“I had a badly broken wrist that was quite compromised. Kristin’s therapy has improved the range of motion and functionality so it is quite comfortable and strong now. She and her staff are also lovely to deal with. It was a pleasure going for physio!”

“Kristin provided an excellent assessment of my injuries (middle finger - both hands). She is knowledgeable and responded expertly to my questions. A direction and plan for therapy was shared with me. Home exercises were provided. Merci, Kristin.”

“I have some serious hand problems after 35 years in my Trade. My trusted GP referred me to HULO telling me that this physiotherapist is the best in Ottawa to deal with hand and upper limb issues and my particular issue. Kirsten assessed my issue and worked with me to help me go from being constantly in pain to completely resolved. I'm now able to resume my normal activities and cannot recommend Kirsten and HULO enough. Just being able to be no longer in pain and doing the things I need to do is a major miracle for me and HULO and Kirsten is why I am now able to be at that point in my life.”Read moreShow less

“I had surgery to repair a severed tendon in my little finger and afterwards spent months meeting with Kirstin weekly for physio. Kirstin is excellent! I am so grateful for Kirstin's patience, care, expertise, and great conversation!”

“As a professional artist and connoisseur of video games, I developed Repetitive Strain Injury in my wrist. I was anxious about going to physio as I had never been before, but as soon as you walk in HULO Physio it's such a warm welcoming place I felt super comfortable immediately! Kirstin has been so knowledgeable, honest, encouraging and realistic, and she's easy to get along with. I always look forward to my appointments, I highly recommend HULO!”Read moreShow less

“I'm impressed with Kirstin and grateful I found her! My sister, a physiotherapist in another province, suggested I see Kirstin about acute osteoarthritis in both my thumbs. Like another reviewer wrote, Kirstin really does take a real professional interest and her time. She is an excellent problem-solver who can engage a community of expertise (when needed) of which she is a part. In only 2 months and 3 visits (including an additional one at my request), Kirstin has taken me from constant pain and disability (I was considering another cortisone injection and even looking into the possibility of joint replacement surgery if necessary down the road) to now relative comfort and much greater function. I was able to get affordable comfort braces for each thumb, as well as more rigid protective braces for activities like gardening, prepping food, lifting, and other activities that inflame my arthritis. These supports, plus a simple daily strengthening routine, mean that it's unlikely i'll need to consider other interventions in future (like cortisone, surgery). I've found Kirstin to be very responsive, warm, thorough, and dedicated to me as a client as well as to her profession. I referred my Mother to Kirstin and she/Mom was very happy with her experience. I can't recommend Kirstin highly enough.”Read moreShow less
