When I first arrived at Optimize I was in sad shape. I couldn't walk properly. My right knee had just been diagnosed with osteo arthritis severely. Left knee has it as well but not as bad. I was introduced to Nick and then the work started. He was very patient and encouraging. Demonstrated exactly what I had to do and was always by my side. I felt safe and comfortable. Month later, knees are much improved with hope that they will continue to get stronger. I am very grateful to Nick and Optimize. I have my life back. Thank you so much.

If you’re in need of physiotherapy, Optimize Physiotherapy is your place. They have a great facility, friendly staff, an easy to use booking system, and they apply effective physio techniques with a focus on one on one attention. Paul Fortin did a great job helping me recover from my separated shoulder injury. We established goals and he used movement based treatments to improve my range of motion and strength. His explanations and demonstrations of the elements of the treatments were great - very clear and easy to follow.

I’ve been going to Optimize for physio for almost a year and I’m very happy with the service I’ve received. Jenna my physiotherapist is amazing, she takes the time to listen to my concerns and challenges me to do new exercises which I really enjoy. Everyone from the office is amazing, from the ladies working at the front desk to the rest of the team. The atmosphere is great and I look forward to my visits every time.
