Park Lawn Physiotherapy

The best physio anywhere You get personalized one on one attention. Darren is fantastic and knows exactly what is needed to build strength and resiliency. This guy is amazing I always leave feeling 100% better than when I came in! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Thank you Darren for you hard work and patience!
The follow up exercise app is incredible and so easy to use!

I have been going to Parklawn Physio for a while now and my physiotherapist, Michael K has helped me with my injuries ranging from minor or major sport injuries. The exercises Michael gives me after a session always work and speeds up the healing process significantly. Michael is outgoing, approachable, kind and as a 15 year old being able to laugh with your physiotherapist, it eases the tension.

Both Nakita and Michael, who worked with me over several months were excellent. I have nothing but praise for the entire team.

I had a great experience with Nikita.
She was in depth and really seemed to care about getting me as close to 100% as a collarbone shatter can.
I would very much recommend this Physiotherapy.
And thank you so much.

I came to Park Lawn Physiotherapy for some help with a stiff/sore left foot. Plantar fasciitis with residual right hip pain from overcompensation.
I found Michael Kabemba. And thank goodness I did!
Michael is a thoughtful listener and realistic treatment specialist! After an initial assessment and some first treatment, I left with a confident plan in place.
He gave me a reasonable guesstimate on how long he thought treatment would take (if you do the exercises!) Remember, physio isn't a quick fix.it takes repetition, skill and a plan. Michael has all of that.

His treatment was great, pushing in areas of need and going easy on others. He even managed to treat my foot even though I'm exceptionally ticklish!

Beyond magic Mike, the facility is clean and tidy. Pillow covers were changed between each client and tables wiped down.

I was emailed links to my exercises in case I forgot after I left.

All in all I'm super glad I have Michael on my team and will head right back to see him when something else goes awry.

Thanks Michael!

I came to Darren looking for help managing my vertigo. He was great! Very friendly, professional and thorough. Strongly recommend!

When I first went in to see Darren at Park Lawn Physiotherapy, I was in bad shape. Poor mobility, flexibility and overall bad/sore feeling all-around. In less that a year, Darren has helped me turn that all around. He showed me exactly what exercises I needed to do, put together a schedule for me to follow and emailed me the exercises to do on my own. In a short while I felt better and I continue to improve. I'm extremely satisfied with my results.

I’ve worked with Darren since April 2022 (almost a year!) for 2 soccer-related injuries: an ankle sprain and a more severe achilles tendon rupture. Darren has always been professional, knowledgeable and extremely friendly throughout our time working together!

With advanced treatment techniques (heating, massage, ultrasound, electroacupuncture) and sticking to the exercise plan he prescribed daily/weekly, we were able to hit our goals and get myself back to running ~6 months post-injury (achilles rupture non-surgical) and sport-ready condition within ~8 months. During this time, we have a session on average every 1-2 weeks.

From being in a cast/immobile to now running, it's honestly hard to believe! I am so grateful to have found Darren for my recovery process and I highly recommend working with him for any sport-related injuries. Thank you so much Darren!

I was referred to Park Lawn Physiotherapy by a friend who had received treatment from Darren Noriel in the past, and am so glad I decided to book an appointment for my back injury! Darren was very knowledgeable, attentive, and built a treatment plan that was personalized to me and aligned with my lifestyle. Darren often asked questions, assessed my progress, and adjusted my treatment plan based on my recovery goals. My back feels much better! Thank you Darren for your constant motivation and thoughtfulness. I will definitely be returning for any follow up sessions in the future.

Park lawn physio is a very clean and well kept place. I received treatment from Michael and he’s very professional and thorough with his explanation. I noticed immediate relief after my visits. I would recommend Park Lawn and Michael K.for anyone.

I did pelvic floor therapy with Anna during my pregnancy. Anna was able to help me with several issues I was experiencing, as well as prepare me for labour and delivery. She is thorough, gentle, and very knowledgeable.

I can't say enough great things about Park Lawn Physio! I've been to both Nikkita and Michael when dealing with different injuries. They are phenomenal. Most recently I had extreme pain which I thought was a lower back inquiry, however Nikkita took the time to examine and explain that it was hip related. She offered great treatment that got me to improve significantly from my very first visit, as well as offered helpful tips and exercises I could do at home. I definitely recommend their services.

Thanks to Michael, I was able to recover from a serious hamstring strain and get up to speed for my next race. He gave me challenging stretches to strengthen my muscle, and treated my hamstring with ultrasound and electrotherapy. I went from having difficulty crossing the street to running 10-mile training runs. Thank-you, Michael!

Great location and great staff. My therapist Michael K.is very knowledgeable and generous with his time. Explained the purpose of every exercise and took the time to educate me on how to best rehab my injuries to stay active for a lifetime!

I came to Park Lawn Physio after working with my previous clinic for roughly 5 years. I have been dealing with problems from DDD and Sciatica for awhile and was pretty frustrated with the lack of progress I was seeing. I was also having to miss out on all the activities I love doing like Hockey and Golf. I started working with Nikita at Park Lawn Physio in September and have been back swinging the clubs already. I am on track to get back on the ice in January as well and my sciatica pain has disappeared. Can't recommend this place enough!

I had never experienced an injury requiring physiotherapy treatment before. When I was looking for a highly rated clinic this one stood out. Not knowing what to expect, from day 1 it matched the ratings I read online. My injury was from falling off a bike and tearing tendons in my shoulder. The treatment provided started to work the first week. Darren Noriel has helped me gain back my mobility and and strength. This clinic provides personal workout plans and shares them directly through a web based portal with instructional videos. Payments with insurance plans are hassle feel. Would highly recommend this place.

Anna Dec was my physiotherapist at Park Lawn Physiotherapy. I was referred to this clinic by my doctor at the women's unit at Mt. Sinai hospital for pelvic floor physio. This in one of those things that no one talks about but most would benefit from. After a few months of working with Anna it has made a huge difference for me. Anna is very professional as a health care provider. She works with you to make sure you are comfortable and is very knowledgeable in assessing and making a rehab program. I would recommend Anna based on my positive experience.

I had severe calf strain which Darren helped me recover from. He is very knowledgeable and professional and great service overall.

I have been working with Pelvic Floor Therapist, Anna, for a few months now. When I came to Anna I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. Anna took the time to listen to my concerns. She educated me on pain and helped me gain confidence to start becoming active again. Four months later and I'm more active than I've been in years. I understand much better now how my body and brain deal with pain, and I'm less afraid of being in pain and more comfortable with managing it. I'm so grateful that I found Anna and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate therapist who is truly dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals!

Anna is a very caring person who makes every effort to help me lessen the pain from a recent fracture and gain mobility in a natural way.

Worked with Darren for a shoulder injury. Location was nice and clean, and had proper equipment to work with.
The exercises were thoroughly explained and can be accessed through their app which is useful when referring to the exercises outside of the sessions.

I’ve been seeing Michael Kabemba for a few months due to pain in my neck from bad work posture. He is extremely knowledgeable in multiple aspects of physiotherapy. Michael uses multiple techniques to make sure I am getting the most out of my appointments. He answers any questions I have about treatment, and provides great education about the actual injury as well. Highly recommend seeing Michael for any issues!

Darren has nursed me back to health on multiple different occasions, from a hyper-strained groin from doing sprints, all the way to complete rehab after a motorcycle accident. I can't thank Darren and the Team at Park Lawn Physiotherapy enough! Highly recommended!

Park Lawn Physiotherapy is the place to go if you are local or worth the drive to get support from. The staff is always upbeat and welcoming. Darren one of the physiotherapist there is amazing. Already with two issues that I have had, Darren was able to create a plan and walk me through all the routines and getting me back to health. I will continue to go here for all my physio needs.

Had the opportunity to work with Michael Kabemba. This guy is the absolute best! I needed physio for a shooting pain between my shoulder blades and moving up my neck that made looking down very difficult. I was concerned. It was a combination of terrible posture and weight training. Michael was very thorough and methodical in his questions and took the time to listen. He then had me work through several movements and exercises to get a more exact idea of what is going on. He then provided a few key exercises to rehab the issue and to strengthen both my upper back and neck. After 3 sessions, I actually felt better than before the injury- so more than 100%. He’s very calm and approachable.

I’ve been working with Darren for a few weeks now for my ankle and hip. He is very knowledgeable and helped diagnose the issue and recommended exercises that were quite helpful in strengthening, eliminating pain and fixing incorrect posture. He is patient in explaining the details. I’ve seen quite an improvement in a few weeks and will highly recommend Darren. Park Lawn Physio is at a great location, is clean, quiet and they bill my insurance directly which makes this experience even better.

Michael has been an excellent physiotherapist. Good follow-up and always willing to adapt technique and explain the movements. Helpful emails with exercises to follow up on. Would highly recommend.

Micheal K was professional and helpful. He was always on time and the facility is taking all required covid restrictions. Appreciate you!

I came to see Anna for tendinitis in my wrist and shoulder during my post partum recovery. Anna listened intently to my concerns and how I was not able to do basic movements. She understood how challenging it was to get exercises done at home with a new baby so she created a plan that set me up for gradual success that included hands on therapy treatment during our sessions. The exercises were always updated after each appt to get me to the next stage. She would tweak and assess my range and listen to my feedback about the smallest or basic thing I couldn’t do. This attention to detail fits my personality and how she really listens and thinks quickly on how to improve that function further. I cannot express how happy that I’ve been seeing great improvement in my range of motion. I thought I’d be in pain for a long time but her assessment plan has been thoughtfully created and maintained with her attention to detail, focus and manual therapy that aids in my long term recovery.

Very pleased with Park Lawn Physiotherapy. Many thanks to Zlatko, who with his very knowledgeable skills, helped me with my back problems.

I went to Darren for vestibular rehab after suddenly developing vertigo and within just a couple of weeks my symptoms had drastically decreased and I was able to start feeling comfortable doing normal activities again. After just a few more weeks, I was fully recovered! Darren was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to and during the pandemic was honestly one of the best parts of my week to get me out of the house and chatting with someone new. I absolutely recommend him and his team for whatever physiotherapy needs you require!

Darren was terrific! From the initial thorough assessment to his ability to dynamically adapt treatment during the program, my experience was top-notch. I especially appreciate his clear communication style and the way he works through functional challenges. And my knee has never felt better!

I have been working with Darren for several weeks now. He’s engaging, professional and knowledgeable. I have noticed a marked difference in my arm since the sessions began. He has been providing treatment and evolving my stretching/exercise plan as I progress. I highly recommend him and Park Lawn Physiotherapy in general.

Had an awesome back rehab. Came in like I was crippled and they gave me the resources and therapy to get me back on my feet feeling better than ever. I thank the team for making that happen. Ill definitely use their services in the future.

I highly recommend Darren at Park Lawn Physio. He was very attentive, always considering both my short-term pain relief needs and long term goals. He took time to answer all my questions and explain how my body works so I could better understand how to help myself. And most importantly he was highly personable.

Front desk service was very friendly and made it an upbeat, happy environment. My physio Anna went above and beyond and helped me get rid of a hamstring issue and in fact help make the muscle stronger than it was before. She took the time and care to find the best way and to help. Thanks. I highly recommend Parklawn Physio.

I'm old-school, if I get hurt "I'll walk it off and it will fix itself" but that wasn't the case with my achilles this time. It took a few days of hobbling around before my wife forced me to get it checked and she booked me a physio appointment. I went in with a hard head and came out looking forward to my next appointment. It's been a great experience with Darren, going from hobbling in to my appointments to leaving my appointments drenched in sweat from squat jumps and lunges. Once again, my wife was right.

I injured my shoulder a few months ago and started working with Darrien. He is kind, understanding and so easy to talk to. With all of Darrien's help and encouragement, my shoulder is feeling great! The team at Park Lawn Physio are very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Darrien to anyone!

The whole team was empathetic, attentive and adaptive. And went above and beyond to help navigate my insurance claims, given the trauma involved with my accident. Would recommend.

Darren was great. I came to him with two unrelated issues and he helped me to take care of both. He showed me exercises and made sure that I follow the program. I would highly recommend Darren. If I ever need another physiotherapy I know where to go and who to see:)

Great place for your all your physiotherapy needs. The physiotherapists are very professional and friendly and really helped me heal and got me back to feeling really good again.
Asha at reception is a ray of sunshine and keeps the place running smoothly.
I would highly recommend this clinic.

Unlike Focus Physiotherapy, they are excellent. After my bad experience with Focus who value money more than seniors with OHIP coverage (see my review a week or so ago), Queensway were very receptive and gave me an immediate appointment. I'm grateful for the professional and humane attitude of all the staff especially Allison & Elaine.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

I have began seeing Darren Noriel a few months ago for a quad strain. I found him attentive and very easy to talk to, and as a result, we began addressing all of my other long-neglected issues and treating those as well. He seems to genuinely care about his patients, and their needs, and will work within their comfort levels. I work weird hours, and Darren has always been very accommodating with his schedule. I've had other physiotherapists, and Darren is by far the best. He continues to learn new skills - like acupuncture and massage techniques, to better help his patients get healthy and pain-free. Thank you, Darren, I appreciate you.

Had a great time working with Zlatko, very professional and welcoming. The location is great, with a lot of side street parking. All staff were friendly, and warm. Thank you for the service.

I've been coming to see Z for physiotherapy for a long time now and each time I come to the clinic it's a great experience! The front desk is always friendly and calls me by name, and Z always gives exceptional care. He's now helped me overcome injuries with my neck and back, and provides great insight on how to improve my health overall. The facility is great also, with lots of different types of equipment to meet my needs. Would highly recommend!

Have visited a physiotherapist before but the service I received at Parklawn was so much better than I could have hoped for. Great personalized exercise program that increased in intensity as my injury healed. Kept me totally engaged. Loved the app which tracked my progress too. Recommend highly.

Professional, informative, and provided me with lots of resources and options for recovery of low back injury. Darren provided a holistic assessment and really helped realise how I can adjust my day-to-day movement to improve my injury. Great experience!

Staff are very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Park Lawn Physiotherapy to Friends and Family.

I have been seeing Darren for physiotherapy treatment for the past few months as I was dealing with a groin injury. His professionalism and knowledge helped me understand my pain and injury and how it was affecting me. Darren provide treatment and exercise plans to help me heal. He has also helped me to understand that rest, diet, stretching and exercise are very important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and also in how to avoid future injuries.
Thanks Darren for your help with my recovery and getting me get back on the ice and to playing hockey.

Darren was extremely thorough, very informative, and made me feel at ease throughout my session. What he does more than most other physiotherapists is really take the time to walk you through your diagnosis - by helping you understand your injury better, you’re then able to understand the rationale behind the assigned exercises, which will subsequently speed up your recovery. Highly recommended and will continue coming back!

Nice space set up strictly for Physiotherapy. Great empathetic service from the front desk and the physiotherapist. I love that they send your program with videos in an app that lets you track progress and pain.

Felt comfortable from the first moment I walked in. Friendly, knowledgeable and caring staff get to know you and your needs. Darren got my knee and lower back to a better place and I can continue doing the exercises in the comfort of my own home.

Darren was very knowledgable and helpful with my knee and shoulder pain. He was very professional and asked a lot of questions to really understand where the pain was coming from and how it was affecting me on a daily basis to provide the best treatment and exercise plan to improve both areas. By my last treatment, Darren had helped me understand how to continue strengthening these areas post physio, and how to avoid re-aggravating them in the future. I would absolutely recommend visiting Park Lawn Physiotherapy, thanks Darren!

Darren was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The assessment was thorough and helpful for understanding what issues led to my injury. Great initial experience and highly recommend.

Zlatko is an amazing Physiotherapist. He's very knowledgeable and genuinely cares to get you back on your own two feet. The space is very nice and well maintained. A good variety of equipment to help recovery. Highly recommended!

I am so appreciative to the whole team at Park Lawn Physiotherapy! They provide a professional and caring place to help people heal, with a very knowledgable staff of physiotherapists. Thank you for everything.

Having never seen a physiotherapist before, I was a little apprehensive to seek help with something that felt as insignificant as nagging neck and shoulder pain. Once there, however, all of that hesitation was lifted as I found that I was treated with the same level of professionalism, concern, and desire to treat and fix my chronic pain as anyone else that passes through their doors, regardless of how "big" or "small" their injury is. Nicole is an amazing professional that was highly attentive to my needs and was able to help me to be pain-free only weeks after my first treatment. Highly recommend Park Lawn Physiotherapy.

Zlatko is amazing. Impeccable physio service and highly knowledgeable. I looked forward to every visit. Everyone there (Justin!) was great. Moreover, I felt their kindness, calm energy, and professional bedside manner was beyond reproach, and helped me greatly with my condition. Thanks, guys! 6 stars:)

I have had nothing but positive experiences and outcomes with Zlatko and his team at Park Lawn Physiotherapy. He is effective and efficient and provides physio in a comfortable manner and environment. Zlatko has helped me with post-fracture recoveries and also repair of muscle damage. He provided exceptional results in all cases.

Amazing customer service. Justin took my call and found a space the very next day making room in an already busy schedule, just to help me out with a spontaneous pain in the neck. Emailing the intake questionnaire made it super easy when I came in for my appointment and Nicole P.sorted me out with compassion and expertise. I would recommend Park Lawn Physio to family and friends. If you're hurting and need physio, go there!

I found this clinic after 2 months of unsuccessful treatment elswhere.
The reception staff are pleasant and efficient. I always get reminders of my appointments which is appreciated.
Zlatko is very professional, knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. He immediately diagnosed my condition, explained it clearly and devised a very effective treatment plan using manual therapy, laser and electric stimulation. At each appointment he asked questions to update and adjust my treatment if necessary. I've been dealing with neck and shoulder nerve injury for the past few months and my condition improved tremendously in only 2 months of treatment with Z. I am finally pain-free and able to enjoy life again.
Highly recommend this clinic.
Thank you so much Z.
