I am beyond happy. Julie offers World-class service. Her knowledge and years of experience result in positive change and benefits. Prices are perfect
I have been to many physios and battled with a motorcycle accident injury to my shoulder. Julie was able to eliminate my pain and discomfort after only a few sessions. She is very professional but friendly at the same time. You feel relaxed and comfortable while you are being treated. Can definitely recommend her. Superb!!!
After many years of neck and shoulder pain and visiting a number of different physical therapy practices, I was so relieved and grateful to find Julie Kerdachi Physiotherapy. After a few sessions initially and a couple of follow-up maintenance treatments, I have never felt better. Julie is compassionate, friendly and professional and I would highly recommend her and her practice...
