 If you want the best knowledge in the business and the most fun environment while getting active, I highly recommend going to COMphysio!! As a former semi-professional athlete who's seen countless gyms and professional trainers, I chose to spend most of my summers at COM because I loved every second of it. Not only did they get me in peak physical condition but they took the necessary steps to help quickly recover my body when I needed it. The best physio group in Barrie and beyond.

 I've been seeing Bruce Martens for a few years now, and cannot say enough about his high standards of professionalism and expertise. There have been times when I've been in terrible shape with injuries and chronic pain, and he provides outstanding treatment in the form of manual therapy, dry needling and strength building exercises that get me back on my feet and restore my mobility. He is a very good listener, is patient and kind. Highly recommend Bruce.

 I have been going to Com Physio for the last couple of years. From walking in the door and being greeted by the front desk staff to the Physio's that are top in their field and the amazing onsite gym and qualified strength trainers you defiantly get the feeling you are getting the best treatment available. Gee they even have massage therapist on site! The team at Com takes the time to show/explain and demonstrate the strengthening exercises. In these times covid-19 they reached out to introduce me virtual physio and Strength training. ABSOLUTELY love this. The sessions are detailed and followed up. I kid you not, this is a MUST try if you are dealing with pain OR need to increase your strength training. They have provided such great tips for me to work out at home or anywhere I have an internet connection! I actually prefer this over the hustle and bustle of life and going into a facility right now and having to wear a mask ! You get 100% more one on one with the physiotherapist and the strength coaches. I give this an absolute 5 start rating. It truly is a must try for everyone.

 Concept of Movement was highly recommended to me, by many coworkers, in a physically demanding job. Many raving about the wonderful staff, their knowledge, team work, and top notch gym. They continue to rise to the challenge. Approximately 10 days post-op the pandemic hit and the state of emergency was declared. Forcing all businesses to shut their doors. Fearful it would delay my recovery, with no ability to continue therapy after my surgery. Concept provided a seamless transition to Virtual Therapy immediately following the Covid-19 shut down. Tom, Dax and Kevin have continued to provide me with the therapy and movement I need to have a 100% recovery from ACL surgery all from the comfort of my home. They adapted my therapy to using the equipment I have in my home. Entertained and laughed with my two young children who occasionally popped in to say ‘Hi’. My progression in therapy never felt like it stopped, even though the rest of world had. I can’t wait to return to in person appointments and see all the amazing staff at Concept. Knowing there always thinking of their patients first, I would highly recommend Concept of Movement to everyone.

 I have been to many physio/rehab/sports med clinics over the years, and since being under the expert care of Tom Swales following a car accident several years ago, there is nowhere else I go nor anyone else I recommend to my friends, family and even my doctors lol. Wonderful facility, and you’re doing yourself a favour getting your treatment there.

 I had constant, chronic back pain for 4 1/2 years and was spending a lot of money on my back seeing a chiropractor, laser therapy, an osteopath and massage therapy on a regular basis. Diagnosis was from sciatica to Degenerative Disc Disease which would end with me in a wheelchair. My condition was getting worse when I learned about Tom Swales who very persistently worked with me until now I am seeing him every 4 weeks! Tom knows his stuff and if he doesn’t, he keeps working until he finds the answer.

 I suffered a brutal lower back injury out west, and had 0 results getting any better through physios in Calgary and one here in Barrie. It was recommended to me to see Tom. After only a few weeks of corrective movements and slowly strengthening related muscles, Toms therapies solved my lower back problems. To this day I utilize his philosophies in and out of the gym to prevent my injuries from reoccurring. Whenever I hurt, I see Tom and the team at Concept of Movement!
