My experience in this place is very wonderful the reception is special services a very quiet and beautiful place thank you for all the services you providePosted on Maleyko MoussaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Soby for about 4 years now and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better physio. He’s super chill, easy to talk to, and really takes the time to understand what’s going on. He doesn’t rush you and always works with you to find solutions that actually fit your situation. I’ve seen real improvement since working with him, and I always feel heard and supported during my sessions. Definitely recommend if you want a physio who genuinely cares.Posted on Patrick FafardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an excellent physiotherapy clinic. Soby and his partner Ben are clearly well-trained and genuinely care about their patients. Soby is invariably in good spirits and brings a positive attitude to his work with patients. Some of my problems deemed untreatable by other physiotherapists are on the way to being resolved thanks to Soby's patience and insight. The staff are very nice, the clinic is well-equipped, and the overall experience is great!Posted on Izabela KraszewskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place welcomes you like a family and provides the highest quality of service. I had a pleasure of working with both physiotherapists, Dr. Behzad (Ben) and Dr. Sobhan and can’t stress enough how knowledgeable and dedicated they both are. Dr. Ben was instrumental in my recovery from a bad concussion. He was patient, supportive and understanding when I was experiencing a set of awful symptoms. He is not just a great physiotherapist, he is a great human. This place is a gem and I would recommend it to anyone.Posted on Peiman NaderiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a great experience at this physiotherapy clinic. The physiotherapist is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They really take the time to understand your condition and create a personalized treatment plan. I’ve seen significant improvement since I started my sessions. The environment is clean and comfortable, and I always feel well taken care of. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality physiotherapy services.Posted on Jayne WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New Life Physo & Health is the best clinic! Dr. Soby and his assistants were so nice and welcoming. I came in with slight knee pain that I wanted to get under control before I started cycling again in the spring and after eight weeks here, it was fixed! I cannot say enough how lovely all the people that work here are - I will definitely come back here if I need physio again!Posted on Mohammadreza Eftekhar OmraniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Is Cupping Helpful for My Pain?
At our clinic, one question we hear regularly is: “Will cupping help my pain?” Cupping has become increasingly popular for neck pain, back pain, muscle tension, and recovery. Some people feel immediate relief, while others are unsure whether it is backed by evidence. The honest answer is: cupping may help reduce pain in the short term, but it is usually not the main solution for long-term recovery. What the Research Says A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMJ Open examined cupping therapy for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The review found that cupping therapy can reduce pain intensity, particularly in the short term and immediately after treatment. However, the same review found cupping did not significantly improve function or disability. In simple terms, people may feel less pain after treatment, but that does not always mean they move better, feel stronger, or return fully to normal activity. This

More Exercise, Bigger Brain
We all know that regular physical activity is good for our overall health, but did you know it could also be a powerful tool for protecting your brain? A fascinating new study has uncovered a strong link between moderate to vigorous exercise and larger brain volumes—an indicator of better brain health and a potential safeguard against neurodegenerative conditions like dementia. The Study: A Look Inside the Brain In a fascinating recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (2024), researchers analyzed brain scans from over 10,000 participants, ranging in age from 18 to 97, to explore how physical activity affects brain structure. Using advanced MRI technology and deep learning models to analyze these scans, the study focused on the impact of moderate to vigorous exercise on brain volumes—specifically gray and white matter, as well as important regions like the hippocampus, which plays a key role in memory. The Results:
