He has tolerated my resistance to exercise, my whining about pain, and my irrelevant stories with great compassion. And I might mention that I was a mess when I got there - difficulty walking, carrying stuff, lots of lower back pain, etc. Through Jesse's treatments and the exercises he gave me I am now so much stronger, more flexible, more endurance, etc. He referred me to Dr Cruz who sent me for nerve tests and ultimately getting a nerve treatment. She is also a jewel, actually paid attention and figured out what was going on, in contrast to a previous physiatrist who was on auto-pilot and no help. What I like about both is they explain things in depth and clearly. I need that. Anatomical explanations on the internet are very motivating to help myself get better. read less

After 2 months of rest and chiropractic care with little to no success, I was referred by a friend to Synergy. I walked into the clinic feeling frustrated and apprehensive. The progress that I have made while working with Dylan in just 8 weeks is amazing. He has provided an amazing and successful recovery plan, and gone above and beyond by making himself available outside of the clinic to answer any of my questions at all hours. He is knowledgable, hard working and empathetic and it's obvious that he genuinely cares for his clients and is invested in their recovery. The location is excellent with ample street parking, the facilities are very clean, and the front desk staff are kind and accommodating - always going out of their way to promptly reach out if there is a cancellation or if I request an earlier time online. I highly recommend Dylan & Synergy!! read less

I saw Mitch prior to having knee surgery, and he is AWESOME!! He was able to help me prepare for the surgery by giving me some great advice. After surgery, I continued to see him, and he has really helped to get my knee back on track by working on the range of motion and giving me exercises to help regain strength and mobility. Thank you, Mitch!! read less

I was a bit worried that the trek would be difficult to complete, or cause further injury, but left for Peru with my knee feeling great and the confidence that all would be fine. Dylan was very informative and attentive, and made sure I knew he was available to answer any questions or concerns I had about my knee, especially while travelling. I also appreciated that the exercises he recommended were ones that I could easily do at home without expensive gym equipment. I was able to complete the Inca Trail without issue. Circumstance of the visit aside, my experience with Dylan and Synergy overall was extremely positive, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone 🙂 read less

For over two months, he worked with Samy Shash (at the Danforth location) to make a full recovery. From the very beginning, Samy took time to understand the injury, ask importation questions and provided answers, establish specific goals, and continually monitor the injury to help with the recovery. Samy focused on hands on therapy and always put my son's well being first. He also provided email links for an on-line app (PhysiApp) with customized home exercises, which was very helpful during the recovery process. The clinic experience was great from the facility itself, the front desk staffs, and the treatment provided. We would not hesitate to recommend Synergy Sports, particularly Samy. Thank you for the great experience! read less

He was attentive and responsive to my input, and customized my treatment based on my abilities and progress. What I most appreciated about Synergy in general, and Dylan specifically, was the range and usefulness of treatment available to me. My previous physiology clinic required me to come in for multiple visits (no problem so far) BUT I had no control over my treatment as I didn't have any of the equipment at home (ultrasound wands, etc), so my recovery was strictly dependent on my employee benefits coverage or ability pay for it out of pocket. At Synergy, I had an evolving list of exercises which I could do at home, so I had agency and control over my recovery, and as a result, was able to recover at my pace. Moving forward, I can also now maintain my elbow with the same exercises, something I was not able to do with my previous physiology clinic. Dylan was very accessible, and we could tweak my treatment via email without coming in for a visit. Can't say enough great things about this clinic, or the staff! read less

It's been intermittently nagging at me for years, but thanks to his help I now have a good handle on it. He taught me simple exercises to build the muscle and alleviate the pain. They only take a few minutes and I'm pain free. The exercises are easy to do because I can do them anywhere, even when I'm travelling, as they don't require any bulky equipment.

Knowing which faulty tendons to work on, it took us five sessions only of shoulder manipulation coupled with simple exercises to get the motion of the arm restored to almost full function painlessly. It is seldom that you find a practitioner that is not money oriented these days, unfortunately. Jesse broke that rule for he works geared with passion. You could sense that from the first meeting. He knew exactly what to do and how to do it using nothing but his skill and hands, no machines where involved short of a resistance band. He did not exaggerate the ailment or the cure to sell a product or a procedure. He recommended 6 sessions of shoulder manipulation that did the job on the fourth cancelling the fifth and the sixth.Had google allowed for a sixth star in reviews, I would gladly offer it to Jesse.Do not hesitate to pay him a visit. Worth every second of pain. Now I know where to go if and when a physiotherapist is needed. Thanks Jesse. read less

Working with Mitchell was a great experience - he is personable, professional and attentive! He immediately figured out what the issue was (my ribs had shifted out of place) and how to alleviate it. Right in time for Xmas, it was back in place and I was pain free! Since then, I've visited Mitchell for some other physio needs as well. It's not particularly close for me but I'd venture out there again. Appreciate the friendly receptionist too! read less

I happen to be a physician, and I have also been to several allied health professionals for my neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems.Within this context, I would like to say that my experience with Jesse far exceeded my expectations. The most impressive quality is his skills set in physiotherapy. Although it was not straightforward, his prescribed exercises were very appropriate throughout my dynamic recovery. Other professionals either suggested incorrect therapies or used maneuvers that were beyond my physical capabilities. Jesse intuitively understood the problem with my shoulder and I have been improving nicely under his care.Outside of this, the environment at Synergy was also conducive to my healing and recovery with pleasant administrative staff and a comfortable and clean space for therapy.Well done!! I give my highest recommendation for patients and clients to pursue treatments with Jesse at Synergy! read less
