The Urban Athlete

Very pleased with Greg, my physiotherapist. He’s very thorough and always correctly diagnoses and helps resolve my running injuries.

an excellent service, Greg Cares, and is fully present, his style of physiotherapy WORKS!

The Urban Athlete is the best place to go in Toronto if you have a sports related injury. The staff at UA include doctors, trainers, therapists and specialists who are also athletes. The concept is that they can understand your challenges and your desire to get back to your chosen sport or activity as quickly as possible. Instead of coming back week after week for physio, they will try to get you fixed up and ready to compete in as few visits as possible.
I went there after 15 years of knee pain while running longer distances. I thought I suffered a knee injury in high school rugby that kept cropping up throughout my life. As it turns out, Dr Bill Wells assessed me and determined in a matter of minutes that the problem was an inactive glute median (nowhere near my knee) and was able to treat me in two visits. He performed ART on the muscle, and showed me several exercises to get it firing again. I am pleased to say that two visits and about 3 to 4 weeks of simple home exercises put me right after years of sometimes quite severe pain while running.
I’ve seen him since then for other problems with similar success.
I’ve also had a great experience with Dr Jen Castle, the resident Naturopathic Doctor.
If you compete at any level or take sports or athletic activities seriously, this is the place to go for treatment.
