Andra has been a life saver for me. I went to Eglinton Physiotherapy with severe stenosis and painful arthritis of the spine, suffering from pain when walking or even lying down. She gave me exercises and stretches that have ultimately completely alleviated the pain! I first went with just my X-ray, which Andra studied carefully to design the exercises, which reduced the pain significantly. When I came back later with an MRI that gave more information, the exercises were adjusted and the pain basically is now all gone. I would highly recommend Eglinton Physiotherapy!!!
I can't recommend Andra enough! She has been exceptional in her knowledge and approach to treating my sciatica and back pain issues. From the very first session, she took the time to thoroughly understand my condition and tailor a treatment plan that truly worked for me. In just three months of visiting her, I’ve seen tremendous improvement. Her expertise, combined with her patient and compassionate approach, has made a huge difference in my recovery. If you're struggling with nerve pain or any musculoskeletal issues, she is definitely the one to see!
For over six months, I endured debilitating back pain caused by spinal stenosis, which severely impacted my mobility and eventually led to drop foot. Three and a half months ago, I underwent complex back surgery, involving a lumbar fusion and laminectomy. Following this, I was referred to Andra Schonfeld, owner of Eglinton Physiotherapy, by my neurosurgeon—a referral that has been instrumental to my recovery. Ms. Schonfeld’s expertise in neuromuscular rehabilitation is profound, and her insights are further enriched by her own experience undergoing lumbar fusion surgery just over a year ago. This unique perspective allows her to approach recovery with an unparalleled understanding of both the physical and psychological challenges patients face. Under her care, my progress has been remarkable. In just three and a half months, I have regained mobility, now walking unaided and performing guided exercises with confidence. I have been able to resume many daily routines, all while managing pain effectively without the need for medication, including opioids. This achievement speaks directly to Ms. Schonfeld’s exceptional skill and her ability to tailor a program that promotes long-term recovery. Her professionalism is matched by her genuine commitment to her patients' well-being. She blends technical expertise with compassion, offering encouragement and clear guidance at every stage of the process. Her approach is both methodical and empathetic, ensuring that recovery is not only effective but also sustainable. I unequivocally recommend Andra Schonfeld to anyone seeking rehabilitation after spinal surgery or grappling with complex neuromuscular issues. Her contributions to my recovery have been transformative, and her dedication to her work is evident in every interaction.
Andra is a physiotherapist nonpareil. She was referred by a dear friend when I developed such severe sciatica I could not sit down. Her empathy, knowledge and passion for her trade equipped her to restore me to a normal life. Later, when I injured my left shoulder in a fall, her therapy and prescribed exercise helped me to regain full use of my arm. I recommend her without reservation.
I came to Andra to treat a wrist ligament injury that I had suffered 10 years ago. Andra is an outstanding physiotherapist, and her passion and knowledge are evident from the very first visit. She is also highly professional and approachable, making me feel at ease throughout the treatment. In addition to helping me with my wrist, she also addressed a few other aches and pains that I had. Andra also taught me how to exercise properly to improve my mobility and strengthen my muscles. She is impressive in every aspect, and since my first appointment, I have recommended her to anyone who needs physiotherapy.
In February 2023, I suffered a lifestyle-altering injury that required major spinal cord surgery. I had no mobility whatsoever in my left arm. My surgery involved the fusing of 2 vertebrae in my neck, as well as the replacement of 2 discs. The doctor could not guarantee that movement/mobility ion my left arm would return, but we had to do the surgery. Surgery completed March 28, 2023, 6 weeks of wearing a head brace, then physiotherapy. I was referred to Andra at Eglinton Physiotherapy, mid-May 2023, and did not know what to expect. Prior to attending my first session, Andra asked that I send her copies of all my surgical notes from the doctors as well as any correspondence leading up to surgery. My first session lasted nearly 2-hours. She explained my condition, through the examination of my notes, and then described the method of treatment. At my first visit, my arm still had no movement, the muscles of my left arm atrophied and my fear was that I would be left with no mobility. Every visit thereafter, my arm started to gain strength, although slowly. Andra, showed me daily exercises that I should do that would help with the overall rehabilitation of my muscles as well as give me the mobility that I had lost. One of the great things over this time is that I could really see that Andra cared about me and my condition. I was not just a number to her. She helped with my mental frame of mind as well as my physical condition. Very often, she would check in with me, on how my homework was progressing - she would send a text or make a quick call. As I write this, we are 8 months into my physiotherapy. I’m at 80% mobility of my arm, my arm doesn’t feel alien anymore and I can function normally everyday, with NO pain! Andra says that I’m a walking miracle, I agree, and reply that she is the miracle worker! I’m still visiting Andra every two weeks. My condition improves daily. My physical appearance, on my left shoulder and arm, has nearly returned to pre-surgery. What can I say, I have met an angel that not only took care of my physical, but also made sure to maintain my mental. I highly recommend working with Andra. I’m sure that your results will come out better than you expect. 10- Stars!
Andra Schonfield at Eglington Physiotherapy Boutique Clinic is simply amazing. Truly dedicated to her profession and clients she goes above and beyond expectations. I had severe hip and sciatic pain and had seen many others health care professionals before Andra. I haven't felt better in many many years. She is an inspiring individual.
