    Chris is such a great physio who can really help to solve your health issues and care about his patients. I went to visit Chris in Feb. due to a huge shoulder pain I had. I was suffering so much and couldn't sleep during the nights for a week. I booked my 1st appointment with Chris in mid Feb. He has asked my shoulder situation and checked very thoroughly. He identified my issues accurately and explained my shoulder problem very well so I could fully understand. The treatments and shoulder exercises he assigned to me were really helping. I was getting much better in two weeks already. With the help of the exercises and regular check in with him, I have fully recovered when I am writing this review. I am very impressed with Chris's positive attitude, friendly personality and caring nature. He also makes effective suggestions for improving my body situation for both short term and longer term. I highly recommend him if you go to see a physio.

    I have seen many physiotherapists in the last few years for shoulder/neck/back issues, but no one could make it better. However, after seeing Anthony for the past two months, I have more mobility and less pain than ever and I am hopeful that it will get even better over time. The reception is very pleasant to converse with as well.

    I first came to Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centre after my doctor diagnosed me with a torn meniscus. My knee had been hurting me for weeks until it was difficult to even walk. I was paired with Chris Landa and on our first meeting he let me know that my initial diagnoses was incorrect, offered his opinion on what was wrong, and carefully talked me through the steps we would take to get my knee pain-free. The treatment took longer than I was led to believe it would by my doctor but I quickly saw that Chris was correct in his assessment - I was making weekly progress and learning how to take care of my body longterm. It is now only three and a half months later and I am fully able to return to my usual activities and workout again without pain. I would absolutely recommend.

    This place is great. Friendly front desk staff and the facility is nice. I have been seeing Christina for over a month now for hip issues and just general strengthening of the lower body. I have seen many physiotherapists over the past 10 years due to sport injuries and I have to say Christina has by far been the best. She is very knowledgeable, professional and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. Aside from that, she is always all smiles and is just a positive energy person. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a good therapist to go to her.

    I was treated by Miriam for a flare up of an old back injury. She helped me deal with the pain and adjusted my exercise plan to better maintain strength and flexibility. I've also received care by Kenneth. He helped me reduce tension on my back caused by repetitive movements from working in healthcare. They are both very professional and kind and I feel very comfortable receiving treatment at this clinic.

    I have been going here for awhile now, receiving treatment for my neck and shoulder pain. I have booked multiple appointments for massages, physio and chiro for a few months now. I would love to give many thanks to Anil, Geisa, and Matt all who have treated and helped me out with my discomfort. As well as the amazing front desk receptionists who have always been attentive and caring!!

    I had a major ACL tear in my knee and was searching for a good sports physiotherapist. I was very fortunate to find Chris Landa. He has been excellent with my rehab. He was patient with my speed mentally and took great care in providing exercises and treatments tailored just for me. He does not provide treatments and exercises but explains why we do certain things and lays out a perfect plan. He kept motivating me to push through my injury and I have already started playing badminton (slowly) without even having to go for a surgery

    I'm quite reserved about sharing reviews in public but I had to make an exception here. I actively play soccer and I sustained a hamstring tear during an intense game. I was recommended physiotherapy by my sports medicine doctor and I found this place on Google maps. There is no shortage of physio care centers but my physiotherapist - Chris Landa - is an absolutely rare find. I was initially hesitant about physiotherapy and was also concerned about the expense. However, Chris made all the difference to a speedy recovery and ensured the right guidance to prevent future injuries. He's an exemplary professional, highly knowledgeable, very friendly and understanding, super fun to work with, and goes way beyond providing basic care. He spent a great deal of time understanding the nature of my problem, analyzing it from every possible angle, educating me on the subject, addressing my concerns, providing a simple yet effective program for full recovery, and having just the adequate amount of follow-ups to help me save money/insurance coverage as well. I'm now back on the field with renewed confidence and I'm surprised by how much my overall fitness has improved with the guidance I received from Chris. I'm convinced how awesome physiotherapy can be - if you're with the right provider. I would pro-actively recommend Chris Landa as a physiotherapist to anyone who might be dealing with any kind of physical pain - and not exclusively to sports-related injuries. A sincere thanks to Chris, and the rest of the amazing staff that helped along the way.

    The service that I received at Athlete's Care Centre was awesome. My physiotherapist, Anthony Qiang, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. I had been dealing with muscle weakness and joint pain for 4 years, but after a few sessions, the pain is almost gone. Anthony perfectly diagnosed the muscle groups associated with weakness and then prescribed the appropriate stretches and strengthening exercises that extremely improved my problem. Thanks to him, now I can do the activities that I stopped doing 4 years ago like playing Basketball. I highly recommend Anthony.

  • 5/5 Gabriel P. 1 year ago on Google
    I was seen by Chris Landa (Physiotherapy Resident) at the Athlete's Care Sports location at Yonge and Sheppard. Being my first time seeking physiotherapy, i was looking for a place that I could learn more about the origin and nature of the pains I have on my knee. Chris went through every possibility with me while explaining in a very detailed manner along the way. We were able to narrow down what the issue was and implemented an efficient course of action to help me moving forward. Chris is the most attentive, thorough, knowledgeable, and kind person that I had the pleasure to be treated by. I would beyond recommend Chris to anyone needing physiotherapy.

  • 5/5 Afshin J. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been doing physiotherapy here for over a year now, and I can say wholeheartedly- it was the best decision I made. I was first introduced to Christina(physiotherapist) after tearing my acl and lateral meniscus. She helped me tremendously in preparing for my eventual surgery. Without her, I wouldn't have had the huge jump-start in progress post-surgery. I would have loved to continue my rehab with her post-surgery, but due to conflicting schedules on my part, I could not. I was then introduced to Chris(physiotherapist) post-surgery, and it is nothing short of amazing. I've been working with him for, a bit over 10 months now, and will continue to work with him in the future. He's very passionate, and very patient. He understands the person he's working with, and knows when to push you(even when you don't think you can do so yourself) 5 stars doesn't do this clinic any justice. I love being here.

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. My daughter has been working with a physiotherapist, Chris Landa who is very professional and attentive. His friendly nature made my daughter very comfortable and she looks forward to going every week. His advise, support and programs have been extremely helpful and would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family if they ever require physiotherapy.

  • 5/5 Paul J. 11 months ago on Google
    I went to this centre for Physio with Chris Landa after I sprained my ankle. I would highly recommend him as he was super helpful throughout the whole process and was able to explain any questions I had. Definitely streamlined the rehab process!

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been seeing Chris (physiotherapist) for rehab post wrist surgery (TFCC repair). He has been wonderful, he took the time to speak with me about my goals in returning to physical activity, created a treatment program and spoke with me about reasonable time-lines so I new what to expect. At each appointment he explains the mechanics behind the treatment. I am very happy with my recovery and I know a big part is the quality therapy I have received.

  • 5/5 Ben P. 1 year ago on Google
    Tazbin is a very nice, polite, and caring person. She listened to everything I said about my ailments. She gave me some exercises for stretching, and strengthening my back, that helped me fairly quickly. I would definitely see her again. I would highly recommend her.

  • 5/5 David 1 year ago on Google
    Christina is amazing! She helped me overcome a hamstring injury that had been bothering me for a long time. Her tailored and well-planned programs really worked, and I was able to make a full recovery. She's my go-to for treatment and exercises, and I always feel like I'm in good hands. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Vijul 1 year ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of seeing Chris, a skilled physiotherapist, for my foot pain, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Chris was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and tailored his treatment plan to suit my needs. He went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, informed, and motivated throughout my treatment. I highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking top-quality physiotherapy care.

  • 5/5 Malvika R. 1 year ago on Google
    I came to Athlete’s Care after a year of on/off back and leg pain. I was referred to Chris for physiotherapy from a friend of mine. Chris is not only attentive and detailed in his approach, he is incredibly informed, he listened to me and course corrected as needed based on my symptoms. After a year of pain, I am finally able to get back to the gym and do normal things I had been avoiding for so long!

  • 5/5 Kin Long C. 1 year ago on Google
    Chris is the best! I had a neck injury from snowboarding and Chris has taken care of my physio treatment and rehab. He provided clear explanations and reasonable expectations on recovery timeline and targets. Chris is always caring, patient and explained everything professionally. He also provided excellent follow up and I look forward to going back to my sports activities without any trouble with my neck. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Meir B. 1 year ago on Google
    All aspects worked extremely well in this Athlete care venue. My therapist, Christina, was just great. She treated my lower back pain with much expertise as well as in a caring and organized manner. The office also runs smoothly with phones answered promptly, billing handled efficiently.

  • 4/5 M H. 11 months ago on Google
    Good customer service, excellent reminders, flexibility in rescheduling the appointment. Very happy with Chris Landa who is very knowledgeable and friendly physiotherapist. He diagnosed the root cause of the pain I had in my elbow, knee and wrist and provided me with very good exercises to be pain free. He followed up consistently to ensure the issues are improving. Very caring and responsible physiotherapist.

He provided clear explanations and reasonable expectations on recovery timeline and targets. Chris is caring, patient and explained everything professionally. I highly recommend him (Chris Landa)

  • 5/5 fernando s. 1 year ago on Google
    Chris is the best physio I have ever had. He was helpful in all aspects of my recovery journey physically and emotionally. With his treatment exercises, I was able to get back to playing the game of soccer that I love. He is thorough, calming and always has a smile on his face. He truly cares about his patients and this is evident in every single session with him. I highly recommend Chris and the awesome staff at Athletes Care.

  • 5/5 Freedom F. 2 years ago on Google
    Anthony was my physio at Athlete’s Care. He helped me regain mobility in my lower back after an injury caused by heavy lifting. From the beginning Anthony was able to identify all my pain points and designed a set of exercises for me as treatment. Due to his dedication and commitment towards helping me, I saw amazing outcome only after a few visits. Anthony is excellent in communication, knowledgeable, attentive and personable, but most important of all professional and effective. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy. Thank you to Athlete’s Care for the great service.

  • 5/5 MJ 2 years ago on Google
    Anthony is my physiotherapist. I have been working with him on my work injuries (I.e. wrists, hands) for ~4 months now and they have gotten so much better. I used to have frequent random pain on my wrist area but now it rarely happens. With the strength training and conditioning, my wrist/ hands became stronger. Anthony is very knowledgeable and very thorough. I strongly recommend him!

  • 5/5 Bob J. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been seeing Anthony for about 8 weeks now. I have been seeing substantial changes in my mobility and flexibility. Before seeing Anthony I couldn’t even squat or deadlift properly due to my poor range of motion. Today I am able to utilize this new mobility and flexibility to optimally perform my workouts.

  • 5/5 alex z. 3 years ago on Google
    Anthony was quick to assess and provide me with the right approach to my golfers elbow. I had done the shock wave treatment before and it really helped accelerate the healing, to let me get back to the strength training I was doing. But best of all was the very accommodating availability.

  • 5/5 Tal L. 2 years ago on Google
    Christina is very personable and professional. She really helped me with my leg injury. I highly recommend her as a physiotherapist!

  • 5/5 Zoe 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and treatment for physio, highly recommend! I had gone in with pain in my leg and Anthony was able to determine what caused the issue and give me a treatment/exercise plan to prevent it from returning. Will definitely be coming back if I need physio treatment in the future.

  • 5/5 HT 2 years ago on Google
    All the good reviews about Christina the physiotherapist are well deserved. She is attentive, patient, caring, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, punctual.

  • 5/5 Jenny H. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time going to a physiotherapist and I am so happy to have found such a great team at the Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres. Chris Landa is my physio, he is amazing - very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very friendly! I got calf muscle injury when playing tennis, after 2 treatments with Chris, I felt much better. Chris also gave me exercise instructions, which can improve my balance and strengthen leg muscles, and prevent injuries in future. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist.

  • 5/5 krishna r. 2 years ago on Google
    I have had pain in my lower back and knee for sometime now and based on my friend's suggestion I visited Athlete's Care. Chris Landa was my physiotherapist. He was really great at identifying the root cause and took time to educated me about the issue and the treatment. Chris gave personalized exercise plan to help with my pain. He would take regular feedback and make amends that would suit be better. During the sessions he did not restrict to treating only the back and knee, he helped me with other issues related to body posture and body strengthening. Due to covid restrictions, I could not go for a in person session for few weeks but he was very considerate and took extra efforts to come up with alternative plans to continue the treatment and know my progress. After spending so much time with Chris, I would definitely recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and everything he suggested worked well for me. He equipped me to self manage the pain. He has a long term view towards the treatment, which I appreciate.

    Christ Landa - Physiotherapist He is a phenomenal physiotherapist. I am a GP and would happily have all my patients see this professional. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient-centred. He has excellent communication skills and knows how to plan an effective session. Physiotec, the app that the clinic uses is useful and user-friendly. Scheduling appointments is hassle-free. I cannot thank Chris enough for the guidance and care that he provided. See you on the track, buddy!

  • 5/5 S. T. 1 year ago on Google
    I've never been to a physio before until I pulled my muscle. Did a quick search and thank goodness I found Athlete's Care, Christina provided great treatment and the exercises were easy to follow and not overly complicated. Very professional clinic and good location.

  • 5/5 Henry N. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife and I have a great experience with Christina Petrucci, who is an excellent Physiotherapist and Acupuncture Provider, very professional, patient and caring. She helps us tremendously with the sessions and also providing the follow ups and exercises for joints and muscles pains. She is highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Steve K. 1 year ago on Google
    Over the past 2 years I have experienced a couple of sport related injuries that required Physiotherapy to treat. On both occasions I was treated by Chris Landa (Physiotherapist) at Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Center. Chris was excellent to work with. He was extremely professional and with both injuries he took the time to really understand the background (how I injured myself, type of pain experienced, goals to recovery etc...) and then set out a comprehensive plan to get me back to a healthy place where I could resume physical activity. Chris was very knowledgeable and set up an exercise program that gradually built up with intensity as my healing started to progress. Chris has a very positive approach and was very accommodating with his availability to treat me. I would highly recommend Chris as an excellent Physiotherapist that has the know how to get you back to a healthy and more productive you.

  • 5/5 Methylene S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have seen multiple individuals who practice physio care, searching for someone who understands my multiple health issues and will approach the care in a holistic manner. I can FINALLY say I have found it here with Chris Landa his ability to listen and understand, and his knowledge of physio care, we connected right away. He made me feel safe and completely comfortable sharing all my health complexities. I will continue going to him for my treatment, which not only involves a direct physical approach but he also discusses the mind- body connection, which helped to understand my own body to a deeper level. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for relief from pain, sciatica, headaches/migraines, and mobility issues. I obviously have multiple things that needed work on and it can be incredibly frustrating not finding the right person to help you with your health.

  • 5/5 Tommy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Anil is an excellent physiotherapist who listened to my history of issues attentively and provided a treatment plan for each of them. Always professional and willing to listen to concerns and answer questions, and doing what I was comfortable with. He identified the sources of my issues and worked to fix muscle imbalances or weaknesses that caused or exacerbated those issues. I felt noticeable improvement within the first few sessions, which encouraged me to continue with the treatments and exercises. Now, issues with my knee, foot, shoulder, and hand that have persisted for years are resolved and I am able to resume physical activities like basketball pain free. Definitely would recommend Anil and Athlete's Care to anyone experiencing injuries or persistent issues that may limit your daily life. He has been a huge help and I only wish I had gone sooner.

  • 5/5 Areeza H. 1 year ago on Google
    Review written on behalf of my mother who is a client of Chris Landa: I have been a client of Chris Landa for a few months now. Seeing him for knee and hip pain. Chris is a very conscientious, knowledgeable PT. His patience and knowledge never ceases to amaze me. No matter what pain I complain of when I see him he has a solution, either manual therapy or an exercise to teach me. He is always gentle and mindful of keeping my dignity during treatments. I have had many PT over the years and I can say with confidence Chris is by far the best. I am finally able to get back to enjoying my life with a lot less pain. Chris is not only a great therapist for his patients but a wonderful mentor to his PT students too. I definitely rate Chris a 5 star and would recommend any of my family or friends to him. Thank you for all that you do Chris.

  • 5/5 Danny 1 year ago on Google
    Chris is a great physiotherapist who really took the time to understand the nature of my shoulder and elbow injuries and how they affected my day-to-day activities. He gave me a comprehensive recovery and prevention program along with advice on how to progress on my own. After a few weeks I already feel significant improvements. Chris is very friendly, attentive and always ready to address any concerns you may have about your recovery process. I used to be hesitant to seek out PT for my sports injuries but Chris has definitely changed my mind. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

  • 5/5 Yousef G. 1 year ago on Google
    Athlete’s Care is the best sports medicine clinic I’ve been to. I injured my hamstring during a game and was worried about how it would impact my pre-season training for semi-pro soccer - Chris, my Physiotherapist from Athlete’s Care, provided me with the best rehab program that helped me get back to playing in no time. The treatment was fantastic as well as the exercises I was instructed to do in order to get back to full intensity. Exceeded my expectations! Chris is very helpful, caring and genuine. He will make sure you meet your goals no matter the magnitude! Highly, highly recommended.

    I had some tendinitis in my Achilles from running and went to see Chris. He made a plan that worked for me and fixed my ankle within 3 visits. He gave me exercises and stretches to do between visits that worked for my schedule. He was also very accommodating with evening appointments available. Chris is very kind and pleasant to work with. I’d recommend Chris and Athlete’s Care to anyone.

    After I tore my ACL I came here for physio appointments with Chris Landa and he was amazing. Not only was he easy to talk to but very supportive and knowledgeable. He helped me throughout my rehab journey by educating me on how to take care of myself and kept things honest. Highly recommend! The front desk staff were also very friendly and nice.

    Excellent experience! Went in with knee pain. Mariam was an amazing listener and asked all the right questions. She targeted the area and provided exercises and encouragement, which resulted in a huge improvement with my knee. Should the need arise, I will choose this centre and Mariam again!

  • 5/5 Eric B. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I was recommended to Athletes Care and Anil by a friend. It has been a great experience. I went to Anil for physio after my shoulder surgery. He is very attentive to my specific injury and recovery timelines. In fact, Anil takes a total healthcare approach while working to rehabilitate a specific injury. Overall, I feel better - and my shoulder feels pretty good too!

    I've been visiting Samir Esmail at Athletes Care for the past 4 months for generally stiff back and legs. He has been phenomenal, and probably the massage I've received. He gets the pressure just right everytime and his massages do make me feel a lot better during my workouts I cannot recommend Samir at Athletes Care enough.
