I had been dealing with chronic pain in both knees for several years before finally consulting my doctor, who referred me for physiotherapy. Based on strong recommendations from people I trust, I specifically asked to be referred to Essential Therapy to work with Paul. From the initial assessment, Paul took a thorough and holistic approach. In addition to my knee issues, I mentioned occasional sciatic pain, and he clearly explained how everything was interconnected. He quickly developed a structured and effective treatment plan. At every appointment, Paul dedicated the full session to hands-on treatment, demonstrating both expertise and professionalism. After each visit, I felt noticeable improvement, almost as if I was standing taller. I experienced relief even after the first session. With continued treatments and the at-home exercises he recommended, I am now pain-free. I had come to accept chronic pain as a permanent part of my life, so this turnaround has been remarkable. I’m also becoming more flexible and active as I continue to improve. Additionally, I had recently fallen that aggravated a wrist I had broken a few years ago, which had continued to cause chronic discomfort despite previous physiotherapy elsewhere. In a way, the fall turned out to be a blessing. Paul treated the injury and showed me a few simple techniques I could use myself. Not only did the pain from the recent fall subside, but the lingering chronic pain I had lived with for years is now gone as well. I highly recommend Paul at Essential Physiotherapy. Thank you, Paul, for helping me overcome this long-standing pain.

I’ve had such a positive experience at Essential Physiotherapy! Sherri is truly amazing — incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping you feel your best. She brings years of experience in women’s health, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and overall wellness, and it really shows in the care she provides. The clinic itself offers a wide range of services beyond traditional physio, including chiropractic care and massage therapy, all delivered in a warm, welcoming space that feels personal and supportive. Every visit feels focused and individualized, and I’ve always walked away feeling better — both physically and more confident in my body. Highly recommend Sherri and the whole team to anyone looking for thoughtful, expert care and real results!

Kayla is an excellent massage therapist, very professional and friendly. My daughter was immediately at ease, was feeling better after the treatment, and is looking forward to future appointments. Thank you!

Sheri is an incredible physiotherapist. She helped improve my arthritis hip symptoms that were there for 20+ years in just 2 pelvic physio sessions. She helped me through my whole pregnancy and postpartum period not only with professional advice, but also so willing to provide advice on all areas of motherhood and beyond when asked. She spends so long with her patients making sure they feel supported and always stays on top of the latest scientific research, explaining what she does in simple terms. I am so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her clinic for anyone looking for physio!

Amazing understanding of the pelvic floor and the debilitating affects it can render!! Walking in hunched over and unable to function upright to skipping on the way out speaks volumes!! Suffering for 4 years with no answers and every test known to man with no results! I gave this therapy one last shot and it was absolutely life changing!! Thank you Ashley, your work is not as appreciated as it should be!!

Sherri is amazing & so understanding & accommodating! When dealing with the issue of frequent engorgement when my son was just born, she was quick to help schedule me in for emergency appointments to help with clogged milk ducts. With light massage and the sound waves from the ultrasound machine, it helped to speed the healing along to help avoid mastitis before it could begin. I highly recommend Essential Physio to any new mother dealing with the pain associated with engorgement! Thanks, Sherri!

Sherri at Essential Physio is amazing. I am currently going here to help me along with pregnancy and the information she gives helps soo much! She's HIGHLY skilled and is a wealth of information. The facility is super cute, clean and welcoming. They offer DoTerra products for sale (woohoo), have flexible scheduling hours and are conveniently located. There is free parking in the back of the establishment.

We visited Essential Physiotherapy for birthing classes while we were pregnant and pelvic floor physiotherapy before and after and I cannot say enough about the care we received. The birthing class was exactly what we needed to get on the same page before we gave birth to our daughter -- my husband was such a good coach because of what Sherri taught him in class. Sherri totally had my back after giving birth and helped me heal my separated abs and got me on the road to strengthening my pelvic floor post birth. If you're ignoring your pelvic floor after having a baby -- see Sherri, instead of peeing your pants your whole life. ;)

I have been going to Essential Physio for 8 months for a pregnancy related issue which has resolved, due to treatment. Staff are very friendly and accomdating. The receptionists would watch my baby as I had treatment. I have yet to see anything unprofessional occur. They give friendly reminder phone calls for appointments which I personally find helpful. Additionally, they offer several services for the pre and postnatal mother far beyond what the general public is aware of. I could not recommend this place more. Very pleased. Very satisfied.
