 Solutions for wherever you are on the injury to performance spectrum

Whether you’re in youth sport with dreams of playing professionally, an avid weekend warrior looking to stay active, or a masters athlete pushing your body to the limit we have individualized assessment and treatment options to keep you moving forward.

There are numerous options for your injury management. Physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and many more- all with their own treatments, techniques and claims to get you better fastest. Where you choose to go should be a conscious decision based on the knowledge and technical skills of the therapist, the real world experience your therapist has in your sport or activity, and what you’re hoping to be accomplished during your appointment. Having worked in a variety of different settings including big physiotherapy chains, I couldn’t help but feel that you (i.e., the patient) were consistently getting the short end of the stick. Being booked into a 15 minute slot (sometimes shorter) means that your physiotherapist has upwards of 4 people on the go every hour. Machines and modalities are nice but your health shouldn’t be short-changed by the ‘normal’ scheduling parameters of the industry. Your story matters and no detail is too small. It takes time to dive into your training routines, your sporting workload, and all the other factors that impact your recovery like sleep and nutrition. That’s why I stepped out from a busy caseload to offer a superior option for my clients. An option that gives you multiple treatment lengths to best meet your current needs and access to me around the clock. Athletes of all types have one thing in common- goals. Goals that you will often push your body to the limit to accomplish. Goals that you spend all of your time and effort working towards. Whether it’s making the team or running your first race it matters a lot, and it should matter a lot to your therapist too. Injuries are scary and they really do suck but they shouldn’t stop you from reaching your goal. Contact us today to find out how we can help you reach your goal.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials

“Great experience here with Myles. He is very thorough in understanding the problem. I came in with some run related foot pain and Myles spent a lot of time really thoroughly understanding the problem. As an athlete with a minor injury you are typically balancing a strong desire to get back to hard training with caution and fear of worsening the injury and being out for longer. Myles seems to really understand this and he provided guidance to get me back running again while still being cautious of the injury. He was pleasant to deal with and shares a love of running and other athletics. Thanks Myles!”

-Gareth Neufeld

“Fantastic experience & life saver! I am new to running and my body was not responding well to the sudden display of athleticism. I spoke with Myles who did an incredibly thorough job getting to the root of the problem and providing multiple ways to address my issues. I had tried another physiotherapist before and, comparing that experience to Apex, would choose Apex again just for the amount of care they put into their work. They followed up with me regularly to find out how I was doing and that really kept me on track! Would 10/10 recommend this practice.”

-Jaquelin Mantei

“I am truly blown away at what physical therapy can do! I have been dealing with low back pain for a decade and it had become intolerable. I was fairly consistent with massage therapy and had a few chiro sessions but when I left my first appointment with Myles I nearly cried because I truly felt he understood WHY. I had maybe 3 or 4 sessions with him, the exercises he gave me were simple enough, but obviously targeted the area of my body that I needed to improve and strengthen to help. And help it did! This is the longest period I have gone without a flare up that puts me out of commission. I wish I didn't wait this long! It sounds dramatic - but thank you, Myles, your work as literally given me life back!“

-Tricia Sullivan

“I have been seeing Myles for just about two months now and he has helped me tremendously. I have been to a lot of physiotherapists that have asked me to take time off for running/slow down in order to heal faster. Myles never asked me to do this, in fact he encouraged me to continue running at my pace and distance. Together we worked towards strengthening my leg/foot and fixing the problem rather than masking it. Over all very happy with my experience and I will definitely be returning for future treatments, when needed.”

-Natalie Gugala

“Myles had me back up and walking (without any pain or limp!) in less than a month after I suffered from some tendinitis after overuse. He was extremely patient and tailored a recovery plan to me in order to make sure my ankle not only recovered, but that I would be back stronger than before. I couldn't recommend Myles enough to someone looking for a physiotherapist!”

-Emily Williams

“Myles is very thorough and makes sure he understands every detail of the issues I've been having and every visit I have improvements. He has given me helpful exercises that have helped me improved my different joint issues without overwhelming me, and that help me stay pain-free and improve between appointments. My issues are a lot better and I haven't needed to come back as often because the exercises are getting me stronger and more stable. Each appointment he has used various techniques to help with joint and muscle pain and it always helps the pain or range of motion so that I can do exercises and my physical job with less pain.”

-Kristi Herlein

“I went and saw Myles about my hip. It was making it very difficult to squat and I had an intense amount of tightness. Myles used needling techniques and gave me exercises to do and wow I feel much better. Myles was exceptional and I would recommend anyone to go to him. Very professional and knowledgeable. If I ever have pain in the future again I know where I'll be going.”

-Zachary Bruyere

“Myles is an excellent PT; he goes out of his way to listen and make a reasonable recommendation within the boundaries of what he can assume his clients will do between appointments :) Great guy and I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

-Alex LaForce

“Great physiotherapist. Very friendly and polite. I really appreciate his willingness to adjust my exercise program depending on the current situation I’m at, so as to find something that will help me better, rather than just giving me standard exercises. Thanks Myles :).”
