I had a traumatic brain injury and my progress has been outstanding thanks to the knowledge and encouragement of the staff in the clinic. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, you can really tell they take pride in their work. I would definitely recommend this location because they produce results!

I booked an appointment with Propel the moment it opened following the Covid shutdown. Having been there once previously, I had an idea of what to expect but this was pre-Covid. The experience I had from the staff here was amazing, safety was the number 1 priority and all protocols were followed without fail during my visits.

I was injured severely 4 years ago. I have needed an abundance of Physiotherapy as well as Massage Therapy. This clinic has given me by far the greatest and most successful care and rehabilitation to get back to my life. The staff are extremely knowledgeable in their field and not only treat you as a client but as a friend or family member as well. Propel Physiotherapy is an amazing name for this clinic because it has propelled my recovery! I would recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone.

Hand Therapy |Stroke Rehabilitation at Propel Physiotherapy
Decreased or affected hand function post stroke is a common issue – some more severe than others. Some people can present with high tone in certain muscle groups (in this case, wrist flexors, and finger extensors) to a point where it holds the hand in a really uncomfortable position.
