"The wonderful staff of Aspire Physiotherapy have been extremely helpful through every step of my recovery"
I was a pedestrian hit by a car and sustained many injuries as well as a concussion. The wonderful staff of Aspire Physiotherapy have been extremely helpful through every step of my recovery and have gone above and beyond to try and improve my quality of life. Manas is an excellent physiotherapist because he always takes the time explains what the problem is and tries different treatments. He suggested I try acupuncture with Chang and Massage with Kim and it was helpful and they are both very personable. Rae makes it easy to fit appointments in around my busy schedule. I would recommend Aspire Physiotherapy to everyone I know.

"Aspire Physiotherapy will defiantly be my go to place from now on!"
Within 3 session Manas and Aman's combination of physiotherapy and acupuncture techniques had resolved the pain I was having in my lower back. I had been to various physiotherapy clinics before where it would take weeks or even months to resolve back pain issues I was having. Aspire Physiotherapy will defiantly be my go to place from now on! These guys know their stuff!

"I would highly recommend the team at Aspire Physiotherapy. "
I’ve had recurring bouts of acute lower back pain over the past 2.5 years. I’ve never had physiotherapy before, however on the recommendation of my family doctor I decided to give it a try. I was treated by Manas (physiotherapy) and Chang (acupuncture). They were both knowledgeable and experienced and provided an effective treatment program. I could barely walk or stand for two minutes when I started the program. After my previous bout of lower back pain about I.5 years ago, it took over 5 months to regain full mobility. This time around, with physiotherapy/acupuncture I’m almost back to normal after only 5 weeks. I would highly recommend the team at Aspire Physiotherapy. Conveniently located, great staff, great service.
