\u2013 Denise S<\/p>\n

My treatment was specifically designed for me, everything was explained in great detail and all the exercises were not only shown to me but I also did them with their watchful eye to be sure I was doing every movement properly. I am so much better now and truly appreciate their dedication to my specific needs
\u2013 Sharon A<\/p>\n

Ashley was very good with me. She listen to my concerns and we worked from there. I would recommend her to anyone
\u2013 Cheryl Y<\/p>\n

I started at Okotoks Physical Therapy Ltd. after having a Complex Knee replacement. At this point my leg was still swollen and I needed a lot of help to show me how to get it working again. Neil is a very patient person\u00a0 and over the time I was going there I learned about \u201cno pain no gain\u201d, and you have to really push yourself through that pain and stiffness to get to where you\u2019re leg starts to feel comfortable. Thanks to Neil, walking comes easy now and my hubby was so looking forward to the day when I could go for walks with him and our dog\u2026\u2026 woohoo we go out a few times a day and it feels so good! Neighbours commented on my progress, and it was very encouraging. Now it\u2019s 12 weeks since my surgery and I walk comfortably with no crutches or cane. (I still do my exercises)
\u2013 Sandra T<\/p>\n

Ashley was patient, gentle and very professional in her treatment of my shoulder post-surgery.
\u2013 Adam<\/p>\n

Ashley is simply amazing. She is very experienced and has a calming demeanour. She spends the full amount of time listening, assimilating and assessing and then communicating a plan of action. She has helped with a long-standing issue where other specialists have not been able to
\u2013 Ben W<\/p>\n

Been treated by Neil for work injuries and he has help me so much. Highly recommend him, he is amazing!
\u2013 Ashley G<\/p>\n

My family and I have received wonderful care from Neil and his staff. Neil is very knowledgeable about so many things that help with your therapy and recovery of your injuries. He is really good with children as well. He shows wonderful patience with kids and also listens to them when they have questions and concerns about their therapy. The staff are awesome as well, they are very personable and friendly. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone!
\u2013 LeAnne K<\/p>\n

I cannot recommend Neil and his team highly enough, 5 stars will have to do. The care I am receiving is top notch\u2026 The clinics eclectic philosophy is demonstrated with each visit and the results using a combination of traditional and complimentary therapies are evident as we see the improvement with even the most complex of injuries.
\u2013 Sam B<\/p>\n

Neil and the staff at this clinic are all excellent, friendly and efficient. Neil helped me through post knee surgery and had my knee flex to 130 degrees, and doing stairs normally at six weeks. The knee clinic wants this by 3 months, so he had me well ahead. I ended up with tendonitis by trying to do more than i should, and Neil assisted with that as well. Overall an excellent clinic, i will go back if the need arises.

To Okotoks Physiotherapy,<\/p>\n

Thank you for \u201cbeing\u201d whom you each are! Your kindnesses, positive attitude, cheerfulness, and humour encouraged and enabled me to feel at ease and confident at each of my therapy sessions.<\/p>\n

You are a fine group of people who are dedicated to each other and to every person\/patient who walks through the
door. The respect shown for every patient, family caregivers and colleagues is reassuring, exemplary, and brilliant.<\/p>\n

Neil, thank you for your skills, dedication, sense of humour, and for using a variety of strategies that helped me to understand that my recovery was\/is, a team effort. You lead by example Neil, and you empowered me to work harder to
improve my strength, needs, confidence, and flexibility. You are dedicated to the well being of each of your patients and
family members. Humour also helped me when I could not figure out which foot stepped up or down first or last??<\/p>\n

Thank You Neil Hergott, Thank you Okotoks Physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Lori H<\/p>\n

Thanks to Neil and the team at Okotoks Physical Therapy<\/p>\n

Hi everyone, just want to express my thanks, especially to Neil, for the treatment I received for my back issue and sciatica. The treatment and exercises I received were very helpful. Now I have very little pain, almost none, and am just working on my leg weakness. I found the cobra pose particularly helpful with the sciatica, and I figured out that if I regularly did that pose throughout the day I would have no pain. I am now back at work and looking forward to getting back to my usual activities.<\/p>\n

Thanks again<\/p>\n
