“I initially went in for runners knee and ended up working out a decades long hip and hamstring issue. Runners knee is all better too. I did the hybrid program with Jadd where I could work out on my own time and have bi weekly check it's at Defy to evaluate progress or issues. Always in touch via tha app as well if something isn't working or you need help.”Read moreShow less

“I walked into Defy with runner's knee and a dim outlook on completing a first marathon. After working with Jared, I'm now running half marathons every weekend and have never felt stronger, on track to run my first marathon in a few weeks. I started with a physical assessment and strengthening plan to build weaker muscles that supported my goals. Then moved on to running focused techniques and skills that transformed the sport for me. After that, Jared became my virtual running coach to design the training plan and guide me through it. This was a game changer because he adapted the plan as I worked through injuries and the regular bumps of life. This was a huge challenge for me as a dad of young kids with very little time to train. My perspective is now that my running makes me a better dad. Jared and the Defy team are the real deal - Professionals who drive athletic performance. I'm now the runner I always dreamed of being, and am only getting started 💪🏼.”Read moreShow less

“I absolutely love this place. The staff are so friendly and so knowledgeable. My physiotherapist is amazing. You can tell she truly cares and wants to help. She helped develop a manageable exercise program for my busy schedule as a full time nurse and mom of 2 young kids. Any time I wasn’t able to complete my exercises or went overboard, she helped me course-correct without criticism or judgment, instead offering understanding, support, and reassurance. My injury had become chronic but with her help I started noticing some progression within the first few weeks. I would highly recommend.”Read moreShow less

“Fantastic experience to start off my treatment. The reception staff are welcoming and the facility is clean, bright, and full of good vibes making it a very comfortable place to receive treatment. Jess was awesome at listening to my concerns and putting together a routine to help get me back on track to becoming pain free. Looking forward to the next visits!”Read moreShow less

“My mom has been going here for ±6 months to address her recovery post-knee replacement, and it has been a lifeline for her. Top-notch physical therapy and massage therapy, but also a team that has gone above and beyond. Julie, in particular, has been outstanding - addressing issues that were at the core of her problems and, perhaps more importantly, being a constant source of positivity and encouragement in the recovery process. The team at Defy has completely changed the recovery trajectory and outcome. Thank you.”Read moreShow less

“Judging by the other reviews, my experience is an outlier, but worth sharing regardless. I had an initial appointment at Defy that went pretty well. I scheduled a series of follow up sessions, and was told I'd receive a personalized plan within 3 days of my assessment. A week went by with zero contact, and I called to inquire and cancel my first follow up, as I obviously hadn't done any of the prescribed exercises. I was assured that the physiotherapist will be reminded and they'll get back to me ASAP. Another week went by, and still no word. I ended up canceling my upcoming sessions because honestly, there are too many other options in town to continue to wait for a place that for some reason didn't care for my experience.”Read moreShow less
