Mission: To provide comprehensive physiotherapy care to optimize performance and/or recovery, thus maximizing one's quality of life. | "After seeing several other different types of practitioners and feeling “bounced around” a bit by the system I am so grateful that I finally ended up on your doorstep - what a (pain) relief! The Pilates based exercises you took me through and taught me to do myself have eliminated the pain and made my lumbar spine condition 100% manageable. Thank you Yolanda, for allowing me to bring my full attention back to the other things in my life." - Pierre Sadik, 45, lawyer
"After 7 long years of pain during intercourse, I was finally diagnosed with vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (now known as local provoked vulvodynia) and was referred to Yolates Rehab by my gynecologist. My physiotherapy sessions with Yolanda were phenomenal; she was professional, personable and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. With each session came less and less pain; I now have NO pain during intercourse and finally have a normal sex life! Now my husband and I are actually enjoying working on baby number 2!" - Yolates Rehab client, age 31
"When I first came to you to increase my core abdominal strength after a third hernia operation, you immediately set to work designing a specific program of Pilates-based exercises for me - even drawing them out so I could do them at home. After a few months, I was able to resume my normal activities and have had no recurrence of a hernia." "What I did not know then was that I would soon be seeing you again after developing a painful and progressive spinal condition. What has impressed me most during the seven years I have been seeing you, is not just the breadth of your knowledge and your endless inventiveness in treating a complex health issue, but especially the gentleness of your manner and the depth of your devotion to your clients." Thank you Yolanda for making it possible for me to go on - Robert, age 60
"I had been suffering from pelvic pain throughout my pregnancy. I had sharp and dull aching pain mostly in my right buttock. I thought that it was something that goes along with all the other aches and pains but as the weeks went on so did the pain. My midwives suggested Yolanda and I’m so glad I went to see her. Even though I was 36 weeks along the 3 appointments I had I felt a huge improvement in my mobility and a reduction in pain. The exercises that she suggested were easy to do and the adjustments that she made were painless and very comfortable. This was my first experience with a physiotherapist and I was not sure what to expect. Yolanda was attentive, caring and very professional. She explained everything in great detail and always had time for my questions. Since the birth of my son I have had no pain but I continue to do the exercises to increase my strength. I would recommend Yolates Rehab to anyone who is experiencing pelvic discomfort." - Ericka "Running has been a large part of my life for 20 years, but after giving birth to my first son, it was no longer comfortable. During my runs, I would experience leaking and a feeling of heaviness. I was diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence. After only several treatments from Yolanda, I was able to resume my regular running routine."
- Cathy, age 34 Ottawa
