I had an injury in my disc that was life altering. I had pain 24/7 and I could no longer live my normal life. I couldn’t sit at work, no more sports, gym, exercise and I gained a lot of weight. I went to many physio sessions, chiro’s, RMT, cold bats, etc at other clinics, but I was still in pain. I decided that I needed a real plan to get control over my life. I asked around and I was referred to Studio Pushpounds. My friends indicated NBA players, EPL, NHL players fly and/or come here for treatment when they are in Toronto. If the best of the world trusts this clinic, then it would surely be good enough for me. My doctor was Dr. Darrin Germann. Dr. German is my hero. He spent time to properly diagnose my issue and create a gameplan that was altered after every session based on progression. Every time I entered his room, he was reviewing our notes, and like a mad genius planning out that day’s sessions. He knows each case personally, and I could tell he was invested in my health. And in turn, I put in my 100% efforts to what he wanted me to do not just in the clinic, but outside of it. I’m now back in the gym, swimming, and pain free. If you are dedicated to fixing your problems, I highly recommend you see Dr. Germann. Dr. Germanns character is class, and he is very professional. The man is a stud and a great inspiration and a role model you need when going through injuries. He does what he preaches, and it shows in his own physique and lifestyle in terms of diet and workouts. He is going to do big things in his field and if you are lucky enough to see him for your treatment, he is the miracle you have been looking for. Thank you, Doc., You already know how much my life quality has changed.

The Push Pounds Sports Medicine Team is incredible! We researched four different clinics before choosing Push Pounds and deciding on Josh Irwanto as the main physiotherapist for our teen’s ACL recovery. The attention and level of care from the start of our recovery program was remarkable. Josh and Peter (second physiotherapist team member) took the time to explain the recovery plan while demonstrating compassion and understanding along the complete process. Our child felt motivated, supported and driven to work hard. Our family has immense gratitude towards the Push Pounds team and their knowledge + professionalism towards their patients recovery goals. Our teen is back playing on the field healthier and stronger than ever. A million thanks to Josh and his entire team!

If you’re recovering from an injury of ANY kind, look no further, Push Pounds/Studio Athletica is the ONLY place to go. After a nasty proximal humerus fracture, I was at a loss when it came time to start rehab. After endless searching and coming across Studio Athletica online, I found Physiotherapist Josh and decided to start my healing journey. Josh (alongside every single one of the support staff) has been an integral part of my healing not only physically, but mentally as well. You don’t really know the effects of a bad injury has on your entire wellbeing until it happens to you. And at 35 and never having broken a bone, I thought I was in the clear. 😉 Josh’s dedication to my progress each week was what kept my spirits up. He knew when to push me and when not to and provided endless encouragement along the way. Physiotherapy included a combination of treatments on the table as well as mobility and strengthening in the gym. After months of this combo and being diligent about my at-home exercises, I’m confident in saying that I have my arm/shoulder back and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I must add.. during the time I was rehabilitating my shoulder, I had some foot injuries along the way. After an assessment from Josh during an appointment, he said that Chiropractor Dr. Germann was the person I should see. Everything that I said about Josh above can be echoed about Dr. G. Another gem of a human and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft of healing. Safe to say a have two working feet and back to walking many, many km’s a day. Long story short, if you want a dedicated team, top of the line treatment options, and a gym with all the equipment you could ever need, Push Pounds/ Studio Athletica is the place for you.

Late last year I developed achilles pain that was impacting my ability to play high-level sports so I was referred to Dr. Darrin Germann at Push Pounds/Studio Athletica. I saw Dr. Darrin weekly and the sessions were split between gym exercises (the facility is brand-new and has a fully equipped gym with turf) and treatments which allowed for a more holistic approach to my recovery. Dr. Darrin always had a game-plan ready for the day based on how I was feeling that week and adjusted as needed. He got me back on my feet playing on the national team for Ultimate frisbee within 4 months! The entire team is welcoming, friendly and well-organized. I can’t recommend it enough!

FAQ

If you’re unsure where to start, booking a physiotherapy assessment is often the clearest first step at Studio Athletica because it’s designed to identify the root cause through a thorough history and movement/biomechanical analysis, and then build a personalized treatment plan. From there, your plan may include hands-on manual therapy, exercise therapy, bracing/orthotics, and coordinated care with chiropractic care or massage therapy (RMT) when appropriate. If you already know you’re seeking an injection-based option (e.g., PRP, cortisone, or hyaluronic acid like Durolane/Synvisc), sports medicine may be the right starting point.

At Studio Athletica in Toronto, physiotherapy focuses on assessment, rehabilitation, and performance optimization using evidence-based treatment plans—often combining manual therapy, exercise therapy, and recovery modalities to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function. Sports medicine includes medical and regenerative interventions such as PRP injections, cortisone injections, and viscosupplementation/hyaluronic acid injections (e.g., Durolane, Synvisc), along with other interventional services. Both can play a role in a comprehensive recovery plan, depending on your needs.

If your main problem is pain, loss of function, or limitations after an injury (or surgery), you’re typically looking at injury rehab—often addressed through physiotherapy treatments Toronto patients use for recovery, like manual therapy, exercise therapy, and structured rehabilitation. If you’re generally healthy but want measurable improvements (strength, conditioning, biomechanics, or body composition), performance optimization may be a better fit—using tools like sport performance testing, functional movement screening, VO₂ max testing, DEXA body composition, and strength & conditioning. A physiotherapist in Toronto at Studio Athletica can assess you and recommend the right pathway (and blend both when needed).

Yes. Studio Athletica’s physiotherapy in Toronto is built around identifying contributing factors (movement, biomechanics, lifestyle) and addressing root causes—not just treating a specific diagnosis. Your plan may include manual therapy (mobilization/joint manipulation), exercise therapy, dry needling/IMS, acupuncture, and/or massage therapy, depending on what the assessment finds. The goal is improved mobility, reduced pain, and better function so you can move and train with confidence.

A physiotherapy assessment is a strong starting point to rebuild safely, especially if you have aches, prior injuries, or uncertainty about what’s safe. Studio Athletica can use movement/biomechanical analysis, functional movement screening, and exercise therapy to create a progressive plan, and may integrate strength & conditioning and recovery modalities as needed. This approach supports a gradual return to activity with better consistency and less risk of re-injury.

Studio Athletica treats both. While the clinic offers sports physiotherapy and advanced performance testing, it also supports people with chronic pain, orthopedic issues, post-operative rehab, and everyday movement limitations. Care is personalized and evidence-based, with 1-on-1 physiotherapy (no double booking) so beginners and non-athletes can feel supported, coached, and safe as they rebuild strength and function.

Studio Athletica has two Toronto locations—Downtown on University Ave. and East York on Danforth Ave. The best choice is usually the clinic that’s easiest to reach consistently, since frequency and follow-through matter in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Both locations support a multidisciplinary sports medicine and physio model with personalized treatment plans; if you’re unsure, you can book online and select the most convenient clinic.

Yes. A key benefit of Studio Athletica is integrated, multidisciplinary care—physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy (RMT), and performance/strength & conditioning can be coordinated under a single personalized plan. Your physiotherapist will assess you, outline priorities (pain relief, mobility, strength, return to sport/activity), and incorporate the right mix of treatments and recovery modalities to support efficient progress.

Studio Athletica offers evidence-based physiotherapy services Toronto clients use for complex and persistent issues by combining a detailed assessment (history, lifestyle, movement/biomechanical analysis) with a personalized plan aimed at root causes. Treatment may include manual therapy, targeted exercise therapy, dry needling/IMS, shockwave therapy, ultrasound/electrotherapy, and coordinated care with massage therapy or chiropractic when appropriate. The focus is improved function, mobility, and pain reduction—not just short-term symptom relief.

Yes. Studio Athletica provides orthopedic physiotherapy and musculoskeletal rehab for back pain and neck pain, including posture- and desk-related issues. Your physiotherapy assessment looks at movement and biomechanics, then your plan may include manual therapy, exercise therapy, and mobility/strength progressions to reduce pain and improve long-term function.

Yes. Studio Athletica’s physiotherapy in Toronto addresses knee pain through assessment of biomechanics and movement patterns, then a tailored rehab program that can include manual therapy, exercise therapy, bracing options, and recovery modalities (such as shockwave therapy) when clinically appropriate. If indicated, sports medicine options like viscosupplementation/hyaluronic acid injections (e.g., Durolane, Synvisc) or other injections are also available as part of care.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Studio Athletica treats tendinopathy with evidence-based physiotherapy that prioritizes targeted exercise therapy and load management, often supported by manual therapy and, when appropriate, shockwave therapy.

Studio Athletica lists concussion care and related programs as part of its specialty services.

For the exact components of your concussion rehab, the clinic will determine what’s needed based on your assessment results.

Yes. Studio Athletica offers hypermobility management through specialized programming. Care typically begins with an assessment and then a personalized plan emphasizing exercise therapy and movement control to improve stability, reduce pain, and support injury prevention, with ongoing monitoring to help you build safe, sustainable strength.

Yes. Studio Athletica provides pre- and post-operative rehabilitation in Toronto, including structured pathways like ACL Club for ACL-injury recovery. Your physiotherapist will assess your current function, align care with your surgical protocol, and create a progressive plan using exercise therapy, manual therapy, and ongoing monitoring to support a safe return to activity.

Your first physiotherapy assessment at Studio Athletica includes a thorough review of your medical history and lifestyle, plus movement and biomechanical analysis. Based on what’s found, your registered physiotherapist creates a personalized treatment plan that may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, modalities, and recommendations like bracing or orthotics. Appointment length isn’t specified in the provided details, so you’ll want to confirm timing when you book online.

You can expect a clear plan on the first visit. Studio Athletica’s process is assessment-led: after reviewing your history and completing movement/biomechanical analysis, your physiotherapist outlines a personalized treatment plan and next steps (which may include hands-on treatment, exercise therapy, and recovery modalities). The clinic emphasizes evidence-based care aimed at the root cause.

Studio Athletica’s physiotherapy process includes exercise prescription and ongoing monitoring as part of your treatment plan. The specific format (written vs. digital) for home exercises isn’t detailed in the provided information, but you can confirm what you’ll receive at your assessment. Progress is tracked through follow-up reassessments and monitoring of function, movement, and symptoms over time.

Visit frequency is individualized based on your assessment findings, goals, and the treatment plan your physiotherapist builds. Studio Athletica emphasizes personalized, evidence-based care with ongoing monitoring—so frequency is adjusted to match your recovery stage, response to treatment, and whether you’re focused on rehabilitation, pain management, or performance optimization.

It means your appointment time is dedicated to you. Studio Athletica’s UVP is expert 1-on-1 physiotherapy care with no double booking and no assistants in treatments—so your physiotherapist provides full attention throughout your session. This supports better communication, safer progressions, and a more personalized rehab experience in a busy Toronto physio clinic environment.

Based on the provided details, Studio Athletica’s model is “no assistants in treatments” and “no double booking,” which supports consistent 1-on-1 care. If your plan involves multidisciplinary services (e.g., adding massage therapy or chiropractic care), you would see the appropriate licensed provider for that service, coordinated within your overall plan.

The decision is guided by your assessment findings and goals. Studio Athletica builds personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that may combine manual therapy (mobilization/joint manipulation and other hands-on treatments) with exercise therapy and movement retraining. The aim is to reduce pain and improve mobility while building strength and function for long-term results.

Yes. Studio Athletica’s care is individualized, and physiotherapy is planned around your symptoms, tolerance, and goals. Because sessions are 1-on-1 with no double booking, your physiotherapist can progress treatments gradually—using a mix of hands-on techniques, exercise therapy, and recovery modalities to support comfort while still working toward meaningful improvement.

Studio Athletica’s assessments include medical history and clinical analysis, and your physiotherapist can incorporate relevant imaging findings into your rehabilitation plan. If you’re under a surgeon’s protocol (post-operative rehab), your plan can be aligned to support safe progressions and return to activity. For the exact coordination steps (e.g., report sharing), you can confirm at booking.

Studio Athletica focuses on restoring function through personalized, evidence-based physiotherapy—typically using assessment-guided exercise therapy, movement retraining, and gradual strengthening progressions. Rather than relying on rest alone, your physiotherapist builds a monitored plan to improve mobility, reduce pain, and help you return to sport or daily activity safely.

Timelines vary based on the condition, severity, and your goals, and the provided details don’t specify a universal timeframe. What Studio Athletica does commit to is a thorough assessment, a personalized plan aimed at the root cause, and ongoing monitoring—so your progress is reviewed and your physiotherapy treatments in Toronto are adjusted based on how you’re responding.

Goals are set after a detailed assessment that includes history, lifestyle factors, and movement/biomechanical analysis. Studio Athletica then creates a personalized plan focused on measurable outcomes like reduced pain, improved mobility and strength, and a safe return to sport or activity—supported by ongoing monitoring and evidence-based progressions.

Studio Athletica’s model includes ongoing monitoring, which means your physiotherapist reassesses how you’re responding and updates the plan as needed. That may involve changing exercise progressions, adding or modifying manual therapy, or incorporating other modalities (e.g., shockwave therapy, dry needling/IMS) or coordinated services (massage therapy, chiropractic) when appropriate to better address the root cause.

Yes. Studio Athletica emphasizes both recovery and performance optimization. As symptoms improve, your physiotherapy plan can transition toward strength, mobility, and movement control—often using structured exercise therapy and performance tools (e.g., movement screening, strength & conditioning) to reduce re-injury risk and support long-term resilience.

Progress is monitored throughout care. Studio Athletica uses assessment-based physiotherapy with movement/biomechanical analysis and ongoing monitoring, and also offers performance testing tools—such as sport performance testing, functional movement screening, VO₂ max testing, DEXA body composition, and resting metabolic rate measurement. Your provider will choose the right measures based on whether your focus is rehab, pain management, or performance.

These services are designed to give you objective data to guide training and performance optimization. At Studio Athletica, VO₂ max testing and DEXA body composition can help quantify aerobic capacity and body composition, while resting metabolic rate measurement adds metabolic insight. The clinic can then integrate these results into strength & conditioning and performance nutrition strategies to support more targeted programming.

Pricing isn’t provided in the supplied service details, so specific assessment and follow-up fees for physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy (RMT), or sports medicine can’t be confirmed here.

Studio Athletica offers advanced modalities such as shockwave therapy, dry needling/IMS, and acupuncture, but the provided details don’t state whether these are included in standard visit fees or billed separately.

Studio Athletica builds personalized treatment plans and includes exercise prescription and ongoing monitoring, which helps prioritize the highest-impact interventions when visit frequency is limited. Your physiotherapist can focus on root-cause findings, teach key exercises and progressions, and use in-clinic time strategically (manual therapy, modalities, and reassessment) to maximize results from fewer physiotherapy appointments in Toronto.

Studio Athletica notes that it works with major insurance providers and offers insurance-integrated care, but the specific insurers aren’t listed in the provided details. The clinic can confirm whether your plan covers physiotherapy, massage therapy (RMT), chiropractic care, or other services, and explain the billing options available.

Studio Athletica’s care model supports a supportive experience through expert 1-on-1 treatment—no double booking and no assistants in sessions—so you’re not rushed and your physiotherapist can adapt the pace to your comfort.

Studio Athletica offers PRP injections, cortisone injections, and viscosupplementation/hyaluronic acid injections (including Durolane and Synvisc), and the right option depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, and goals (pain relief, function, return to activity). A sports medicine consultation can clarify whether an injection is appropriate and how it fits alongside physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Studio Athletica offers red light therapy, blood flow restriction training, and IV therapy as part of its recovery and performance services. The provided details don’t make specific evidence claims or list exact indications for each modality, so the best next step is an assessment where your provider can explain how (or whether) these tools fit your goals—rehabilitation, recovery, or performance optimization—within an evidence-based plan.

Studio Athletica offers performance evaluations and enhancement tools that include options such as sport performance testing, functional movement screening, and assessments informed by movement and biomechanics. The exact components included in your performance assessment will depend on your goals (return to sport, strength, conditioning, or body transformation) and will be tailored after consultation.

These tests provide objective performance and physiology data. VO₂ max testing helps quantify aerobic capacity, DEXA body composition provides detailed body composition insights, and resting metabolic rate measurement helps estimate baseline metabolic needs. Studio Athletica can use those results to inform performance programming, strength & conditioning, and performance nutrition strategies.

After assessment, the clinic can build programming that supports your sport demands and training schedule, whether you’re returning from injury rehab or looking to improve performance outcomes.

The decision is made after assessment and depends on your condition, goals, and the level of structure that best supports your recovery.
