💬 “I’m 98% pain-free thanks to Alex!”
After living with constant neck pain, one patient shares how working with Alex Ruth has been life-changing.

✨ Highly recommended by those she’s helped—Alex is a physiotherapist making a real difference.

🎥Posting another video from our practitioner series - meet Alex! We asked Alex what is at the heart of her approach to care and she said ‘at the heart of my physiotherapy practice is a commitment to listening deeply, so that every person has the opportunity to feel truly heard. I understand that pain is shaped by more than just the body, but influenced by each person’s unique life experiences. I strive to create an inclusive, trauma-informed space rooted in respect, using movement as medicine when appropriate to support healing, connection, and trust in the body.’ 😍🙌🏻. Watch to learn more from Alex about the people she works with.

🧠💪 Meet Rob – where movement meets mindfulness.
From film production to physiotherapy, Rob’s journey is anything but ordinary. After managing his own back pain through yoga and physio, he became deeply curious about the mind-body connection. That curiosity led him to earn degrees in Kinesiology and Physical Therapy, with a focus on chronic pain and osteoarthritis.
Rob brings a whole-person approach to care—blending education, manual therapy, neuromuscular exercise, and mindfulness to help you move better and feel more empowered. He’s not just a physiotherapist; he’s also a mindfulness facilitator with over a decade of experience facilitating mindfulness in the community and over five years supporting people with chronic illness.

✨ Whether you're dealing with hip or knee arthritis, recovering from surgery, or navigating persistent pain, Rob’s compassionate, movement-based care is designed to meet you where you are.
📍 Booking with Rob is now open! First appointments starting Thursday September 25th.

🌟 Pelvic Floor Health is for Everyone.
Pelvic Health Rehabilitation is helping more people feel comfortable discussing bladder, bowel, and sexual health concerns with their care providers. While changes after pregnancy are common, they’re not something you have to accept as “normal.”
💡 Men can experience urinary incontinence, especially following prostate cancer surgery. Research shows that starting Pelvic Health Physiotherapy before surgery (pre-habilitation) leads to better recovery outcomes than starting after.
💡 Non-binary people also experience pelvic floor dysfunction and deserve access to inclusive, affirming care that supports their unique needs.
🧠 Your pelvic floor muscles are part of your core and play a vital role in back health. If you’re dealing with persistent low back or sacroiliac pain, it may be time to see a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist.
At Strive, our team works together to support your goals. Stephanie Gardonio, Physiotherapist, offers compassionate, evidence-based care for pelvic floor dysfunction.
📞 Not sure if Pelvic Health Rehab is right for you?
Book a free 10-minute phone consultation with Stephanie at 416-486-4776 or online through our “Ask a Physio” Q&A appointment.

🏡✨ Meet Stephanie—Strive’s hometown physiotherapist!

🧠✨ Your mind is a powerful architect. If you don’t intentionally design your future, it will default to the blueprint of your past.
Let that sink in.
Every thought, every choice, every habit—either builds the life you want or reinforces the one you’ve outgrown. So today, choose vision over autopilot. Choose growth over comfort. Choose you.
📌 Save this as your daily reminder: You’re not stuck. You’re just one decision away from a new direction.

🎓 Celebrating Travis' Final Day on Placement
Today we say farewell to Travis as he completes his final day of placement with us. Over the past weeks, we've seen him grow in confidence, deepen his compassion, and demonstrate that he's ready to begin his journey as a physiotherapist.
Travis has brought dedication, curiosity, and a genuine care for patients to our clinic, and it's been a pleasure to support his development.
We're proud to have played a part in his learning and excited to see the impact he'll make in the profession. Wishing you all the best, Travis! 👏

A special shout out to Alex Ruth and Patrick Quimio for being the primary clinical instructors for Travis and to the entire team for providing learning opportunities for him over the last six weeks! 💕🙏
