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.

I’m Not Into the Gym — Can I Do Yoga Instead for My Knee OA?
If you’ve been told that exercise can help your knee osteoarthritis (OA) but the thought of lifting weights or hitting the gym turns you off, you’re not alone. A common question we hear is: “Can I just do yoga instead of gym-based strengthening exercises for my knee pain?” The answer is: Yes, you can — and it can work just as well. What the Study Found A 2025 clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open put this exact question to the test. Researchers ran a 24-week randomized controlled trial with 129 adults diagnosed with knee OA in Tasmania, Australia. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Both groups followed the same weekly structure for the first 12 weeks: After week 12, participants transitioned to fully home-based programs for the remaining 12 weeks, using video instructions and weekly support emails to stay on track.

Is My Pain in My Head? Understanding Central Sensitization
If you’ve been told “nothing’s wrong” on your scans but you’re still in pain, you’re not imagining it. Your pain is real, and your nervous system may be the reason it won’t calm down. This process is called central sensitization. It happens when the brain and spinal cord become overly sensitive, amplifying pain signals even after tissues have healed. It’s like your body’s alarm system keeps ringing long after the danger has passed. Signs That Central Sensitization May Be Involved It’s Not “All in Your Head” Central sensitization involves real changes in the way your brain and spinal cord process pain. Stress, poor sleep, or past injury can keep your system on high alert — but it can be retrained. How Physiotherapy Helps A New Way to Think About Pain Recognizing central sensitization shifts the focus from “fixing damage” to retraining sensitivity.
