a great summer! I look forward to kicking your butt after your trip.
Fantastic experience: I had hurt my back 3 separate times over the past 5 months. After the third time I decided I should probably get a diagnosis and see if I could prevent this from continuing. It was quick and easy to get an appointment scheduled and see a physiotherapist. The staff at the front desk were very welcoming and friendly. The physiotherapist I saw was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The exercises that I was taught helped me recover really quickly and I have had no further issues since. I am really glad I booked this appointment and highly recommend this clinic.
