I
have
been
very
happy
with
the
quality
of
care
at
Athlete’s
Care
King
and
Yonge.
Victoria
DiSabatino
is
an
excellent
physiotherapist
and
I
recommend
an
appointment
with
her.
I
am
in
my
late
30s
and
I
had
experienced
an
acute
exacerbation
of
a
chronic
back
pain
that
hadn’t
become
manageable
despite
past
treatments
in
the
past
2-3
years.
I
did
physiotherapy
with
Victoria
from
Feb
to
May
2023
and
have
now
transitioned
to
checking
in
when
needed.
While
past
treatments
before
visiting
Victoria
at
Athlete’s
Care
had
each
helped
me
improve,
two
things
helped
this
time
to
make
recovery
more
sustainable:
physiotherapy
exercises
under
supervision
to
ensure
they
are
done
correctly
and
advanced
in
intensity
appropriately,
and
meds
to
reduce
pain
and
inflammation
recommended
by
my
family
physician.
I
strongly
recommend
both,
and
others
as
needed
like
managing
sleep
or
stress.
I
liked
how
Victoria’s
approach
is
responsive
to
one’s
needs
and
specific
condition.
She’s
also
very
good
in
showing
and
describing
what
imbalances
there
are
in
the
body
and
what
can
help.
We
started
with
a
hands-on
approach
with
manual
therapy,
medical
acupuncture,
and
exercises
under
supervision.
Even
though
I
could
not
sit
or
bend
easily,
we
started
gently
and
advanced
to
training
with
resistance
bands,
weights,
and
balance
exercises.
I
was
functional
in
6
weeks,
and
we
could
reduce
pain
meds
to
1-2
times
a
week.
Over
the
course
of
2
more
months,
we
managed
to
reduce
the
frequency
of
visits
to
once
a
month
and
develop
a
long-term
plan
for
needed
exercises
and
what
to
do
if
pain
recurred.
Unlike
the
past
2-3
years,
in
the
past
two
months
I
have
been
able
to
manage
to
prevent
or
exit
a
pain
state
without
the
need
to
refer
to
a
clinic.
Access
to
the
clinic
is
easy
with
indoor
access
to
King
subway
station
through
escalators.
Elevators
are
not
working
due
to
construction
at
the
station
(at
least
in
May
2023),
but
there
is
ramp
access
from
in
front
of
the
building
(outdoor
access).
The
clinic
has
a
small
gym
space
with
equipment
to
do
exercises.
The
admin
staff
are
friendly
and
very
helpful.
Direct
billing
with
(only)
one
insurance
provider
can
be
arranged
by
the
staff.
