See how The Physio Approach can service you.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, experiencing chronic pain, or looking to prevent future injuries, we have the expertise to help.
We work with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals.
Manual Physiotherapy
Experienced Physiotherapist, specializing in hands-on techniques accredited by the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy , will accurately diagnose the root cause of your injury. Advanced mobilization/manipulation and Active Release techniques will be used to treat your dysfunctions.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
Sterile, single use, fine filiform needles are inserted into the body to treat the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. This is a drug-free technique that stimulates the body’s own natural healing process by promoting blood flow, release of endorphins and reducing muscle tension.
Sports Physiotherapy & Rehab
For all levels of athletes (professional, amateur, weekend warriors), returning to your sport at peak performance is priority. Specific, tailored exercise program following a detailed functional assessment will be designed to promote and restore movement, and empower you to live your best life.
Pre-Operative & Post-Operative Rehab
The Physio Approach will guide you step-by-step on your journey to recovery. We will work alongside your medical health team to ensure you receive the proper education and rehabilitation to fully restore your mobility, strength and accelerate your return to activity. We will empower you to take your health back into your own hands.
Virtual Physiotherapy
This service remains available for those who continue to feel uncomfortable with in-person sessions. Assessments and treatments are performed through videoconferencing technology. We utilize a platform that abides by the Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), maintaining confidentiality and security of each session.
Custom Orthotics & Compression Socks
At The Physio Approach, your orthotic technician is an experienced Registered Physiotherapist who will accurately assess and diagnose your condition. A custom foot orthotic will only be recommended if the findings from the assessment indicate biomechanical correction of the feet can help with your pain and function.

Client Testimonials
Had neck and shoulder pain. Took several visits to have the pain subsided as expected. Alphonsus is very friendly and easy to talk to. He is also very helpful by providing some excercises to help ease the pain. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Stan Tran
Neck Pain Treatment
Alphonsus is a wonderful physiotherapist. Not only did he resolve a very large strain in my neck and shoulder in two sessions, but provided me with tips on exercises to do at home, and has followed up through email with any questions I had for him. Throughout our sessions, Alphonsus was talkative, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Nikolas Koschany
Neck Pain Treatment
Alphonsus is THE best physiotherapist around. It took me years to find someone of his calibre. I moved to Montreal a couple years ago and literally go out of my way to come see him whenever my back injuries and sciatica flares up. He has additional training in acupuncture and physio massage techniques, which makes for a super comprehensive session every time!

About Alphonsus
Alphonsus graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology before completing his Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Queen’s University. Through postgraduate continuing education, Alphonsus achieved his advanced manual therapy training to become an FCAMPT (Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy). This is the highest level of training in orthopaedic manual Physiotherapy in Canada and is internationally recognized.
As an advocate of continuing education, Alphonsus has taken numerous postgraduate courses. Being certified in Acupuncture (CAFCI) and Integrated Dry Needling (CIDN), Alphonsus has found the benefits of incorporating this in his manual treatment approach. He has also received training in Active Release Technique (ART®), Functional Movement Systems, McKenzie Institute training for Spinal Dysfunction, Mulligan Mobilization with Movement Concept, Sport Kinesiotaping, and Custom orthotics. The skills and knowledge learned from these courses enable Alphonsus to adopt a comprehensive treatment approach to rehabilitation.
As a further testament to his commitment to lifelong learning, Alphonsus is also involved with academia. He is a Clinical Educator with the UofT Master of Science in Physiotherapy Program and a Clinical Instructor for Physiotherapy students completing their internship with accredited universities. He is also a mentor with the Orthopeadic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and University of Western Ontario for Physiotherapists pursuing their FCAMPT designation.
Alphonsus is a firm believer that movement is fundamental to maintaining optimal health. To stay active, he works out and strength trains. In addition, he is an avid golfer and enjoys playing competitive softball and football. With over 10 years of experience treating active individuals to professional athletes with varying injuries, Alphonsus has the expertise and confidence to tackle any problem.
