Propel is a friendly and professional clinic with a bright, open atmosphere. I’ve appreciated the wholistic approach to my physical rehabilitation that takes into consideration the contributions that mental/emotional elements have on overall physical well-being. The online access to my prescribed fitness plan and exercise videos has also been a nice bonus. Highly recommend Christine and Propel for any physical therapy.

My husband has been receiving physiotherapy treatments from Propel Physiotherapy in Peterborough for several months and it is thanks to the great clinicians there that he has progressed so positively following a very serious illness. Very understanding, respectful and professional organization. David and his team are the best and I highly recommend them. Thank you Propel Physiotherapy!
