First time appointment today with RMT Taylor. I was very impressed; she took the time to review and assess my needs. Very friendly, polite, professional, knowledgeable and… a great sense of humour. Their facility is overly exceptionally clean. They take the Covid protocol very seriously hence I feel very comfortable going there. It’s only been approximately two months since I starting attending Moveo, but it feels like I have been going there for years.

I love going here for my Physio! Georgina is very accommodating and welcoming with a big smile. Rob is very smart, knows his craft and bonus he is actually funny. I have seen so many physio but so far he is the “BEST”!! . I highly recommend Moveo.

This clinic is top notch. I’ve had both RMT and physio treatments at this location. Rob (PT) is very thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor (the accent is dodgy 😉 ! Megan (RMT) is fabulous – her technique is great and she has a very caring approach. The receptionist, Georgina, is lovely,…very friendly and welcoming. The clinic is bright, clean, and has top of the line equipment. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for treatments.

Excellent clinic. From the moment you walk in, to the moment you step out the door you will have nothing but a positive experience. My daughter and I see Richard one of the RMT’s and he is incredible. Extremely knowledgeable in way of injury rehabilitation! I have recommended many people to Richard and they have all had great experiences.

I have been fortunate enough to be receiving well needed Physio treatments from Rob. He is totally amazing, very knowledgeable, up on all the latest techniques, and professional to name a few attributes. Another employee with a great sense of humour!! Rob incorporates a variety of treatments that are specifically geared to whatever is needed to enhance one’s healing.

I’ve been seeing Dr Turner for years and there isn’t anyone else I would trust more with my health. This is a fantastic facility with very helpful front end staff that.
