I found Johanna Nicholson very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She asked questions to understand my expectations of what I wanted to achieve. She showed me exercises that I demonstrated to her and she adjusted them so I would have full benefit from them. I did find the PhysiApp very helpful and good backup when I missed placed my paper copy of the exercise routine she made for me. The entire staff is friendly and works together as a team to help care for their clients. I am pleased to have choice River East Physiotherapy which was referred to me by my uncle who had a knee replacement 7 years ago. My doctor suggested to get physiotherapy first before exploring other options more serious for my knees which were swelling & painful when I tryed to step up on anything higher than 12 inches or walk a distance. I had no strength in the mussels to bare my weight. I can feel a difference after 3 weeks and looking forward to achieving my goals thanks to the team at River East Physiotherapy.

I have been looking for a good physiotherapist and have seen three over the last year. Don Charbonneau was the forth and final as I have finally found the best physiotherapist for me. Don is very thorough, very knowledgeable and personable. He was able to answer all my questions and offer suggestions about my concerns. He took the time to hear me and I really believe he cares about me and truly wants to help me get better. Other physiotherapist didn't take time for me, just processed me and I felt they didn't care about my recovery. I came home from my first appointment with Don and told my husband I finally found the right physiotherapist for me, someone who cares. I would highly recommend Don to my family and friends. I am already telling them about all about him.

I recently had to begin physio again due to ongoing problems from an auto accident on Feb 15/22. My vehicle was rear-ended. River East physio looked after me a few years ago and I returned to their care this week. I was initially assessed by Maddy Lengyel, Physiotherapist . After a very thorough exam Maddy set up a treatment/exercise program to initially be carried out over a six week period, at which time Maddy will reassess. I received an exercise data sheet and associated treatment that day. I found Maddy to be a very warm , knowledgeable and caring person. We reviewed my instructions to ensure i was comfortable with the plan being made. I left feeling secure in the knowledge i had trusted the right Physio clinic. I highly recommend the clinic and Maddy.

Whenever I get injured at work and I would need physio therapy, I would call River East Physiotherapy as soon as possible and book my appointment with Danielle Fraser. She was recommended by my brother and I recommended her to everyone as well. She would do everything to help me get back in shape and fully recovered to work. She is very knowledgeable of her work. I've been injured at work a lot of times and she would always assess everything to make me feel better. Before, I used to go the the other REP clinic. I asked for her and they said that she moved to the other clinic (Rothesay). If ever I get injured again or if anyone would need an assessment of their body pain whether it's from work or anywhere, I would definitely 100% recommend to go to her!

Don Charboneau is an amazing physiotherapist. Years ago I had searched for help with my right shoulder and when my search took me to Don (dry needling was my last resort), he fixed me up with several sessions and I was good as new for years. Now he's working on my neck area and a new dislocation injury on my left shoulder. He explains everything in detail so I can understand what my body needs to stretch and strengthen. He now works with an app you can download and magically you receive your new exercises by video which makes it very simple to see what to do, rather than paper which is usually almost impossible to understand. So far I've had 2 physio sessions and I can't believe what a difference he's made already! Thank you Don!

I have been going to River East Physiotherapy for a little over a year now. The atmosphere is always so clean, sanitized, the staff are always friendly, helpful, and very welcoming!! For the the first few months I have been seeing Maddy, was for my foot problem that I had. She taught me lots of stretches that help with my everyday life. She has completely helped me with my foot problem. This is my second time around coming back to River East Physiotherapy and requesting Maddy again with a back problem I am having that is limiting me to many things. She is teaching me some stretches that help with keeping me mobile!! If you need a good physiotherapist, River East Physiotherapy is the place to go!!

Johanna Nicholson knows what she is doing and explains everything in detail. She ensure that you do the exercises properly by letting me demonstrate the exercises to her and she will then let me know if I’m doing it correctly. I can email her anytime and she responds in a timely manner. The entire staff is super friendly and they all really care about the people who come to them for help. I had 2 disks in my lower back that were bulging and I felt great after 2 sessions. I am and can feel my recovery happening. I am very happy and thankful for the team at River East Physiotherapy

I have been seeing Matei Dragne for about 3 weeks now for 2 shoulder injuries and he has been fantastic to work with. He has been super clear in explaining how to do each exercise as well as why they need to be done. He is very approachable and easy to talk to which is great when you're in a room together for an extended period. In fact all of the staff at the clinic have been great and they are all very nice people who just want to help people the best they can. I don't want to have to go to physio because why would you, but this is the only place I would go to moving forward.

My son has been seeing Don Charbonneau for the last 10 months after his ACL surgery. We are extremely pleased with the level of care Don has provided. He is very knowledgeable and patient and goes above and beyond to ensure both my son and I understand the physio plan and the exercises. He truly cares about his patients and their recovery. I’d 100% recommend both him and the facility. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful and the facility is very well maintained and clean. A huge shout out to the entire team at River East Physiotherapy! ~ Thank you!

Our therapists name is Johanna. My mother of 94 went to see you Johanna after she experienced a fall that severely pulled muscles in her upper and lower back. Due to my mother's language barrier and hearing loss it is at times difficult to communicate with her. Johanna was very patient and thorough with her assessment and made appropriate recommendations. My mother can become anxious in new situations. Johannes kind nature and gentle touch makes her feel at ease. I found all the staff we interacted with to be professional attentive and kind.

First visit: I like the later appointments. I thought I would be waiting weeks, no!! In right away. Hours open/available are fantastic. Prefilling out the intake form saved time from having to rush to get there. Covid protocols followed, and really no one wants some germy person near them so that's nice. Everyone is friendly! My person is Peter. He has a calming soothing voice. Listens and asks a lot of questions. He encourages lots of questions as well. Again this was my first visit. So I have lots of hope.

There is absolutely nothing about this clinic that is not first rate. Everything from the staff to the equipment to the professional and supportive attitude of all who work there makes you feel welcome and confident that coming here was a wise decision. I came seeking help to recover following knee-replacement surgery. From the moment I arrived on my first visit they knew exactly what I needed and produced an easy-to-follow plan of action with hands on instruction and support from all involved.

Julia was fantastic! She walked me through the initial pelvic floor physio assessment, letting me know what to expect and reminding me that if I ever felt uncomfortable to let her know. Thankfully, her excellent bedside manner and expertise ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the treatment, and I left with more knowledge about my body as well as some exercises to help strengthen my pelvic floor! I highly recommend seeing her for any pelvic floor physio needs you may have.

I had an amazing experience! I would give 10 stars if I could. I was looking for a physiotherapist after injuring my calf while training for a triathlon. I made an appointment with Ryan Pang (as my mother told me that I need to see him specifically) and I have never been more impressed! I absolutely loved his approach, treatment, and his plan for what I should do at home so I can recover quickly. I would definitely recommend this facility and physiotherapist!

Although my current situation is not an easy fix I have the utmost confidence in the one physiotherapist I feel I can trust. Ryan Pang listens and is intuitive on how to approach a solution. I had a different issue years ago and he got me back to work and up and dancing again. I feel that he is going to help me on my journey to full mobility .I'd recommend anyone at River East Physio but Ryan did such a bang up job with guidance it helped me regain my life.

Ryan is absolutely amazing. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and their recovery the minute you meet him. He is thorough, doesn't rush the appointments or treat multiple patients at the same time. Ryan took the time to really listen to me and my concerns. I had a hard time leaving my long time physiotherapist behind in my move but finding him made it much easier! Not only Ryan but the entire team at River East. Highly recommend!

We have gone to River East Physiotherapy for quite a few years for different reasons and we always ask for Don Charbonneau, Physiotherapist. We have now gone back to see Don because of an extremely bad rear ender at high speed that we were involved in. We know that Don is terrific and will do his part to help us back on the road to recovery. Thank you Don for your help in the past and we look forward to your help going forward.

Liana is nothing short of amazing! I was having shoulder and neck issues and her massages made all the difference. She is VERY knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to address my issues and make me feel comfortable. Liana does the extras that others don't! On a scale of 1 - 10, she is 15! I continue to see her on a regular basis for maintenance and to address anything that happens to come up. I highly recommend Liana!

River East Physiotherapy has an exceptional team of workers! The receptionist, physio assistants and Physiotherapists are friendly and welcoming. Firoz diagnosed my hip problem and over several visit was able to restore my hip function and relieve the pain from the hip. He also provided exercises for me to do at home to help strengthen the muscles in my hip. Firoz is an excellent physiotherapist!

Julia is a pelvic health physiotherapist, she was so great, she explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable and aware of the procedure and how it would benefit me. She asks all the right questions and answered all of mine, even the ones I thought were dumb. The front counter staff were professional and kind as well. I highly recommend this clinic for all your physio needs!

My experience at River East physiotherapy is a great one! Don is very knowledgeable, kind, takes the time to go over everything I need and always makes sure I understand what he’s telling me. I had a major back surgery and I wanted to find someone I could trust with my recovery and rebuilding. He definitely won my trust. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Don!

My therapist is Don. He has made me feel very comfortable right from day one. He is very knowledgeable and explains to me what he is doing. I've had acupuncture done a few times with him and had recommended my friends that they should try it as well. The clinic is very clean and the receptionists are great as well. Thankyou Don for taking care of my aches and pains

Been fighting with some back and hip pain and called in and got an appointment with Peter. Clinic made it easy by sending all the forms online. Got everything filled out so when I walked in they were ready to work on me. Found the issue and send me my exercises on an app to work on. Very impressed with the efficient service and the paperless is a definate bonus.

I arrived (from out of province)to a friendly inviting environment which helped me relax. Don was great at explaining about my TMJ and the treatment left me feeling like I was at a spa. I was very impressed and the exercises I need to do are provided through a fantastic app with a program designed for me by Don!!! I highly recommend the service at River East!!!

Everyone is always so very friendly. Matei has been excellent in helping me with my treatment plan and explains how these exercises are benefitting me. I also like how he e-mails my new exercises after so I can continue to do them at home.Thanks to Matei I am starting to get my confidence back . The clinic is very accommadating when booking appointments.

Totally a excellent recommendation I received to see Maddy. Her insight and kindness were truly appreciated! Maddy gave me easy instructions to follow to continue my exercise at home . Access to call or email questions or concerns. I am truly grateful, Maddy gave me hope, that the correct exercise and diligence will get me back to me ! Thank you Karin

I have been going to River East Physiotherapy for quite a while, and the entire team is amazing. Reception is always friendly, and the assistants are polite and helpful. The entire physiotherapy team do their very best to help patients heal quickly. The owners are easy to contact and so easy to deal with. I highly recommend River East Physiotherapy.

My experience at River East Physiotherapy has been excellent. Firoz Mamin is kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and sincere. He pushes but not to the point where you feel uncomfortable. Reception is also friendly - booking, rescheduling, and even calling to apologize for running late, are treated with friendly professionalism. Would highly recommend.

Julia (pelvic floor physiotherapist) is amazing! Always makes me feel comfortable and checks in throughout the appointment. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her explanations have always made sense. She also doesn’t overwhelm you with a ton of exercises at once to do at home so the treatment plan is easy to incorporate. 10/10 would recommend.

Liana has been my deep tissue massage therapist for over 15 years. She is a professional and talented not just as a massage and intuitive in massage therapy. She has continually upgraded her knowledge to include a variety of massage techniques including cupping which is amazing. It does not get any better for relaxing and releasing stress.

Having tried many other solutions which somewhat mitigated the lower back upper leg pain I was feeling, I saw Don C. at the clinic upon the very enthusiastic recommendation of a friend. He assessed me as a good candidate for dry needling, and sure enough, instant relief! So happy that my chronic pain in this area is a thing of the past!

I recently decided to explore physiotherapy for issues I’ve been experiencing from old injuries. Ryan Pang has been amazing. The acupuncture seems to really make a difference from any other treatment I’ve received. His at home recommendations are also helping. He and the rest of the staff are friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

Went to River East Physiotherapy for a shoulder issue. The staff were very friendly and thorough. Had a family emergency and had to change my appointment in short notice. They were very accommodating. My physiotherapist Don was very thorough and explained all my options to get me the best treatment. Very friendly and personable

This is a good place. I’m picky and don’t give out many reviews unless there is exceptional service. Don, my physio is knowledgeable and thorough when assisting me get back to 100% after an injury. The rest of the staff also do a great job in making my experience a smooth one. Keep up the great work! I highly recommend. …

I would recommend River East Physiotherapy & Sports Fitness Clinic to everyone as my physiotherapist Maddy Lengyel has helped me immensely with different physical issues. What I love most is they take their time explaining to you what’s going on with you body. If you’re having any pain in your body give them a call.

I highly recommend Ryan Pang, he is knowledgeable and friendly. He makes me feel comfortable and feeling much better when I finish my treatment . The office is clean and professional. All the staff are friendly and welcoming,…they take good care of you! I am getting better and that makes me happy… Thanks Ryan !

I met with Maddy. She was very helpful and compassionate! She has a lot of patience and took the time to explain what was going to happen regarding my treatment plan going forward. She also provided me with an exercise plan that has helped a lot. I’m looking forward to meeting with Maddy in the coming weeks!

Maddy is the absolute bomb! Her knowledge combined with her people skills has made my appointments something I look forward to. She has put together a program that has provided steady and continuous recovery and that has allowed me to return to work. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physio.

I have been to River East Phisio in the past & have always had excellent results. Don Charbonneau was excellent! He listened to my concerns, and when it came time for treatment Don explained why and how he was going to do what he was doing. Very comfortable & felt confident going here. Great work!

I was in extreme pain and started my physio at the Rothesay location. Matei is friendly and professional and truly knows how to assess the situation and help you work towards recovery. I'm so thankful for his expertise, and I highly recommend Matei and this Rothesay location of River East Physio.

I was referred to River East Physio by my dentist for work on my jaw/TMJ. Maddy is very knowledgeable, kind and gentle. My exercise program is on an easy to app. All the other staff I have dealt with while at an appointment are very kind. I would definitely recommend River East Physiotherapy!

Ryan Pang is/was my physiotherapist and he's great. I get physio, acupuncture, gtt and within a short time was out of the sling and using my arm again! Ryan is leading my back to work program and it's going very smoothly. I have already recommended Ryan to friends and will continue to do so.

Seeing Johanna Nicholson for knee osteoarthritis and meniscal degeneration. I picked River East for the location, but am very satisfied with the care I'm receiving. Johanna seems knowledgeable and communicates well - which can be an issue with health care. Other staff are also very friendly.

I have been seeing Don from time to time for years when issues arise that requires a visit to the physiotherapist. I have always found him to be very caring, knowledgeable & just outstanding in the services he provides. The support staff I also found to be courteous and professional.

I went to seek medical help for a sore heel which turned out to be a sprain. Peter Sidhu was extremely helpful by wrapping my foot to take some pressure off it while it healed. It made a huge difference in my pain level and allowed it to heal gradually. Thank you Peter - Great Job!

Julia McDaniels is outstanding. She assesses, treats and recommends therapeutic exercises and my experience is that she gets it right. In the past she completely relieved a frozen shoulder and she is currently treating plantar fasciitis. I’m very hopeful about the outcome.

I've been seeing Don for physio off and on since I was 21, that's over 20 years! He is very knowledgeable, listens to everything you have to say and answers all your questions. He is very kind, gentle and caring. I would 100% recommend him and this clinic to anyone!

Excellent service! It is evident that they want to help their clients as best as they can. They helped me get a very quick referral for an MRI, which ultimately led to a spinal surgery that was needed. I couldn't ask for better care. Special thanks to Peter Sidhu!

Dana Bubenko gave a very useful webinar on tips to walk better after a stroke. After watching the webinar, I did the exercises with my friend and they really helped with her form in just 1 session. She was so excited and thankful to learn about these new tips!

I was treated by the lovely, professional 'Johanna'-physio therapist. She was thorough, concise in her instructions, and gentle but firm with her treatments of my painful knee. I am very pleased with the speed and progress of my recovery. Thank 'YOU' Johanna!

Physiotherapist Peter Sidhu is very knowledgeable and very good at diagnosing and explaining the problems. I have learnt so many valuable things from him that has helped me to build my muscle strength over years and I continue to do that. Highly recommend.

Not sure why this automatically said Tom, instead of Mallory. Peter is absolutely the most professional, insightful, aware therapist, and in tune to his patients. He helped to raise my confidence, which was a major part of my recovery. THANK YOU PETER!

I am very pleased with the staff here. Very polite and helpful. Firoz Mamin is a very attentive physiotherapist who has greatly helped me through my injuries to my rotator cuffs as well as my tendonitis...I highly recommend this establishment.!!

I was very surprised by how on point was Matei on addressing the issues I was dealing with. In just one session, the recommended exercises alleviated the pain that I had been living with for the past 4 weeks. I should have been there sooner.

Maddy provides a knowledgeable and careful assessment, and creates useful and doable plans to work on with her as well as good accessible plans for home use. She is a respectful and personable therapist, and I highly recommend her services.
