Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres - King & Yonge

Aneeshka was amazing! I worked with her over the past year, both pre- and post-surgery for a completely torn ACL and meniscus while playing recreational soccer. This was my first major injury / surgery so a lot of unknowns for me going into this, but she was able to reassure me through her educational knowledge, dedication, and exercise planning that I would be able to play sports confidently again. She certainly took a lot of time and effort into planning our sessions, while providing me with challenging exercises that would meet my desired recovery timeline. I would highly recommend her for any and all sport-related injuries.

This is my second set of physiotherapy sessions at Athlete’s Care. This time I have plantar fasciitis and my therapist is Aneeshka Vyas. She has been wonderful, encouraging, helpful and clear on all my home stretches. Her exercises and stretches are broader than just the heel and as a result, I am feeling so much better sooner. She is great at diagnosing the problem and making decisive plans for a step by step path to improvement. I feel very fortunate that Aneeshka is my physiotherapist.

My experience here had always been amazing. The staff were all friendly, while Victoria was able to pace the treatment very well. The location is also very convenient!

Endrit has been amazing! I’m feeling so much better since beginning physiotherapy a few months ago…
Thank you for everything!

They try to do well though my goals were not the same as my physiotherapist goals. Basically we were not on the same page.

Worked with Aneeshka on a tendinopathy issue on my right elbow. She was very knowledgeable, gave me home exercises that were very easy to follow, and was flexible with providing treatment alternatives if something didn’t seem to be working as intended. With her guidance I was able to recover and get back to normal activity much quicker than expected. I’ll definitely be back to work with Aneeshka if I get injured again.

Post hip replacement surgery I started my treatment to regain my strength. Through a series of exercises and stretches over the last 6 months I have noticed an improvement in my range of motion, flexibility and strength. I couldn't have done it without my therapist Endrij.

I started seeing Endri & Matt after suffering for months with unrelenting knee pain, inflammation, and a torn minuscule. Honestly, I couldn't imagine a pain-free life.

Their treatment methods, bedside manner, and sharing of practical knowledge with easy-to-incorporate exercises have been game changers in my recovery and transitioning to be pain-free in less than a month.

They took the time to educate and show me (through simulation) what was happening beneath my leg's surface, and we worked together to create a sustainable treatment plan. We discussed and practiced different exercise options at the end of most sessions, and they made sure I ended up with only those that I could endure/enjoy. This changed my mobility and quality of life; since I could maintain my weekly exercise regime.

Aside from their professional excellence, their humanity, empathy, and wholesome discussion offered in our sessions gave me the much-needed hope to embrace my treatment and be encouraged through the challenging moments of my recovery.

I cannot sing their praises enough and am happy to recommend them to anyone as stellar physiotherapists who care about the whole life cycle of your treatment and mobility beyond their sessions.

Thank you so much, Endri & Matt.

I have nothing but good things to say about Athlete’s Care. The staff are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. In particular, physiotherapist Endri Ulaj and his assistant Matt have made dramatic improvements to my range of motion, strength and pain reduction. I appreciate not just the results but the fact that they take the time to explain the cause of my discomfort and how the exercises assigned will address it. My quality of life is markedly better because of them!

Aneeshka is a fantastic physiotherapist! She has been instrumental in helping me rehab a long-standing shoulder injury that has restricted my physical activity for years. I credit her deep knowledge, patience and motivation in helping me regain strength and flexibility in my shoulder again. I would highly recommend Aneeshka to anyone looking for a physiotherapist!

Endrit and his associate Matt, work very well as a team. After my doctor's referral, Endrit took the time to assess and explain my injury, and recommended and implemented a treatment plan, supplemented by home stretching and exercise that resolved my pain and mobility in short order. Matt was also instrumental in demonstrating and coaching me in the proper technique to use for my "homework", which I feel was also critical to my healing process. Have recommended to both family and friends. Great guys!

I cannot say enough about the best Sports Medicine Doctor in the city—Dr. Chen—who is all ease and friendliness, as well knowledgeable and comprehensive. I come out of every appointment knowing more about my body and how to future-proof it in all athletic activity. Dr. Costa also has an excellent bedside manner. I've been to more than a few Sports clinics in my day and this is the best one with the best staff, top to bottom.

Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres is the right place to be for all your sports medicine needs. I was referred to Dr. Howard Chen way back in 2013, and I haven't looked back. His depth of experience is evident in the efficacy of the treatments he prescribes. Dr. Chen has helped me resolve numerous issues, from acute and short lived issues, to chronic and persistent injuries. During these past six years, while I've been dealing with a complex series of lower body injuries, Dr. Chen's care, compassion and understanding has meant the world to me. It's been frustrating, sure - but we didn't give up, and I am doing so much better now!

I've also had the good fortune of being treated by Dr. Marcus Jansen (chronic shoulder injury) and Dr. Beverley Chow (chronic pelvic dysfunction) - their expertise have helped me manage chronic conditions, and bounce back.

Time may be unforgiving, but life doesn't have to be. Getting back to the best version of ourselves is possible, with the right help. Athlete's Care is all that and more!

Great center, wonderful experience from start to finish. Appreciate Aneeshka Vyas, combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. Knowledgeable, sensitive, and motivational. Prior to starting the program, I was unable to walk, stand or sit for more than 20 minutes at a time due to herniated disc degeneration. When I first arrived there, I was filled with desperation. However, she gave me a great deal of confidence and motivation right from the start by clearly explaining my current situation and her strong belief that if we follow the program properly, I would make significant progress. Her words motivated me greatly, and I felt reassured that she knew what she was doing. We followed a well prepared program that was adapted in a timely manner to reflect my progress. And, after around four months, I had made a complete recovery thanks to her. Highly recommended!

I went to Athlete's Care after a bike crash messed up my hip, thigh and lower back three months ago. On the first visit, after the assessment was done, I got some treatment, which included my first experience with acupunture, that eased the pain and gave me surprisingly increased movement. It was a huge relief. I had been so sore. Subsequent treatments and exercises have got me back in the swing of things. A huge thank you and shout out to Endri, my physiotherapist!

Endri is a great physio, providing helpful treatment as well as explaining the problems and the best solutions. I originally went to Athlete's Care because of an achilles injury and have since recovered, and received treatment for knee and hamstring issues which have helped tremendously, and allowed me to stay healthy and continue training with my track and field team. The receptionists at the front are also lovely and always helpful.

I've been seeing Endri Ulaj for physiotherapy and am so grateful for him and the treatment that he offers. His manual therapy and accupunture treatments are one of the most effective treatments I have ever had. Every time I leave a session with him I feel like a new person. He is also very warm and an amazing human being.

I have been seeing Endri off and on for probably 2-3 years with various different injuries most recently a shoulder surgery. I have unfortunately had lots of physio over the years and Endri is definitely one of the best. He is a great communicator, takes pride in what he does and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

I have had multiple injuries over the years which caused pain and swelling. Victoria, in a matter of weeks, not only repaired the damage but had me up and walking without pain. Thank you Victoria and Athletes Care staff for all you do.

Gopika has been absolutely amazing. She created a treatment plan aligned with achieving my goals, and was friendly and positive every week, and made me feel very comfortable. The administrative staff are friendly and helpful. All in all it's a really positive environment to receive treatment.

I really recommend victoria as your physiotherapist! She is very friendly, attentive, and patient. We set a goal at the beginning of the sessions and we worked together to achieve this goal. I saw results and in a few months, I will be back to my sports thanks to her.

Endri is an unbelievably awesome physiotherapist and person. What I love about Endri is his palpable passion for his work and his innate curiosity. It’s clear he enjoys the puzzles that the body presents and putting together the pieces, driven to learn and never leaving anything amiss during treatment. His clarity, presence, confidence and supreme care he shows in every moment make going to our sessions such a wonderful experience and something I actually really look forward to! Also the work he did on my legs and the exercises he gave me allowed me to continuously train for my marathon as planned and crush it with no injuries! THANKS ENDRI

I had a great experience! Aneeshka helped me with an injury, she was super professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The staff is very helpful and always greet you with a smile. Super recommended!

I completed a physiotherapy program here after having partial tears in my ankle. As someone that has seen close to a dozen different physiotherapist for various other injuries while playing sports, Endri is by far the best physiotherapist I have come across.

He is highly knowledgable and his physio program helped me get back to walking within a few weeks. His exercises are perfect and every appointment he took the time to explain complicated medical concepts in a manner that was easy for a non-medical person to understand. He genuinely cares for his patients and HIGHLY recommend him.

Not just an adjustment. My chiropractor identified the imbalance and treated it using acupuncture.

The doctor i saw is never available for follow up. This place is nothing to do with athletes care its like a doctor office where they refer you for xrays. Follow up takes too long. Doctors always going on vacation. You need a stable dedicated staff.

I have been going to this location of Athlete's Care for several years for various issues and have been treated by various physiotherapists and chiropractors there. All the professionals there are excellent. I am currently seeing physiotherapist Victoria DiSabatino and she is great! In addition to being very friendly, she knows her stuff and is very good at what she does. I started seeing very good results for my issues after just a couple of sessions with her. She is always on time, which I appreciate. She is also available via email to answer any questions in between sessions. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Victoria D.has been a pleasure to work with. She made a real effort to understand how my body was feeling/moving at every appointment and was quick to adjust the treatment/exercises accordingly. She also maintained and kept focus on my longer term goals and overall health/strength. I came to her with various issues and even had new/unrelated issues pop up while seeing her. She managed all of them smoothly. On top of that, she was very easy-going and friendly, with many conversations resulting in some pretty good chuckles. Great job, Victoria!

The ladies at the front desk were also all excellent and very friendly. Smooth interactions every time!

Thanks to Victoria DiSabatino! I had sprained my ankle badly for the first time ever and she helped me get back in action in no time with her amazing exercise techniques. Other than being an amazing professional, she constantly motivated me for things I wouldnt have considered otherwise. Highly recommended for those in need.

Very good experience with Endri so far. I am so happy I stumbled upon their services. Within 2 weeks I feel better and have better gait. My lower back was tense from sitting with bad posture for a year or so. I will continue to use their services.

Endri is a great at what he does! I had a great experience with him during my treatment. He was very knowledgeable, always taking the time to find way to help me heal better and constantly offered support through my program.

I had a wonderful massage with Marguerita at this location! I am picky picky when it comes to therapists, but took a chance with a new masseuse and was pleasantly surprised with my treatment and results afterwards. She is lovely and a great listener on needs!

I was suffering from pain that prevented me from performing my normal weight-lifting routine, so I started seeing Endri for physiotherapy.

Endri is very thoughtful in the way that he approaches treatment. He doesn’t use a “one size fits all” approach, but instead he will consider different treatment options as appropriate for the injury, including as the injury changes. I appreciated this about him, as well as his positivity and encouragement. I was beginning to feel demoralized by my injury, and he kept me moving forward.

In addition to being a great PT, he’s also a good guy. I’m glad that he was around to work with me!

Went to get a massage here for the very first time. The employees at the front desk, Angelie and Nicole welcomed me right when I entered, they knew what they were doing and was really helpful. I had a lot of questions about the form and they answered everything that I was confused about, on top of that they even continued to talk to me until it was my time for a massage. I am normally quite shy and have a hard time talking to people, but they were really easy to talk to. During the massage Marcel, my registered massage therapist, was very nice and kind, he made sure that I was confortable during my massage and asked me to let him know if the pressure he used was too much. There was a lot of questions I wanted to ask Marcel but the massage felt really good that I was unable to talk at all, even when he asked me questions, I was unable to give the entire answer that I wanted to say because the massage was really relaxing and calming. The entire experience was very satisfying and stress free, starting from when I first arrived to when I left the place. I would highly recommend booking an appointment here for a massage if you ever need one.

Visited because I was having a horrible lower back pain and had a few PT sessions with Victoria DiSabatino. The therapy worked like magic and I was up and running in two weeks. Victoria has been very helpful and all the strength training exercises and stretches she recommended have helped a lot. The rest of the staff is very friendly and kind as well which makes visiting this place a great experience!

If I can give this place, and specifically Endri, 20/10 I will do that. Hands-down Endri is one of the best in the field - very professional, knowledgeable and very carrying to his clients (something that you can’t easily find nowadays). I went there with extreme pain and inability to move normally - the pain had me very nervous and cautious to do anything. A few sessions with Endri had me start lifting heavy with zero pain! He clearly understood what was wrong, came up with a plan and was very carefully to make my recovery as painless as possible.

Recently started having bad back pain and was recommended here by my doctor. Such a great decision! Victoria has been a lifesaver. She really listens to your issues and helps get to the root problem. The exercises she suggested had me starting feeling better in a few days. Highly recommend here.

Tried to book an appointment to see a sports doctor but due to “company policy”, the clinic wouldn’t let me book the next available doctor because I had seen a previous doctor at the clinic in the past year for a completely different injury.

Dr. Davor Cepo is one of the best Chiropractors ever! Thorough, knowledgeable and SO on point! He should be teaching at every university in the city! Love Athletes Care!

I’ve had plantar fasciitis for more than two years. They’ve taken me from outright shooting pain in both feet to running again for the first time in years in less than three months. I would recommend Melissa or Gita any day of the week.

It was my first time working with physiotherapist and I worked with Endri Ulaj. He is a really good specialist, definitely a master in his field. He took a good care of me and after all the procedures it felt like I was never injured.

Excellent physio- highly knowledgeable and helpful. Haider managed to actually fix an issue I’d been having for more than 9 months. I would highly recommend!

The Staff at this location are kind, patient and helpful. I worked with Haider, who was an excellent Physiotherapist. I had excruciating pain in my lower back for years which limited my capacity to participate in physical activities, such as running, weight lifting and playing basketball. I tried many other therapies and nothing seemed to do it. But after working with Haider for just 6 weeks, my pains slowly began to decipate and today I can fully participate in the aforementioned activities.

Haider was extraordinarly comprehensive and methodical with my routines and training, it is his understanding of my personal injury that allowed me to be physically active once again. Many thanks to Haider for all his patience and for his geniune care of my health and well being.

All the best,
Jonathan

I have been going to see Endri at Athletes Care for over a year now. He provides top of the line service and has always been open to show me the best exercises to stabilize my shoulder. While Endri is a relatable individual and I really enjoy my monthly appointment, his professionalism and knowledge is what stands out. Would definitely recommend Endri for anyone that has shoulder issues!

Aside from Endri - the staff at Athletes Care are amazing! The front desk check-in is quick and easy and the email receipts so it's easy for me to submit insurance claims and is better for the environment.

Endri is the man. Done ACL reconstruction recently, he is very freindly and knowledgeable. He knows what he is doing. I'm confident that he will get me where I want. I will update my comment once I'm back to soccer

I have been going to this location of Athlete's Care for several years for various issues and have been treated by several physiotherapists and chiropractors there. All the professionals there are excellent. I am currently seeing physiotherapist Endri Ulaj and he is great!

Haider was very knowledgeable about my shoulder injury and provided excellent care that had my shoulder feeling better within a few weeks (very quick!).

I injured my lower back on the "job" and I was skeptical to try another physiotherapist that will most likely put a heating pad on my lower back and tell me to take it easy… (thanks tips), so I didn’t have high hopes however I gave Athlete care center a chance and met Endri.
Endri took the time to understand the demand of my “job” and what it entails. Endri suggested acupuncture and explained the health benefits. I wasn’t a fun of being poked with a bunch of needles and putting an electric current through it however I yielded.
Within 2 months I started to see results and all thanks goes to Endri.
Endri is my go-to guy whenever something isn’t feeling right in the body and he always delivers without skipping a poke.

Super group of professionals! In just a few days I am feeling relief from a chronic nerve pain in my leg. Endrit has been treating me and his easy personality and communication skills are helping me both physically.and mentally.

I've been doing physio for my shoulder (rotator cuff tear) and SI joint with Haider Tirmizey and have noticed a huge difference in a short time. I've worked with many physiotherapists over the years and find Haider has made an incredible difference. His integrated approach to acupuncture, ART, and physio is a great way to get fast results!

Great professionals here and the clinic has an online systems that allow you to book your appointments online. Michelle is an amazing massage therapist that doesn’t keep chatting during the whole session and she can identify where your pains come from and give you stretching instructions. Jim is a great chiro as he’s been able to fix some of the pains I’ve felt for so long.

Great spot with great professionals. Frances Leung is a bundle of positive energy and encouragement that really helps shift mind and body to heal whatever injury you have.

The King St.location has great hours and is conducive to living and working downtown. I recovered well after physiotherapy at Athletes Care and have recommended them to friends. The therapists used several different modalities which worked really well for me.

Endri’s my physical therapist at Athlete’s Care and he has been absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend their services.

I’ve always had a positive experience with everyone at Athlete’s Care. Endri Ulaj is my physiotherapist. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of the treatment of my ankle injury. He follows up before and after every session and answers any questions that I may have. Endri has made me feel confident with the progression of my recovery. I’m very pleased with the physiotherapy I have received at Athlete’s Care.

I’ve been a client of the Athlete’s Care Sports Centre for about 5-6 months. After suffering with flat feet for years, if not decades - I was about to give up on any hope of ever being able to correct and fix this issue. I’ve tried multiple types of treatments and orthotic devices - with very little success.

It wasn’t until my Athlete’s Care Sport therapist Endri Ulaj intervened and started to address the direct cause of a lot of the pain and discomfort I’ve been experiencing over the years. His innovative and effective treatments, and really targeted diagnostic skills - resulted in almost instantaneous improvement, both in terms of pain reduction, as well as the rebuilding of the arches in my feet. The results are truly impressive, and I would quickly refer anyone to the centre and Endri.

The Athlete’s Care centre offers a central location for anyone working in the downtown core, and they use a lot of state of the art equipment and diagnostic technology. It’s great seeing the use of tablets and other visual modelling to show patients exactly what is causing their specific pain or challenge.

I highly recommend Endri Ulaj - and would gladly refer him to anyone looking for a talented and well trained physiotherapist.

I had to see a physiotherapist last week and was booked with Frances. Thank god I was. She worked magic on my lower back and hips. After only one session, I could walk with no pain. She is so caring and personable as well. Thank you Frances!

I highly rate Haider Tirmizey's work. Professional, knowledgable and thorough. He will take the time to work through your symptoms and ailments and break it down for you in a way that will allow you to take home the information so that you can progress on your road to recovery.

Dr. Ho is super. When you play sports, sooner or later you may get injured. Dr. Ho has been fixing me for the past 3-4 years. Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. Strongly recommend.

I've been to this clinic before and satisfied customers always return.
Endri was my physiotherapist and helped resolve my knee issues. I recommend him/the clinic to all my co-workers that need. Endri is very knowledgeable, insightful and added bonus, very pleasant to be with. He offered great advise and had some great tips and tricks which have really come in handy.

I have been going through physiotherapy with Endri at King & Yonge for a month and already noticed a lot of improvement with my movement. He takes time to understand the injury, explain the details of what affects it, and provide complex treatment. The front staff is also nice and friendly.

Endri is a great physiotherapist! He really knows what he's doing. I had some neck and back issues. He made me feel alot better and was very kind and professional. I would Highly recommend him. Thanks Endri:)

Doctors and physiotherapists for all types of body injury issues. Highly professional personnel.

Insanely disappointed at the lack of organization and customer care. I called at 2pm the day before a 10: 30 am appointment to confirm the time as I had not heard from the clinic. When I called, the man who answered the phone said "oh ya, your appointment is cancelled, unless you want to do a virtual one". I was stunned. If I hadn't called, I would have showed up from out of town for my appointment. I have been waiting to find out if a surgeon thinks I need knee surgery and have been counting down the days to be consulted. The excuses given to me as to why I wasn't called were pathetic. I do not recommend this clinic to anyone; if they can't even figure out scheduling appointments, I wouldn't want to trust them with anything more.

I’ve been working with Endri for about 6 weeks now and he’s been a fantastic physiotherapist. This is my first time going to physio and he always takes the time to explain everything, make sure I understand it, and that I’m comfortable with each step. We’ve made a lot of progress on my issues and I would absolutely recommend him.

The clinic itself is really conveniently located on the PATH and their online booking system plus digital receipts make things easy for me.

I cannot say enough about the best Sports Medicine Doctor in the city—Dr. Chen—who is all ease and friendliness, as well knowledgeable and comprehensive. I come out of every appointment knowing more about my body and how to future-proof it in all athletic activity. Dr. Costa also has an excellent bedside manner. I've been to more than a few Sports clinics in my day and this is the best one with the best staff, top to bottom.

Conveniently located in downtown. Endri was my PT. He did a good job, to get my strength back on the knee muscles. He went into the cause and help to find a solution. Very straight forward and professional. Extensive knowledge and update to date with the latest techniques. Highly recommend Endri to anyone who requires an exceptionally great PT.

Linda is the best Physio Therapist I’ve ever had. She’s friendly, nice, and most importantly, knows her stuff. I love everything about this clinic, the service is phenomenal, they’re always on time. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone I know.

After five month of unsuccessful physiotherapy, I was referred to Athlete’s Care where I was assessed and treated by Endri. In a month he was able to help me recover mobility of my wrist with proper guidance and understanding of the injury. He took the time to explain in detail what was happening and explored different techniques to try and solve the problem.

I’ve been here for treatments on my knee (torn ACL and miniscus) and separately for back issues. The physiotherapists have been professional, caring & patient with me everytime I’ve been here over the years. The front desk staff are cheerful, professional and so pleasant to deal with every visit.

Visited chiropractor for initial assessment
He didn't ask or try to find out root cause and just started acupuncture left room for 15 mins comes back does stretches, tells me few exercises and appointment was done. Final bill $120. It was barely 10 mins of efforts for 45 mins appointment.

They are super helpful and prompt getting me an appointment (especially on an hour or days notice, when I’ve injured myself and I’m look g for some help).
Jessi has been integral in my recovery when it comes to some injuries I incurred from running- he’s been knowledgeable, and provided excellent advice, and physio therapy to speed up my recovery. Thank you to Jessi and the team for making recovery much easier than it could have been!

Very knowledgeable, very efficient. Therapist's (Mark) goal is to make me feel well and pain free. No unnecessary appointments. Therapist is working only with me.

I was referred to AC for physio/ orthopedic surgery consulting after struggling with Plantar Fasciitis in both feet for almost a year, and going through every other suggestion that other referrals had made (Orthotics, passive therapies, etc.). I couldn't be happier with how things have gone over the last several months with Endri!

I had figured that surgery was the only option left, but he took a more active and multi-faceted approach, and we worked hard on the multitude of causes that can lead to PF. The improvements were almost immediate, and we gradually moved from multiple visits per week down to one, and I'm happy to be back to where I was before.

Endri, my physiotherapist, was very knowledgeable and professional over the course of my treatment. I would recommend him and Athlete's Care to anyone who wants an accurate diagnosis from a team of professionals who genuinely care. Thanks Endri for helping me recover from my summer injury!

I’ve had a great experience at this location. I saw a sports medicine specialist, Dr. Chen, and he was able to offer some very accurate insights and treatment for my problem. I since, have been seeking physio treatment at the same location. My physio practitioner, Endri, is quite knowledgeable, skilled, and efficient. He’s been able to help me greatly. I’ve had many mediocre and okay experiences in the past in some other clinics but my experience at this location has been sensational and I highly recommend it.

I've been coming to Athlete's Care for a few months now. Working with physiotherapist, Endri, has been a great experience! He is very perceptive, patient, attentive and, along with Dr. Presvelos, finally figured out what was going with me and put me on an effective treatment plan. The entire staff at the clinic is super friendly and helpful and make my appointments much nicer than previous experiences elsewhere.

First time at Athlete's Care for my thumb and foot injury and Haider Tirmizey was excellent. He provided the right treatments and exercises that worked for me. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend him as well as this location - great staff!
