Warren is a Sutherland-Chan graduate with a background in stretch therapy. His treatments focus on restoring movement and calming the nervous system, helping clients feel grounded and more connected to their bodies. Warren sees massage as a tool for both recovery and maintenance: supporting the body after training, offsetting long hours at a desk, or simply resetting from daily stress. He blends deep tissue massage, assisted stretching, and joint mobilizations to release tension, support sleep, and build long-term mobility. His approach shifts moment to moment, guided by the client's breath, rhythm, and response. Sessions might combine steady, focused pressure with active movement, meeting the body where it's at and creating more space, circulation, and ease. The work is intuitive, but always grounded in clinical knowledge.

Even though pelvic floor challenges are common, they are treatable and you should not have to live with them. Research strongly supports pelvic floor treatment as the first line of defense against incontinence and pelvic pain.

Common signs that can indicate a pelvic floor problem include:

accidentally leaking urine when you exercise, play sport, laugh, cough or sneeze
needing to get to the toilet in a hurry or not making it there in time
accidentally losing control of your bowel
a prolapse (pressure, bulging or discomfort in the pelvic area)
pain in your pelvic area, or painful intercourse

Pelvic health treatment can help you regain control, maximize your function and recovery, and improve your well-being.

Do I need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy in Toronto at Athlete's Care?

You do not need a doctor’s referral to book a physiotherapy appointment in Ontario, including at our Downtown Toronto location in Yorkville. However, some insurance plans require a physician’s referral for reimbursement, and in certain cases your physiotherapist may suggest seeing your family doctor or a sports medicine physician for additional testing or imaging.

What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being assessed and treated, such as shorts for a knee injury or a tank top for a shoulder or neck issue. Athletic wear like t‑shirts, leggings, or track pants usually works best so you can move freely during your exercises and treatment.

What should I bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

If you plan to use extended health benefits, bring your insurance information so our administrative team can check whether direct billing for physiotherapy is available with your insurance provider. A referral or doctor’s note is helpful but not required, and you should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so your physiotherapist can properly assess and treat the injured area.

What happens during my first physiotherapy visit?

On your first visit, a Registered Physiotherapist will complete a thorough assessment of your injury, medical history, and goals. Based on this assessment, your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan and usually begin hands‑on treatment and exercises during that same initial appointment.

What if I don’t have insurance coverage for physiotherapy?

You can still receive physiotherapy treatment even without insurance coverage; many patients choose to pay out-of-pocket for their sessions at our Yorkville clinic. We accept major credit cards, and debit, and your physiotherapist will focus only on the treatment you truly need while giving you a home exercise program to continue your recovery between visits.

We'll help keep you active, injury-free and feeling your best!
