To improve accessibility of high quality physiotherapy to marginalized communities and people of colour through empowering BIPOC to pursue careers in health care.

Our expanding practice provides ample opportunities for further education and career advancement.
Alexandra was the physiotherapist I worked with & I am honestly not sure if I would have gained as much of mobility back as quickly as I did had it not been for her expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked! I have suffered from upper back tension, neck pain, and knee issues for years due to both weight training and bad studying posture.

Physiotherapy isn't normally someone's first thought when they have a headache - most of the time, the common reaction is to take some form of pain-relieving medication.

Great service!
Bryan Hague has been crucial in my road to recovery. I have been to various physiotherapist clinics and Bryan Hague has been the best by far! His personalized approach has helped me recover from my shoulder surgery. It has not been an easy road, but with Bryan's help I have been able to get my range of motion back along with shoulder strength and stability.
On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best), Bryan Hague easily gets a 10 out of 10 score.

It's a very warm and welcoming environment, the front staff are super friendly, and everyone there is very open and accepting of all.
I've been seeing Raphaële for some TMJ complications. She's incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet and helpful with treatment as well as giving me plenty of tips to reduce any future issues. An overall wonderful experience there and I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking physio!

Raphaële is my physiotherapist here and she is the physio I’ve ever had, truly fantastic!!! I had a pretty bad neck injury that was aggravated by working from home, I had very little movement, was in sooo much pain and couldn’t do my normal weight training routine.
Raphaële reduced my pain significantly after one session and I got my full movement back in about 3-4 sessions. I honestly felt better after each session! She really listened to me, gave me at home solutions that worked for me and is a joy to work with!
I recently move and am now actually closer to other locations, but I travel

When I needed a Physiotherapist, I asked amongst my friends, and one of them told me that THEIR own PT told them "Yeah, the people at Foundation know their stuff."
That encouraged me to call and book an assessment. And it's been a steady march to less pain and more mobility since then.
I can heartily recommend Raphaële Lemire in particular. You'd be in good hands with her.
I will also say that the other staff are terrific, as well; they knew my name very quickly, so I'm greeted when I come in for an appointment.

Due to a car accident, I have been doing physio with Mackenzie Holden who has been fantastic. She has helped me reduce the problems I have been facing and taught me more about how the body works.
She's so good that I did bike fit / physio with her too. Sure, you can buy a new bike to get faster or you can go to Mackenzie who will make your ride more comfortable AND you go faster

Mackenzie is my physiotherapist and she's done a great job helping me to improve steadily each week. She's also very creative and custom-designed some great exercises to simulate stand up paddling to help me get back on the water as soon as possible. On top of that, she's friendly and makes the time pass quickly. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Foundation for a little over a month, for physio for a back injury. I've been working with Mackenzie. She is awesome! She brings a deep knowledge, and an intuitive approach to recovery. I trust her work completely. Also, I have to mention that the front staff are excellent as well. On my walk to my session a week or so ago, I was caught in a flash rain storm, and was soaked through. As soon as they saw the state I was in, they immediately got me a towel, a t-shirt/shorts to change into, and offered to dry my clothes in their facilities. Amazing!

I really appreciate the time coming here around October 2019 getting advice and support from the staff. They have a great source of energy and very helpful to try and get me over this hurdle. I still do physiotherapy with them now even when I had the online virtual chat from home due to Covid-19 the advice was still fantastic. I would highly recommend them they will guide you and be a great source of inspiration to you.

I have had a leg injury since I was young, which has been bothering me more as I get older, but was unsure about physiotherapy as it didn't seem to do much when I first sustained the injury years ago. But upon the advice of doctor, I decided to give it a try as my leg continues to bother me more and more as time passes.
I have to admit, I wasn't… expecting results right away, so I was shocked how much better I feel after one appointment with Raj. I have to say, in the last few days since seeing him, my leg has bothered me less than any time over the last five years.
Raj is super friendly

I had called to book an appointment for massage with my regular RMT and found out that she was no longer here. Was referred to Abby who had just joined the team and she was fantastic. You know it's a great massage when you start to doze off. It was so good I booked an appointment in a couple of weeks!

I have suffered from upper back tension, neck pain, and knee issues for years due to both weigh training and bad studying posture. I have tried various exercises and stretches, creams/muscle relaxants, masseuses, cupping, heating/cooling, and other physiotherapists. I was beginning to lose hope until I started seeing Alex Chow. After 3 sessions he… had released my upper back tension. When he did not see progress at the rate he wanted to for my neck, he was honest enough to tell me my neck might require a chiropractor’s help and referred me to someone else. I am trusting my knee to

By far one of the smoothest experiences when dealing with this type of clinic. Calm, considerate and caring are the three words that pop to mind given the circumstances surrounding my visit both before AND after. Bedside manner is a BIG DEAL when you are dealing with medical professionals and, without a doubt, Alex Chow goes beyond the reg. concern… and treats you with kind, gentle hands. He was a sincere pleasure to be in front of and is a true gem at this spot. Heads up, the front desk was also incredible sweet and soft spoken - a rare breath of fresh air at a clinic in Toronto.

I guess I'm the first reviewer for Foundation Physio :) I've been seeing one of the physios here for a while now and she is fantastic! She's very good at identifying the root problem and coming up with a list of helpful exercises to solve the issue. And she makes sure to email you the exercises so you'll have them on file yourself. The clinic has also been super accommodating in terms of fitting me in and is always flexible when I have to reschedule. The receptionists are really friendly. Overall a great clinic!

I was referred to this clinic by one of my trainers who noticed I was limping. After a consultation with Matt, my knee injury, which was also a back injury, was identified and treated. After 6-8 weeks I was literally healed. Pain and discomfort was a thing of the past.
A year later, my shoulder began hurting. After complaining to my husband for a few days he suggested I return to this clinic to receive treatment. Once again, I received amazing care by Matt along with the RMT Katie who worked together to restore mobility, function and alleviate pain in my shoulder.
The office staff is exceptional

I got into an accident this past summer and due to the great reviews, I ended up going to Foundation Physio. It was the best decision as the service was exceptional, the staff were very friendly and helpful and most importantly I saw great improvement within 5 months. I highly recommend going to this clinic if you have bodily pains and injuries.

I went to Foundation Physiotherapy for over 10 appointments late last year due to some back issues/ pain. My therapist Kaitlin was really friendly and professional, and always seemed to greet her other clients with a smile. I opted for 30 minute sessions, but if my session went over the time limit, she never rushed me out of the room, and only waited until the treatment was over. For the last 5 session or so, Kaitlin and Matt both treated me at the same time because my back wasn't recovering as fast, and I thought that may be rare for a clinic. I felt like they pay special attention to their
