Your body wasn't designed to be sedentary for hours at a time. But there are more ideal positions for your neck, arms and legs that can reduce the chance of sustaining a repetitive strain injury. Whether you're using a sitting desk, standing desk or are getting used to working from home, the right setup can make all of the difference.

Darryl totally nailed my diagnosis as radiating pain from my back when doctors claimed it was bursitis. He set me on a course of core strengthening which got rid of the pain. My family has used the therapists at Family Physiotherapy many times and we are always extremely happy with their services. I highly recommend Family Physiotherapy and am so grateful for their personal attention. read less

I was super impressed from my initial assessment visit with her for physiotherapy. She was very thorough, highly knowledgeable/experienced, and could pinpoint exactly all the problems I was having after my car accident, right down to the little details. When I began my physiotherapy sessions with her, I *always* felt better after seeing her because she specifically targeted the painful areas without wasting time on other things. She has vastly helped improve the areas I was still experiencing pain in even after months of manual therapy at a different location.
Shefali is also just a great person overall - she is highly professional, precise, and efficient yet very warm and approachable and easy to talk to and build rapport with and really listens to her patients' concerns. I feel incredibly lucky that I found her as my physiotherapist. I cannot highly recommend her enough and, because of her, I have recommended Family Physiotherapy as a great clinic for other people looking for physiotherapists!
I also wanted to point out that the staff at reception are absolutely great, too! They are very nice and professional and helpful. The clinic has a great environment. I feel relaxed and taken care of whenever I come for my sessions. read less

I have seen other practitioners with some success, but Darryl took the time to get to the root of the problem, and now I can run without the fear of injury. He has a mix of expert knowledge of the body and how it should work as well as a very strong intuition that is hard to find. During each session he has a treatment plan, but is always assessing as he goes which enables him to follow what your body is telling him in terms of where the core issues might be. I also appreciate the fact that he has a very large base of home exercises to choose from and was able to choose the 1 or 2 most powerful exercises for me to do between each session, I was never overwhelmed with too many exercises to do at home. He is also an excellent teacher and so now that I am discharged I am aware of what to watch for in terms of my "bad habits" and know how to correct them. read less

They helped me a lot with shoulder pain, back pain, headaches etc. The specialists know what they are doing and put their heart and soul in the way they treat patients. Never a hiccup with scheduling, either. Overall, truly feels like FAMILY :-) read less
