Our team of licensed physiotherapists employ the McKenzie Method (proven by its results) to create programs that speed up recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury.

Our work is based on practical, manageable exercises and lasting results. They have helped me to rehabilitate successfully from two neck fusions and restored the ability to take care of my children. Definitely a group you can trust. Over the past 3 years, we've compared our stats to 16.9 million assessments and 19,600 clinicians in over 4,200 clinics.

After knee replacement surgery I was discouraged until I made my first appointment with Rachelle. Her skill set and lovely encouraging.

Did you know low back pain (LBP) affects nearly 80% of adults at some time in their lives? And 60-75% of patients that have back pain once will experience recurring problems. The majority of back pain is mechanical. This means that there is a problem with the moving parts of the spine. The tissues affected can include discs, ligaments, muscles, nerves, or cartilage.
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disease that effects quality of life and daily function. It is caused by the inflammation, breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints. It can happen in any joint, but the most common forms are osteoarthritis in the knee and hips. The disease can worsen over time and joint pain can progressively get worse, but treatment can help reduce symptoms.
Our Orthopedic Sports Physiotherapists have post-graduate training and experience in sports rehabilitation. The rehabilitation principles applied with the athlete carry over to any person who has had a musculoskeletal injury. Taping or bracing options are similar whether it be a hockey player with a sprained knee or someone who twisted their knee while putting out the garbage.

Kari is an amazing therapist and provides individual attention even when conducting a group class. She is personable, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. I have attended other physio clinics in the past, but I would say she and her team are the best! I highly recommend this clinic! My spouse is a huge fan of the massage therapists there as well!
Thanks Kari for all that you do. You are making a difference.

Julian helped me heal from a calf strain. He definitely listens and customizes your exercises to your specific injury. He also is great at adapting your recovery program as you heal.

Very clean, professional, accommodating and organized spot. I had lots of choices of where to go in our area we live in but so happy I chose Bonavista Physical Therapy. I have mainly worked with Sarah who is very professional and informative. She finds a unique way to push me in the most gentle way possible! When I first came to see Sarah almost 10 months ago I was not able to walk due to an Achillies tear. During this time she has taken the steps and put a program together for me to not only be able to walk again but be able to walk with confidence. Thanks Sarah. - Herman

I had a great experience with Bonavista Physical Therapy. Merrylee took the time to do a thorough evaluation of my issues and to develop a starting benchmark against which we can compare my progress. She also explained the rationale behind her proposed program. I was very impressed and look forward to working with her to improve my mobility and reduce my chronic pain issues.

My family physician referred me to Bonavista Physical Therapy. My therapist was ( is ) Merrylee. I have nothing but praise for her knowledgeable and thorough approach to assessing my ailment and designing exercise programs to treat the problem. I can highly recommend her services.

I had a 9:15 appointment and the place just opens at 9:00. When I got to the clinic at the appointed time, I was told that the therapist John was too busy to see me. What could have happened in the 15 mins, that he couldn't see me at the appointed time. He just blew me off and I had to re-schedule! That is totally unacceptable and a total show of disrespect to the client. Even doctors just let you wait longer if they're running late! I never scheduled another session with John again. I seriously thought of going elsewhere for the rest of my sessions too.

Bonavista physio is an excellent facility. Staff are welcoming and very friendly. My experience with Rachelle was beyond my expectations. Very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. When she was assessing me she explained, in more detail than the Doctor did, what was wrong and how we would proceed with physio. I expected a long period of physiotherapy but I had many fewer visits than anticipated. She provided me with exercises to perform, which I performed as outlined and the results were outstanding. I now have a daily regiment to follow and will follow up with Richelle if I do
