Christina was so knowledgeable and was very fun to work with. She really made my "homework" exercises realistic to what I was able to achieve at home. The space is well organized and clean. Definitely would recommend.

Jordan is amazing at what he does! I am very pleased with my experience and would recommend anyone to trailside physio. Jordan knows his stuff and is very good at explaining in depth injuries and the reason for pain after injury. He is also very quick at getting back to emails even on his days off! Very impressed and would go back if I ever had another injury or needed physio

Brendan was great and helped me get over the discomfort I had in my shoulders and knees. The facilities were nice and I’d come back here again if I ever needed to. (I hope I don’t need to though)

I suffered two separate knee incidences. Both on the same knee, both were a torn miniscus type of problem. Brendan Brauer was so incredibly helpful. I was very nervous and scared. He made me feel so safe and secure. He gave me the exercises, confidence and support for a quick and full recovery . This summer I went to Europe and had so much walking to do (12.5 km one day!). I sure appreciated Brendan then. When I was injured I feared I would never be able to walk without pain again. Thanks to him, I am pain free (but still do my exercises occasionally to ensure strength and mobility). Thanks Brendan. Your caring and expertise are so appreciated and valued.

I have been dealing with hip pain for over a year. I have been to 2 other physio therapists to get it under control and have had no success.It has been 4 weeks working with Christina and I am pain free for the first time in a long, long time.Her assessment was more in depth than I’d had previously and the exercises she assigned me to do at home were super effective.I made sure to do my homework daily and have seen better results than I thought possible.I cannot rate my experience here high enough. 10 out of 5 stars!

When a rotator cuff injury made simple movements an issue, my Doctor recommended Physio. Thanks to Ben (PoCo location) I now have much more of an understanding and more importantly much more range of movement! Ben is so thorough, so knowledgeable and an all round great guy! The ambience is far from clinical and boasts a picturesque view. The staff I’ve dealt with have all been super and went out of their way to coordinate through my benefits plan. I would highly recommend this location and especially Ben!

I have attended Trailside Physio for a few years now. I started first with the owner Francisco for my knee replacement physio and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. The following year I saw Brendan for my hip replacement and later a foot issue. Brendan was wonderful with suggesting exercises and even sending me emails detailing the exercises. From the minute I walk in, i am greeted warmly by their receptionist, then Brendan is smiling and friendly, and whenever Francisco is there he comes over to ask how i am doing. Everyone I have worked with there has been very warm and welcoming, I have always felt they are sincerely interested and concerned with my recovery. I would not hesitate to refer a friend to this wonderful location.

My experience with Christina Smith at Trailside was impeccable, I can't recommend her highly enough. After suffering an intercostal muscle tear in my ribs, and with an annual golf trip only three weeks away, things were not looking good when I arrived for the first day of physio at Trailside. But with Christina's expertise, encouragement and planning, I was able to make it back on the course in record time and I'm happy to report I have not experienced a single setback along the way. Thank you, Christina! You are a pro.

I’m a college athlete and Brendan worked with me through the end of my return to sport process after ACL surgery. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great physio to work with. He challenged me when I needed to be pushed and reassured me when I needed the mental confidence dealing with my first major injury and surgery recovery. I was cleared at 9 months post op and currently back to sport with no issues as of yet. Definitely recommend.

I can’t recommend Christina Smith at Trailside Physiotherapy enough! After seeing multiple physiotherapists and chiropractors for my work-related back injury with no results, Christina is the only one who has provided effective treatment. Her expertise and personalized approach has made all the difference in my recovery. Thank you, Christina!

Had a great experience at Trailside Physio with Ben Chang. He quickly identified the source of my complaints and the exercises we worked on made a huge difference in my ability to enjoy sports and exercise! Hope I don't need it again, but when I do, I'll be back to see Ben.

I went to Brendan Brauer at Trailside Physio for help with an injury from snowboarding. Brendan did a fantastic job diagnosing the injury and creating a rehab plan that worked for me. Would highly recommend. I will be back for any other physio needs!

My GP referred me for physio when I was experiencing sciatica pain. I saw Ben, who was excellent. He helped me greatly decrease the incidence and degree of pain. The clinic itself is very well run and convenient being located in PCCC. Highly recommend.

My first contact with Trailside was with the owner Francisco who then took the time to ensure that I was placed with the right physiotherapist. He recommended Brendan Brauer and I cannot say enough good things about him. I require long term physio with my condition and he ensures that I continue to be challenged, gain strength and is very creative with the tools he has. He always ensures that I am safe, listens to concerns, is kind and has been a great addition to my rehab team. I would definitely recommend Brendan and Trailside Physiotherapy.

Excellent experience at Trailside Physiotherapy in the PoCo Community Centre! Ben was my physiotherapist at this location for a knee injury. He figured out right away what was wrong with my knee, did some manual manipulation on it and had me do some exercises onsite. He also provided me with exercises to do at home. After a few visits, my knee was back to normal. They have a fantastic facility at this location - clean, roomy and great exercise equipment (it's right beside the fitness centre) and there's tons of parking under the community centre. Highly recommended!

Christina Smith is, hands down, the best physiotherapist I’ve ever had. Slipped disc in my back fully recovered in 10 weeks, despite a 2 week set-back of my own doing. She has a special attention to detail and a knack for designing the perfect workout and rehab program for my specific needs. She felt like my coach, coaching me to strengthen my body and recover, because all she wants is for you to recover.

I cannot say enough about the amazing level of care and detail Christina puts into every session with my son. He has dreams of pursuing hockey to a high level and she has been professional and realistic with his return to play progress, helping my son understand why a rush back to play is not always a good thing. I am grateful we have found Christina and the team at Trailside PoCo and never hesitate to tell everyone that is looking, this is the place to go!

Christine's been amazing. I feel like it was a bit of two steps forward then a step back followed by 3 steps forward. We're making great progress and sustainable changes that make my life so much more functional.

Trailside Physio has been a life saver! After being in a car accident five years ago, I've had nothing but amazing care from their physiotherapists. This is a brand new built for purpose facility. Extremely cleanly with very friendly office receptionists too! I would highly recommend paying them a visit! Ask for Christina! You will not be disappointed and your body will thank you for it.
