East York Massage and Physiotherapy Studio

Angela is an absolute miracle worker, I limped in to see her because my hip was so sore I could barely move my feet. After 45 minutes of her working on my hip and legs I walked out like a new woman! Thank you Angela for all that you do, you are an amazing physiotherapist!!

I have been going to East York Massage and Physiotherapy Studio for many years now and have been treated by Erin, Tracy and Fanaye. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's easy to make appointments and they are always quick to respond. I probably wouldn't be able to move my neck without this crew!

his thank you is well overdue. On October 5, 2020, I was on my morning jog when I fell and dislocated my right shoulder joint, resulting in what is referred to as a rotator cuff injury. I was taken to hospital emergency department where under general anaesthesia the joint was put back into place. To relieve some of the pain associated with the injury I was treated with acupuncture for 2 or 3 sessions after which the acupuncturist suggested that I get an ultrasound image of my injured shoulder and elbow. She also suggested that I begin physiotherapy since the pain had subsided. The ultrasound revealed severe damage to some of the tendons associated with lifting my arm. My daughter recommended East York Physiotherapy, where she had been treated by Fanaye. Angela was assigned as my therapist. Angela turned out to be far more than just a competent physiotherapist. She displayed an extra ordinary analytical ability in recognizing the extent of the injury. After several sessions she realized that the improvement in the movement of my shoulder was less than she expected. She told me that she suspected that I not only had tendon damage, but my axillary nerve was also damaged. She suggested that I ask my family doctor for a referral to a neurologist to examine the nerves via a procedure called an EMG. Her diagnosis was spot on. The fact that I could have sustained nerve damage during the dislocation was never even mentioned by the so called orthopedic surgeon, who did the follow up examinations in the weeks following my operation to put the joint back into place. In addition to displaying great analytical skills, Angela is a very caring and encouraging physiotherapist when it comes urging a patient to do their exercises so that they can recover as quickly as possible. Over the five months that I was treated by Angela, I was able to recover over 60% of the range of motion of the shoulder joint I has lost from the injury. I have recovered almost all of my range of motion and am gradually regaining the lost strength with the addition of prolotherapy treatments. However these treatments did not begin until after I had been treated by Angela. So I firmly believe that Angela's physiotherapy treatments and exercises set the stage for a much quicker recovery via the prolotherapy treatments. In fact both the orthopedic surgeon I was referred to by my family doctor - at a different hospital from the one where I had my operation following the injury - and the neurosurgeon that I was referred to by the neurologist who did the EMG expressed amazement at the how quickly I have recovered from the injury. They both declared me as fully recovered. Mike Wong

Fanaye is an angel! I went to East york massage and physio because I was having lower back pain in a specific area and after just 2 months of consecutive treatment and following her program I can say I truly have little to no pain anymore! She was able to find multiple imbalances and weak points which we worked on week after week. She gives reasonable exercises that you can stick to. I was not overwhelmed at all. What I loved about east york physio was that Fanaye was hands on, showing you the exercises, making sure you're doing them right and did a lot of manual therapy. I highly recommend her!

They really helped me out with my back problem after two massages Lei Wang, RMT, and Angela, the Physiotherapist who has been treating me is pretty knowledgeable regarding my issues (back pain and right knee). I also brought my younger brother there when his back flared up for the first time, and after seeing the chiropractor, he felt very much relieved. If my back pain acts up again (or any other joints), I'm setting up another appointment with them ???.

This is a great physio location. I went in with persistent back pain and saw Angela as my physiotherapist. She is not only friendly and professional but clearly cares a lot about her patients. She often went above and beyond to help me with my issues and I highly recommend her as a physiotherapist.

I went to see Angela a Physiotherapist for a nagging knee pain. Angela is very knowledgable at her profession. She very quickly discovered the core issue was not my knee but a stiff back muscle that was causing the pain in my knee. After working on my back during that one session, my knee issue was gone. I would definitely recommend her as she really cares for her patients with follow up emails and exercises to help improve your quality of life.

I have been working with Ryan, my massage therapist and I am extremely satisfied with my physio plan and treatment. My back pain is a whole lot better. Such friendly staff and very accommodating as well. I will most definitely recommend them for physio and massages. June
