Exceptional Care with Traditional Chinese Medicine I recently received treatment from Saud Malakhail, a genuinely gifted Registered Acupuncturist (R. Ac). I approached Saud after experiencing persistent pain problems, and he lived up to all the great things said about him on his profile. He is compassionate and attentive, showing a keen interest in understanding my pain. He has a unique ability to listen actively, and he assured me that his practice could address my symptoms and the root causes of my discomfort. One of the treatments I received was wet cupping or Hijama, a traditional method he combines with acupuncture. I found this therapy exceptionally effective, and the relief I felt was almost immediate. Saud's knowledge of advanced treatment methods instilled a high confidence level in me. His utilization of techniques, coupled with thorough diagnosis, bespoke his commitment to optimal patient care. Another thing that struck me was Saud's belief in acupuncture as a preventive medicine. This refreshing perspective showcases his holistic approach to wellness and overall health. Beyond his professional expertise, Saud exudes positive energy that adds to the overall healing experience. His dedication to restoring health and restoring the body's balance is palpable and inspiring. In conclusion, my experience with Saud was profoundly positive. I found his therapies extremely beneficial and his approach to patient care to be thorough, personalized, and genuinely caring. His passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine is evident, and I highly recommend Saud Malakhail to anyone seeking a practical, holistic approach to managing pain and promoting overall health. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

(Psst, people with back pain or plus-size people, this is for you!) I *LOVE* Nancy and the team at the Spruce. Nancy is skilled, professional, patient, and always happy to listen and adapt based on my body's needs and my personal goals. The space is absolutely GORGEOUS, so wonderfully painted and full of plants, and it puts a smile on my face to walk in every time. I always feel respected and cared for, and never condescended to. Emily at the front desk is always a ball of sunshine, too! I first came to the Spruce with a very serious concern about my back health... An MRI showed a herniated disc and I didn't understand anything about the mechanics of my body, and so I'd spent almost three weeks in bed, afraid to move lest I hurt myself. But Nancy's explanations helped me understand my diagnosis, build confidence in my ability to regain flexibility/strength and heal - and two months later I am literally doing cartwheels. That's not a turn a phrase. I do cartwheels now. I showed Nancy the cartwheels I've been practicing today. Also for all my plus-size friends: This has been so far a 100% shame-free space with no comments about my body shape or weight loss. Nancy is helping me learn to move and reduce pain with the body I currently have, not an imaginary body I may or may not have one day. I really appreciate that! I recommended this place to my coworker after she talked about bad physio experiences in the past and she booked an appointment immediately. She's a dancer with a very different body shape/needs than me and she also loved it! Love this place!

I went to The Spruce Wellness Clinic following a lower back injury from deadlifting. Nancy and her team took me in immediately took and helped start with my recovery phase. I received a massage from Jordaine and he was wonderful! He's an individual with lots of passion and knowledge for his job. I'd say he could even be a PT b/c he has such great knowledge about the human body and mechanics. Nancy has been my primary contact and PT in this recovery phase and is amazing!! She is very well-versed in her trade and puts forth so much effort from start to finish. She listens to her patients, dumbs down the nitty gritty so the average person can understand, and provides such effective post-treatment exercises to supplement your sessions. Nancy also goes above and beyond to help identify your body weaknesses and helps to strengthen them to prevent further injuries. I was pretty mind blown after each session. The clinic is also convenient to get to! It's just a two minute walk to the clinic from Bathurst station, has on street parking for $2/hour from 8-4PM and later on in the evening. There is also a free 1 hour parking the next street over from Bathurst if you're just in there for a quick visit. The interior decoration is also soooo cute, homey, and comfortable! It feels nothing like a cold, doctor's clinic If anyone is looking for a new PT spot, this is the place to go! Keep it up Nancy and team!!!

Today I had my first appointment with Nancy at the Spruce Wellness Clinic. I've gone to many physiotherapists and by far, Nancy is the best. I would absolutely recommend her practice, whether you've had previous physio experience or not, an injury or just any bodily discomfort you need help with. Nancy's candid, communicative, skilled approach to both the in clinic exercises and and working with me on a holistic care plan was so refreshing and appreciated. The pre-appointment forms really got me thinking about my own health. I left the session feeling good about the state of my knees, confident that Nancy would help me accomplish my health goals. The clinic is conveniently next to the Bathurst subway station, which is a transit plus. The feel of the clinic is very unique: homey but professional, beautifully arranged and scrupulously clean. (Extensive COVID precautions taken, I felt very safe, even in close quarters). During the session I appreciated all the things in the treatment room that I could look at - there's so much visual interest in the paint job and the art/items around. Overall, I'm really glad I booked a session at The Spruce Wellness and will be returning again soon !

I came to the Spruce after my previous physiotherapist left the city, looking for someone local to work on shoulder mobility with. I was happy to find Nancy in the neighbourhood, and fortunate to have an appointment booked when I twisted my ankle just before our first appointment. She changed gears to address my injury and related knee issues - and I was very pleased with my recovery - but kept my shoulder in mind the whole time - and now we're making great progress there. I appreciate her emphasis on manual therapy (about 90% of our sessions) while taking time to explain her prescribed exercises (a realistic amount of homework), and check back on previous injuries. I also appreciate her attention to the creaks and crackles of my joints, which other therapists and movement specialists (e.g., trainers /fitness instructors) have typical dismissed. The clinic is also very well managed, clean, and - echoing other reviewers - very nicely appointed =)

I had a session with a physiotherapist Nancy last week. She is a brilliant, passionate and compassionate therapist and an amazing human being. Her warmth and understanding put me right at ease at my first appointment. Nancy has been very helpful and attentive to my back issues. She took time to listen to my concerns and developed a plan that works around my lifestyle. My lower back issues have significantly improved. I’d highly recommend. I also appreciate that the facility is very clean and ensure everyones’ safety is prioritize. I am very satisfied with the first treatment and I will be definitely coming back for more sessions with Nancy !

I been to many physio places over the years, but this was by far the best experiences I have ever had. My Physio, Nancy, thoroughly examined my foot for the source of my heal pain, explained to me in simple terms, and started treatment on the first visit. It has only been a couple of visits so far but I am already feeling much better. I have never had a physio give me one-on-one care like that. I also enjoyed the entire look of the clinic. It is very warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. I'm also looking forward to seeing Jordaine for massage and Peter for acupuncture next.

I had a great physiotherapy session with Nancy. I’ve been working off and on with her for a while and was enthusiastic about seeing her at the The Spruce. She’s a great listener, asked a lot of relevant questions, and gave me space to ask questions at the end of the session which I greatly appreciated. I also like the hands-on approach, and felt very safe and supported. Nancy provided directions clearly and simply, as well as exercises for me to continue at home and simple equipment I could get to support my issue. The space was also very inviting, warm, modern. Would highly recommend coming to The Spruce !

The spruce wellness clinic is now my new go to place for my physiotherapy needs. Conveniently located at Bathurst and Bloor, this clinic has professional and friendly staff that makes you feel welcomed. They follow strict covid protocol and made me feel safe during my visit. Nancy provided top notch treatment and helped me rehabilitate my knee from an injury I had. On top of their excellent service, the aesthetic of the clinic is beautiful with each room having an unique theme. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professionals practitioners to help with their wellness needs.

Nancy has been a huge help for my shoulder injury, she immediately identified the root of the issue and gave me exercises and treatment that helped tremendously. Nancy is incredibly knowledgeable and has created a personalized treatment plan that will help me get back to the activities I love most. I am super impressed with her extensive knowledge and treatment plan. I have also previously gotten massage therapy at the Clinic with Jordaine and he was also amazing. I cannot recommend Nancy, Jordaine, and the Spruce Wellness clinic enough.

Nancy and her team are incredible to work with and I look forward to going to physio every week! Nancy is very professional, knowledgeable and can tell she really cares about your wellbeing. I recently had an MCL tear and finger sprain and in only 3 sessions have seen major improvements so I can already start doing light physical activities even though when I started it was hard to walk. I'm looking forward to continuing working with Nancy to get back to 100%! As a bonus the clinic is a very nice and welcoming environment.

Our family have seen three of the practitioners, at the Spruce Clinic, the physiotherapist, the chiropractor and the massage therapist. They have all distinguished themselves with their knowledge & thoroughness. We continue to be impressed with the seamless competence of the administration. Appointment bookings, insurance claims and follow-up communications have been a breeze. We will continue to frequent this clinic and hope that they add more modalities of treatment at the same high level.

Nancy Lu has been my physiotherapist at my chiro clinic. She is the best physiotherapist as far as i am concerned, i have lower back issues from my previous injury work related, she does hands on massages to loosen those stiff muscles and ligaments and she makes sure that you are able follow her stretching exercises. Most of all she cares for her clients. That is why i followed her into her new clinic….The Spruce Wellness Clinic, has very cozy vibe and clean atmosphere. Love it!❤️

I've been looking for a new massage therapist for a long time - Jordaine just gets it. This was one of the best massages I've ever had. He really took the time to understand my anatomy and the mechanics of my problem areas, then he focused his attention on them throughout the session. He's really knowledgeable and thorough in his technique. I felt a lot of pain relief in just one session, I'm glad I've finally found a go-to for massage therapy in my neighbourhood.

Physio Nancy is the greatest. Nancy primarily uses hands on approach and manual therapy to release muscle tension. I always feel relieved and relaxed after each session. Nancy respects personal space and allows quiet time during session if you choose to. Love the fact that Nancy works on Sundays too. Not to mention the ladies at the front are welcoming and bill directly to the insurance. Highly recommended.

I go to Nancy for physio and she’s 10/10. I’ve had a couple of injuries over the past couple of years and she’s really helped to relieve my pain. She works so hard for the entire session and I instantly feel better after seeing her. I’m now able to continue to participate in sports and my daily activities. I highly recommend as you won’t regret this decision! I refer her to all of my family and friends.

This was my first experience with Acupuncture and Cupping. Saud was very welcoming and very thorough in answering all my questions before we started. He took his time and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The treatment was phenomenal. I felt very relaxed after the treatment. Definitely recommend and I will be coming back again for sure!

Nancy is awesome. I have dealt with chronic neck, shoulder and jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction and chronic headaches for over 15 years. Working with Nancy has provided me with consistent and sustained pain relief, which is something i've never experienced with other modalities liike Chiropractic, Accupuncture or massage. Highly recommended!

I was able to get a quick appointment with Nancy after I tweaked my back. She got up to speed with my medical history quickly, was able to provide some immediate pain relief, and also helped me address the root cause with posture tips & exercises. I'm pleased with the experience & plan to visit again for a follow up.

Obsessed with this clinic - Jordaine has excellent vibes, educates you on your body and obviously gives amazing massages. Super unique style that I love, where trigger points and range of movement are accounted for. I’m a chef so my weekly massages with him have been a literal lifesaver. Highly recommend

Great getting treatment from Nancy Lu for a wrist issue I was having. She is easy to work with, quick and knowledgeable and got me on a treatment plan. After a few sessions I was feeling the results and on track to healing and recovering. Happy to go back and see her for any of my future physio needs.

Jordain is incredible! He is very knowledgeable, kind, patient and really great to chat with. He took his time with everything and created a very comfortable environment. I really appreciated his humor, in-depth explanations and dedication to my healing. A must go for any RMT services!!

Jermaine's expertise as an RMT shines through in his attentive approach and effective techniques. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a professional and effective solution to their muscle pain. Additionally, the clinic is well-designed and aesthetically pleasing.

Great experience for my first appointment! I was running a few mins behind schedule and they were very understanding. Nancy gave me an awesome assessment and treatment with a plan of action to help resolve my pain long term. Can’t wait for my follow up!

This was my first experience with acupuncture, my doctor advised me to do it and I was a little worried, but Saud was amazing!! I really feel relaxed after one session! The clinic is very clean and quiet.

I did my physio with Nancy today, she's very detailed and professional. The session was amazing and I felt well taken care of. I'm already feeling that I found the right professional for my issue.

Had an amazing first experience with Nancy. She was professional, patient and helpful. It was an excellent physiotherapy session. Will be back again!

Wonderful massage!! Jordin helps me to relieve the tension on my shoulder and neck and it was one of the best massage I have ever got

Had a great massage with Jordaine! He’s very attentive, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely come back!

Nancy is a great physiotherapist - super thorough and friendly! Highly recommend.
