OUR TESTIMONIALS
Many people has benefitted by our awesome therapy services and give their most valuable complement about us that why we are best and how our services will help your physical health.
Jay at Spirit Physio was amazing with my crazy 10 year old athlete. She had pulled a muscle in her foot and was in constant pain until we started seeing Jay. He took the time she needed (first appointment was over an hour!) to ensure she was treated properly each time we went. He made her feel comfortable, and had her laughing with his jokes in no time. By our third visit they were like old friends. She’s now back skating, and running the field like a champ! Thanks Jay! You’re amazing! I recommend Spirit 110%!

After months of tests and pain my doctor was unable to determine what was wrong with my hip. I had my first treatment here this morning and was able to walk much better after half an hour of treatment. I find them very caring and I was put at ease immediately. I highly recommend Spirit of Physiotherapy !!!
