EXCELLENTTrustindex 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.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at McKelvie is a delight to work with. Very professional and always ready to greet you with a smile. Their technical expertise, genuine interest in caring for their patients and friendly demeanour has made them the best choice for my whole family.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zoe was great. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her to friends and familyPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was struggling with post-viral neuritis and Zoe was able to get me back to my normal within a few months. I know that sounds long, but I believe it would have been even longer if it weren't for her. I've seen quite a few physiotherapists for this issue and not many are truly qualified to diagnose and treat issues related to the inner ear. Look no further because Zoe is the person you will want to see for any issue related to the vestibular system!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve visited McKelvie Physio throughout 2025 for regular physio care, and working with Zoe has been nothing short of exceptional. She takes the time to understand what’s actually going on with your body, explains things clearly, and builds treatment plans that genuinely work. My shoulder and posture issues have improved more here than anywhere else I’ve tried, and every session with Zoe feels grounded in real expertise. The clinic is welcoming, professional, and incredibly well‑run. Best physio in Pickering without a doubt!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I no longer have the walking issue, thanks to McKelvie Physio. Best Physio in Pickering and highly recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After only two treatments I felt significantly improved balance and equilibrium, Zoe is amazing!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Zoe for a while now, and I can honestly say she’s made a huge difference in my recovery. Zoe has helped me with knee pain, a hand injury, and more recently, some back issues. What I really appreciate is how well she explains everything; she makes sure I understand what's going on with my body and what we’re doing to fix it. No question is too small for her, and she always takes the time to answer everything patiently. On top of her expertise, Zoe is also a fantastic conversationalist! During treatments, we’ve had some really interesting chats on all sorts of topics, which makes the sessions feel even more personal and comfortable. It’s clear she genuinely cares about getting people better, not just rushing through treatments. I never feel like just another patient; she always makes me feel heard and taken care of. I’m really grateful for all the progress I’ve made with her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a skilled, caring physiotherapist.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
