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.

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.

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: 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!

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.

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.

I would recommend Active Stride to anyone looking for a comfortable environment, excellent treatment, and a knowledgeable and kind physiotherapist.
