I have been making use of Propel Physiotherapy as part of my post-surgical rehabilitation over the past 9 months from an acute shoulder injury and surgical intervention. I was referred to Propel through a work colleague. From my experience now I would certainly recommend anyone looking for physiotherapy services to consider Propel. The two physiotherapists I have worked with, Alanna Holz and Reggie Ragos are both excellent clinicians who are great at listening to my feedback, progressing my therapy effectively (exercises and manipulation) and generally providing high quality care. The clinic itself is well maintained, and the staff are friendly and accommodating.

My 2 year old started walking after just 2 sessions! His physiotherapist was Alanna and she was so amazing right from the beginning. The staff is very friendly. 100% recommend

I was in a car accident in April of 2017 and although I had participated in a physical therapy program, I plateaued and saw no more improvement. I was diagnosed with post concussive syndrome and functional thoracic outlet, among other things… I was hopeless and withering away UNTIL I found Propel and Alanna. She is a miracle worker and reinstilled hope. I’ve been attending for three months and I look forward to treatment here because of the relief that she brings. She is incredibly knowledgeable and actually works alongside you instead of giving you exercises to do on your own. She’s helped with my migraine/headaches, back pain, neck/shoulder pain, neurological symptoms, and stamina. You will not be disappointed and they will certainly assist you in improving your quality of life! I am and will always remain grateful!
