I had an excellent physiotherapy / running gait assessment with Jared today! Jared is friendly, kind, and INCREDIBLY competent and knowledgable. I left the appointment feeling great and with a ton of insight about my biomechanics and movement patterns. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Jared to improve the discrepancies we discovered. Thanks so much for the fantastic appointment Jared!

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.

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 💪🏼.

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.

Highly recommend Julie at Defy. She was knowledgeable and clearly communicated what was going on with my low back issues. I have a treatment plan in place and feel positive about moving forward. Thanks Julie !

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!

I can’t thank the defy team enough for all the support and care over the years. They’ve been there for me through so many injuries and always go above and beyond to help me recover and feel my best. Professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring. I always feel like I’m in the best hands. I recommend them to everyone I know!

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.

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.

I met with Katie Wood today for an initial assessment of a groin injury I suffered playing hockey. She’s an extremely knowledgeable and intelligent physiotherapist. She was very personable and provided a comprehensive list of activities for my recovery in the weeks to come! I highly recommend Defy Sports Performance & Physiotherapy
