Three years ago, I couldn’t climb to the top of our toboggan hill. I had undiagnosed tendonitis in the knee and weakened hip/glute muscles from pregnancy. I literally would stand at the bottom and watch my kids play and wish I could run to the top and be the kind of mom I wanted to be. Fast forward three years. I worked hard with daily deliberate physio therapy with Jeff @summersidephysio (that guy is amazing!) AND I JUST BIKED OVER 300KM on the Icefields Parkway! I feel accomplished and strong. I know I can push myself to do hard things. I have done what I literally thought was impossible. I literally cannot recommend Jeff Vela more. He has changed my life and given me my function back. He is kind, very knowledgeable, and explains things well and always is willing to change the plan again and again to work with where you are at.

  • Christine Paquette

We went to Summerside Physio after Lizz was recommended to us from fellow moms who had a great experience regarding head shape treatment. Coming to her with a unique situation and after having been left with a lot of questions from other providers, I walked out finally feeling like we had some clarity and direction. Lizz was incredibly knowledgeable and really took the time to hear us out and understand our situation before offering some guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with head shape asymmetry. Having personally gone through helmet treatments, chiropractic care, and craniosacral treatments in an effort to correct my 21 month old son’s flat spot, I would highly suggest Lizz be parents first stop as soon as any head shape concerns arise. I wish we would have known about her months ago!

  • James Law

Stephanie Chiu was the physiotherapist that helped me with my shoulders and upper back. Being someone who slouched a lot, I was hoping to find ways to correct my posture. Stephanie had me do multiple stretches and movements to see where the problem areas are and it really helped inform me of my own muscles and joints which may need some stretching and/or strengthening. She sent me home with many exercises and stretches that will help me and I am very grateful for her to share her knowledge with me. You can tell she knows a lot about the body and is always seeking to find ways to help her clients in anyway she can. I left feeling much more educated and equipped for long term healing and improvement. I am thankful I went and would definitely recommend!

  • Stephanie James

Really wonderful!! The staff is very friendly and the therapist was extremely knowledgeable. Checked in often to see how I was feeling about what we were working on with my baby. The therapist was very confident and professional which put me at ease. I left feeling very good about continuing therapy at home and well informed about what options were available going forward. The place itself is beautiful inside, very clean and nice. Saw that they were cleaning door handles and surfaces after each interaction which was nice when you have a small baby. Plenty of parking. I will definitely be continuing to go here for my child's treatment. This place was recommended by my physician even though it's a longer drive for me and it was definitely worth it. :)

  • Rekha Thomas

I took my 4 month old to see Justin because she started having a flat head to one side. He is beyond patient and great with not only my baby but also myself as the mom. He spent time teaching me exercises to do with her and I never felt rushed, he was open to all my questions. I also appreciated that he went above and beyond to do exercises that promoted my baby to work on her developmental milestones. Over the 3 months that I've seen Justin, my daughter has greatly improved and I would recommend this clinic and Justin to everyone I know. The clinic itself is very clean, the front desk staff are friendly, and it's easy to make appointments. Thank you!!

  • Stephanie Z

Liz provided my baby with good care - a thorough assessment to best determine the treatment plan, clear support with learning how to do the exercises, the opportunity to practice there, and handouts outlining what we covered. She also made sure to check if I had questions so I’d be clear with the exercises. With implementing the changes we were able to see results by the time we did the follow up visit. Liz was also good about giving future direction so that we can be on top of things if/when symptoms return with growth spurts etc. This was helpful for empowering me to know what to expect and what actions to take to help keep him developing well!

  • Claudine Drefs

My teen daughter has been seeing Jeff intermittently over the past year for knee & back issues. He is FANTASTIC! Extremely intelligent and intuitive. Always professional, friendly, and approachable. He's eager to teach and explain what he's assessed, how and why he's made those assessments, and what his recommendations for interventions are. He'll even bring out diagrams and the office skeleton to show exactly what he's talking about. He works together with my daughter to come up with realistic and attainable goals that will benefit her in her everyday functioning as well as in the specific sports she engages in. Jeff provides excellent care!

  • Deanna Zaal

Chris was very welcoming, kind and thorough in his assessment of my 12-year-old daughter. He was very knowledgeable in assessing and treating an injury that is not a particularly common sports injury. He went slowly and made sure my daughter knew exactly what he was doing, and why. I appreciate how he talked with her and they developed a return-to-play strategy together. Chris works out of Vimy Ridge School Tuesdays and Thursdays which is amazing. My daughter misses very little school for appointments, and I don't have to drive her back and forth. I would definitely recommend Chris to others.

  • Sonny Sekhon

When your doctor recommends that your newborn need Physiotherapy it is a stressful scenario. My wife and I took our new born son in and we met with his physio therapist Liz. She is a confident, calm, kind and knowledgeable woman. Liz instantly took the stress out of the room. She was clear in what issues our son was having and clear in what plan we needed to follow. She has helped him incredibly and we are grateful for her help as well as the team at the clinic. If you have a little one needing some work I highly recommend the drive to see her.

  • Christine MacDonald

I've been to other physiotherapists before but have never gotten such great service as I have with Justin. He is patient and kind and explains everything that my body is going through with physical diagrams and visual aids. He shows me the proper way to do the exercises to target the area I'm working on and makes sure I'm doing them correctly before I leave. His follow-ups are thorough and he leaves room for lots of questions. I am very impressed with him and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist who really cares!

  • Shawna Shuster

I have been working with Amanda after doing damage to my ACL/MCL and I have had a great experience! She has been adaptable to my schedule and needs while taking into consideration the balance between healing my knee and needing to it work. Although I do not hope to need to be back anytime soon, should I need another injury recovery treatment I will absolutely be going back to her! She is friendly, easy to get along with, and has done an incredible job getting me returned to work/sport.

  • Katie Hiller

Justin was super friendly, and obviously very knowledgeable about the body. What really impressed me was how he spoke directly to my daughter, listened to her answers and descriptions, asked if she had questions, and explained things to her as well as to me! Considering she is the one with the complaint and the one who has to do the exercises, I just really appreciated how she was consulted and involved in the whole appointment. Just a super positive experience all around!

  • Julie de Coster

I took my 3 months old for to Summerside Physio and saw Justin. He was super thorough, very professional and made sure I was understanding what was happening with my child and that I could perform the stretching correctly on him. The assessment is not cheap (just like at any specialized physio) and I didn't feel rushed at all, which is highly appreciated. It was a mild torticollis so nothing complicated and I have definitely seen improvements. Really happy ! Thanks!

  • Shirley Wong

Chris Holt is an excellent physiotherapist. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist that is extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated in ensuring his clients receive quality care. I am a very active individual and Chris has assisted me through a couple of major injuries/post-surgeries, in order to continue with my active lifestyle. I am appreciative and grateful of Chris’ expertise and commitment to outstanding care.

  • Jacquie Riske

Jeff at Summerside is very professional and personable. He asks about not only my issues but how I am doing in general. He is a great listener and empathizer. He encourages me on what I am doing well that is improving my shoulder mobility even though I might not see it. He gives great exercises and provides hand written drawings and instructions so I can follow along in case i forget some of the critical details of the exercises. Excellent experience.

  • Tenille Hagman

We will miss Carly so much!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience at Summerside and our experience with Carly! She is the most welcoming and bubbly person! The exercises she gave us were realistic and so helpful! My son absolutely adored her and loved the way she made every appointment fun yet productive! Her knowledge and skills were next level! The front desk is always helpful and smiley. Overall a great experience!

  • Linz

I feel like I'm in the most capable hands with Chris Holt. He was kind, easy to talk to, whole heartedly listened to my concerns, thoroughly examined my injury and came up with a very doable plan for recovery and strengthening. I found his knowledge and demeanor very comforting. I look forward to working with him as my physiotherapist and feel a great amount of hope that my injury and other issues will be alleviated by following his plans.

  • Denilson Barbosa

Stephanie treated my 10-year old son for a nagging sports injury and I could not have been happier with the whole process. She was amazing dealing with him -- super patient, answering all of his (many) questions and getting him super motivated to complete the treatment. She was super forthcoming with me and her plan worked exactly as expected and within the time frame she stipulated. I could not recommend her enough.

  • Brittany Boyd

Meaghan saw and assessed my four month old for potential torticollis today. I was blown away at how kind, gentle, thorough yet professional she was. She really took the time to explain every single step of her assessment, made sure I understood how to do the stretches and then allowed me to try them. I left feeling very confident in our plan to help correct his torticollis and would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

  • caleb mueller

Jeff Vela at Summerside is amazing, even with virtual appointments he can tell exactly what’s wrong with your body and then give you exactly what you need to fix it. I’ve been to other places where they try and scam you by having you come in twice a week and drain your bank account, Jeff is much more realistic and as long as you go once a month and do your assigned exercises, you should be fixed!

  • Amanda P

Jeff V. was amazing with my daughter who is very concerned about knee pain keeping her from swimming. He clearly explained everything throughout the assessment and assured her that the prescribed exercises would help. I was extremely impressed with his ability to connect with my 11 year old. He is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of her questions. So happy to have found him! Thank you!

  • madison koenig

If you’re looking for a great physiotherapist for your baby, look no further! Justin did an awesome job troubleshooting my daughters neck issues, I was very impressed with not only his level of knowledge & professionalism but also his kind-hearted nature. Ayla was in good hands today and I left feeling confident I could use the stretches he taught me to help straighten her out. Thanks again!

  • Jamie Parnitsky

I came here with my 6 week old for some head shape issues, and neck mobility issues. We continued coming until she was 6 months old! Lizz was nothing but informative, kind & helpful! Never hesitated to answer an email, and always sends you home feeling confident and happy!! The front desk staff were always friendly when you walked in, and recognized us! I love that!

  • Sherin Mathew

We met with Justin and he was excellent! He was very thorough and patient when we asked so many questions. He never rushed us and explained everything in detail. We felt listened to and heard. We appreciated his kindness and how attentive he was with our 6month old. He understood our concerns and suggested his recommendations. Thanks for being so awesome, Justin!!

  • Dakota Rausch

We just had our consultation appointment with Justin this morning, and he was amazing. Very thorough in his explanations, and he left me feeling confident in the stretches he gave me to perform with my 2 month old baby. He was gentle, caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’re excited to continue our care with Summerside!

  • Sheila Nent

I was very skeptical when our doctor referred us, (physio for a baby... seriously??) but I'm so glad I followed her advice. Lizz was very friendly and knowledgeable. She shared helpful insights about our baby's development, and gave us simple stretches and exercises to work on at home. Now the issues have resolved and we are so thankful and relieved.

  • Jen Perry

Summerside physio is fantastic! Justin worked on our two month old son to help correct his side preference and head shape. He taught us how to complete the exercises and educated us on everything regarding the condition. He was so patient and kind and our son was at ease with him. We would highly recommend this practice for your infant physio needs.

  • Saije Tough

Amazing staff! I Brought my 2 year old son in to be assessed for ankles rolling inwards. Justin was absolutely amazing! Very friendly and was very good at Physio through play. Justin was very thorough and explained everything as we went through the appointment. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone who needs Physio for their little ones!

  • ABDUL MAJID SHARIFF

Amanda is my wife's physiotherapist, and she has helped my wife tremendously. She is very experienced and has an excellent bedside manner. The receptionist and all staff at the clinic are excellent.

  • Stephen Rasimas

Today I saw Jeff. He completed a very thorough assessment and was able to diagnose the issue I was experiencing. As I had been to the physician without resolution I was extremely happy with the outcome today and would definitely recommend this clinic. I have previously seen Chris at this location who was excellent as well.

  • Rachel

My son has been seeing Justin for physiotherapy for over a year now. He is personable, knowledgable and very understanding. If you can book with him I HIGHLY suggest it. He comes up with different stretches and activities everytime and gets down on the level of a 4 year old. My son LOVES going to see "Mr. Justin"

  • Ayeh

We had a great experience at my daughter’s assessment with Steph yesterday, it usually takes my daughter some time to warm up to people that she’s never met before and Steph was super patient with her and made the process as fun as possible leading to my daughter not wanting to leave her office at the end!

  • Tess Watson

Justin was super patient and kind during his appointment with my 10 month old!

Highly recommend taking your babies to Justin!

  • Irene Ho

Had our first visit with Lizz and was impressed with how clean and professional the office looked. Lizz was incredible with our son, very calm, kind and informative to us.

Been taking my daughter there since she was 8 weeks old. Justin is incredible, does a great job at not only making the experience as comfortable as possible for both baby and mama but also is great at explaining and teaching everything. The whole office is super friendly and wonderful.

  • Alana Black

We met with Justin to assess my son's gait. Justin was very nice and gave us plenty of useful information to apply at home. He was also very understanding of my son not being a fan of strangers and brought in many, many toys to help keep him distracted and happy. Definitely recommend!
