Client Testimonials
Bridgwater Physiotherapy (Taylor Avenue) - Winnipeg Clinical and Sports Physiotherapy 102 Google reviewsPosted on Google Patrick BouskaJuly 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the opportunity to work with Braden over the past couple of months for a pinched nerve in my neck. His professional manner, caring personality, and genuine desire to get his clients back to 100% are admirable. Bridgwater is lucky to have him practicing at this location. Best of luck in your future, Braden!Posted on Google Cheryl ClaireApril 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanh is the best!!! He is beyond knowledgeable and makes you feel like you’re right at home! He took so much of my pain away and set me up with the tools to keep my body healthy ! Every staff member is warm and welcoming, I will be back !!Posted on Google Marla KlassenMarch 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thann is prompt and with his 25 years of experience he brings knowledge and experience to treat his patients. I was fortunate to call late one afternoon and get a next morning appointment. Getting treated so quickly sped up the healing process and got me back to the court playing again in no time. I highly recommend Thann!Posted on Google J KFebruary 26, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always so quick to get you in for all physio needs. Super knowledgeable staff. Having been a patient of Thanh's for over 20 years I would highly recommend him to anyone for injury rehab and now am taking my own kids to see him!Posted on Google Kevin HouleFebruary 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My tennis elbow was so dramatic it deserved its own documentary. Enter this physiotherapist: part healer, part wizard, part motivational speaker. After their treatment, my elbow is functioning at a level I’d describe as ‘factory reset.’ If you’re broken, go here. They’ll un-break you.Posted on Google Cheryl RFebruary 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Thanh’s services for over 20 years, and whether you see Thanh or another team member at Bridgwater Physiotherapy, you are in expert hands. I wouldn’t trust my own or my family’s physio care to anyone else. After being diagnosed with frozen shoulder, I initially went elsewhere and was told to “manage my expectations” and accept it as my “new normal.” That didn’t sit right with me, so I returned to Bridgwater Physiotherapy. The difference was immediate. My treatment plan was completely reworked, I was listened to and respected, and everything was clearly explained. With their expertise and personalized approach, I regained full range of motion in about half the typical recovery time. I’ve continue to use their services with other ailments to great success. The standard of care at Bridgwater Physiotherapy is exceptional. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your health. You are never just another number here — their goal is to get you back to your baseline or better. I highly recommend Bridwater Physiotherapy.Posted on Google garyma19February 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered a bad back injury. Thanh and the staff members did an excellent job helping get back to being 100 percent again. Thank you very much for taking great care of me.Posted on Google Marcela GonzálezFebruary 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place and amazing service from all team members! I totally recommend Bridgwater Physiotherapy!Posted on Google Lori PaigeFebruary 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending Bridgwater Physiotherapy weekly for the past few months for a workplace shoulder rotator cuff injury, and I’ve had a great experience. I see both Braden and Megan, and they have both been excellent to work with throughout my rehab. They’re knowledgeable, supportive, and take the time to thoroughly explain and review my at-home exercises, which has made a big difference in my recovery. In my more recent sessions with Megan, we’ve combined physiotherapy with acupuncture, and I truly believe the acupuncture has been helping with pain relief. The clinic itself is centrally located in River Heights with easy parking, which is very convenient. I would highly recommend Bridgwater Physiotherapy to anyone needing professional and attentive care.Posted on Google Jim BFebruary 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding people and outstanding results!

What Do People Ask?
Most Popular Questions
Explore the most frequently asked questions about athletic therapy. We are here to answer any questions that you may have involving your care.
Athletic therapists can assess and rehabilitate a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including sprains, strains, ligament injuries, tendon problems, muscle injuries, and activity-related overuse conditions. Athletic therapy can also support recovery after surgery or injury by helping restore strength, mobility, and function through an individualized rehabilitation plan.
Consider seeing an athletic therapist if you have persistent pain, reduced mobility, weakness, or a sudden injury related to sports, exercise, work, or other physical activities. An athletic therapy assessment in Winnipeg can help identify the factors affecting your movement and guide an appropriate rehabilitation plan.
Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of your injury, your activity level, treatment goals, and how you respond to rehabilitation. Some injuries may improve in a relatively short period, while more complex injuries can require several months of progressive rehabilitation. Your athletic therapist can discuss expected recovery milestones after your initial assessment.
Yes. Injury prevention is an important part of athletic therapy. Your therapist may use movement assessments, functional conditioning, strength training, mobility exercises, and activity-specific strategies to address potential risk factors and help you prepare for the physical demands of your sport or activity.
Returning to sport should depend on your injury, rehabilitation progress, and ability to safely tolerate the demands of your activity. Return-to-play programs may include assessments of strength, mobility, balance, movement control, and sport-specific function. Your athletic therapist can help guide your progression from rehabilitation to training and, when appropriate, activity.
Athletic therapy and physiotherapy both involve the assessment and rehabilitation of injuries, but they have different areas of focus and scopes of practice. Athletic therapy primarily focuses on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity. Physiotherapy has a broader scope that can include musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and other conditions. The right service depends on your injury, health needs, and recovery goals.
A doctor's referral is generally not required to book an athletic therapy assessment. However, insurance requirements can vary between providers and plans. Check with your insurance company to confirm whether athletic therapy is covered and whether a referral or prescription is required for reimbursement.
