For the last 10 years, I would deal with the consequences of chronic knee pain and fibrosis. It got so bad it would even hurt with a light jog or long walks at times. I've seen many physiotherapists, but Rachel Varga stood out. She explained the approach she wanted to take, and it was consistent with everything I was feeling and observing with my own body. Some tips were even opposite of the advice I got from other physiotherapists! But it worked, and finally, after many failed and frustrating attempts at recovery, I've made significant improvement. It improved where I have zero pain with everyday activities and only slight discomfort during high-intensity sports. I'm staying consistent with the workouts and will continue to work with her until I can take my physical abilities to the next level. I will update this review when I get there. P.S shoutout to the office staff at Synergy, who are great to work with. This includes Linda, Gab, and everyone else that makes scheduling appointments easy and pleasurable. They're a great team! read less

I was pretty nervous to get treatment during Covid but Synergy was a great experience. Synergy really takes a client first approach, I felt safe throughout. They implemented a lot of steps to minimize contact and were able to balance that with really friendly staff and top notch service. With the treatment I received from Rachel I recovered quickly and was back running in a matter of weeks. Would highly recommend Synergy. read less

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Convenient location near transit and fairly easy to find paid street parking. Covid precautions are all in place making in-person visits feel safe.

At my consultation, I told him I intended to return to competitive sport despite this injury and he worked with me to get to that point. As a medical professional myself, I appreciate the evidence-based approach Dylan takes to rehabilitation; as a human, I appreciate his encouragement and kindness. Every session was useful and necessary. I felt that he factored in my lifestyle and schedule when we decided on realistic goals and assessed my progress.All of the other staff I interacted with at Synergy were friendly and professional, from the receptionists to the other clinicians I'd pass in the hallway. I frequently refer my patients and even family members here for physiotherapy. They deserve all of the accolades they receive. read less

He takes the time to go through the explanation of his philosophy of treatment, the intention behind each of his actions, and the mechanics/focus behind each prescribed treatment/exercise. This was very important to me as I like to learn about my body mechanics and matched with my long term goals of ongoing maintenance.- Tailored treatment to patient goals. At the assessment, he asked me what my goals are and I told him, "I don't want to have to think about it." This was regarding my lower back pain and not wanting to have it limit my movement or exercise. Throughout the treatments he kept this in mind, reiterated my goal, and reaffirmed my progress towards that goal. Made me feel that his treatment of me was 100% tailored to me and my concerns and not a set general prescribed treatment for low back pain.- Strong and careful with his treatment. I am average height and 180 lbs, at no point did I feel uncomfortable or unsafe in his hands. He was always ready to scale things according to my comfort and readiness. - Genuine care for overall health. He took the time to get a detailed picture of my daily movement and requirements always keeping them in mind. Even in casual conversation he remembers his patient's as individuals and links their daily lives and personalities to their treatment.- Great communication. Each session is followed by a detailed email with great reminders regarding treatment and exercises prescribed and accompanying visual aids for new exercises. He is also very good at responding to emails for questions, concerns, etc.- Detailed and demonstrative. He goes through a great explanation of each exercise to give me the why, how, and look fors. Demonstrating each exercise before asking me to try it. He provides modifications as needed and is very cognizant of what you have available in your space to complete your exercises.- Overall, he's a kind, patient, and very capable PT whom I highly recommend. read less

The entire staff here are friendly, professional and really want the best for you. Over the last few months I was with Dylan. He is incredibly caring and he wants to see you improve. He provides carefully guided instruction with at home exercises (they are emailed for convenience ) and uses his physiotherapy training to help you recover from whatever injury you have. From a few months ago till now, my shoulder injury is a thing of the past and I feel way more confident thanks to Dylan and his excellent work. Overall a 10/10 location. read less

After four months, I decided to see a physio at Synergy, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I started my treatments with Dylan, who is one of the most knowledgeable physiotherapists I've ever met. But Dylan's practice is not only steeped in sound scientific studies; he also deeply cares about his patients so much so that he once hand-delivered a physio aide to my door. Even when I was recovering from my surgery, Dylan checked in on me to ensure I was recovering as optimally as possible. If you're ever wondering if you should see a physio, just go see Dylan at Synergy. read less

Their office is friendly, warm and welcoming. Dylan was the main physiotherapist that I worked with as I recovered from both a broken wrist and a frozen shoulder. And wow!!! He was fantastic!! I have worked with physiotherapists before but with Dylan I felt that I was taken care of as a person and not just an appointment. I trusted Dylan's support, experience and advice. During each session and each new exercise, Dylan would walk me through and teach me "how this bone was connected to this bone" and "how this muscle works with this muscle" as well as honestly tell me how each exercise/technique was going to feel or work. He regularly follows up and never gives you an exercise just for the sake of giving you an exercise. Thank you Dylan and Synergy for all your support! read less

I was assigned to Dylan out of pure luck, and over a few months of working hard and sticking with my exercises I can lift/wave/dance and do many things that were unthinkable a few months ago. Dylan is kind and patient and would find accommodations when something wasn't working for me. He followed up with me regularly and made sure I felt supported on my rehabilitation journey. 5 stars all the way! read less

He planned out an appropriate approach to manage the reoccurring hip and lower back pain, at a pace that was right for me. Samy was really good at explaining why/how my body was working - or not working so well. He was thoughtful and thorough in each appointment which was much appreciated. As a result, I have made very good progress. Samy will continue to be an important health partner for me should I require more physio in the future. Furthermore, the reception at the East end office was always friendly and efficient - a nice welcome every time. read less

Dylan was outstanding in working through my pain issues and understanding the mechanics of what was going on. I was tired of going to physios and simply being wired up to machines and a few paltry exercises in the gym mostly unsupervised. Dylan worked through an excellent program with me over two months that I was able to do at home. It did take some personal discipline but the dividends were huge. Knee is stable again and no pain and best of all back to playing with my son in the school playground and helping him with his rugby drills with complete confidence in my knee's stability. Would recommend Dylan and his team again in a heartbeat! read less

Dylan always explained the 'what' and the 'why' behind my rehab treatments and exercises, and that made me actually DO them at home. The clinic is bright, clean and well run. The online sessions with Dylan (due to COVID) were effective and worth it. I'm working out, biking, and healthy again. Highly recommend Dylan and Synergy. read less

Samy has introduced me to a variety of exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the knee, as well, he has done regular stretching and massage to help with my knee's range of motion in order to get me back in the game. Samy is very professional, good natured, and very good at listening to all your whining & complaining without judgement. I'd highly recommend Samy for anyone with an injury who wants to get back at your regular activities as soon as possible. With a little work an a lot of patience, you'll be good as new! read less

Dylan managed to help me with a plan that allowed me to continue training, but implemented exercises to keep me safe and hurry recovery.

Not only is the injury treated, but I was able to train consistently throughout the process, and am ready for the comp. Highly recommend, and will be sending my other athletes his way! read less

I was always in a cycle of working out, showing some improvement, hurting myself, and then reseting my progress after having to take time off from exercise. I'd seen a physiotherapist and chiropractor in other locations, but never saw any permanent improvements.I've been attending physio appointments from Samy Shash and the improvements have been immediate. I have a weak back, and Samy focused on strengthening other muscle groups so that my back would not be over-compensating as much. In the last 6 months, I've seen a huge improvement in my workouts, haven't hurt myself, and have been able to start exercises that I was too scared to try before. read less

He took great care listening to what I'm trying to achieve. I really cannot recommend him high enough. After just a few appointments I saw a significant improvement. And after a few months, I'm practically pain free and also regained the lost mobility in my shoulder. Samy absolutely deserves 5/5 stars. I'm here giving 4 out of 5 stars for a couple of other reasons. The prices are expensive ($85 for 30 minutes). I also found my interactions with staff at the front desk were sometimes unnecessarily complicated. I can't quite nail it down, but my interactions always felt rather "scripted" and "corporate". It might also be worth mentioning that google reviews are strongly encouraged and curated (by signs at the front desk and personal e-mails). Fair enough, but you might need to adjust your priors accordingly if you're using Bayesian statistics. read less

I’ve dealt with injuries and minor illnesses, and can work through most things, but last winter when I slipped and fell and heard a “pop” in my left shoulder, so began a journey that simply pushing through it, was not going to work.It was the skilled staff at the West and East end of Synergy that were able to rehabilitate me. Dr M. DeHaan, Dr R. Awan preformed the initial assessments and referrals for imaging, so that the frozen shoulder and 60% tear of my left supraspinatus were confirmed. Dr L.Cruz administered the intracapsular ultrasound guided injection that started to “thaw” things. This was clearly a clinic that knew how to deal with my type of injury and lifestyle.But it was Jesse Awenus, the west end Physiotherapist that I spent the most time with. From the beginning he was thorough, professional, and could understand my goals. Being able to track my Range of Motion improvements through each session was important for me, and something Jesse did at every session. Understanding what Jesse was doing with me, and the exercises he had me doing was clearly explained, demonstrated, and followed up with emailed video links. Amazing service.I was very pleased with the service from Synergy, from the admin staff, Dr’s, and Jesse. I highly recommend this practice to anyone with shoulder injuries, based on the treatment I received. read less

He not only challenges me and makes me work hard, he is very encouraging at the same time. He has also provided me with an app so that I can exercise at home. The app offers videos and instructions and allows for me to make notes about my progress. It astounds me that Samy has contacted me at different times when he has had concerns about my notes. That is above and beyond what I expect.When he was on vacation, I saw Mitch Starkman who was also incredibly knowledgeable and as caring as Samy.

On the highly endorsed recommendation of my spouse I booked an initial appointment with Dylan. Dylan provided exactly what I needed; cutting edge knowledge & expertise in the field of physio-therapy; active listening to my description of initial and subsequent symptoms/progress; and clear communication, demonstrations and same day follow-up on a tailored, stepped exercise program that was tweaked on a weekly basis. At all appointments, Dylan did a fabulous job of answering all my questions in layman terms, didn't over-complicate the subject with med-speak, provided very valuable insights into my particular situation, not to mention the industry as a whole, and ultimately, put me in the driver seat of controlling my recovery. In just a few weeks Dylan had me back to where I was pre-renovations.

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.

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

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 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

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!!

In January, 2019, I broke my left foot and right ankle, with subsequent surgery and three months in as many hospitals. I initially planned that, upon release, I would return to my regular physiotherapists, but their clinic was fully booked. Rather than wait, I went instead to see Mitch Starkman of Synergy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. (He had been recommended to my son by our family doctor.) This was the lucky part of my accident. Mitch is remarkably skilled. He has six years of university (RPT, MScPT, HBSc [KIN], Cert Sport Ad); no assistant, and provides hands-on treatment. I am stunned by how much he has accomplished, as have I, in only two weeks. And he not only has my feet to work on, but also my back and hip, which have been compromised because of my accident. Mitch is incredibly skilled; professional, and has comprehensively answered all of my questions. What I love too, is how warm he is. Always pleasant and optimistic, he makes me feel as if one day I’ll not only walk skilfully again, but with enough effort I just might fly. So seldom in life do we come across people who are able to fulfill all of their promises and who at the same time provide honest answers. I am so grateful to have found someone I have complete faith in. If this review seems long, it is because I cannot recommend Mitch highly enough. Jennifer Coffey read less
