    Would I recommend Coco for Physiotherapy? Absolutely, YES! I came to Coco as a recommendation from a trusted friend. I’m glad I did! Go to her if you want someone who will partner with you through your healing and cares about your progress! Here’s my top 4 reasons to work with Coco for your physiotherapy needs: 1. She’s knowledgeable and confident in the care she provides. 2. She teaches body mechanics and the purpose of exercises/treatments to help you understand the healing process and your body better. 3. She's professional, super personable! 4. Her treatment plans are not cookie cutter. She takes the times to learn about your movement patterns, lifestyle, habits and goals so that there is a greater chance for long term recovery. Thanks Coco!

    I've had an amazing experience. As someone newer to working out, I wanted to get a personal trainer to educate as well as train me. Mylene has been personable and educational giving me a great experience that I'll be able to take forward in my workout journey. I would highly recommend her to both beginners and advanced athletes (she has trained Olympic weightlifting athletes as well!) And Totum is a great environment. Beautiful facilities and a chill and supportive environment.

    I came to see a chiropractor because of a back injury. I saw Dr. Gavin and Dr. Waj, who were both great in helping me recover and get back into being active again. They listened to my concerns, corrected me on some of my exercise movements, took my fitness goals into consideration. They were knowledgeable, kind and made the sessions enjoyable. I left each session with learnings on how to take care of myself and what my body needs to live a healthy and active lifestyle. Would recommend this place to anyone!

    It's been a blessing to finally chance upon Gavin, who set me on a path to curing a long-time shoulder and neck pain. He is not only very knowledgeable, but also very compassionate, and that's what makes him an amazing healthcare practitioner. I think for our family he will always be our go-to person for any muscle or joint pain. We highly recommend him. Thank you, Gavin! It's great that Totum has him, and it is quite a nice place with a very warm and welcoming environment.

    I was referred to Dr Gavin for a specific back pain I’ve been having for some time. It’s been a great experience so far, Dr Gavin is extremely knowledgeable, understanding of the issue and in providing helpful and well laid out exercises. Appreciate all the work so far!

  • 5/5 John M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a minor neck/shoulder issue from a combination of poor posture as a result of having a desk job and exercise as a result of improper technique/form. I started seeing Dr. Gavin O’Handley as a good friend recommended him and I must say that after seeing many chiropractors as well as other health practitioners in various fields, I was very impressed with his integrative approach to assessing and treating me. Not only is Gavin very knowledgeable, personable and very good at explaining his reasoning behind what he does and what he prescribes in terms of exercises he also has a warm friendly energy to compliment making me comfortable with every session.

    I am immensely grateful to Gavin O'Handley for fixing my lower back pain. He was so thorough with his assessment and comprehensive with his treatment. The depth of his knowledge is impressive but so too is his ability to translate into lay terms what he was doing with his treatment and why. I experienced results almost immediately – honestly it felt like magic! – but Gavin is committed to ensuring long term health which is reflected in his providing a carefully prescribed exercise protocol to prevent recurrence of the injury. He also followed up with me by email to see how I was doing which further reflects his commitment. He was an absolute pleasure to work with – compassionate but tough, funny but professional, and most importantly he is incredibly effective. He models the very best of what chiropractic medicine should offer! For anyone living with pain, I highly recommend Gavin at Totum Life Science: King. You will also love the space at Totum and how easy it is to make/change appointments online.

    I injured my neck over a long weekend and out of all the places I contacted this place was able to slot me in for an appointment ASAP despite them being fully booked. I ended up seeing chiropractor Dr. Gavin O'Handley. I Really appreciate the timeliness. The professionalism displayed upon my arrival was amazing and overall it was a very pleasant, friendly, and convenient experience. Highly recommend.

    Had been struggling with back pain most of my life. Tried multiple trainers/physio therapists without success. Worked with Gavin, who quickly found a completely different root cause and put together a training plan for me. Great improvements since then and finally have a way to relief my pain for the future.

    Totum has been a great overall experience. I have the ongoing pleasure of working with Coco Ang as my Physiotherapist. I am thoroughly impressed with her expertise and professionalism. She has helped me work through several sports injuries and implementing preventative/rehabalitative treatment to ensure my longevity in sport. I would highly recommend Coco to anyone looking to improve their mobility and to keep their lifestyle pain free!

    I've been struggling with work-related back pain for quite some time, but thanks to Dr Gavin that's no longer the case., He really took the time to understand how my job was impacting my back and he provided personalized care (which I truly appreciate). Treatment sessions were effective, and I felt a noticeable improvement after each visit. Highly recommend my chiropractor to anyone seeking relief from back pain. Thank you for the excellent care!

    I'm really grateful to have found Dr. Gavin through the clinic at Totum! I've been working with him for the past few weeks to help with my lower back pain. He's extremely patient with all of my questions and I always appreciate the time he takes to explain everything thoroughly and simply. Can't recommend him enough!

    Coco is a great physiotherapist! She's very engaging which makes you less concerned and puts you at ease during sessions. This was very helpful for a first timer like myself. She recognizes the painful areas right away and gives you modified versions of the exercises. More so she explains the purpose of the exercise and reassures you of the recovery process. Coco rocks! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a physiotherapist!

  • 5/5 dinath M. 1 year ago on Google
    I am more than happy to have Dr. Gavin. With his friendly way of welcoming me, I knew I was in good hands. In his office, during the assessment, his body language showed me that he was a friendly person, and his gentle way of asking questions impressed me. I was so pleased when I opened my email the following day after my appointment with Dr. Gavin; he asked how I was feeling and if my arm was sore. That tells me that he is a Doctor dedicated to his profession. In this review, I am also pleased with Gonzalo that I will send my review Later, the whole team, including reception, welcomes people with a friendly faces.

    Dr. Gavin O'Handley knew what was wrong with my hip after the first visit. He has given me challenging exercises that have helped me progress faster in recovery more than I have in the last 10 years. He has given me hope in returning back to my normal exercises. He is patient and cares about what he does. Definitely recommend!

    I saw Victoria barely able to walk. Her and her colleagues all worked together to get me back on my feet in a week and a half! She was attentive, thorough and committed to my recovery. A full service, skilled group of professionals that can offer a dynamic and multidisciplinary approach to healing.

  • 5/5 Ozzy K. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    I can’t thank Rachel Zevy enough for helping rehabilitate my wrist after enduring months of pain and discomfort. Her knowledge of my injury and patience with me as I followed several various recommended exercises, taping and massages strengthened my arm/wrist and now I live my day to day pain free. Highly recommend her.

  • 5/5 Kiarash K. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Victoria is amazing! I’ve been doing physio with her for several weeks now and she definitely knows what she’s doing. Very knowledgeable and personable, really feel the imbalances in my body starting to recover and get stronger. Definitely recommend if you’ve been to a few physio’s before or if this is your first time!

  • 5/5 Idy L. 11 months ago on Google
    I was recommended by a family member to see Alex for physiotherapy. He is amazing! He goes through everything very thoroughly, shows me how certain exercises are done, sends me the exercises we do during our session because I have a memory of a fish. Great experience. 10/10. ◡̈

  • 5/5 Rob B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to Totum for physio for 8 months post knee surgery. My therapist, Coco Ang, is great and has tailored a post surgery recovery plan to match my many gains and plateaus. They are also very attentive in assisting me with any questions or issues I have in between appointments. I've also benefited from being able to leverage multiple services (Chiro - Dr. Waj Hoda; Massage) to assist in my recovery. The staff at Totum is fantastic, friendly, and very helpful. I would highly recommend Totum to anyone I can.

  • 5/5 Catherine L. 6 months ago on Google
    Victoria Lavinskas has been my physiotherapist for many years. As a long distance runner, I've had many injuries through the years and Victoria has always been able to get me back on my feet as well as help me prevent further injuries (I was most recently 5 years injury free). As a physician, I appreciate her knowledge of the biomechanics and her excellent diagnosis and treatment plan. I've referred my patients to her as well. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Totum is fantastic. I came here for the first time looking for a physiotherapist and Victoria has been the best. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and has been beyond helpful getting my injury healed. She always makes physio such a fun and positive experience. They also offer other resources like workshops which have been informative and create such a great sense of community. I can't recommend this place enough!

  • 5/5 Maria Luiza “Iza” C. 10 months ago on Google
    My physiotherapist is Alex Chow, and within a few weeks of working together I can feel that I am in the right direction to fully recover my lost mobility. The gym offers the equipment and the environment for focusing on my treatment.

  • 5/5 Queen L. 9 months ago on Google
    I found this client last year, I was referred by a friend who had been here with amazing results. So I gave it a try. Dr Wajid was my first point of contact as I didn’t know if I was suffering from muscle or bone pain. After just 1 sessions he found the problem to my lower back and hip stiffness. I had been to 3 chiropractors prior. They all just did their usual cracking techniques. Dr Wajid is extremely great at his job! He referred me to his co worker Gonzalo, who is probably one of the best physical massage therapist I’ve ever had. This clinic is professional and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and interested in helping.

  • 1/5 Scott 10 months ago on Google
    Gavin is a crook and only cares about money. Physio is a joke here and the client gets the short end of the stick. I had a sports injury, I had a pulled back and hamstring, so I had a movement assessment and was given healing techniques and mobility exercises. I asked Gavin to look at my posture and technique while lifting. I told him about my leg being a little quirky and he crudely told me I have to book a session... For a simple question and look at performing the exercise technique, how disgusting, having seen him twice and told I have to book a session for a question and look at technique. I WILL NOT be using the physiotherapy services here. What a poor treatment of people and ignorance. Stay away from this place if you require real rehabilitation. 0 Stars

  • 5/5 Jenna T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love my experience at Totum! Had never been to physio before and Victoria has made it an amazing experience for me. Appointments are always on-time and thorough, and their online platform makes it easy to schedule and reschedule appointments. Couldn't recommend it more!

  • 5/5 scorpio c. 9 months ago on Google
    Totum is an amazing hub of wellness - passionate practitioners, beautiful space and top-notch trainers and fitness classes! I've known and worked with the team at Totum for many years now, on both a personal and professional level. For my health, I've booked chiropractic services with Waj in previous years and currently am working with Victoria for physiotherapy on my hip. On a corporate level, I collaborate with Totum to support our office's wellness program and just organized a fun June Challenge for our team, bringing lunch and learns to our office led by Dr. Tamara Kung and Grace Lindsey and a kick-butt Fundamentals of Boxing class with Junmar De Oliveira at Totum's studio - which we loved so much, we have turned it into a monthly class for our staff. I would highly recommend Totum for your all around wellness needs!

  • 5/5 Zac W. 1 year ago on Google
    Referred here by a friend for physiotherapy. Victoria (and staff) are fantastic. Professional, caring, and personable. I am very happy with my sessions. Even after the first consultation appointment I felt much better about my situation. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Sabina G. 2 years ago on Google
    I HIGHLY recommend Victoria for any physio needs. I've been seeing her for an ankle sprain and she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything. Her approach feels both holistic and personalized to my needs. I actually look forward to my physio appointments :) Totum's location is also great and the reception staff is always nice.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 2 years ago on Google
    Queenly is a fantastic acupuncturist! Her treatments have reduced my migraines, stress and have improved my mobility and reduced the pain in my hips by over 70% improvement. I also really enjoy her flow/yoga classes. The fitness instructors for the classes are wonderful, especially Anne-Marie, Kim and Danielle. They correct your bad habits and help you improve your form and endurance. I have belonged to this club for over 4 years and really enjoy the positive benefits it's had in my life. They make you feel welcome! Thank you everyone at Totum! 👍☺️

  • 5/5 Katie D. 2 years ago on Google
    I am SO glad I found Victoria for physio at Totum! I was dealing with a frustrating shin split injury and Victoria was beyond helpful. She gave me personalized exercises, helped me with my running form and had fantastic 'return to run' training programs. Victoria listens carefully to your problems, is very flexible with your schedule and truly cares about her clients- I would HIGHLY recommend! Totum is a great studio - so clean, friendly staff and easily accessible!

  • 5/5 vanessa k. 2 years ago on Google
    So happy I found this gym along King Street. It's smaller than your average gym but the class selection and facilities are great! Very clean and spaced out.

  • 5/5 Shaney H. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm so happy I decided to try physio with Victoria! She is extremely knowledgeable, listens to my concerns, and takes the time to explain her approach.

  • 5/5 Ron S. 2 years ago on Google
    More than just a gym-really a health and wellness destination. The TCM therapist Queenly Lee brings a deep toolbox of treatment options for your ails. Through acupuncture and other therapies, Queenly really helped relieve very tense/tight areas in my upper and lower body and really helped my sleep patterns as well. Highly Highly recommend. (She also teaches yoga, pilates and deep stretch classes)

  • 5/5 Jacob M. 2 years ago on Google
    Totum is amazing. I use the gym and clinic there and absolutely love it! The gym is really clean and all the staff are very friendly! Always recommend it.

  • 5/5 Gurvir S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great and clean facility with first-rate staff. Victoria in particular is an excellent physiotherapist: she provides effective treatment, provides information in an easy-to-understand format, and is very communicative.

  • 5/5 Paige C. 2 years ago on Google
    AMAZING physio treatment here with Victoria: 12 months after I shattered my ankle while running she's got me back on track, plus she's coached me into better form than ever. She's a wizard.

  • 5/5 Quinn H. 1 year ago on Google
    Over the years I have enjoyed Totum King for personal workouts, classes, and most recently for physio and massage. As a gym, Totum provides excellent facilities, great change-rooms and a super accessible location. The classes are also always excellent! I greatly enjoyed my massages with Sophie recently, she has an excellent table-side manner, is a great conversationalist and a very effective masseuse. I am also very pleased with my experience with Victoria doing physio. We have developed great routines together for me to do at home and I have had great success treating my issues with dry-needling with her. Overall I would strongly recommend Totum to anyone looking for any of the above services!

  • 5/5 Charlotte C. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm currently completing a round of physio for a knee injury at this location. So far its going great! Victoria really takes the time to listen to concerns that may change on a week by week basis. She is also is wonderful at explaining exercises and the science behind why certain procedures and exercises help in treatment. The facility is always very clean and professional and has a good vibe. All staff are friendly and the communication between front desk and clients has been good in my experience. And last but not least, my knee is already on the road to recovery!

  • 5/5 Nancy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Victoria is a terrific physiotherapist She is thorough, and listens well. She explains things well so that it makes sense to you, and comes up with practical and workable recommendations. She has different modalities in her approach and treatment plan which is a great benefit. I’ve made great progress since we started working together!

  • 5/5 Maria P. 1 year ago on Google
    Victoria is the most knowledgeable physiotherapist / health care practitioner I've encountered. I started seeing her for a knee injury and am in awe of the quick progress. Not only does she have an impressive number of certificates and practical advice on various wellness areas, but she also has a true talent for turning science into simple logical explanations about how your body works and then easy to follow exercise program. Since I'm very busy and not much of a gym enthusiast, I would even say some of the exercises are rather movements but they miraculously worked. I would walk off a ledge if she tells me.

  • 5/5 Bianca L. 1 year ago on Google
    There are not enough words to describe the sheer gratitude and thanks I have for working with Coco. I had been seeing Coco leading up to leg surgery and post-op and my recovery felt like a miracle due to her support and expertise. She was able to hold hope for me during sessions when things felt extremely challenging and the exercises she gave me always pushed me towards increased strength and recovery. Coco is a true gem and professional to work with (always love our convos!!) and anyone who is able to work with her is in for a real treat. Thank you to the entire Totum Life Science team - I am forever grateful for my experience at your clinic.

  • 5/5 Raj J. 1 year ago on Google
    Totum is a really amazing facility. The decor is really cool and the equipment and facilities are awesome. The space is immaculate and clean and the staff super friendly. I am currently working with an awesome trainer there and have been getting regular massage treatments with an incredible therapist - I feel like a new person! I would strongly recommend anyone interested to check out Totum.

  • 5/5 camila t. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here on a whim and I’m so glad i did! Victoria L. is a magnificent physiotherapist. She listens to your needs and creates a plan that will work for you, your schedule and your lifestyle. Her and the other totum staff are all super welcoming and helpful. I loved coming here and cannot recommend it enough!!

  • 5/5 lauren v. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot begin to express how grateful I am since working with Alex Chow. He is an absolutely wonderful physiotherapist. He really listened to what I had to say, he was patient, and was extremely educational. I had been living with low back pain for about 3 years. Over the years I saw many different practitioners and while I saw some positive results, nothing seemed to be long-term and the pain would eventually creep up again. Alex uses many different modalities, hands on/off techniques when treating you but my favourite thing about working with him is that he spends a great deal of time working with you in the gym and educating you on different exercises that will help you. He then takes the time to follow up after each session, making him very accessible. I was amazed that after 3-5 treatments within him I was practically pain-free and it lasted over the weeks I didn't see him. Totum is also a wonderful facility. Its a large, clean, friendly space right on King Street W. With a larger gym space and many different practitioners, it has everything you need. I can’t recommend Alex and Totum enough people! Go check them out!

  • 5/5 Howie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Moving from Montreal to Toronto, I was concerned about finding a new physiotherapist. Lucky for me, I was referred to Victoria. Never had to look for another physiotherapist. She's excellent! Very attentive, asks all the right questions. My frozen shoulder is now back to normal, and perhaps stronger than before from all the exercises she gave me.

  • 5/5 Rachel m. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Prior to my first visit, I had never experienced chiropractic care and was uncertain about what to expect. However, my decision to consult Dr. Gavin at Totum was driven by my ongoing struggle with chronic lower back pain. During my initial appointment, Dr. Gavin took the time to address all of my questions and concerns, instantly putting me at ease. Over the past few weeks of treatment, I've seen a noticeable improvement in my pain. Dr. Gavin not only alleviated some of my pain but also provided me with a set of tailored exercises to perform at home, which have further contributed to my relief. Dr. Gavin's is very professional and highly knowledge. I recommend Totum and Dr. Gavin to anyone in search of a skilled chiropractor!

    Back in May, I sprained my rib and was experiencing quite severe pain. I called Totum right away to schedule an appointment (have already been going here for my massages + using the gym facility). Coco flexed her schedule to accommodate and see me day of. The first visit was incredibly insightful and helpful. I continued seeing Coco for a month or so regularly until I felt better - both for physio & acupuncture. Not only is she fantastic at her job and was able to speed up my recovery, but she is incredibly kind and patient. Coco would follow up after a session to see how I was feeling, would check in to ensure I was doing my at-home exercises, etc. It was a pleasure working with someone that cares so much about their patients!

    I’ve been going to Victoria Lavinskas for physiotherapy.. I followed her to Totum because she is so awesome. She really helped expedite my recovery from a frozen shoulder. Totum itself has a great atmosphere.. professional, welcoming and supportive. I would highly recommend Victoria!

    I've been working with Victoria on a really old hip injury, and it's been such a great experience so far! She is incredible at her job, and just a joy to work with. I highly recommend Totum for anyone looking to improve their health and wellbeing. A very clean, well taken care of space and really great staff.

    Over the last couple of weeks I've been working with Chiropractor Dr.Rachel Zevy on some knee and hip problems I've been experiencing lately. She has been more than helpful with giving me day to day tips on how to deal with pain and discomfort, great exercises, and massage techniques. Rachel always answers any questions I have and if it is out of her scope of practice she always makes an effort to connect with others to further help me. Overall the environment at Totum has always been very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Nigel S. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I have been having physiotherapy with Victoria Lavinskas over the last two months for treatment of severely dodgy knees. Thanks to Victoria, I am finally able to walk around without pain again. She is both highly knowledgeable and highly personable and has been committed to solving my current issues and future proofing me from further injury. Victoria has been great to work with and I highly recommend her and the staff at Totum.
