Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Active Stride Therapy:
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Comprehensive Recovery
Active Stride Therapy in Scarborough stands out as a multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic that integrates physiotherapy, massage therapy, and acupuncture to address diverse patient needs. The facility offers a wide spectrum of services, ranging from treatment for sports injuries and MVA rehabilitation to vestibular rehab, workplace injuries, and general wellness. By combining these modalities, the clinic provides a holistic environment where patients can receive coordinated care under one roof, addressing both the physical symptoms and the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.
Personalized Physiotherapy and Advanced Techniques
Patients consistently highlight the exceptional quality of care provided by Registered Physiotherapist Avin, noting his thoroughness, professionalism, and deep knowledge. Treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all; they begin with comprehensive one-on-one assessments, including detailed history taking, orthopedic testing, and range-of-motion evaluations. The therapeutic approach is multi-modal, utilizing advanced technologies such as laser therapy, ultrasound, and IFC, alongside manual treatments and specific exercise prescriptions. This combination has been described by patients as highly effective in reducing pain, restoring mobility, and accelerating healing for complex conditions like post-surgical recovery, tendonitis, and ligament injuries.
Dedicated Support for Athletes and Daily Life
A defining characteristic of Active Stride is its commitment to returning patients to their daily activities and sports. The staff is frequently praised for creating a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere where patients feel heard and educated about their conditions. Whether treating a university athlete aiming to return to competition or a senior seeking relief from chronic back pain, the team focuses on empowering patients with the knowledge and exercises needed for long-term health. Many reviews mention the genuine care extended by the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure comfort and successful outcomes, often recommending custom braces and orthotics to support recovery.
Professional Massage and Psychotherapy Services
Beyond physiotherapy, the clinic offers complementary services that enhance the overall healing experience. Massage therapy, led by skilled practitioners like Maria and Urva, is highly regarded for its ability to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. Additionally, the inclusion of professional psychotherapy services allows the clinic to address the mental and emotional aspects of recovery, offering counseling for stress, anxiety, and relationship issues. This multidisciplinary model ensures that patients receive comprehensive support, combining physical rehabilitation with mental well-being in a clean, welcoming, and professional environment.

Fantastic experience: I've had pain in my shoulder and neck and I found the treatment given and exercises prescribed very targeted and helpful and noticed a reduction in pain and increase in my range of motion. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Avin over the years for a couple different muscle related issues. I first came across him in 2022 when I was looking laser therapy, his treatment of my MCL, ACL and now shoulder issue have been multi-modal and successful in pain reduction and ultimately strengthening and healing the muscle. He really knows his stuff and is very pleasant and accommodating to deal with. I would definitely recommend him to any friends and family who are in need of physio services.

Fantastic experience: After initially meeting Avin in 2018 for knee rehabilitation, I knew that I could trust him and his team for my post-knee surgery care toward the end of 2025. Avin is sincere, thorough, professional, and very personable. The amount of genuine care he puts into his clients without the need for recognition is a prime example of what people in this line of work need more of.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Active Stride. From my very first appointment they really took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and personalize my treatment plan in a way that made me feel heard and seen. They don’t just focus on quick fixes, but helping me understand the root of my pain and how to prevent it from coming back.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for physio when I first injured my knee. Avin has been great in my rehabilitation process. I showed him the MRI and he then tailored a physio treatment regimen for me. Me and my mom also come here regularly for deep tissue massage. Maria is a great massage therapist. My mom is retired so it's really nice when she tells me how much better she feels after getting a massage from here. Great caring team.

Fantastic experience: I went to Avin for upper back pain. He diagnosed my problem and I felt immediate relief. He brought me back to normal in about a month. It felt like he really understood my injury and tracked my progress. He gave me excellent care and I’ll go back for any future injuries. A great Malvern business to support. Thanks Avin!

Fantastic experience: I recently received Physiotherapy from Mr. Sookmangal for my broken ankle. The service was professional, excellent, friendly and accommodating. I walked in there with a boot cast, tremendous pain and swelling. I was surprisingly amazed how quickly he had me out of the cast and walking. He was dedicated and compassionate with my recovery exercises. I am very grateful and highly recommend Active Stride Therapy with my his physiotherapist.
Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with issues with my ankles in part due to a condition affecting my joints. Avin has been truly great and worked with me in this unique scenario. I've made really good progress and I'm thankful to have found a physiotherapist that cares.
Fantastic experience: Our son dislocated his knee cap and required physio. We took him to see Avinnash, who assessed him to know the required treatment he needed. Not only did Avinnash treat our son and make his knee functionable again, but it was clear to see that he cared for our son and wanted him to get back to doing what he loves, which was playing basketball. Avinnash even recommended a brace for our son's use and went out of his way to get it for us. Once our son was cleared to play again, Avinnash even called us before our son's first game back again and right after it to ensure that he was okay and was able to play with the brace and the comfort of our son. He truly cared for his well-being and our son really liked going to him to get treatment. We will definitely be visiting Avinnash for any future needs. Thank you Avinnash for taking good care of our son and making his knee function again to play basketball!
Fantastic experience: Avin is an exceptional physiotherapist always showing the utmost professional integrity. I have been his patient for over 10 years, I have recommended countless people to Active Stride including my two sons. The treatment I received at the clinic for my shoulder and knees was very helpful allowing me the ability to use my knees and shoulder without the extreme pain I was feeling. Avin is very helpful giving me home exercises and following up with me. He is very friendly and a excellent physiotherapist.
Thank you for the kind words. We strive here to help all our clients achieve optimal recovery and enjoy assisting you in your rehab. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Active Stride Thearpy for multiple injuries/recoveries. Avin is my physiotherapist and is very knowledgeable , professional and personable. This clinic also provides massage therapy. I highly recommend both Avin and Urva for all your rehabilitation needs.
Fantastic experience: The most professional clinic I’ve ever been too. The physiotherapist is so great, all the staff are amazing and so helpful. Beautiful and clean clinic. I would recommend this clinic to all my family and friends. Thank you active stride for all your help with my Physio/massage needs! You guys are the best!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend ActiveStride enough! A good physiotherapist is essential to any recovery and Avan excelled at directing my recovery and meeting all my post-op goals. The staff at this physio practice was incredibly supportive throughout my recovery. They were always understanding and careful around my needs and reservations, without compromising an aggressive treatment plan, which was a very difficult balance to strike. Throughout the process, I was educated and informed of how and in which way each task would target the conditioning of my knee. I was left feeling empowered and in control during the long road to recovery. I feel I have life long skills to keep my knee healthy and strong thanks to Avan and ActiveStride Therapy!
Thank you Michelle for your kind words. Good rehab required hard work from yourself and you definitely proved that! We all enjoyed working with you and returning you back to your daily activities. Best wishes!
Fantastic experience: Great clinic!!! Avin is very accommodating and committed to providing treatment that will help whatever your issue is. He takes the necessary time to speak with you to assess what your concerns are. Have suffered with severe lower back, shoulder and hamstring pain and Avin has always provided treatments that have proven helpful. Would recommend a visit.
Positive experience: I came to Active Stride Therapy with a shoulder and neck injury. When I started I was very frustrated because I was in a lot of pain and couldn't even sleep. Avinnash who is the physiotherapist is very patient and very knowledgeable and was able to treat my injury with effective techniques. The environment is very clean and professional and he provide flexible timing to suit after work hours. My treatment was very effective and I will definitely use this clinic if I have to in the future. Thank you Avinnash!
Fantastic experience: 5/5 - Highly recommend. When it comes to Avin, a list of positives only come to mind; he is professional, friendly, accommodating, well trusted, very knowledgeable, and overall amazing. Not only does he make me feel welcomed, reassured, and safe in regards to my injuries, pains, and problems, but he also educates me. He teaches me why things occur, what happens, how to avoid it, and more. Him and his staff make the appointments as comfortable and progressive as possible. Everyone from my mom, boyfriend, his uncle and I have all been to Avin - because he’s so amazing!
Fantastic experience: Avin is amazing. I’ve been seeing him for many years and he’s always been able to get back into full health quickly so that I can be back in competing which i am very grateful for since I’m a varsity athlete at the university of Guelph. On my most recent injury, he used the laser machine to help me get healed so that I could be able to compete at a big swim meet that was at the end of June. He also gives amazing advice on how to deal with your pain while still training and how to handle it with the exercises he assigns you. I would 10/10 recommend you coming to see Avin if you’re dealing with any type of injury. He’s the best couldn’t ask for someone better
Fantastic experience: Avin has treated my daughter's ankle injury she sustained from competitive dance. Through a few manual manipulations, physio exercises and lazer treatments, my daughter's injuries healed amazingly fast and was able to compete in a matter of a few weeks. Avin is very thorough, friendly and an amazing therapist!
Positive experience: He is really nice man having patience and understanding of clients. He help me out with my work place injury. I am still going to him.
Fantastic experience: I've been living with vertigo for about a year and a half and I didn't get any answers as to treatment or help from anyone until I went to Active Stride Therapy. Avinnash Sookmangal is an amazing physiotherapist and was able to answer my questions and provide me with treatment. I would recommend Active Stride to anyone looking for a comfortable environment, excellent treatment, and a knowledgeable and kind physiotherapist.
Fantastic experience: Love this place....exceptional care, very professional. They take their time to assess and provide the right treatment needed with amazing results.
Fantastic experience: My visits have been exceptionally comfortable, with the professional care, convenient location and healing environment that I experienced at the Active Stride Therapy clinic. I have been able to get back to my regular activities, with the assurance that the clinic is available to meet my physiotherapy and massage health care needs.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing clinic! Great experience, Avin really helped me with my work place injury! I will be telling my friends & family to come here for sure!
