Clients reviews about Premier Physiotherapy

After 45+ years skiing, my knee decided it didn't like the sport anymore. I took a pretty good tumble and every ligament in my knee was torn or partially torn. I'm so grateful to have found Premier Physiotherapy and to have Abbey working to improve my range of motion before surgery. Each week, there was the utmost professionalism, kindness and support from Roni, Abbey and Courtney. The exercises increased in difficulty according to my progress. This allowed the mental and physical progress to be made pre-op. The dry needling was tricky at first but definitely helped me in other pained areas due to compensation. Now, heading in to surgery, I feel ready thanks to this this great team. Thank you! ~ c m

Clean, bright, and newly renovated clinic. Coupled with experienced physiotherapists is exactly what you get here to help you recover from your injuries. Roni has helped me with 3 separate sports injuries in the past that I’ve completely recovered from. Now we’re working on injury #4 🙈. He takes the time to explain the injury, the exercises, and the long term expectations. He spends plenty of time with you during the session instead of just strapping equipment to you and walking away. He also stays on top of the latest studies and rehab methods. I’ve had nothing but great experience with him! There are good therapists around town, but if you want a GREAT one I highly recommend coming to see Roni. ~ Uno R

Premier physiotherapy is so clean and such a friendly staff it’s beautiful place and very spacious .! Roni is the definition of a true mentor he has always seen the best in me and pushed me to the best of my ability he’s always believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself and has shown me what I am cable of doing he brings out the best in me always and strengthens my weaknesses and has also taught me not to focus on pain and what I can’t do but to be proud of what I can accomplish and to not ever give up on my goals he’s the best most patient educated physiotherapists I have ever worked with and no matter what he’s always there for me and does his best to keep me moving forward . I promise you will not regret working with him he has changed my life for the better and he will change yours . ~ venessa z

Roni has helped me recover from multiple injuries. On each occasion, he would accurately assess the issues and then work to address them, with a combination of hands-on treatment and exercises. He's highly effective in each approach. One thing I really appreciated was his flexibility in terms of prescribing exercises. Other therapists I've worked with before would often ask me to perform exercises that were quite difficult to grasp or properly carry out. With Roni, I was comfortable telling him whenever I had trouble with a particular exercise, and he would quickly find an effective alternative that worked for me. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. At the same time, he's caring, patient and takes a personal interest in all of his clients. I would higly recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever. ~ Robbie S

After years of repetitive injuries from soccer my MCL and hip finally quit. I thought my athletic days were over. Alana thought differently and I went from being barely able to walk to a full return to sports within months. Alana worked within the limits of my insurance plan, which was needed. Staying ontop of the exercises became easy because Alana used the activities I enjoyed doing such as swimming, and weight lifting and built that into my revovery plan. Here I am 1 year later having just finished my first full season of soccer post injury and my first season in 5+ Years that was pain free. I would 100% recommend Alana and premier physio for your recovery journey. ~ Emily F

Stupidly tried to get up to the weight I was slinging in my twenties, after years of lifting leading up to it, now in my forties but doing it in the space of 6mos. Excruciating tennis elbow enter stage right, along with chronic pains and strains in my neck, back and wrist. Roni had me right as rain in four short months, for which I'm eternally thankful. One session with him and it'll be just as obvious to you as it was to me, that he's an expert in the field, who's honed his craft along with his professional yet humanly compassionate and patient approach to interacting with clients. There's a reason why Premier Phys has 115 5-star reviews at time of writing. Make that 116. ~ Marcus T

Started coming here since May/June 2024 for my ACL (knee) surgery repair rehab. Truely is a blessing to have found this clinic. Roni and Co truely care about their patients. They are attentive, friendly, explain everything as clear as possible, set realistic treatment programs and timelines to target the root of the issue and not just relieve the symptoms and are there with you every step of the way. Fast forward to may 2026 and I'm back to playing sports in rec leagues (basketball, badminton) for the first since my injury over 3 years ago, something I was extremely nervous and thought I couldn't do, without pain , discomfort or instability. I would not hesitate to book an appointment! ~ Vinny K

I came to Roni five years ago with a torn ACL among other things wrong with my knee. My injury was quite bad, doctor said it was quite possible I would walk with a limp if I wasn’t diligent about my recovery. I remember sometimes crying at our visits because not only how painful all this was but how frustrating it can feel when your broken. Roni not only fixed my knee, but helped keep me motivated through my recovery, and to this day I have no problems with it:) Time passed and I found myself once again injured and asking for Roni’s help. A disc slipped over my sciatic nerve, and I was in a great deal of pain. Once again, Roni rose to the occasion and his compassion and professionalism shined through another lengthy recovery for me. I now travel across the city just for our check-up-visits (I live in barrhaven) because he’s just THAT GOOD. With greatest thanks, -Violet ~ violeNt_force91 V

I recently visited Premier Physiotherapy after injuring my shoulder, and I can see why they have such great reviews! Roni and his team were fantastic—friendly, highly knowledgeable, and professional. The treatment was top-notch and customized to my needs, which made a huge difference in my recovery. Beyond the excellent care, the atmosphere was so welcoming and fun! Staff and patients alike chatted and connected, creating a positive vibe that made every visit something to look forward to. If you're looking for somewhere to go in the neighbourhood, I'd highly recommend Premier Physiotherapy. I told Roni on my last day that I almost look forward to getting injured again just to come back! :) ~ Scott C

Roni is a fantastic physiotherapist - you will love the office, staff and more importantly, the care you will receive at Premier Physiotherapy. I have been a client of Roni's for about 5 years and if it was not for his great treatments, I would not have been able to make it to my hip replacement surgery. His after surgery care has also been the best. My knees now have to be replaced and I am not going anywhere else for my physio. As a bonus, you will also experience an amazing social session while you are there. Roni has created such a welcoming atmosphere that he will start a conversation with someone and before you know it everyone has joined in. Just like at home! ~ Suzanne D

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Roni over the past two years for a few different injuries and could never say enough good things about him. Roni is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and generous. He truly goes above and beyond to help his patients and gets to know each of them on a personal level. Furthermore, Roni always strives to ensure that patients are well-educated on their condition while promoting a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages everyone to succeed. The new clinic is beautiful, clean, and offers a great variety of facilities. Roni, thank you for the wonderful work that you do, not only for me, but for all your patients. ~ Anna R

My experience with Roni was excellent, I’m truly happy with the results. Hands down the best physio I’ve worked with. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. He understands my limits, works with my anxiety which made me feel safe, supported and listened to throughout my treatment. Roni helped me recover from multiple injuries and also taught me proper form to prevent future issues. You can genuinely tell that he and the entire team care about their patients’ progress and wellbeing. Special shoutout to Chelsea for always being so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend! ~ yara “

I am incredibly thankful to Roni and their entire team...THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! I sustained a very painful injury in my lower back to the point that I couldn't move, couldn't sit and couldn't even dress myself. I was scared, and someone referred me to see Roni. I did not know what to expect. I went to see Roni, and after a thorough assessment, he knew exactly what I had. Immediately, he used multiple techniques to make sure that I was better. I went from being unable to do anything to being able to move freely again. After a few sessions, he focused not only on helping my injury but also on making sure I get stronger so that I would not have to sustain an injury like that again. Thank you, Chelsea, for the fantastic care and attention; thank you, Roni, for helping me return to being myself. I will forever recommend Roni to everyone I know; his professionalism and experience are remarkable. ~ Sarita C

I highly recommend Roni, who has been the best physiotherapist I’ve ever had. After an injury at work, Roni provided exceptional care that helped me recover swiftly. His expertise in tailoring effective exercises to address my specific needs has been invaluable. He is extremely knowledgable in his field and is able to answer any questions I have. Beyond his professional skills, Roni is incredibly kind and empathetic, making each session both productive and reassuring. He truly cares for his clients. For anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled physiotherapist, I would highly recommend Roni. ~ Deasha

My friend from work referred me here. He said that Roni changed his life. I took the comment in stride. After a year of consistently seeing Roni, I can attest to the fact that he has, in fact changed my life. My shoulder pain has significantly decreased and I’ve pretty much gained full functionality. Roni has a great rapport with his patients and his ability to explain things is excellent. The office support staff Grace Tate and Chelsea are efficient and pleasant. As with so many things that are worthwhile, consistency is going to be important. ~ Sim K

Went here after I had dislocated my shoulder playing soccer and they were fantastic! I went to another physio place before but was having no success with my recovery. I had very little mobility and it was still hurting several months after I had dislocated it. Day 1 at Premier Physiotherapy Abbey was able to determine the issue with my shoulder and had a recovery plan ready to go. Several sessions later my shoulder is 100% recovered. They even provided me with workouts to boost the strength of my shoulder to prevent the issue from happening again. Would recommend to anyone! ~ Connor J

Hi! I just wanted to share my experience with Premier Physiotherapy, especially with Rony. I first heard about Rony through a few people who recommended him to me after I went through a health issue that affected my hand movement by almost 90%. Thanks to Rony, my hand is completely back to normal now. Since then, my whole family goes there for treatment. The entire team is amazing, super kind, and they know exactly how to make children feel comfortable and enjoy their sessions. I honestly recommend this place to anyone who needs help. Thank you so much to everyone at Premier Physiotherapy! ~ Souha F

I'm very pleased with the care I received from Roni for my wrist issues. Dealing with the pain and limited mobility was incredibly frustrating, but from the very first session, Roni was professional and attentive. He took the time to explain the condition and developed a treatment plan that was truly effective. Thanks to his expertise, I've seen great improvement and am now able to use my hand without pain. I would highly recommend Roni to anyone in need of an excellent physiotherapist. Plus, the clinic was always clean and well-organized, which made for a very comfortable experience. ~ Rana

I saw Alana at Premier Physiotherapy when I had vertigo. The vertigo was so bad that I was barely able to get out of bed for 5 days prior to when I went to see her for a vestibular assessment. She was able to assess me and treat me during our one hour appointment. I felt some relief from the vertigo instantly and then felt gradually better every day after. She was kind and professional and took the time to explain everything she was doing. I was so grateful for her expertise, as my appointment with her was the only thing I found that helped and eventually fully cleared my vertigo. ~ Caitlin C

I came to Premier Physiotherapy for post-accident recovery and the entire team has been nothing short of fantastic. They are thorough, patient, understanding, and truly attentive, creating a safe and supportive space. The office is always clean and well organized, and Roni, in particular, has been exceptional; skilled, generous with his time, and deeply committed his clients. From day one, they made me feel like I had someone in my corner, and that has gone a very long way in the healing process. ~ Lindsay V

If you're reading this and are contemplating doing physiotherapy, look no further. Roni is the best kept secret in the world of manual therapy. As a manual practioner and athlete, I can testify first hand that this is the place to go if you get hurt. Are you used to going to physios who just hook you up to machines walk away and then come back with a list of exercises? 15min sessions? You will literally beg Roni to leave. He is that passionate about his work. The best physio in Ottawa hands down. ~ O E

I was very physically active during a 36 yr military career. Now retired, my body has the aches, pains and stiffness that came from that and numerous injuries along the way, including surviving a plane crash in Alaska. I have been seeing Roni for the last 3 years and he is a miracle worker. I first went to him for numbness and tingling in my fingers and since then he's worked on both shoulders and my neck. He's given me back my strength and the mobility that I thought that was a thing of the past. Thank you Roni! ~ Mark L

11/10 physiotherapy clinic. Everything about this clinic is top notch from the level of care of the physiotherapists, the design and set up of the location, the equipment, the cleanliness, the advice provided, all the way to the efficient billing and receipts system. The physiotherapists are friendly and knowledgeable and they provide effective solutions and exercises to address issues and fix them in the longer term. If you are looking for physiotherapy services, please consider this clinic, you will not be disappointed. ~ Jessica P

I saw Amelie after a running injury and had a wonderful experience! Over the course of a few weeks she gave me a variety of exercises that helped me get back to running. She adapted my program as I progressed/regressed, answered all my questions with easy to understand explanations and was easy to contact and quick to respond whenever I had questions between appointments. I am so grateful for the care and support I received at Premier Physiotherapy! ~ Madeline F
