BL McKee has said:

“Experienced, compassionate, thorough, encouraging, caring, welcoming, and on and on. Ghaith and Courtney have gone above and beyond. Forty years of spine & hip issues had me in acute breath-robbing pain (to the point that I could no longer even turn over in bed without crying out). After six physio visits with Ghaith and sticking to the very simple – but so worth it exercises he showed me to do at home – I started to mend.

He encouraged me to try just one Chiropractic appointment with Courtney to see if she could help me improve my mobility. I had been long advised by other doctors never to see a Chiropractor and had a preconceived idea that the twisting and wrenching would only make things worse. Courtney was amazing. Her gentle, soothing nature calmed me, she walked me through everything she was going to do, listened and acted when any move or action caused me pain; there were no snaps, crackles or pops – just gentle massage-like motions, my fears were put to rest. “

Last week I went to the Orleans Physiotherapy clinic. It was a clean and professional place to cure my surged neck. Because after the surgery we need to give some physioterpy cures to solve our remained problems. I really loved this place and recommended it to your readers.

Physio on Kent Street! For me, Joseph was a lifesaver. Within nine months, I underwent two knee replacements. He healed my knees so that I could walk around and do stairs. I was impressed that it just took one visit. In one visit, he provided stretching, TENS, ice, and massage.

Apollo physical therapy center on St.Laurent has the best services, staff, and quality care around. A spotless, quiet and calm establishment indeed. I’ve Spent quality time and money there, so it’s worth reaching out to. At first, I was a bit worried because I thought the prices seemed high, but the service was terrific, and I truly made significant improvements with each appointment. I have already started to recommend them to my friends, and I sure will continue to refer them to everyone I know.

I had lower back and hip pain due to Sciatica. I could barely move. So, I started to apply ice and hot packs, but it didn’t work. One of my friends recommended Orleans Physical Therapy, and I have to confess that it was a miracle! They gave me extension and flexion back exercises plus other special ones, which reduced pressure on the nerves. Thank you for sharing this great article and also for giving valid and trustable information.

I remember when my 90-year-old grandfather fell down the basement stairs, and he couldn’t move for both the spring and summer. Eventually, with the help of a physiotherapist, he could start walking with the help of a walker. At the end of the summer, he could finally get back on his feet without the help of his walker and by just using his old cane. So, to anyone who might assume that physical therapy is a waste of time and money, I want to say that if it made my 90-year-old grandpa, who was developing bedsores, walk again. It can help you as well.

My mom has suffered from neck Arthritis for years. It causes not only so much neck and shoulder pain but also bad headaches too. She was so doubtful about Physiotherapy, but after just one appointment in Orlean’s clinic, she changed her mind. The staff are friendly and also knowledgeable. You can fully trust them and have my word; you’ll see improvement in just a few sessions.

I was referred to Orleans Physiotherapy by a friend due to an shoulder injury, she has been seeing Clint for years! I had a consultation and subsequent treatments with Clint Dulude, who was knowledgeable, thorough and understanding. 
I’ve received nothing but wonderful care from the front desk staff. I’ve had the pleasure of being treated by Celine, Clint, and Clifton and they’ve all brought years of knowledge and professional experience to my individual injury.
my first appointment was originally booked for a few days after my call…
I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a physiotherapist!
