Defy Sports Performance & Physiotherapy

Katie and Megan were great at addressing my injury, providing excellent treatment and support helping me reach my recovery milestones. I highly recommend Katie, Megan and the team at Defy.

Have worked with Laura & Alexie and love them both. Laura went into detail with what was the problem. Took a wholistic approach. Over time has got me improved mobility. And Alexie has magic hands. She is so upbeat. She focuses on what my issues are for that day. She will give me tips to do at home.Have recommended to my family - husband & daughter.

I'm posting this review on behalf of my son. I would 100% recommend Defy for any physio needs. My son's sessions were with Patty and she was very professional and knew her stuff. His healing was a lot quicker than I thought and the program helped him progress quickly. The staff is very friendly as well. My wife also had a great experience here last year...so we're 2-2! Don't get me wrong and as much as I loved the experience... I'm not personally looking to make it 3-3! Haha. In all seriousness though make Defy your first call if you're in need of their service. You won't be disappointed.

Love it! I’ve seen both Katie and Justine and they are both amazing Physios! Super knowledgeable, kind and professional. They really take the time to listen and to make a plan with you. Front desk staff are also lovely :) would highly recommend Katie for any equestrians looking for a Physio that really understands their sport.

I had my first appointment at defy today with Estee. I am working on my strength, core, and a couple other things I know I will reach my dance goal this year with her help. Estee makes hard training fun to do. I recommend any dancers too book an appointment with her today.

I've been coming to Defy off and on for years and always have an amazing experience. Most recently, Katie Wood was my physiotherapist. She is exceptional! She's personable and knowledgeable and provides detailed explanations for her assessment, exercises, and rehab plan.

I attended a workshop for equestrians by Katie Wood at Defy and was immediately impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. Drawing on her personal experience as a competitive rider as well as her knowledge as a Physiotherapist, she put together a fantastic strengthening and conditioning program that I am really enjoying working through. It has made me much more aware of what my body is doing while in the saddle.

Ive been going to Defy on and off for about 2 years and Matt Browne has been nothing short of amazing. Very knowledgeable, charismatic and incredibly helpful. The facility is always very clean, and the support staff is always very kind and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing physiotherapy clinic!

I've been seeing Katie Wood at Defy for the last 3 months and she has been absolutely spectacular. I came in with severe unidentified knee pain that had been negatively impacting my life in all kinds of ways, and within a few weeks I was already on the road to recovery.Katie is extremely warm, kind and knowledgeable. She is incredibly well-read on scientific literature relating to many different aspects of physiotherapy, and effectively communicates this knowledge with her clients to make sure they feel empowered in their treatment and understand how she makes treatment decisions. Katie is also incredibly flexible and adaptable - she meets you where you're at regarding your strength and level of injury, and always has plenty of alternative solutions if an exercise isn't working or something doesn't feel quite right.Another fantastic thing about Katie is that she is an equestrian physiotherapist. I've been an active jumper rider for nearly 15 years, which impacts my body in countless ways. Not being able to ride because of this injury was really upsetting for me, as horses are a major part of my life. But Katie used her in-depth understanding of the biomechanics of horseback riding to helped me get back in the saddle safely and confidently, while also giving me specific exercises and tips to help me manage my injury while riding as it healed. When I was preparing to get back to riding for the first time following my injury, I asked her how she thought it would impact my knee. In response, she pulled out a saddle and said let's find out!" - that was when I knew I was in the right place. 3 months later I am almost completely pain-free when I am riding now

I really can’t say enough amazing things about Defy!!!Dr. Megan is a wealth of knowledge, and her scope of practice far exceeds any other chiropractor I’ve ever met! I love that she has different lengths of appointments, with a more holistic approach on care to meet me where I’m at and best address my concerns. Dr. Megan is genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and she truly does care about her patients; she’s gone out of her way to help me and went above and beyond when I was in crisis.Justine really blew me away with how amazing she was at my pelvic health assessment! I was dreading having my pelvic health assessment done for many reasons, and even prior to booking my assessment I was filled with anxiety. Prior to me having my appointment with Justine, she did a free consultation and chatted with me to make me feel comfortable and answered all my questions and concerns (and trust me there was many questions and I kept no filter on lol). Justine turned an appointment I was dreading, into an appointment that I genuinely had fun with her at!! I never thought I would have fun, and enjoy being at a pelvic health physio assessment, but Justine made that happen with her lovely sense of humour, compassionate nature, wealth of knowledge and passion in what she does! I left my appointment feeling encouraged, educated, and looking forward to returning for more :)Last but certainly not least, Claire at the front desk is a ray of sunshine when you walk in the doors or call Defy!! I am always greeted by Claire with such excitement, compassion, and kindness and I genuinely look forward to seeing her each time I come in for my appointments. Claire always goes the extra mile, and will take the time to help me feel welcome, and comfortable at Defy! I was filled with anxiety my very first time walking into Defy not being an “athlete”, and Claire went out of her way to make me feel at home!Huge thank you to everyone at Defy for going above and beyond, for taking amazing care of me, for your kindness and support, for making me truly feel excited and at home when I walk through your doors, and for helping me on my journey to defy my limitations :D
