  • Daniel Briere

My name is Daniel and I’m a football player at the University of Ottawa. I came to Jonathan Steen and Iain McGregor after I had suffered my second ACL tear. I saw Jonathan pre-operation and he did an amazing job outlining the weaknesses in my leg which were causing problems throughout my lower body. Post-operation it was the same thing with strengthening what I had lost after surgery, but still working on my weaknesses at the same time with functional movements. Post-operation I was also introduced to Iain. He’s a great physiotherapist and I’ve felt as though I can relay what I’m thinking/feeling to him while being listened to. I worked with Iain at the clinic for the most part however, when I was able to do football related activities Iain made the commitment to meet me at my gym to go over things and make sure everything is on the right track which was a level of commitment I’d never had before with physiotherapists. All in all my experience(s) at Fortis have been amazing. I’ve been able to lift more weight than before my ACL tear and have overall felt like a stronger athlete. As well, I’ve become a lot more self-aware with how my body moves and functions.

Absolutely fantastic space! Friendly, clean, & professional. I can finally sleep in peace. Highly recommend. I was having trouble with the middle of my back locking up. When I first met Dr. Steen he was attentive to the issues I was experiencing, but also got down to the roots of the problem efficiently. Instead of simply completing an adjustment, he sat down with me and identified key areas of my health that were contributing to the discomfort. We went through basic body movements, and identified points of interest. I was then provided with a handful of useful movements that I can do from home. During the initial assessment we discussed a few things: stress levels, eating, physical activity and sleep. I've had trouble with sleeping for the past 15 years, (to the point that most doctors were prescribing sedatives). Dr. Steen helped me develop a new sleep routine that has drastically improved my sleep, and in turn my overall health. I can't thank him enough. The staff were kind and the atmosphere of the space was very welcoming. If you are in need, or just looking to live your best life, you must stop in and see for yourself.

  • Greg Loghrin

I've been dealing with chronic lower back pain due to DDD for 3 years. During that time, I've turned to various physicians/therapists including a Chiropractor, a Physio Therapist, a Sports Medicine Doctor, my GP, as well as a Massage Therapist. All of which I can credit to some extent in my recovery. However, I cannot credit anyone more than Dr. Steen. I went to see him for 10 visits over the course of 3 months and I'm now at a point for the first time in 3 years where I have not experienced any pain in the last 2 months (since the end of my treatment). Within seconds of my initial assessment I was confident in his ability to assist me & sure enough I was right. The exercises he provided for homework, while a little different, are very effective and simple to execute. I do not hesitate in the least to refer anyone experiencing any pain to lean on Dr. Steen for assistance. He's among the best there is IMO! Lastly, be prepared to do your homework as I've learned recovery is a team effort and without your commitment his ability to assist you is minimized. THANK YOU Dr. Steen for enhancing the quality of my life!!!!

  • Lana Reid

I have been super happy with my visits to see Diana Raghunandan for both myself and my dogs. Diana is incredibly knowledgeable and I always leave my appointment feeling that she fully understood and addressed any concerns. I am impressed on how she continues to upgrade her skills and knowledge while keeping an open mind about many different types of therapy. I have been seeing Diana for over one year now and she has alleviated so many issues in my body. She has improved my performance and that of my dogs in the sport of dog agility and also helped a recent puppy of mine overcome a reaction to a vaccination. I teach agility and have recommended many of my students to visit this clinic and specifically Diana whenever their dogs are showing signs of a potential injury or the person is injured; Diana always comes up with a game plan to get the dog or handler back in the ring as soon as possible. The clinic itself is exceptionally clean, welcoming, and professional. This is not your average physiotherapy clinic in my experience. 5 stars!

  • Fatima Khalid

I started seeing Dr. Steen 3 months back to get help for improving my overall health and physical well-being (through acupuncture). Being afraid of needles, I had some preconceived notions of acupuncture. He completely changed them, and the treatment has been very effective for me so far. I would accredit that to his technique and expertise. He spends a sizeable time in each visit focusing on professional coaching for a healthy routine. This has had the most positive impact on me. His guidance has given me the tools to make sustainable lifestyle changes that I never thought I could otherwise. Most importantly, these changes make me feel in control of myself. The treatment overall, has also helped me with some of my bigger health goals in life. He’s truly an expert in his field. For anyone seeking acupuncture/chiropractic treatment or to make a shift to healthy lifestyle, I would definitely recommend him as one of the best.

  • Chelsea Hamre

Dr. Steen has been a life changer! He really cares about his clients and the "journey". He's not a "one problem has one solution that fits all" kind of guy. I originally was referred to him by a good friend for some ear issues which was impacting my health and not being able to workout. I had been to an ear specialist, did an MRI, family doctor and nothing had come out of it - it all "looked normal" but I wasn't feeling right (which was very frustrating/discouraging). Here came Dr. Steen who analyzed much more than my symptoms. He looked at what habits may be triggering that to happen... sleeping habits, posture/neck position, nutrition, etc. Looking at those patterns, changing habits and being more aware of those movements. I'm now able to workout again without it having a negative impact on how I feel the rest of the day. I am SOOOO happy I had the opportunity to work with him. I would refer to him time and time again!

  • Sarah Hodgins

I love that one of the first things Dr. Jon told me when I met him was that his goal was for his patients to get better, not that they'd have to keep coming back to him long term. I first went to see Dr. Jon when I was unable to stand or walk for even a short period of time due to severe back pain. After the first session I already felt so much better! He gave me a few exercises that I could easily fit into my routine and helped me to see daily improvements. He also gave me suggestions of variations I could do during classes so I could continue with my fitness goals. After several moths of not exercising like I had been, I went back to see Dr. Jon after returning to the gym and noticing some signs of what I'd felt previously. I knew I didn't want it to get to the point it had been back when I first saw Dr. Jon and after one or two treatments I felt great again! Thanks so much Dr. Jon for all your help and encouragement!

  • WALL-2-WALL Ice

I first went to see Dr. Jon October 31st with a feeling of discomfort and restricted mobility with my back and hips. After his assessment, he devised a plan for me along with Ian to get me back on track for my day to day activity with work. With getting a better understanding of my movements for work, he was able to pinpoint many issues and has provided me with the tools I need to ensure my body is functioning properly on a daily basis. With changes in my sleep patterns, dietary consumption and daily movements, I have seen impressive results over this past month of treatment! It’s been quite some time that I’ve felt this good on a daily basis! The atmosphere at Fortis Spine and Sport is extremely welcoming and Dr. Jon’s team is extremely knowledgeable with providing a long term solutions to your movement needs! I can’t thank this team of therapists enough for everything they’ve done for me!

  • Amanda Mellway

Miracle Worker! I have been dealing with a back issue for 2yrs. I have been to physio, massage and chiro. Nothing seemed to help and I was in pain constantly, day and night. I wasn't able to do simple household tasks, never mind playing sports. One doctor even told me that I am getting to that age that pain is just a part of life!!! Then my daughter Ultimate Frisbee coach brought in Dr. Jon to teach the girls some exercises. I talked to one of the coaches about bringing my daughter in to see him to help with some weakness she was having and on a whim decided to try him out for myself as well. I am so glad I did. After one appointment with Dr. Jon I was able to run again! After 6wks, I could actually Play Ultimate Frisbee again. I cannot Thank You enough Dr. Jon, for helping me and giving me the tools to help myself. I highly recommend him to anyone who will listen!

  • Alison Gregory

I cannot recommend Dr Steen highly enough! I first started treatment for a 10 year hip issue which was causing chronic pain. Over the 10 year period the pain gradually increased and I was struggling to walk 30 minutes a day because of the pain. Literally weeks into my treatment wth Dr Steen, I was walking without pain, it was amazing to have 10 years of pain gone! Dr Steen has also treated me after two concussions from MVAs, helping me to manage the symptoms as well as whiplash/ankle injury. He even managed to make me a fan of acupuncture after absolutely hating it. It has been amazingly helpful with everything from pain, nervous system, to concussion symptoms. He is genuinely interested in helping you be as healthy and active as possible, he always takes the time to listen to your goals and struggles, and is very patient and kind.

  • Paul Shepherd

Amazing Results! This is the best way to describe the effects of the treatments I have received from Dr. Jon Steen. His wholistic approach addressed not only the injury but the nerve and muscle systems involved, and the external stressors which can and do contribute to the presenting problem. Not only have Dr. Jon's treatments brought about complete recovery, he has taught me exercises and methods for attaining and maintaining health and well-being. Working with Dr. Jon, I have learned to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and "listen" to signals my body is giving me. I highly recommend Dr. Jon to everyone who is looking for relief from pain and a return to an active lifestyle: I can attest to these in my life coming from the excellent and personal care, attention, and therapy Dr. Jon has provided.

  • Corey Schutz

I came to Fortis and Dr. Steen with mobility issues in my neck and shoulder as well as constant pain.I have worked a physically demanding job for 20 years, so I’ve had my share of injuries and issues. I had a shoulder surgery in 2019 just before COVID. I had a hard time getting Physio at the time due to the lockdowns, and ended up with Capsulitis. I did physio for my shoulder, and the therapist told me after 12 weeks that I shouldn’t expect to see any further improvements, and I would have to get used to the limited mobility and pain. I lived that way for almost 4 years. A friend suggested I go see Dr. Steen, and I had noticeable improvements in mobility after my first appointment. I have now had 6 weeks of treatment, and the difference in both pain and mobility is amazing.

  • Caitlyn McCauley

Helped me more than I can express! I was recommended to Dr. Steen through a mutual friend for an issue regarding my shoulder. Besides his education and experience being impressive enough, he went above and beyond in every single treatment session I had with him. He targeted parts of my body to not only help my shoulder, but my overall posture and how I move. I was sent home with exercises to continue doing to maintain overall strength and ensure that when our treatments were over my progress didn't stop. I have recommended my sister to Dr.Steen and anyone else who has asked about the success I have had with my shoulder. I am super grateful for the things Dr.Steen has taught me through out treatment, and will continue to apply everything I have learned to my day to day life.

  • Natasha Nash

I was referred to Dr. Jon after I finally couldn't manage my knee pain. I didn't know what I had done to it, there was no big traumatic injury to go off of for a treatment plan it was a big question mark. We worked on a lot of movement to try an sort out the culprit and through some intense sessions with acupuncture and exercises I started to feel some relief. Now after about 4 weeks I have no pain, I can walk and move and I'm way more conscious of how I'm using my body. I'm sure my lack of awareness of how I move was what injured my knee in the first place. He's very knowledgeable about how the body works and moves through space. He's great at showing you the hows and whys and gives you homework to do which is incredibly valuable. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

  • Roberta Drummond

I came to Dr. Jon after admiring his work with other high-level athletes, five years of varsity rugby left me with some lingering injuries and the consequential poor movement patterns and imbalances that followed. Dr. Jon takes a holistic, multifaceted approach to treating the athlete as a whole, as opposed to just acute injuries. It is evident in his work that he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about helping his clients. After a handful of sessions, many areas of my life drastically improved, from movement to nutrition to sleep. As a former rugby player himself, Dr. Jon challenged me to work hard and together we developed goals to optimize my performance on and off field. I simply cannot say enough good things about my experience at Fortis Spine and Sport!

  • Robb Collins

Diana is a wonderful warm practitioner! After a serious injury, our vet recommended physio for our Golden Retriever, and we have been in to visit her once a month for about 3 years. Every visit she conducts a thorough assessment of my dogs needs and explains her treatment plan for the visit, focusing on pain relief and mobility. Over the years she has used massage, electro stimulus, acupuncture and more. She has given us exercises and stretches which have truly improved my dog’s quality of life. I couldn’t ask for a better, kinder and more caring professional to treat my dog. My dog literally runs in to the treatment room to see her favourite health care provider. I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for top notch care for their favourite doggo.

  • Manny

After having seen 3 other Chiropractors, 2 Physiotherapists and 2 massage therapist I must say that I am happy to have finally met Dr. Steen! I've been in pain for over 5 years and Jonathan provided me with the tools, treatments and confidence to start living an active lifestyle again! I went from doing minimal exercise such as short walks to now doing the intense Lift 4 series of Beach Body training! Jonathan also taught me the importance of nutrition and supplements to help avoid inflammation. He also made me more aware of my posture when working and doing exercises. I now have the confidence to physically push myself knowing that he has my back if I ever need his services again! Thank you for this much-needed positive vibe in my life!

  • Matthew Wiggins

I am a College Baseball player and was having issues after getting into a car accident with my back. It was affecting everything in my life. I got referred to Dr Jon through a Redblacks player. He changed my life. I went from being barely able to walk and touch my toes to being just about 100% healthy. He changed my perspective on life and changed the way that I lived on a daily basis. Very personable guy. I feel like I can talk to him about anything. Genuinely cares about his patients and I can tell he is extremely passionate about what he does. Highly recommend for you to go see him. I’m glad I did not only for help to return to Baseball but also just changing my lifestyle and creating habits that will benefit me in the long run.

  • Emily Kavanagh

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jon and FORTIS. I used to be constantly injured, and wore four braces (two knees, and two ankle). Now, not only am I brace free, but I have also been injury free for over a year thanks to Dr. Jon. He not only treats the injury, but also works to understand the root cause, something hard to find in practitioners. With his holistic approach, we worked on building my functional fitness and strengthening some core body movements which made a world of difference. I can honestly say that I would not have made it to where I am today in my sports career without him. I am a Team Canada athlete and I am incredibly lucky to have Dr. Jon as part of my healthcare team.

  • Jonah Zlatinszky

Going into fortis spine and sport I can honestly say It was the best experience. I went there once a week for five weeks to get treatment done on a lingering back injury. As a professional athlete I have to try and keep my body as prime as possible and Dr. Steen did an amazing job of getting me back nearly 100% in the five weeks I saw him. He’s super knowledgeable and really knows what he’s talking about! If you are in the Ottawa area and are looking for someone to do hands-on treatment and provide you ways to get yourself right, I highly recommend going to see him. Honestly without seeing Dr. Steen I don’t know if I’d be ready for my NFL and CFL workouts coming up!

  • Kevin Mackie

Dr. Jon's not your typical chiropractor. Dr. Jon takes the time to understand the root cause of the problem and then uses soft tissue work, acupuncture, and movement to fix it. The most important thing he provides is effective strategies and knowledge that will help you become more aware of your body, its movement patterns, and how they affect you. My first visit to Dr. Jon was due to a chronic neck injury from sports, and he was able to help me in ways no other practitioner could. For the last seven years, I have been playing catch up with the injury. The treatments I received from Dr. Jon and the strategies he gave me have put me in a great position for recovery.

  • Jeff O'Brien

After 15+ years of "professionals" telling me to stop playing soccer due to various short-term injuries & aging, I have finally found a sports clinic that works with you and what you want. Dr. Jon & Iain are the dynamic duo and work amazingly well together and are so knowledgeable in their respective fields. Arthritis is the body's natural stabilizer when we age and get this: the team at Fortis embrace that mindset and works with you to encourage improvements in body movements and exercises so you don't have to stop being active. I feel so encouraged & supported every time I leave and can't wait to go back for further encouragement and improvements.

  • patrick theriault

Not your typical "Chiropractor". Dr. John uses varies methods to help improve your overall functionality and movement patterns. I have noticed significant improvements after treatments and lifestyle hacks from John. You can expect to receive a 30 min hands on treatment which is very personalized opposed to your quick in and out clinics that give you a quick adjustment and send you on your way. I'm myself have refereed family and friends to John because I trust the work that he does. Anyone looking to rehab an injury, get pain relief or simply try to optimize your bodies potential I would highly recommend you give Fortis Spine & Sport a call.

  • Ryan Kuffner

I’ve had on and off hip problems for about 4 years. Dr. Steen was able to diagnose my hip problem within our first session and was able to put together a personal plan before I walked out the door. During sessions, each movement had specific intent and i was able to experience immediate results. He made extra time to see me in his office and expedite my recovery and rehabilitation processes. Most importantly, he’s put together a specific plan that I can carry out on my own while maintaining consistent dialogue on the results. It’s been 3 months pain free thanks to Dr Steen, and I feel much more dialed in to my body because of his work.

  • R & R Auto

Years ago I injured my right shoulder, and never thought too much about it. Lately, I'd been experiencing excruciating pain in my right shoulder, to the point where I could no longer sleep properly. I met Iain at FORTIS Spine & Sport, and he immediately assessed the problem and started therapy to help me correct the problem. Within a few weeks, the pain had completely subsided, and I had a course of action to help my shoulder to heal from an old injury, and to correct the movement of my shoulder. I can't speak highly enough about how well Iain took care of me. Iain's knowledge and professionalism is exemplary.

  • Mike Lovett

I usually hate leaving reviews of any kind. I find them time consuming and annoying but for Dr Steen I had to make and exception. My body was in shambles before working with him. 15 years of rugby did a number on my back, knees and ankle. After just 3 months of working with John my pain level has significantly decreased and my range of motion is the best it has been in years. You can tell he is heavily invested in your health and genuinely cares about his patients. I had almost given up hope that I could feel better one day but I am extremely thankful to say that Dr Steen has changed my life.

  • Jacob Foster

So I am very picky with my PTs, I have gone through a couple because I found them ineffective and they weren't able to help me with my reoccurring low back issues. I workout quite avidly and when a PT tells me I should just not and take a break that really doesn't do it for me. I have been going to see Ian and we have been working hard to improve my issues and there has been a difference made. Not only our the exercises relevant and effective but his dry needling is great too. If anyone is looking for a PT that works out and knows what they are doing, I highly suggest Ian.

  • Liam Ambridge

I came to see Iain about 4 months ago for my back which had been misdiagnosed for years. After talking Iain quickly figured out what my issue was along with a plethora of others. I have been roofing for 10 years and put my body through tremendous strain. In these 4 months I have never felt so good. At 28 I feel better than I did at 20. The amount of care put in is incredible. I can tell he takes time out of his personal schedule to think about exercises and stretches that will help with the awkward positions my job puts me in. I have never been happier with a business.

  • CSELL

iain Mcgregor is a phenomenal physio who stands out from the rest with his ability to diagnose problems very specific to the given individual. He helped me sort out many injuries by prescribing stability and unilateral strength exercises specific to my case. This, alongside his expertise in acupuncture has not only provided much needed relief for day to day activity, but has also resulted in greater performance at the gym. I haven’t used Dr Jon Steen for chiro, but he seems to keep the place well run/clean, and is always happy to help over the phone.

  • Kieron Torrance

Dr. Jon is incredible at what he does he very easy going and explains his work in a way that’s very understandable. I got a very quick appointment as I was going on vacation in 3 days and he made time for me, I went in with a back injury and my first session he gauged how I was and figured out the right treatment that targeted the effected area also giving me exercises to work on at home (which worked amazing). Safe to say I had a great vacation with no pain. 100% would recommend and will be using Dr. Jon for anything in the future should I need to!

  • Corey Mahoney

Dr.Jon is truly a miracle worker. For years I’ve suffered through an old gym injury that really affected my work and overall quality of life. After one appointment the change was more than noticeable. I had a much greater range of mobility and comfort I hadn’t had in years. Through continued sessions and home exercises and dietary changes Jon has been able to drastically change how I move, stand and feel. To anyone considering it, do yourself a favour and change your life for the better. If I could I’d give him 10 stars.

  • Sammy Ibrahim

I was being treated by Holly Zita. I went to a couple of RMTs and physio clinics to treat my sore shoulder issue. They had prescribed me the same treatment which seem to never solve the problem. Then when I came to Fortis and began treatment with Holly, she was able to discover the source of my issue by truly examining my body movements in a gym environment which I believe is key.She was thorough in her diagnosis and was able to provide an easy to follow routine to continue alleviating my chronic soreness.

  • andrea corbett

I have dealt with back pain for years. I have gone to physio and Chiro for this problem for years only to have the pain return. After a couple sessions with Jon I couldn't believe the difference. He taught me better ways to move to help prevent the pain and exercises to strengthen my back. Jon's goal is to help you get better and not having you coming back to see him forever like some other "professions" do. I would highly recommend Jon. Thanks Jon for all your help.

  • Betsy Collins

I have been a patient of Dr. Jon and Holly for chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy and functional movement. They are both exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and approachable. I particularly appreciate their holistic approach to treatment which is aimed at identifying and treating the underlying cause of pain. They are focused on helping me make permanent changes to my posture and movement for lifelong improvement. Thank you Fortis!

  • Alea Husseini

I highly recommend Dr Jon! I had been dealing with a reoccurring mcl injury and he helped me recover and get back to playing soccer quicker than i had ever experienced previously. Even more, he provided insight and diagnosis on why I was constantly getting various injuries. Understanding the root causes of my injuries and utilizing the tools Dr Jon provided has been hugely beneficial to me, and I am grateful for his work. Thank you!

  • DAVID BOYD

Thanks for the great time and care. Over the years mistreating my body and always worked through the pain. Iain and Jon both took the time to listen to me and diagnose my pain and not rush the process and got to know me and how the injury happened. I felt like I was in good hands and they truly care about people they treat. Also the office and treatment center is every clean and inviting. Looking forward to my next treatment.

  • lana crossman

I highly recommend FORTIS. After "putting up" with painful plantar fasciitis for months, I finally went for treatment. My only regret is that I didn't do it much sooner. Iain quickly identified the problem and treated me using a combination of methods -- acupuncture, massage, strength exercises. He always takes the time to explain what he's doing and why -- and the results are remarkable. The office is clean and comfortable.

  • Gabriel Vilardi

I spend my off-seasons working with Dr. Jon at FORTIS. He does it all acupuncture, soft tissue, movement rehab, nutrition, pain management and mindset strategies. If I hadn’t met him I would not be in a position to return to and perform at the sport I love. I appreciate all your help in getting me back to this optimal place. Thanks for everything Dr. Jon! You’re a career saver and a great friend! Gabriel Vilardi, LA KINGS

  • Christian Deldoc

Coming from someone who haven't had a good experience with physio and rehab, I was very apprehensive about trying this treatment. But Dr. Steen provided a clear cut plan in the very beginning to cater to my problem and was very upfront with the issue. We discussed short-term and long-term goals I had and made plans to tackle them. He also gave positive vibes in getting me to be more active and live a healthier lifestyle.

  • Dan Julien

Dr Jon helped me through my weight loss journey and a body rehab. What started as a meeting about tennis elbow ( and finding out it was actually something in my neck...) led to helping me unstiffen my back/hibs and other areas. His focus on movement and giving the patient the tools helped me a lot instead of the old, show up to chiro and get a back crack to get you through a couple weeks that I was used to.

  • Ana Brule

Diana is an amazing physiotherapist . I have found relief with only 2 sessions so far, after suffering for 7 months with extreme pain from 2 herniated discs and multiple bulged discs. The place is welcoming and super clean. The staff is friendly and always willing to accommodate the patients busy schedules. I am extremely happy to have found this place. Thank you so much Diana and all Fortis staff members!

  • Miguel velez

Was recommended to come here and see Diana from a friend at work. Very good friendly vibe. Everybody is nice. I’m so glad that I came , man what a difference Diana has made in my mobility. She is very knowledgeable and now’s what’s she’s doing. I’ve had physiotherapy before for sports injuries and nothing like this experience!! Well worth it and definitely coming back when needed!! Thanks again Diana

  • Sadler Kubiseski

Love this place! Every visit i am always greeted with good attitudes and smiles. Ive been working with Iain for a couple months on a shoulder injury and it has been awesome! Not only is he helping tenfold on my injury but also giving lots of advice and help with my fitness and health journey. Very easy to talk to and a great person! Have and will continue recommend FORTIS Spine and Sport

  • Vanessa Papiernik

I recently had my first massage with Chelsea and she was wonderful! Chelsea was a true professional - she listened to my concerns and quickly made me feel at ease. I very much enjoyed her attention to detail and the care that went into addressing each area of concern (many of which I did not even know I had). Very clean facility and a warm, welcoming environment. I can’t wait to go back!

  • Lauren McNeil

I highly recommend Dr.Steen! His methods of treatment are very effective and I started to see results quickly. After seeing him for a broken wrist, I eventually gained my ROM and strength back and my scar has begun to fade. He is super friendly and always sees the bigger picture when approaching an injury. I’m very pleased with my final result and so thankful for all his help!

  • Andrew Jarvis

I have found FORTIS an incredibly welcoming place with an abundance of resources to help. Following a surgery I have went to Dr.Jon Steen to receive rehab, not only has he sped up recovery, but he has taught me about my injury and has helped me understand what is happening. Dr. Steen answers all questions, and has put his full effort into getting me back to hockey. Thank you!

  • Pauline

Dr Jon is a wonderful Dr., attentive, great listener, gave clear & concise instructions on improving the function of my body. I hobbled in to see Dr Jon, he assessed my ailment, then worked his beautiful magic. After a series of treatments & prescribed exercise i was able to walk out of his clinic pain free. Such a massive relief. Highly recommend Dr Jon.

  • Brett Vanstralen

I’ve had back issues since a young age. It has kept me from doing the things I enjoy periodically. was told about Dr. Steen from my brother, since going in for my first appointment he has doing things I never thought I could, pain free and I feel better than I have in years! can’t recommend him enough. Dr. Steen and his staff are very polite and friendly.

  • Karina Furman

Diana, my incredible physiotherapist, is truly a game-changer. After three frustrating years of trying various therapies and working with different practitioners with no success, I finally found my answer in Diana. Her expertise and personalized approach have brought me the relief and progress that I've been desperately seeking. She's the real deal

  • Julie Mariani

Best therapy in town!! Dr. Jon fixed my son from a hockey injury, my son was back on the ice within 5 weeks. I am also going to see Dr. Jon, he is fabulous. He wants to see you get better and not a 5 min appointment in and out. He takes his time to address your concerns. Holly is also helping my son with massage therapy, amazing !! Thank you!

  • Brett Chisholm

I highly recommend FORTIS Spine and Sport. Dr Steen is a pleasure to deal with and is very accommodating. He not only addresses your issues he takes the time to explain what's happening and gives you the tools to prevent problems from reoccurring. The atmosphere of his office is very welcoming and his staff is courteous and professional.

  • Ronald Mills

Highly recommended. I went in with orthotics and chronic foot pain that had started travelling up my leg. Dr Jon said "tell me everything" (past injuries, surgeries, how's your diet) until he narrowed down the problem and fixed it, as well as giving me exercises and other tools to maintain and strengthen the problem areas. 10 out of 10.

  • Kyle Browne

Dr. Jon is a different gravy. Sadly at my age I have spent more time on a physio table then I would have liked to, however after working with Jon I’m not only physically back to my peak but also a lot stronger mentally. He is now somebody I will always turn too when I run into obsiticals both on and off the pitch.

Today, I had my second incredible session with Diana. Absolute two thumbs up with five stars. Diana understands, she treats me with respect, listens very well, and offers me therapeutic services I have never been offered before. My physical situation is on the mend, with gratitude. I feel like Christmas Day!

  • Mark Webb

Tried to fix my chronic lower back pain with other chiros and physios, but nothing was helping. After seeing Dr. Jon for just a few months, my back has gotten way better. His methods of diving into the root of the problem and fixing the causes rather than just poking and prodding are great. Best in the biz.

  • Arran Johnstone

Having dealt with Iain in a professional capacity, I can honestly say you will struggle to find a more diligent and committed physio. He is extremely approachable and will take the time to explain to you anything you're not sure of. Top physio and top guy all round. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

  • Anton Petrochenko

Highly recommend this place. I visited Jonathan and Ian for my back injury. I was impressed with their diagnostic methods - both are very professional and focus heavily on remedying the root cause rather than symptoms. Got me back pain free and gave me a bunch of pointers so injuries do not happen again.

  • Darby Brown

The treatment I have received at Fortis has been life-changing. Dr. Jon is by far the most knowledgeable practitioner I have ever worked with. His movement-based approach to treatment allows patients to gain knowledge and body awareness that can be easily transferred into every facet of everyday life.

  • Jessy Tran

Ian has played a major role in my progression in olympic weightlifting. He has fixed my problems and helped prevent me from getting injured so I can keep on training. I would recommend him to anyone who is an athlete, enthusiast, or anyone who just wants to move better to live a happier healthy life.

  • Kalia Mellway

Before I came to Jon I was having trouble running, jogging and even sometimes walking without pain. He has helped me, and given me so many tools to help myself. Not to mention helping me get over some of my fear of needles(acupuncture is still not my favourite thing). He truly is a miracle worker.

  • T OConnor

Work in construction and after having increasing back pain for 3 months, and having seen 3 different therapists I decided to see Dr. Jon. Very happy with the results! Issue was identified in first visit and 3 weeks later virtually pain free. No longer have to consider a job shift. Thanks Dr. Jon.

  • Ronnie3vil

Highly recommended Ian if you're in pain. Not only did he fix my shoulder but actually showed me how to lift correctly so I wont injure myself again. The clinic over all is clean and professional with private rooms for manual physical therapy. There is also gym space for weight and stretching.

  • Scott Mazzotta

Been working with Dr. Steen for almost a decade now. I’ve unfortunately torn both my ACLs and was able to come back from them feeling even stronger than I did before they were torn. Can’t recommend a more qualified person to help you get back to 100% and better when you undergo an injury.

  • Wilson Brown

As an athlete I've been to many physiotherapist, Iain is the best one. Good to work with, explains things well and has good plans set in place to help fix issues. Had a nagging shoulder injury for a year had seen other therapist and he was the only one who actually fixed it. Goat!

  • Cameron Stewart

I threw my back out 2 days before a golf tournament. The next morning I could barely get out of bed and had to take the day off work. I had 2 appointments with Dr. Steen and was not only able to play in the tournament, but also played the next day as well. Unreal work!

  • Víctor VC

Great chiropractic service with a different approach to solve my lower back issue. I do agree with Dr. Steen in finding the root of my problem so we can focus on how to heal the affected area, instead of trying to temporary solve everything with back cracks and fixes.

  • Steve Collins

The care and treatment I received from Dr. Jon was outstanding! But equally important were the knowledge and skills he provided for me to move forward at the gym with great confidence and enjoyment. Dr. Jon is a first class health care professional.

  • Kyle Desormeaux

I went in to see Holly; I had a nagging knee injury. She was professional and showed me that she cared. Only after a few visits, I was back to running and my normal daily runs. She was friendly and knowable. I'll go see her again for my next injury.

  • Brianne Rossi

Highly recommend! Iain has been fantastic to work with - he’s extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He identified my problem right away, explained it well, and got me on a path to healing. After only a few visits, I saw a huge improvement.

  • Callum Ramsay

Ian has helped me solve and progress through physical limitations that I have had from previous injuries that I wasn’t able to solve with other professionals. In a month I started to see great improvements in my overall strength and mobility.

  • Christine Laroche

I had a really great experience here in regards to physiotherapy. Ian addressed all my needs and helped me understand how continue to be functional through an injury. Fortis itself is very clean and welcoming environment. Highly recommend.

  • Sarah Weeks

Jon and his team are incredible. Check your ego at the door and commit to the process and you will be blown away. Jon's approach is very holistic and he views your body/lifestyle/ personality as a whole. I was healed in more ways than one!

  • Phil de Kemp

Ian and the staff are wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable, and understand exactly how to rehab your injury in a very professional and friendly manner. Great, small, personal facility. Had reverse shoulder replacement....Ian is the best !!!

  • Zo op

Always a 10/10 experience working with the knowledgeable Dr. Steen. If you want 0 BS treatment, FORTIS is the place you need to go. Bring your aches/pains/gains and the Fortis group will steer you in the right direction.

  • Dan Marques

Johnathan actually takes the time and cares about the root cause of your pain/injury, rather than masking it up with generic exercises. Great combination of eastern and modern approaches. Highly recommended!

  • Rachel Batty

I have been coming to Fortis for over a year now. Iain has treated my shoulder, knee and my wicked plantar fasciitis. He has always made sure that I continue to do all my favourite sports during recovery.

  • Jessie-Lynn MacDonald

Holly is by far the best. Her professionalism, knowledge and skillset is second to none. She is definitely my go to therapist. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to my clients and friends.

  • John T

Holly was able to treat me, explain what she was doing and give me advice on how to avoid needed it again. Professional, kind, thoughtful and informative. Definitely recommend without hesitation.
