I go to Afshin at this location, and he has been amazing from the get-go gave me exercises to strengthen the area of treatment and keeps pushing the limits to bring my shoulder to full potential again.
Receptionist are great and friendly

Great clinic! Nice staff and convenient because of the direct billing to health insurance companies they offer. You don't have to shell out money when you make an appointment with them.

My daughter pulled a muscle that was bothering her for weeks and stopping her doing stuff

When she was done, she felt great and caught up on a bunch of stuff.

I go there for massages. It loosens me up when I can’t move very much. They know what they are doing.

I have been going to this clinic for about 4 years and I’ve really enjoyed the experience. They have experienced RMTs and physiotherapists. Never had any issues with direct billing and they have been able to accommodate my schedule/ rescheduling request on multiple occasions

Came into Form and Function with stiff shoulder and neck. I was lucky to get an appointment with Afshin who was extremely helpful and professional. After about three treatments my neck and shoulders are feeling much better. Highly recommend this physiotherapy!

I went with a bad catch in my neck and was so lucky to get appointments. The session was so useful and relieved me from pain. I had struggled for 3 days with unbearable pain in my neck. The massage helped me with my posture and stretch my neck. I am so happy with their service, very polite, professional and experts at their job.

After dealing with a nagging groin injury for what feels like forever, I decided to give Form & Function a shot. And boy, am I glad I did! This place has been a game-changer. The personalized program they put together for me has been way more effective than any physio I've tried in the past. Seriously, if you're struggling with a long-term injury like mine, give Form & Function a try. You won't regret it.

Dr Jim is an excellent Chiropractic practitioner. I recently sustained a serious cycling injury. Dr Jim treated me and now I am completely out of pain and on my road to total recovery.
I am so grateful for his expertise and knowledge in my treatment.

Thank you Dr. Jim!

I had two treatments with Afshin to fix a bad case of tennis elbow, and combined with diligently doing the exercises he assigned me, the problem was cured after two sessions. Amazing!

Dr. Chris was extremely hard working and knowledgeable. My muscle gave him a lot of resistance but he worked through it and gave me some much needed relief. He answered all of my many questions clearly and concisely. Great first experience !

I started in Form & Function July 2023, seeing Afshin (physiotherapy), Chris (chiropractic), and Ada (RMT) for my severe low back pain. I had a great assessment and treatment, resulted in a significant improve to my condition. I sincerely appreciate their service and effort, and I highly recommend it for all.

I had an amazing and relaxing massage with RMT Ada today. My tight and tensed back muscles are relaxed now. I booked my next session with her immediately after so I wouldn’t have a longer wait time.
