I injured my right heel ( plantar fasciitis ) while playing tennis in late November 2019. I had the same injury approximately ten years ago and treated it with rest and soft heel inserts from the drug store in all my shoes. After a few months, I resumed playing tennis.
This time I tried the same thing - rest, soft heel supports etc. After a few months of not getting better, my family doctor prescribed physiotherapy - massage, ultrasound, stretching exercises etc. In March the virus hit and the physio place that I was going to did not take the virus seriously. The small waiting room was crowded and I was the only one wearing a mask, so I stopped going. Two weeks later their office closed down. My heel was not getting better. During a Zoom conference with some of my colleagues, I heard about shockwave therapy and how the therapy had been successful.
I did a net search for places that offered this treatment and found Precision Physiotherapy in Dundas. I called their office, spoke with Ron and made an appointment for a consultation.
After a few sessions alternating between shockwave and laser therapies, my heel started to improve significantly. After eight sessions my heel has now recovered and I am starting to play tennis again. Considering that I was having trouble walking normally, let alone playing tennis, this is amazing to say the least.
The treatment was flawless and the staff, manager Ron and therapist Ashish were excellent. Both these gentlemen were personable, professional and welcoming. Because of these two, it was a pleasure to go to these sessions. The office waiting area is spacious and because my appointments were spaced and timed so well, I never waited and was always directed immediately to the therapy room - I rarely came across any other patients. Everyone is masked and the experience is as safe as it could possibly be.
It is with every confidence that I highly recommend Precision Physiotherapy. The treatment works, their office is safe and the staff is excellent.
