‘Martin is by far the best physiotherapist that I’ve had work on me. He explains what he is going to do and even shows you what he is going to do. I’ve had two back surgery’s and I’ve seen a few therapist’s but with Martin I’ve had results. He shows that he cares and is very happy when he gets the results.’ V. I.

‘Martin takes the time to ask how things are before he starts treatment. Once he found out I had bacterial infection he consulted with my family Dr and they both agreed to limit therapy that day.  Anywhere else they would not have asked the question, as they would not have been noticing or talking with me but over me.’ O. I.

‘I first had an appointment with Martin Bull because of neck pain caused by degenerative discs in my upper back and neck. After two visits, which involved stretching and realigning my upper back and neck, I was not only pain-free, but I had regained flexibility in my neck that I hadn’t had for years. My second problem was migraine headaches also caused by the worn discs in my neck. This time Martin used acupuncture for a couple of sessions and the pain was gone at least for a while. I needed follow-up treatments to keep it in check.

Then it was severe pain in my left foot, and while Martin didn’t directly treat this, he showed me how my foot was twisted and suggested orthotics as a cure. Sure enough, when I got the right arch support for my foot the pain disappeared. I was amazed that Martin could cure things that I would not have believed were remotely connected to my posture. I would highly recommend Martin Bull to anyone suffering from muscle or joint pain! M.T.’

‘I have been singing Martin’s praises since my first visit with him.  He is the first physiotherapist I have seen (and I have seen a few over the years) who really seems to try to fix the problem instead of just putting a Band-aid on it (heat, cold, etc.)  He is very supportive and informative, explaining his findings and how he plans to treat them.   I appreciate that he provides me with home exercises to assist with the healing process and explains why the exercises are beneficial.

 As for his location at the Elmsdale Medical Centre, it is very convenient, not only because I can see him before or after a visit with my family doctor, but the Medical Centre is quite close to my home as well.’ R.O

 ‘Debbie’s warm social graces do very much contribute to my healing process for sure. Martin has such a calm demeanor and is able to explain various exercises that may help with the strengthening of my back.  I enjoy his stories and his background experiences and studies more than qualify him for being a physiotherapist.  Thanks so much Martin.’ H.E.

‘I would just like to say that my physiotherapy sessions with Martin have greatly improved my physical comfort.  I also like the convenience of going to the Elmsdale Medical centre for my appointments as it is close to home.  Both of you are always so pleasant and friendly’ I.D.

‘I have been having therapy with Martin Bull for over a month. I have found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful, understanding, spending extra time with me to in courage me to keep going & to have a positive attitude. What I like the most is that he is in with the doctors where he can consult with them which he has done for myself twice. He has brought things to my doctor's attention that neither I nor my doctor would have known about. I appreciate the interaction between the doctors & Martin very much.’ W.S.

I found Martin to be a passionate and very well-informed professional. He gives a lot of homework, and has played an integral role in my recovery from a knee injury. T.P.

“On December 7, 2018 I had a complete knee replacement on my right knee.  One week later I start physio to regain the movement that I had before. I chose Physio Direct in the Elmsdale Clinic because it was also the home of my family doctor. Becky Hamar, the physiotherapist that I saw worked with me. She used her skills and knowledge to help me best use the exercises I was doing at home that were given to me by my doctor and the hospital. My progress was fantastic I started regaining both strength and motion. I walked every day starting in January and started slow dancing in March. I feel that without Becky’s knowledge and support my recovery would have taken much longer and may not have had the same results.

On July 2, 2019 I had a complete knee replacement on my left knee. After two weeks I started physio again at Physio Direct in Elmsdale. Because of appointment times and my schedule I chose to see Martin Bull. He is a physiotherapist who has moved to Canada from the UK.

His knowledge and experience working with sports injuries and athletes was most beneficial with the type of knee replacement surgery I had. The skill and precision Martin brought to each and every concern I had about pain, swelling and motion or lack of it was amazing. I also feel that both Becky and Martin’s personalities and sense of humour helped get me through some of the rough spots.

Last but by no means least, a special thanks to all the people working in the clerical and administration part of the Clinic who made booking of appointments so easy. Their cheery phone call reminders helped getting there on the right day and time much easier.”

SO MANY THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SEND THIS TO US - WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU PLACED YOUR TRUST IN US AND FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS. DEBBIE

“As a physically active individual, through the years I have had my share of sports related injuries and physio treatment to keep me going.  Martin Bull has been the most attentive and effective physiotherapist I have work with by a wide margin.  When you arrange for an hour with Martin, you get the full hour and more of physiotherapy along with advice and guidance.  Martin is truly engaged during the entire session. He treats patients with respect, listening attentively to their concerns, then formulating a program that delivers results.  In a short time, Martin addressed my pain and flexibility issues and I am now pain free and back to my full exercise routine.”

Thanks again for your attentive treatment and addressing both of my issues.  My arm is just fine, and my neck is much more flexible thanks to your effective treatment.

So glad that you had an excellent result and thank you for taking the time to send us your commendation and thoughts. We are very pleased that we were able to help and that you allwed us the opportunity! We count ourselves very lucky to have such dedicated therapists wihin the team.  Debbie
