Active Health Institute

My experience has been nothing but positive! I have struggled with back pain for a very long time, and thanks to Dr. Hemstocks help I have finally found some real relief! She provided me with a very thorough explanation of my pain (very appreciated!) and tailored a program for me that has helped strengthen my supporting muscles.

Dr. Franco Vincelli is the best, he's very friendly and personable. And he's always flexible to my schedule as best he can.

For some years, I've been treated by Melissa Arlotta at Active Health Institute, for various injuries and I have always been impressed with her knowledge of anatomy and the ability to diagnose my issues and plan treatments. I have nothing but praise for Melissa and the folks at Active Health Institute. Thank You!:)

The treatments receive by chiropractor Dr. Laurel Pauli have definitely improved my condition of osteoarthritis in my knee. I couldn’t be happier with the change I experience from stiffness and pain before the treatments to more flexibility /mobility and and ease of movement after a session. She provides you with a personalized program and offers a few treatment modalities including acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr. Pauli.

Melissa Arlotta at Active Health Institute is amazing! She listens to her patients and takes a holistic approach to treatment. She is very knowledgeable and explains treatment and exercises very well. She is very encouraging and patient. Highly recommend!

I find Melissa Arcotta to be the most knowledgeable, skillful and caring therapist I have had through many years of looking for pain relief. I credit her with keeping me mobile in spite of my health problems, Jennifer Tait

Dr. Pauli has been a great help. I was nervous, having never seen a chiropractor before, but she quickly put me at ease. Dr. Pauli worked within my comfort level, took time to listen to my concerns, and got me back to the gym quickly and moving pain free.

Melissa Arlotta is an amazing physio therapist. She has helped me overcome a few issues. She not only works on the affected area, but she goes the extra mile to figure out the source of the problem. I recommend Melissa to all my friends and family.

My family and I have been clients at AHI for years. After being seen by many professionals, my son was lucky to get an appointment with Melissa. This was a game-changer in his martial arts journey! She figured out his issues immediately and brought him to tip-top shape for his Junior PanAms Games in Brazil. Since then, Melissa has treated me for many injuries as well. She never rushes the treatments, is always professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients.
I have recommended AHI, especially Melissa, to many of our dojo members. They all love her, and we can see progress with their injuries on the mats.
So if you are looking for somebody who cares and will help you through your pain, don't look elsewhere!

Dr. Franco Vincelli, at The Active Health Institute, is an excellent chiropractor. He takes time to listen to his patients’ needs before each visit and changes his plan accordingly. I have had different issues with my back and hips and he has made so many of the symptoms disappear. He and his staff are friendly, accommodating and get to know their patients. His schedule allows for before and after work appointments. I have already recommended Dr. Vincelli to my family and friends.

I am a regular patient of Dr. Laurel Pauli, she is an exceptional Chirprator. She doesn't rush treatment and goes above and beyond to work with me to help relieve my pain. She is one of the best chiropractors I have seen. I would recommend her to anyone who has any sort of neck and back pain.

Scott is a quality physio. I went through 10 before trusting my care to him. I have a background in kinesiology and former varsity athlete and other physios would restrict care to ensure additional visits. Not Scott he knows his audience and will cater care to his patients.

All the staff at reception are warm and friendly whether answering the phone or greeting you upon arrival! Dr Franco Vincelli is an amazing health practitioner! Truly the best I’ve ever dealt with! As a former professional football player I’ve dealt with a lot! What sets Dr Vincelli apart is his efforts to treat the cause of what’s bothering the patient and not just the symptoms. Unfortunately this is quite rare in this day and age! I would recommend Dr Vincelli and Active Health Institute to anybody & everybody!

Attila has been great in helping me get back healthy for hockey, after I re injured myself he looked at what we can do better the second time around to ensure I come back stronger then when I left. He’s a great guy to talk to and is up to date on all new and innovative forms of therapy.

Attila is an extremely knowledgeable Physiotherapist whose modern take on treatments and exercises to heal a double shoulder injury is unlike any other therapist. I tried two other clinics as well as PRP, but until I started doing the recommended exercises that Attila recommended, I saw no improvement. It took a lot of work on my part, but I can honestly say my shoulders are so much better than they were and things such as just sleeping and doing activities no longer cause me pain.
I‘d highly recommend Active Health Institute, a very knowledgable staff who really care about your well being.

I have visited AHI over the years due to several sports injuries. The team’s attention to detail and professional advice has been 2nd to none and helped nurse me back to good health numerous times. Very good experience!

Had a massage therapy appointment with Melanie Swain recently. She's incredible, very thorough and patient. She'll walk you through any pain or issues you're having to help support your recovery. She also followed up afterwards with additional information which was super helpful!

I have been using AHI for many years now and recommend it to everyone. My many sports injuries have led me here. My physiotherapist and I realized that “I’m built like an athlete but NOT meant to be one. ” Oh well, I’m back again!

Dr. Vincelli and his staff exemplify active health. Appointments are always on time, and the facilities are state of the art.

I attended the Active Health Institute for Physiotherapy and was treated by Jacob. I can't recommend him highly enough! He is knowledgeable, friendly and thorough in his action plan for my recovery. He listened attentively and accurately diagnosed and treated my pain, helping me recover and improve in a short time frame. Thank you very much!

If you're looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Leonardelli and Active Health Institute are exactly where you need to be. Dr. Leonardelli uses her sports background and a hands on approach to help me recover from day to day issues, as well as issues I've been experiencing for years. I can recommend her enough!

I have seen both Dr. Leonardelli for Chiropractic care and Attila Bajus for Physio. Both are great at what they do and are extremely professional. I really like that they share information about their patients so they are well aware of your other treatments and have also been able to recommend treatments that are complementary to one another.

Dr. Leonardelli's approach to chiropractic care is top notch. She was able to pin point the reason for my back pain with just looking at the way I stand and has given me exercises and techniques to manage that pain and correct my posture. I continue to see Dr. Leonardelli for maintenance on a monthly basis.

Attila was able to help me get back to climbing after two elbow injuries. I not only was able to get back to climbing, he gave me various exercises to make me even stronger. Attila takes the time to explain your injuries, how your body works and how to avoid future injuries.

During this pandemic, Active Health Institute has taken all the necessary precautions and put the proper protocols in place such as adding extra time between appointments for cleaning, asking patients to come only a couple minutes early to avoid people in the waiting area, a covid-19 screening questionnaire in advance of arrivals and ensuring masks are mandatory.

Definitely some of the best in the business! Dr. Leonardelli (Chiropractor) is exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled and personable. She truly cares and always goes above and beyond in her practice. I would definitely say the same for Sarah Niemi (RMT). Truly grateful to have found these top-notch clinicians.

I am new to Active Health Institute. The reception area is spotless and the ladies at the reception desk are very friendly and kind. Covid safety protocols are in place from the moment you enter the unit, to inside the individual patient rooms and the gym section.

I came in because of extreme shoulder pain and on the recommendation from my family doctor to seek out physio therapy. I met with Jacob Wasilewski. May I say that this young man put me at ease from the get go. He takes the time to ask questions about me and then determines possible behaviours that may have contributed to my shoulder injury. Through exercises suggested by Jacob, I can say that the shoulder pain is at a minimum. It has only been 3 weeks. Jacob takes the time to get to know you and makes you feel like you are important. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone who needs physio.

Dr. Christina Leonardelli is an outstanding chiropractor. She is friendly and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs chiropractic help.

I came here for a wsib shoulder injury and saw Scott Hamlin for a few months. I can’t say enough good things. He had a very practical approach to physio. Worked with me to adjust exercises I could or couldn’t do. Helped me develop an exercise plan that matched my schedule. He was great to talk to, cared, and never made me feel rushed. I don’t even know how long and appointment is supposed to be he seemed to just take as much time as was needed. I will definitely be back to see him next time I hurt myself

Great physiotherapy services is provided by Scott Hamlin at Active Health Institute. Thank you for your support to help us to get back in shape and to regain our quality of life.

Dr. Cristina Leonardelli is wonderful! My first visit was actually for pain in my shoulder and wrist, and most recently for back pain. I really like Dr. Leonardelli's approach, in addition to the adjustments she applied electroacupuncture to key areas and sent me home with specific exercises that made a huge difference! I highly recommend seeking Dr. Leonardelli's help!

Covid protocols in place. Questionnaire in advance of arrivals masking always in place. Admin sits behind a plexiglass shield.

This is a great physio center, Simone was fantastic, and really knew how to help me. This place has a very friendly feel to it.

I have been going to the clinic for 5 years now and have seen multiple providers within the facility. Each of my experiences have been extremely positive and have had a tremendous impact on my overall health.

The clinic is beautiful and soothing. A very professional space with a highly skilled team of professionals.
