I was first referred to Maureen by my neurologist many years ago. Maureen is incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to find out what you are feeling, explains how that part of the body should work and what she can do – then continues to follow up on you. I have had my pain controlled thanks to her expertise. The clinic is run with the highest level of professionalism; the reception staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful (especially when you have an emergency). I have recommended Maureen and the clinic to many friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. |

|
In my experience, this clinic is unique in that my full session is with the Physiotherapist, rather than being served by a parade of assistants with ice and heat that I can easily apply myself at home and fancy machines that have never made any noticeable difference. I have had enough bad or mediocre physiotherapy to recognize how special it is to be treated by someone who is so supportive in the success of my therapy. |

An absolutely fabulous Clinic! everyone is wonderful they have treated my low back and neck for years and helped me through 2 surgeries! highly recommend them! (5 stars) |

Professional and caring; they provide excellent analysis and customize treatment plans and exercise plans with great follow up and support. This is by far the best Physio and kinesiology team I have ever had assist me to achieve my goals |

I have found this clinic to be exceptionally professional, and up-to-date with current research. I have visited a number of other physiotherapists in the past, and this clinic stands out as the best. Private consultation rooms, excellent communication and reasonable prices. Highly recommended. |

I came to this clinic after having visited several clinics, sports medicine clinics, and a variety of therapists over the years due to low back pain and sciatica. Interestingly, their approach was different, scientific, with results-based assessments and treatments that are clearly revealed to you as a patient. First visits focus on evaluation and baseline measurements of mobility, injury, range of motion, and assorted things that have meaning to therapists, not patients! The team there is superb; I have been treated by massage therapist ( Juliette- excellent); kinesiologist ( John- very professional and knowledgeable); and Maureen. They are a team at the forefront of the clinical practice, and it shows. I recommend them unreservedly. (5 Stars) |

Maureen Dwight is fantastic in all respect |
|
|

Maureen fixed an injury in four weeks that had stumped three other well-respected therapists in Toronto for a year. We then moved on to some other stubborn injuries and she uncovered something no one had found before, and that worked too, although this road has been longer, the progress is linear. I’m really grateful. Her team is great as well, especially John Gray their Kinesiologist. |
|
|
|
Maureen is so caring and understanding when. I have seen a major improvement in my mobility by following her exercises and lifestyle directions. |

Maureen is the best !! |

Such a great diagnostic approach. Really looking forward to continuing work with Maureen and the team. Imperfect score on COVID safety only because I think it’s impossible to be ‘perfect’ with COVID safety anywhere. |

Things were explained to me well, and gave me hope for recovery |
|

|
This was one of the most thorough and comprehensive exams I have ever had concerning my scoliosis. It was excellent. I have already recommended someone to your clinic. |
|
|
|
Truly wonderful cross-functional practice, with care specialists in many different disciplines. My primary physiotherapist, Maureen Dwight, is one of the most all-around knowledgeable healthcare professionals I have ever met, and I have been gratefully following her advice, referrals, and recommendations for years as I manage very difficult, chronic health problems. I have now seen many different specialists at this clinic, and if there is any care that I need, I always check first to see if it is available here. |

An amazing team of professionals who work together to help the client meet their individual health care needs and realize great outcomes. They listen. They are always on time and are positive and supportive. I have been a client over 6 years. I travel a significant distance to this clinic and believe that it is worth the travel. Their follow up is quick and questions are always answered. These professionals are top notch and have helped me make very important improvements to my health. |

Hip replacement story: OTC expertise provided me “pre-habilitation” exercises while waiting for surgery. This built muscle tone/strength and the mental discipline to do the critical post-surgical physio work. I’ve just had my 60 day follow-up with the surgeon. Outcomes are great. Highly recommend OTC — made a true difference in speed to recovery and quality of life pre- and post-hip replacement! |

I cannot say enough positive things about The Orthopaedic Therapy Clinic. After seeing 3 physiotherapists I had resigned myself to living with debilitating back pain and swollen knees. After 7 weeks of treatment with Maureen and Aniela and massages with Juliette, I am now pain free. The knowledge and exercises that they have imparted are lifelong skills that I will continue to use to strengthen and align my body. I am forever grateful to this amazing team. Thank you! |
|
|
|
They have an array of specialists that have solved long term and short term ailments as well as treating injuries. I´ve worked with a number of them and all of the people I´ve worked with have been knowledgeable, capable and professional as well as being nice to interact with. They´ve also helped me build better body mechanics and flexibility for my exercise goals. I strongly recommend them! |

Tiffany was amazing. I have an injury that has multiple layers and different components. She was professional, honest, reviewed the facts and provided great solutions to my situation. I would highly recommend Orthopaedic Therapy Clinic for anyone who is going through back pain issues. Thank you Tiffany!! |
