    Moe is the best personal trainer I have ever met. Polite and friendly and detailed.

    I first started going to SHAPE fourteen years ago for an IT band injury. I couldn't run for more than 5 minutes without crippling pain. After a single treatment of ART therapy, I went for a 30 minute run with no trouble. Within weeks I was at 100 percent. A busy schedule and a move to the 905 made me try other places for subsequent issues. They mainly hooked me up to machines while they treated other patients. I ended up returning to SHAPE last year for a number of injuries that no one else could solve. Kevin Villafana has fixed virtually all of them, and we're on track to resolving the few that remain. Kevin is simply the best physio I've ever had, and I've tried many. No machines. No pretense. Just incredibly intelligent, dedicated, and hands-on. He even set me up with a complete workout routine for strengthening and maintenance. I honestly believe that if anyone can put you on the road to recovery, Kevin can. I simply can't sing the praises of this place enough.

    I am a big fan of Shape. The staff here really know what they are doing - I trust Sender and his team completely. They really are on the leading edge of physical fitness and mobility. I have been working out and receiving treatments at Shape for about a year and I am in the best "shape" of my life and playing the best sports of my life, even as I am getting older.

    Sender and his team at Shape have enabled me to recover from a horrific car accident. His methodology, deep understanding of human biomechanics, his meticulously high standards in bringing in the best of the best team, have enabled me to walk again. I would be in a wheelchair were it not for Sender and his healing staff. Shout out to Stefan, Excel, Kevin, Cynthia, Valerie - I am hopeful to get back to golf and skiing in the future. God bless you Sender.

    For as long as I can remember I have had an issue with my weak knees. It wasn’t until I injured one of them that I finally decided to see a Physio to help me with my issues. Kevin Villafana was actually amazing! After a couple of sessions with him in conjunction with the exercise regime he created for me I can honestly say that both of my knees are feeling stronger than ever - 10/10 would recommend!

    Kevin is a highly skilled and intuitive physiotherapist. He keeps up on his research, is an athlete himself, and knows what it's like to have an injury. He explains concepts thoroughly and listens well. I've got a degenerative disc disease and SI osteoarthritis that are feeling real relief for the first time in five years. He's not for the faint of heart so seek someone else if you need a light touch!

    Kevin has been helping me with a very sore lower back and a rotator cuff issue. You only need one session to know that Kevin is meticulous in the diagnosis and development of a treatment plan but is honest and open to changing and adapting the approach with the goal of getting you out faster (as compared to other clinics who keep you coming back for the same thing every week just to keep draining your wallet/insurance money). Thanks to Kevin, my back is now pain free and I’ve gone from being hunched over every time I get up from a chair to resuming a normal active life including the gym and running. Perhaps most importantly, he has also equipped me with the knowledge to self-correct in case I feel any of the previous issues creeping back again. I would recommend him to anybody who is seeking physio treatment!

    Being in pain at any time is not good, during Covid-lockdown even worse With Shape Toronto, my regular physio closed offering only virtual consultations, I was at a loss. Admittedly I was a little sceptical but so... glad I went ahead and booked with Kevin Villafana of Shape. He is so knowledgeable and professional that he has successfully been able to transfer her skills to offer as much relief online as I would likely have felt in person. The session ran smoothly, he was able to demonstrate everything I needed to do and watched me carefully go through the exercises/stretches and give feed back throughout the session. My issue was shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues. Thanks Kevin, always a star. I will never hesitate again to go virtual.

    I have been a client of Kevin Villafana for the past couple of years and he has helped me manage a number of chronic and acute injuries from years of sports. He is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and passionate health care professionals I have had the pleasure of dealing with.

    I have now had 2 full hip replacements in the past 2 years as of today. Kevin, my physiotherapist was and still is the key to my astonishing recovery. His knowledge and experience has helped me overcome and improve on my physical well being, relief of pain that would have otherwise probably continued much longer. I highly recommend his services as well as other services Shape has to offer. I have added personal training to my regimen and continue to get stronger. My family has joined as well and feel better for it.

    I highly recommend SHAPE! By far the best chiropractic, physio, massage therapists and personal training in the Greater Toronto area. I love the boutique style and 1:1 service. Highly recommend the therapy treatments for any injury or post surgery. My father in law had knee replacement therapy and went to SHAPE for rehab...I believe his recovery was much faster and his range of motion much greater because of it (and as a result he is able to run after my 6 year old son pain free! :) Thank you SHAPE for always going above and beyond!

    Kevin Villafana is the best physio I have ever had over the past 20 years of competitive sports! I injured my knee playing hockey and couldn’t get a good rhythm of progress for two years til Kevin started treating it. He confidently offered personal and professional advice that had immediate impact and after a few months I was back on the ice gradually. I credit him for saving my knee/hockey and of course he says it was all me as I had to commit to doing the work and making it happen. Don’t hesitate and call or book an appointment now! It will change your life!

    I have been coming to Shape Health and Wellness for over 5 years. Sender Deutsch is amazing. He cares so much for his patients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else

    Kevin has been amazing before I got my hip surgery and in my recovery. He’s also helped me with a shoulder problem. I would highly recommend him.

  • 5/5 Nicole F. 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I have seen Sender twice for some back and foot pain. So far, the experience has been positive. Sender is super patient, informative, prompt and ensures that he answers all questions you may have. Cynthiya at the front desk is very personable and greets you with a smile which is a refreshing thing to see! So far, so good!

    I’ve been going to Shape for a couple of years before COVID. They helped me to recover from various body aches and injuries. Kevin is unique; his physio knowledge is vast. He doesn’t just help you; he explains what he’s doing so that patients can use the knowledge to continue keeping themselves healthy and pain free. I can’t praise him enough. Thank you Shape!! Charlene

    Great service and care. The service at the desk is great, and the physio used absolute care, and explained why and how to recover it.

    If I could give Kevin Villafana 10 stars I would! He is without a doubt the very best physiotherapist in Toronto. I was hit by a car as a pedestrian while out of the country and seriously injured my back and knee. Kevin worked with me several times a week for over a year and a half helping me recover. After the accident doctors told me I might have on-going back pain for the rest of my life but since I worked with Kevin I have made a full 100% recovery. Kevin went above and beyond to make sure I got the very best care. He maximized every appointment to ensure he could not only relieve my pain in the moment but also teach me how to strengthen my weak areas so that I could stay pain free in the future. He educated me every step of the way so that I knew how to self-care and prevent the pain from flaring up again. I suffer from mental health issues which were exacerbated from the accident. Kevin supported me emotionally as well a physically so that I could stay strong enough to complete my treatment. Without his encouragement and care I wouldn’t have been able to manage all of the work that was required to make a full recovery. Kevin worked hand in hand with my massage therapist to help guide her as to the best ways to treat me. He also worked with my personal trainer so that my trainer knew what exercises to help me with so I could strengthen key areas of the body to prevent future injury. I can’t recommend Kevin highly enough! He is the only person I trust when it comes to physiotherapy. You won’t be disappointed choosing Kevin to help you improve your physical health as he is the most dedicated health care professional I have ever worked with. Thank you Kevin for saving me from a lifetime of pain!
