Services
We feel physio shouldn't be an intimidating experience filled with "no pain no gain" attitudes. Rather, our approach is to be relaxed enough to make the experience enjoyable, but professional enough to still exceed your expectations. From our staff, to our facility, to our approach, we feel that the more enjoyable your experience is, the more successful your program will be.
Our staff take pride in helping our patients have success, but like to have a little fun while they do it. Relaxed enough to make your session enjoyable, but professional enough to help you get results. Lizz is a caring and passionate therapist with over 20 years experience treating children involving 10 years at the Stollery Children's Hospital, including Head Shape clinic, and 5 years of Early Intervention and Special School consulting.
Helping kids move and feel better is our passion. Not only do our staff love working with children, they're experienced in making "family centered care" fun!. We have extensive experience in treating torticollis and skull deformity. Both can be corrected most easily and effectively when treatment is initiated as early as possible.
Whether it's a sprain, strain, fracture, surgery, or over-use injury, sports injuries are unique from other injuries. Special understanding of not only the body but the sport and activity demands are required to maximize outcomes, and get you back playing as safely and quickly as possible.
Our staff have the expertise, the sports experience, and the passion to help you meet your goals, whether it's to get back in the game, stay moving and healthy, or perform better than ever.Healthy Athlete Screening is a full body testing session completed by licenced physiotherapists. They are for competitive athletes of any age who are currently without injury but looking for baseline testing or to identify weak points in need of improvement.

Liz provided my baby with good care - a thorough assessment to best determine the treatment plan, clear support with learning how to do the exercises, the opportunity to practice there, and handouts outlining what we covered. She also made sure to check if I had questions so I’d be clear with the exercises.
With implementing the changes we were able to see results by the time we did the follow up visit. Liz was also good about giving future direction so that we can be on top of things if/when symptoms return with growth spurts etc.
This was helpful for empowering me to know what to expect and

I went to see Lizz regarding a bulging disc in my back and was so impressed by her personal care and attention. She took her time, was professional and gave me hope my situation would resolve. With a good Physiotherapy plan and dedication to the prescribed exercises, I am pain free and back to my normal activities. I’ve since gone back for a painful tennis elbow condition and I am confident that Lizz will problem solve and come up with excellent ideas and exercises that will resolve my discomfort. I highly recommend Summerside Physiotherapy!

I booked an appointment days before in their online system and 30 minutes before my scheduled time they called me to tell me the physio tech I booked doesn’t look at babies and that “I was lucky there was someone else there”. I had to wait an additional hour with a fussy baby as I live 40 minutes from the south side. I don’t understand why they didn’t call me way ahead of time to fix the issue.
The receptionists were complaining that the phone wouldn’t stop ringing (and they didn’t answer the whole time I was in the waiting room) in front of patients. They were also gossiping to

I took my 4 month old to see Justin because she started having a flat head to one side. He is beyond patient and great with not only my baby but also myself as the mom. He spent time teaching me exercises to do with her and I never felt rushed, he was open to all my questions. I also appreciated that he went above and beyond to do exercises that promoted my baby to work on her developmental milestones. Over the 3 months that I've seen Justin, my daughter has greatly improved and I would recommend this clinic and Justin to everyone I know. The clinic itself is very clean, the front desk staff are

I saw Chris after having major surgery on my spine. To be honest I was wary of visiting a physiotherapist because I had been misdiagnosed for three years (by other therapists), so when my surgeon suggested I see a physiotherapist to assist in my recover I wasn't too keen. I told my surgeon I would see someone he recommended and he suggested I visit Summerside Physiotherapy. I saw Chris a few months after surgery and then again a year after surgery so he could check my progress. I am glad I saw him because his exercises and advice was helpful.

Three years ago, I couldn’t climb to the top of our toboggan hill. I had undiagnosed tendonitis in the knee and weakened hip/glute muscles from pregnancy. I literally would stand at the bottom and watch my kids play and wish I could run to the top and be the kind of mom I wanted to be.
Fast forward three years. I worked hard with daily deliberate physio therapy with Jeff @summersidephysio (that guy is amazing!) AND I JUST BIKED OVER 300KM on the Icefields Parkway! I feel accomplished and strong. I know I can push myself to do hard things. I have done what I literally thought was impossible.

Very happy with my progress here. I came here 3 months ago with pain in my ankles and tendons from a combination of years of running and weak hip flexor muscles. Matt is a professional but is very personable, funny and kind. There were times I didn't think the pain would ever go away but the exercises he prescribed me were a God-send. Thanks to Matt & the Summerside team, I can run again with no pain!

Chris Holt is an excellent physiotherapist. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. He is amazing and really cares about his patients and takes the time to work with you to ensure you understand the progression to a full recovery. He has assisted me through two surgeries and would highly recommend Chris. I am appreciative and grateful of Chris' expertise. Also, the front staff at the clinic are friendly and welcoming.
