Kristen gives much more than a 5 star experience! She has helped me come a long way with recovery from Stage 3 breast cancer. From pain management to gaining strength and mobility surely helped me gain confidence as well along my journey. She is a wonderful caring person.
Alynn Perreault
I highly recommend MacDonell Family Physiotherapy. I had pretty invasive knee surgery in Nov and got the "go ahead" from the surgeon to start physio in Jan. I am so thankful to have met Kristen. She was able to schedule me in that same week Andy rehab began. From scar massage to functional exercises that I was able to incorporate into my daily scheduled, as well as the confidence Kristen gave me has made rehab a blessing. I have learned so much from Kristen and look forward to the rest of my recovery. Oh ....and ...Copper is jut the sweetest boy ever!
Colton Gallant
I separated my shoulder playing hockey and decided to go see Kristen after hearing positive reviews from a few co-workers. She was great to work with and really helped me throughout the recovery process. I would highly recommend her to anyone battling an injury as she is very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating

Had rotator cuff pain in my shoulder along with elbow pain. Kristen did an assessment and treatment along with at home stretches and exercises, which proved to be effective. Kristen was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with . Thanks Kristen!
Marie
Kristen is an amazing physio! She is extremely professional and her clinic vibes are on point! I went to her for a sports injury and she took her time with talking me through the rehab process and actually making sure I was comfortable! I have never been to a physio who actually cares about their clients wellness and who is extremely focused on getting you back on track ASAP! She was a gift from heaven. I honestly could not thank her more for everything she has done for me. Kristen is not judgmental and honestly just genuinely cares about all her clients! I would recommend her to all my friends and family! Very fairy priced and worth every penny!
Margaret Marshall
I would highly recommend Kristen as your physiotherapist. I have seen Kristen for a few injuries(foot and hip). She always listens to my complaints, suggests a treatment plan and gives me the explanation of the exercises in detail. She goes the extra mile to give me comfort. Three words to describe Kristen: Professional, knowledgeable, kind.
Emily McCandless
My shoulder started seizing up and the pain gave me little movement. I called several physio offices in Cornwall, and they had two week waiting lists. Kristen was able to see me that day. She was very gentle, thorough, and conscious of the comfort of the client. She had me back to normal before another office would have been able to see me. She sent me home with exercises after each appointment to improve the range of motion and to strengthen it. I highly recommend her quiet, client-focused practice
Dan Tyo
I went to see Kristen for a back injury that left me unable to perform many day to day activities. She was very knowledgeable and understanding. She provided great treatment as well as a number of stretches and exercises that helped me recover. I highly recommend her!!
Jenn Stiles
KRISTEN is an amazing Physiotherapist. She can push you even if you dont wanna. She is very friendly, caring and a compassionate. She cares about the people she helps. Your success is her success. I would always choose Kristen.
Carole Mundy
Totally satisfied with my recent visit to address some pain issues. Kristen’s thorough consultation resulted in a diagnosis and action plan. The cause of my issues were clearly explained. Her treatment got me on the road to recovery. The exercises were easy to understand and focused on recovery and future prevention of the problem. Highly recommend her services.
Amanda Brown
My daughter is almost 5 yrs old and has had several pulled elbows, a fractured leg and several other accidents/injuries. It's often difficult for me to find medical people my daughter will respond to positively and allow to examine her and want to go back to see. I understand the fear and where my daughter is coming from but it limits the field of people that can help immensely. She's really responded to Kristen since our initial visits and has looked forward to physio!! I haven't seen her look forward to any doctor or medical type appt for almost 3 yrs!! I usually have to bribe and reason and still have to force her. This has been the best few visits we've had so far ANYWHERE since everything started around 2 yrs of age with her injuries. Kristen focuses on the patient and has sooooo many different techniques and approaches wheb trying to determine the best course of treatment. (Ask her about the "creepy troll" as my daughter calls it🤣🤣) From an exhausted momma and from the bottom of my heart, ty ty ty Kristen and keep doing what u do! You are definitely in the right field❤️
