 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband has a history of vertigo and recently had some terrible episodes. After a thorough assessment, he immediately felt supported with evidence based exercises and strategies that really helped. The knowledge  the physiotherapist has is exemplary. We were impressed with the support and emails with step by step exercises.  Direct billing is also helpful. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been misdiagnosed by 3 doctors and at the point of a complete breakdown. Once I met Zoe, she was not only extremely knowledgeable but persistent with her approach. I now have my life back. Don't waste your time seeing doctors...go to an expert. You won't regret it!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express how thankful I am for finding Zoe! After being diagnosed with BPPV following a hospital visit for severe vertigo, I was honestly overwhelmed and scared. Zoe took the time to explain everything that was happening with my inner ear in a way that actually made sense and made me feel so much better about it. She was patient, thorough, and tried multiple techniques to help get my crystals back where they needed to be. After just 2 visits, I felt such a huge improvement and finally started feeling like myself again. If you’re debating whether physiotherapy is worth trying, especially for vertigo, I absolutely recommend giving it a shot! Thank you again, Zoe! You seriously gave me my normal life back! Also, shoutout to Alison at the front desk! She’s so sweet, funny, and welcoming every time you walk in!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first time seeing Zoe, although my daughter has seen her in the past and she worked miracles with her addressing her vertigo, this is why I went to see her post my brain surgery. She was very thorough, professional and empathetic to what I was going through. Zoe took the time to explain what BPPV is and how she was going to test if I had it or whether it was brain related. Needless to say, it was the crystals in my right ear which she was able to fix with our initial session. Thank you so much Zoe. She also sent me a link to a YouTube video should it reoccur.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had issues with a rare case of Vertigo. Zoe took on the challenge and worked diligently with my issues. She is very educated in this field and did wonders for my condition. Zoe conducts herself in a welcoming and professional manner. I highly recommend anyone dealing with Vertigo issues to see Zoe Brown.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had undergone physio for my back and neck several times in the last 6 years with varying results. I moved to Pickering a year ago and Zoe was the second therapist I tried out. She has been nothing short of exceptional. The pain and stiffness has reduced for me significantly so much that I'm starting to feel hopeful again about my body and health, which no other doctor or practitioner has done for me in several years. She explains what is causing the problems in my body and explains what we are trying to do to fix it quite week. The streching exercises she prescribes are really effective that it no longer feels like I'm just going through the motions without any results. And when something doesn't seem to work, she's quick to present alternatives. Zoe also has a warm and welcoming personality. I always look forward to our sessions. With that said, I can finally start thinking about ending my long physio journey only thanks to Zoe.
