I highly recommend Activa Physiotherapy. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable and kind. She takes time to explain your injury and create a thoughtful and effective treatment plan. Thank you Barbara!

Beyond 5 Stars! Barbara’s Expertise Changed My Life! Barbara’s knowledge and expertise go beyond any specialist or physiotherapist I’ve seen. She accurately assessed my ongoing shoulder issue and immediately recognized that it required surgery—not just physiotherapy. Thanks to her guidance through Carleton Sports Medicine, I was able to get an MRI, undergo surgery, and regain my mobility. But she didn’t stop there! Barbara also correctly diagnosed my ankle injury, identifying torn lateral ligaments that had been missed on an MRI. The surgeon confirmed her assessment, performed the necessary repairs, and now—I can run again! Barbara’s skill, insight, and dedication are truly unmatched. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Barbara is a very caring, knowledgable and passionate physiotherapist. She helped me to recover from many injuries including a car accident. The atmosphere at her clinic is very comfortable and welcoming.  I would highly recommend her and I give her 1000 stars! Thank you so much Barbara!

Mrs. Barbara Stefanska is an excellent physiotherapist with vast professional experience. Upon my arrival, Barbara assessed my complicated and chronic condition very accurately and immediately drew and applied a plan for my treatment. Only after 3 visits and prescribed exercises one of my chronic conditions disappeared completely :) and the remaining ones (also a chronic problem) improved significantly. With every visit and complying with prescribed exercises, I see a big improvement. We are well into conquering the remaining chronic conditions. In addition to the highest professional standard, Barbara is a very caring person who makes you feel welcome and treats you with a big smile. I recommend Activa physiotherapy to anyone. Barbara - Thank you very much for your professionalism, dedication, generosity with time, and a big smile!!! Anna W.

Barbara was great! She really helped speed up my recovery after an injury. Her and her husband create a great atmosphere. The office is clean, professional, but also welcoming and warm. The location is easy to access with plenty of parking. Although I hope to not need her services again, I would definitely return if needed!

Barbara was very professional and considerate of patient care. Her treatment was detailed, always demonstrating new exercises that could be done, but also very prompt. She quickly identified problems that could be corrected and was concise in delivering explanations. Definitely would recommend this location to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

I came in with lower-back pain, and Barbara was able to help me significantly in just a few sessions. She was friendly and spent focused time with me - I felt very well taken care of. She did not try to manipulate me into long-term expensive care, but rather taught me how to take care of my back. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to explain to me what was going on in a way that I understood. I would definitely recommend her.
