Zachary Hum - Physiotherapy

Zachary was incredibly helpful in assessing the root and related tension points from various football injuries, concussion, and postural fixes. His gentle testing of subtle movements seemed like magic and were very relaxing. He gave me exercises (and adjusted according to what was a reasonable week load, my laziness etc) which gave me strength to support my self daily (No more pain!) in seated and all of my physical activities. He was thorough in testing the source of tension to provide very specific exercises. I will definitely go back to him for my future injuries and pain!

I had concussion and neck pain due to fall and head injury. My family physician recommend for physiotherapy. I found Zachary by Google search. In my first session, he quickly identified the root causes of my pain. He is very kind, consent-driven, and takes time both to ask questions about how I use the body part and then to explain what he is doing, how he is treating and why. His take-home exercises are very easy, help to reduce the pain and he also makes sure that the patient understands how to do them. He provides video links which help to continue the exercises at home. My pain has been resolved in just a few sessions with him. I would highly recommend him!

Zachary is a great Physiotherapist! He uses manual therapy techniques and provides exercises to support rehabilitation on your own time. He has been instrumental in helping me to recover from an accident which affected my knee and ankle. He is professional and personable and I highly recommend his services!

Zachary is incredible at quickly identifying the underlying causes of pain (often other muscles that I never would have thought connected to my problem) and addressing them through massage and strengthening exercises. He is kind, consent-driven, and takes the time both to ask questions about how you use the body part he's treating and also to explain what he's doing and why. His take-home exercises are realistic and he makes sure you understand how to do them. My pain has been resolved in just a few sessions with him. I would highly recommend him!

I came to see Zachary for migraines and postpartum muscular imbalances. I had seen other physio and never felt like they were realistic on the goal to achieve.
With Zachary i was confident very quickly that we were on the same page.
After 4 months, the migraines are gone and I’m working on my strength with a series of simple exercises.

My experience with Zachary is amazing. He is a very good physiotherapist, he listens attentively and treats the underlying root cause. Bonus, he sends the email with exercise videos which are easy to follow:)

I highly recommend Zachary if you’re looking for a great physiotherapist. I’m so glad I found him for my recent physio needs. I had a worsening pain in my shoulder that was starting to impact my daily activities. With Zachary’s careful diagnostics, we identified multiple root causes and treated them one by one over a few months. The visits were short, and once my goal of being pain-free was achieved, we were done! I did the exercises Zachary assigned, which wasn’t hard because he kept the time commitment manageable and sent me videos that were invaluable for reminding me how to do the movements correctly. Zachary is now my hands-down choice for physiotherapy.

Zachary is an exceptional, intuitive and skilled physiotherapist! Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I highly recommend him. I have been seeing him weekly for rehab for months now. I was in an accident this year that left me with a concussion, neck whiplash and back pain. I have learned and healed so much from my visits with Zac. I love that he emails me what we went over in treatment and with videos of the exercises too. You will be in very good hands with Zac!

My sessions with Zachary have always been positive. I have been seeing him for over a year and he has been instrumental in my recovery. He is always professional, thoughtful, and listens to my concerns. His style of physiotherapy and approach to body work have been new experiences for me but ones that have supported my rehabilitation. I highly recommend his approach and supportive style.

I have been seeing Zachary for about four months now and his approach to treating my physical pain and trauma has been extremely helpful in my healing journey.

He approached my neck/shoulder pain from a holistic perspective and helped me strengthen other muscles that I never thought would be related to my physical pain. Thanks to this approach, I learned the interconnectivity between the different parts of our bodies, and was reminded about the importance of mind and body treatment as essential tools towards healing.

He is also very understanding about offering treatments in an accessible/visual way for neurodivergent individuals like myself.

I highly recommend starting physiotherapy sessions with him.

As my 10y/o son is in competitive sports, strains/injuries are a known risk factor and as such, he needs a "tune up" every now and then. I found Zachary's work hours to be the most appropriate with pediatric/school aged children (ie. 9AM and 215pm appointments!). Zachary has cured my kid's aches/strains using a family centred approach; he gathers data/collateral from my son and I using focused assessments, creates unique exercises and careplans based on his findings, and follows up with progress via next appt or email. As visual learners, I love that he allows me to record the exercises so we can optimize healing while at home. For all of my son's MSK related issues, we go to him first before seeing a doctor- this is how effective his care has been.

Five stars for Zachary who is incredibly knowledgeable, has great pedagogy, is an excellent listener and is always able to pinpoint how to fix my numerous issues after I got injured. Some of my injuries (or the consequences of) are sometimes very niche, or hard to explain, yet he always finds the sources and provides various solutions on how to "repair" myself.

I definitely recommend him if you want a physiotherapist who will take good care of you.

Short Review: choose Zachary to be your physio therapist, he is amazing at what he does.

In-depth Review: I think I (reluctantly) started going to Physio in February of this year and I’m going to be going to my last appointment in a couple weeks time. Zachary was not only professional, but also very personable. Dude is very easy to interact with and learn from. (And he didn’t nag me if I fell short on “homework” for rehabilitating my shoulder.) I’ve gone to a couple other Physio therapists and honestly, they just had me wanting to live with my injury or soreness just to avoid dealing with them. I appreciate the comprehensive emails he sends, they’re very helpful to maintain stretching and exercising at home.

Hands down the best Physio therapist I’ve worked with.

Thanks Zachary!

I really appreciate how much Zachary helped me with both back and knee pain issues over the last several months. He took plenty of time to listen to what was happening for me and then put together a straight forward and manageable exercise and strengthening plan for me. Over time, we refined the exercises as my pain issues resolved. I was also seeing a chiropractor at Tonume and Zachary was in communication with them so that my treatment plan was even more effective. I also appreciate Zachary for his willingness to answer any questions that came up for me. I would highly recommend working with him.

I had a chance to visit Zachary yesterday and was amazed an how well he blended manual therapy, corrective exercise and functional neurology work in the forms of P-DTR and NKT. Turns out I did have an issue with some cranial nerves he was able to work on that affect my daily life but I recently suffered an ankle sprain on my right foot. He was able to identify where the restrictions were in my ankle were and work on the ligaments and dysfunctional movement patterns. On top of that he also gave me some great take home stretches to make sure that the work carried on even after my appointment. Thanks Zachary!

Zachary is one of the best in the field. I have been suffering from pain for quite sometimes and magically Zachary has been able to put an end to it.

I would highly recommend Zachary as a physiotherapist. He helped me immensely with my knee issues, and his attentiveness and expertise helped me recover in record time. Thanks so much Zachary.

Highly recommending Zachary as a physiotherapist! He is very knowledgeable and approaches his treatments respectfully and with great detail. The exercises he gave me were super helpful and made a huge difference in relieving issues I was having with my leg muscles and joints.

Came for chronic neck pain, he helped me to figure the root cause, which suprisingly was due to my weak abdominal muscle. Which caused my neck muscle to overwork and tense up. Now Im not experiencing any more pain

Hats off Dr. Hum. Went in with inflated shoulder came out transforming overall body posture. Also, loved that the fact that he emails you detailed video links of different exercises that were discussed in the session.

Easily the best physio therapist I’ve been too. He has helped my scoliosis immensely in more ways than one

Zachary is an excellent physiotherapist and, more generally, is a pleasure to work with. I went to Zachary because I had developed a near constant neck pain after working from home for several months. Zachary took a holistic approach to determining the (multiple) root causes of this pain, and after working together for several months the pain has significantly subsided. Our appointments were always pleasant, and he always took the time to cover everything even when my tardiness meant our session should have ended. I would highly recommend Zachary to any friend who asks me if I know of any physiotherapists.

Zachary is a wonderful physiotherapist. I am currently pain free from a long-term injury in my knee and hip after working with him. He brings an effective holistic approach that gets to the heart of the issue. In addition to a solid grounding in traditional physio, he seems to have training in many additional modalities I had not previously experienced, which were very helpful. I have learned a lot about the interconnections between different body issues from our sessions. He is also kind, personable and patient. I have offered his name to several people and will continue to recommend him to other friends.

Zachary is a great physio. He is skilled and attentive to your needs and he will give you great exercises to practice.
