Read What Our Patients Say About Us
marniermoment 1964Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife put out a plea on Facebook after watching me go through decades of pain due to plantar fasciitis. Tonic kept coming up. I booked an appointment and saw Brenda. What struck me first is her warmth and caring nature. She asked question after question to try and get to the bottom of what my issue is. After the agonizing but rewarding first treatment, she gave me instructions. Stretches, ice/hot bath for my feet, etc. It has only been a few weeks and I already feel better than I have felt in probably 20 years. The only disappointment is that I wasted years and hundreds of dollars at other clinics who basically went through the motions and said "see you next week". Brenda truly cares about her patients. She takes the time and puts in the work. The staff at Tonic are amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. I am so glad to finally find a place that can make me feel good again.

We have been fortunate to have Brenda Azzopardi as our son's physiotherapist since he was three years old, and she has been an incredible support to our family over the years. She is not only highly skilled and professional but also warm, friendly, and truly dedicated to her patients. Brenda knows how to motivate our son, making therapy engaging while ensuring he keeps up with his exercises at home. Her guidance and encouragement have made a significant difference in his progress. We are deeply grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and knowledgeable physiotherapist.Posted on Google rating score: 4.9 of 5,
