REVIEWS
- My grandmother has been coming to this clinic and she has never looked better. 2 sessions was all it took to see a difference. Her pain was reduced and she was moving a lot more with less support. The staff provides the best for their patients and it is really worth coming here to get therapy.- Harleen Minhas. 1/24/2020
- Hirvi is terrific. I have been looking for a female physiotherapist for some time, glad I searched online and found her because of all these good reviews about her and others. Besides all the usual treatments with machines, she taught me many exercises to relief my neck & shoulders pain. Knowing I have vertigo, she was extremely gentle and careful when she was doing traction by her hands on my neck. Today she also taped my back and lower neck to help me correct my posture. Grateful to have her as my physiotherapist.- Christina Ng. 1/5/2020
- Kervi assessed me for my initial visit and pointed out a problem that I was not so concerned about. After his explanations, I realized that it is something that should be addressed and not ignored. He suggested exercises to do at home and told me that if I follow his regiment, I will certainly benefit from future mobility issues. His knowledge and assistance are certainly appreciated and have put me at ease.Thanks Kervi and to the friendly and helpful front staff as well!- Mike Taylor. 0/25/2020
- Pulin is a very knowledgeable physiotherapist. He taught me some effective exercises to do at home that leads to my speedy recovery. He was a huge help to my shoulder pain and I could get back to work soon. All the staff is friendly and has a welcoming attitude. The clinic is clean and organized. Active Life offers exceptional services, I would surely recommend it to my friends and relatives. Thanks!- David . 0/20/2020
- Hirvi is a very professional and exceptional physiotherapist. She was very informative and knowledge about my shoulder/neck pain. She gave me many tips and advice on how to help the pain. She is also very enjoyable to talk to and is very friendly. The staff working the front desk are kind and extremely helpful. I will definitely be recommending Active Life to friends and family. Thank you for such great service! :)- Dylan Wang. 10/19/2019
- I've been to one other physio place for a different issue and I find Active Life much more thorough and the therapist would explain things better. The therapist, Kervi, is very knowledgeable and will let you take videos of the exercises you need to do at home which is so helpful. The front desk staff is also friendly and on top of things. I'd definitely recommend this place.- BW Hui. 9/31/2019
- I have been going to Active Life Physiotherapy for a couple of weeks and have been very happy with their service. The staff is very friendly and professional. The therapy has really helped me with an old shoulder injury that I had for a while and needed some treatment. I would definitely recommend them.- B V. 7/17/2019
- My husband has suffered back pain for years. After visiting several other clinics and finding no relief, we heard about Active Life and decided to give it a try. After several appointments, we realized this clinic is far superior to other clinics we have visited in the area. We have been treated by three different Active Life physiotherapists over the course of the last six months and have been extremely impressed by their knowledge, professionalism and compassion. We recommend this clinic to all our friends and family.- Doris Kennedy. 5/11/2019
- Both the physiotherapist and the receptionist were very helpful in my experience. Highly professional and takes the time to explain the process to me. Service was quick and easy, and they try their best to follow up to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend.- Victor Diec. 4/11/2019
- Went there yesterday because I've been having left knee pain. Within a few minutes, the physiotherapist knew my pain wasn't actually my knee but with my IT band. She used heat/ice/ultrasound and a pulse machine on it and massaged the tissue. She then gave me exercises to perform at home and during a run to help with the pain. Honestly amazing! It feels better after one day, it felt better minutes after she started working on it. She was very knowledgeable, honestly I'm not the best with names so I can't quite remember hers, but she is wonderful. She even went out to get diagrams to show me where the muscle was and how the IT band was triggering my pain. I am very thankful I found them.- Ash lee. 4/4/2019
- Very friendly staff. Clean facility. Highly recommended. Steph and Helen are the 2 people I usually see and they are very professional. Dorothy is my RMT and she takes the time to understand where the pain is and will work to help you alleviate it. Overall a great experience. Thank you!- Bill Ng. 3/26/2019

The front desk staff is very friendly and welcoming, his therapist Hirvi is extremely knowledgeable and professional, she did a amazing job explaining the issue, and also provided very helpful advices, we are both impressed with the progression made from this appointment, looking forward to the follow ups. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommended!- T Xu. 3/5/2019
- I have been a client at active life since their opening 15 years ago. I have used their services for Massage therapy, Physiotherapy and Chiropody for my knee injuries, post knee replacement and after a major car accident. All the professionals are amazing. I have referred my family and friends. Everyone had the same experience. Professionals are extremely knowledgeable in their practice.- Sweet Sandhu. 2/16/2019
- I hurt my back from lifting back in September, 2018 and started going to Active Life Physiotherapy Centre beginning of January, 2019. Hirvi did the initial assessment; she was such a sweetheart, she’s friendly, knowledgeable and explain to me what causes my pain, she showed me stretches that I can do at home to ease pain, and because I have a short-term memory, she even gave me papers with pictures to take home, which was very helpful. I also had sessions with Pulin, he’s also wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. There’s only certain time I can be away from the office, hence why I end up with 2 different PT as I have to work around my schedule and I’m so glad I had the pleasure to work with both Hirvi and Pulin. They are both great PT!- Mimi Tam. 0/17/2019
- Nicer people who also provide much valuable professional service. Ability to connect genuinely not name sake, understand your pain or discomfort, offer reasoning or explanation without judgement - a welcome break. I'd definitely recommend to try out if you looking for quality diagnosis / physio treatment.- Amalan K Raj. 0/15/2019
- PT Hirvi Shah is very knowledgeable and professional. She is also very friendly, polite and caring plus easy to talk to. She helps you understand the problem and gets to the root of the problem. Gave me excellent advice and treatment to solve my neck, shoulder and lower back pain. I will recommend her to anyone! Thanks Hirvi and team!- Jimmy Jimmy. 0/14/2019

- We chose this physiotherapy because of location and were not disappointed. From the kind, professional greeting at the front desk, to the excellent physiotherapist Our physiotherapist, Mr. Pulin Shah was professional, knowledgeable, and had an excellent way of providing treatment based on individual need. We are more than satisfied with the care offered here, and would recommend it to anyone who was seeking physiotherapy. There is a curb at the front of the building which could be a challenge with regard to mobility, but there is also a ramp available on the south side, which makes it accessible for those with significant injuries.- Trish McFalls. 0/6/2019
- I went recently as I’ve been experiencing numbness in entire my right arm from pregnancy. Physio therapist (Pulin) was thorough in showing me the right excercises, explaining the causes, and though it’s just an initial treatment, I did notice an improvement overnight. Hoping continued treatment will help resolve this issue so I can sleep through the night again.- M K. 10/9/2018
- I had a great first visit at Active Life Physiotherapy clinic recently! I had suffered from an injury while playing sports in my front thigh area.

They have got all that you need from a service like that! highly recommend them!- Yousuf Jiwani. 10/1/2018
- I had a terrible muscle spasm in my back. It wasn’t improving for weeks. I went to the chiropractor, GP, and had massages, nothing was helping. Immediately after meeting with Hirvi for physiotherapy I started feeling better! She was very knowledgeable and taught me the best way to sleep, bend, and stretch for my injury. She provided me with a plan to approach each day and within a week of meeting her and following her plan and in office treatments I am almost pain free!- Nausheen Husain. 9/20/2018

- Pulin Shah is a fantastic physiotherapist who cares about his patients. I recently injured my elbow bone and he taught me some exercises on how to strengthen my muscles in my elbow. He made sure that I got the arm exercise positions correct before he moved onto the next exercises. Definitely recommend this physio centre to anyone who has arm injuries.- Jennifer Chu. 7/21/2018

Mr Pulin Shah attentively assessed my condition, explained in detail the cause of the pain, taught me to do some stretch exercises, applied both hot/cold packs and other very sophisticated tools to the pain locations.

I made a couple of follow up appointments immediately afterwards because I was very pleased with his professionalism in taking care of a client like me - no experience at all with physiotherapy!- Tin Bon Lee. 3/3/2018

Highly recommend.- Jessalyn Parina. 2/1/2018

- Highly professional physiotherapies and I sincerely recommend it. My foot was injured about several months ago and my ankle feels painful. I had been to other store for doing 6 times acupunctures but just feel a little bit better and still feel very painful when I was walking. Therefore I try to come to this new place, the physiotherapist here is very knowledgeable and professional, he teach me a lot of new methods to do the exercise at home and give me useful advices for correct treatments. He corrected my previous mistake treatment which was to use hot water to cover my foot. He pointed out the correct way is to use ice bag and to reduce the swelling first which work very well for my foot. Only for 2 treatments so far in this location, my foot feels much better and now can start to work without much pain as before. I am very happy about the service here and will continue to the treatment plan to let my foot completely cured. I feel the physiotherapist here are very caring and responsible. They not only provide right treatments but also provide lots of good advice for future caring of my foot. I will highly recommend this location to my family and friends!- Kevin Cai. 11/3/2017
- I had a wonderful experience at this clinic. My physiotherapist Pulin was amazing. He took his time to assess my foot injury and was very thorough on his treatment plan. He also offered a lot of advice about proper exercises that I could do at home. After about 4-5 sessions, the pain was almost completely gone and I can get back to one of my favourite pastimes: hiking, biking, and occasional running. I am very pleased with my progress. I will absolutely recommended these guys to my family and friends!- Monty Nava. 10/21/2017

- I was looking for a good, reputable physiotherapist, massage and orthotics center in Markham. This place is your one stop shop. They have been around for 12 yrs and all their staff are very qualified, friendly and professional. Pulin is my physiotherapist and he is very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and overall excellent. Stephanie at reception is very friendly and works with you to book your appointments right away so you don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment. They make everything very easy for you when filing your medical claims and reimbursements. If you live in Markham and don't want to drive to several different places to get these services, I would highly recommend this center. It's very convenient for anyone looking for all 3 services in one place. The office is very clean, has everything you need, easily accessible (no elevators) with lots of parking. It has also never been so busy that you are waiting long - Pulin has been extremely punctual and all appointments have been on time. This is also very important.- Francis Mendoza. 8/13/2017
- I was the first client of this centre back in 2005-2006 and am currently their client as well. I appreciate the high quality of their management. The physiotherapists and registered massage therapists are highly qualified and their orthotics are very comfortable as well. I have been happy with their service over the years and would highly recommend this clinic.- ekta jagtiani. 7/1/2017
- This was my first experience with physiotherapy. I must say that everyone at the clinic was very welcoming and made sure that I felt comfortable. I love how they make sure to explain absolutely everything they are doing and why they are doing it so that you are completely aware of what they are doing to your body.- Amy Shea. 6/25/2017
- As a non-professional, it's hard to evaluate the quality of medical services, but I have been to this clinic at 2 different times in the last year and my condition improved significantly. The owner, Pulin Shah, seems very knowledgeable. They are open 6 days a week, closed Mondays, and their hours are convenient. If requested, they will give you a reminder email and/or phone call the day before your appointment. The premises are clean and bright. All four of the staff that I encountered were very friendly and professional. As far as prices go, I can't give an opinion because it has been years since I went to anyone else.- Mark Rafman. 6/17/2017
- Thanks to Active Life, I recovered from an accident that happened four months ago. The pain that I felt on my knees and shoulder are all gone now. I got my energy back and I can do my daily things again. They're such a kind and supportive staff that helps you with any problems that happened. The people who massaged did a good job aswell. They're always welcoming and friendly. They kindly help you with a smile. I highly recommend this location to anyone who needs help. Thank you so much Hirvi and everyone for helping me recover from a nightmare. Regards, Visma :D- Visma Sidhoe. 6/11/2017
- I have recently been suffering a rotator problem in my shoulder. I have been seeing physiotherapist Pulin Shah at Active Life and have been very pleased with his knowledge about my injury and how to care for it. I was not able to see my family doctor for 2 weeks and when I did it was reassuring to know (and a testament to Pulin's knowledge and expertise) that he supported both the diagnosis that Pulin made about my injury but also the treatment he had begun and continues to do. Pulin describes the exercises and demonstrates them well with me. He also describes how to use / modify them at home. When I am at the clinic Pulin has me do exercises after applying heat - then finishes with ultra sound / electric pulsation and ice. The level of care and informative discussion about the care being provided is very much appreciated. Thanks Pulin ! Thanks Active Life ! Kind Regards, Martin Gorman- Martin Gorman. 6/8/2017
- This is my first experience doing physiotherapy and it was a great first experience! Receptionist was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I am so glad I have found what I have been looking for. I am also almost 9 months pregnant and am finally beginning to feel some relief with my back.- Martina C. 6/4/2017
- Very professional clinic with outstanding physiotherapists! I have been to several other clinics in the Markham/Toronto area and this is the best in the region! The therapists actually spend time with clients to fully understand their needs. My condition has improved more in the past two weeks than after months of treatment at other clinics. My experience was so top-rate that I recommend this place to all my friends and family. My parents had their orthotics made here and were VERY pleased with their experience. The staff (especially Stephanie and Helen) are all very friendly and helpful as well!- Timothy Kennedy. 4/1/2017
- Courteous and professional service. I had a shoulder muscle tear about three years ago and my family doctor suggested physio first with potential surgery as a last option. Thanks to my physio at ActiveLife, Mr Pulin Shah, I avoided surgery. Now for the past 2 months, I have been visiting him for a back pain. Pulin’s approach to treatment is unique IMHO, in that he will explain the physiology of the affected body part so that you understand the causes and how to avoid repetitive injuries. The kind of knowledge he possesses and the way he explains the causes/remedies/symptoms/exercises reminds me of a teacher in a class room. Caring and nice guy!- Raju Ganapathiraju. 3/29/2017
- Friendly, professional, informative, and thorough care was given to me on my first visit. Clear instructions were given for exercises - with photos to help me remember when I got home! Extra help locating new health insurance plan coverage too .Thank you, Cassandra and Pullin.- Libby StJean. 2/17/2017
- I can honestly say that my experience at Active Life physiotherapy has been a very positive one. While I have been happy with the office team service and support, I can't say enough great things about my physio Pulin. I initially came to see him for an injury to my wrist but because I found him so great, I asked him to help me with some problems I had been having with my knees for a while. Pulin is extremely caring, knowledgeable, patient and communicative. He is never pushy and he's always on time!! Hard to find someone like him these days! I have highly recommended him to my friends and family.- Helen Lau. 0/28/2017
- My shoulder and lower back pain have been bothering me for years. The physiotherapist at Active Life Physiotherapy Centre gave me the best care and treatments. He is patience, respectful, skillful and professional. The staff are all polite and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone.- Miu-Ling Sum. 10/29/2016
- Professional and friendly staff, very knowledgeable receptionist - she knew more about my benefits coverage than I did and spent some time explaining a few things to me. I also like that they can be reached by email and also reply by email. Makes communicating during work days easier and convenient!- A Y. 10/20/2016
- I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Active Life Physiotherapy Centre. After spending weeks healing a sprained ankle, I credit Pulin and Hirvi for their attentive care and attention. They have all the qualities of the ideal health care practitioner, knowledgeable, patient, and good listeners. It is very clear that they care about their clients and do everything possible to get them back to their healthy states. I am appreciative to have had the opportunity to work with both of them to regain my strength and endure the recovery process. The front desk staff are very organized, warm and accommodating with scheduling and reminders. Thanks to this dream team, I am very close to fully recovered!- R W. 10/8/2016
- I suffered a terrible lower back pain due to a bad chair at my new work.I couldnt stand up straight for days. I went to see Mr. Shah at his clinic. He took time to assess my pain and recommended a few exercise routines. After just two days or so of doing those exercise routines, my pain was considerably reduced. I am extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering from joint pain.- shok muinao. 9/8/2016
