"Maja's attention to detail and implementation of the most recent evidence is inspiring. She takes 100% care of me, listens to my concerns, addresses them, and helps guide me on my path to pain-free living. As an athlete, I have worked with several physios and I have never met someone as incredible at Maja. I cannot recommend her enough!!!!" - B. S.
"Maja is the most skilled Physio I’ve ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides a clear program based on your needs. She supported me during my pre-natal journey with pelvic floor physio and I learned so much about all the critical milestones I need to hit in order to prepare for my labour. Most importantly she eased me into my last month of pregnancy by providing excellent physio treatment to alleviate my back and hip pain. After seeing her only for 2 sessions when my back and hip started hurting it all went away. She is also very kind, genuine et is focused on her patient’s needs primarily which shows a lot of care and professionalism. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!! - T. I.
"Maja is probably the best physio I have ever worked with or seen in action. Not only is she technically adept and skilled at her job as a physio, she also has an energetic personality that exudes positivity which makes it easy to work with her to find the right treatment solutions for you! Maja is also the kind of physio that gives people honest advice which will help you understand the exact details of your injury, the prognosis, and the care/exercise work you should be doing in order to recover from your injury efficiently and completely. Lastly, Maja is the kind of physio who puts her patients FIRST. She listens to all of their details, reviews all of their medical data they can provide, and makes an informed decision on her recommendations for what to do next - all while listening to her patients and advocating for them so that they have the best chances at recovery. I am glad that I found Maja and I know you will be, too." - A. P.
"Maja has been an exceptional physical therapist whom I wholeheartedly recommend. Her knowledge, compassion, and professionalism were invaluable throughout my recovery journey.

Working with Maja has been an incredibly positive experience, and I am deeply grateful for her dedicated support." - H. O.
