Jessica

I saw Nethun for physiotherapy regarding neck pain & I’m so glad I did. He did a thorough assessment & was able to treat my pain in just a few visits. What impressed me most was that he didn’t just treat the immediate issue, he also gave me exercises to help prevent it long-term.

Amin

I went to Athletic Advantage in Markham for tennis elbow, & Yasir Sami has been outstanding. He quickly understood my issue, set up a clear rehab plan & I have already seen over 50% improvement. Professional, knowledgeable & easy to work with. Highly recommend Yasir for physiotherapy!

Farah

Rohit & Steven have been helping to treat a stubborn hip bursitis injury, & I can honestly say that I have made more progress with them than anywhere else. Rohit & Steven are so kind & personable, but also incredibly knowledgeable & supportive.

Syed

I've visited Rohit many times for various injuries (both shoulders & ankles) starting from 2021 & he’s always been able to help me get back on track. Rohit goes beyond traditional physical therapy techniques & introduces dynamic movements to help you recover AND build strength to avoid future injuries.

Pirasaanth

Amazing physio clinic, especially for athletes. They truly understand training, performance, and getting you back to training properly! Not just treating symptoms. Every session is focused, detailed, and tailored to your goals. If you take your training seriously, this is the place to go. Highly recommend.

Saleha

I was looking for a physio clinic close to home when I discovered Athletic Advantage. All of the practitioners I’ve seen have been great. Dr. Mithu for chiro, Sophia for massages, & then Rohit & Stephen for physical therapy. I highly recommend this clinic!

I had a great experience with Athletic Advantage Clinic. I had my neck & shoulder problem since 2019, & I feel better then ever. I would say that they are a gem in Markham. Helpful & professional.

I’ve been taking physiotherapy sessions with Nethun for my lower back pain, & the experience has been excellent. He took the time to properly assess my condition & worked on identifying the root cause of the pain.

Dr. Mithu is super friendly & cares about my improvement throughout my physio sessions. Overall, the clinic has such a warm & welcoming vibe. It felt like stopping by for a quick hangout with friends while working on my physical well-being.

Faith

I’ve been coming here for my physio for a few years now and not only are the physios incredibly good at what they do, but the community overall is super friendly and make me feel comfortable.

"I couldn’t walk without pain"

I’ve been training in Muay Thai for years. It’s a huge part of my life, something I look forward to, something that keeps me grounded. But over time, my shoulder pain kept getting worse.

At first, I did what most people do. I pushed through it. I told myself it would get better, but the more I pushed, the worse it got, until I had to stop completely. I went four months without Muay Thai.

And it wasn’t just training. I’m on my feet all day for work, and even that started to feel harder. Standing for long periods, moving around, it all felt off. That's when I knew I wasn't going to heal myself. I needed help, and thats when I went to Athletic Advtange Physiotherapy for rehab.

After my assessment, I learned that my shoulder was also affecting my posture. I was moving differently, holding tension, avoiding certain positions, and it was all adding up. My body had started to compensate.

Through physiotherapy, I wasn’t just given random exercises. I was put on a structured plan that focused on how my whole body was moving, not just my shoulder.We worked through movement patterns, strength, and control. Everything was tailored. Everything had a purpose. And for the first time in a while, I felt like I was actually progressing.

Within weeks, things started to shift. Less pain. Better movement. More confidence. I was able to get back to Muay Thai in 3 weeks

"I was told my injury could end my career"

When you compete in multi-day endurance races, your body goes through a different kind of stress.

I’ve been fortunate to win multiple gold medals and set world records, but none of that happens without taking care of your body.

That’s why I’ve been coming to Athletic Advantage for years. They’ve helped me stay consistent with my training and continue pushing my limits without breaking down.

What I value most is that they don’t just treat me when something hurts, they give me the tools to manage my body myself. The exercises, the techniques, the strategies, I use them not just in training, but during competitions too.

When you’re in the middle of a multi-day event, that matters. I know how to keep myself going.

Because of that, I’ve been able to keep competing, keep improving, and keep breaking records.

For me, it’s not just about staying pain-free, it’s about staying at the top of my game.

"Right before the draft, my knee gave out"

I knew I couldn’t ignore it. Rehab wasn’t just about resting or waiting for it to calm down. It was structured. We focused on loading the tendon properly, building strength through my quads and hips, and improving how I absorbed force when landing and changing direction. Every session had a purpose. We worked through progressive exercises, controlled movement, and gradually getting me back into basketball-specific demands—jumping, cutting, and game-speed movement. It wasn’t quick, but it was effective.

After rehab, I was able to get back on track—and I was drafted to the Vancouver Bandits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor’s referral to start physiotherapy?

No. You can book directly with a registered physiotherapist in Ontario. Some insurance plans may require a note for reimbursement, so it’s best to check your policy.

Do you offer direct billing to insurance?

Yes. We offer direct billing to most major providers, including Sun Life, Canada Life, and Manulife. We handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.

What should I wear to my physiotherapy session?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. If we’re assessing a lower body injury, bringing shorts is helpful.

Is physiotherapy covered by OHIP?

We are a private physiotherapy clinic in Markham, and our services are not covered by OHIP. Most patients use extended health benefits, motor vehicle accident insurance, or out-of-pocket payments or HSA

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition, but most people start noticing improvement within the first few sessions. During your first visit, you’ll get a clear plan and timeline.

How is sports rehab different from general rehab?

Your plan is built around the specific demands of your sport. We progress your treatment into sport-specific movements—like landing, throwing, or cutting—to ensure you’re fully prepared for a safe return to play.

Can physiotherapy help if I’ve had pain for a long time?

Yes. We specialize in helping people who feel "stuck" with long-term pain. Even if you’ve tried other treatments, our focused approach can help you finally find relief and get back to moving normally.

How do I know if physiotherapy is right for me?

If pain, stiffness, or an injury is affecting how you move—or something doesn’t feel right—physiotherapy can help assess the issue and guide your next steps.

When can I return back to sport?

Our goal is to get you back as safely and quickly as possible. During your assessment, we establish clear "return-to-play" milestones. You’ll know exactly what markers you need to hit—such as specific strength or mobility goals—before you return to full competition.
