Testimonials
"Isabelle Richard at Sunshine physio has been excellent! I hobbled in with what was a bulged disc in my lower back in October 2023. With the right treatment, exercise plan and advice I was back on my feet and able to start training again. Consistent treatments throughout 2024 prevented any flair ups and I was able to complete a marathon in October. Very happy with the professional atmosphere and highly recommend!"
"Isabelle Richard is not a typical physiotherapist who works "on" you. Instead, she is a knowledgeable, experienced, trusted partner and advisor on your recovery journey. She listens carefully to you and designs a tailored treatment program. She's helped to fix both of my shoulders and completely resolve a plantar fasciitis issue. I recommend Isabelle to anyone looking for an experienced and caring professional on your physio journey."
"I’m so thankful that I found Denise Brochu at Sunshine Physio. I needed an experienced physiotherapist to partner with me on my rehab for my multi ligament knee surgery. She has so much experience and is very knowledgeable. She works with me during my appointments and provides me with my at home rehab exercises and plan. As a result, we are seeing good progress on my journey. She is so encouraging and an excellent person and physiotherapist. In addition, the rest of the team at Sunshine Physio are excellent. They are all focused on providing great service and helping you with whatever your needs are. I strongly recommend Denise and the team at Sunshine physio. You will not be disappointed."
"Sunshine Physio has helped me so much. I've been a client for over 2 years and was originally referred to their well-known owner/practitioner Denise Brochu. With her help and excellent colleagues, I have much less pain. Isabelle Richard is an outstanding physiotherapist – very knowledgeable and she takes the time to listen. She truly cares about her clients and how they feel, creates detailed treatment plans and follow up, suggests referrals for testing or expert advice like a sports medicine clinic. Isabelle is experienced, very knowledgeable, a good communicator and an excellent practitioner with an extensive list of specialities and modalities that have helped me so much, I'll always be grateful for her. Professional, kind, knowledgeable and effective – I'm happy to provide a 5-start review.

"Sunshine Physio is a very welcoming space. I love the ambiance that the team creates. After more than a year of trying many other methods to find pain relief from an old tailbone injury, a pelvic floor specialist was my last resort. I have been seeing Chelsey for a few months now, and I have to say she has done wonders for me! I haven’t felt this much pain relief and improved mobility since before the injury. I am so, so grateful to have found a physiotherapist that I love, at a clinic that I love right here in Cochrane! Thank you so much for everything!"
"Can't say enough great things about this clinic and staff- right from the moment you enter you feel at home and taken care of! I've seen both Chelsey and Isabelle here and they've gone above and beyond to support me in getting back to being pain free and moving better! I've most recently been working with Isabelle and she is skilled, kind, patient and committed to making sure I reach my goals. I can't thank her enough for all she's done! Would recommend her and this clinic over and over:)"
"Emma is an excellent physiotherapist! I booked with Emma because I had a complex injury and wanted a physio who could provide medical acupuncture as I know from past injuries that needling can significantly speed up my recovery process. She listened and assessed my injury before offering treatment options, including medical acupuncture, and while I don't like needles Emma is very good at making it a comfortable process. I've seen various physios over the years and she is one of the best, I'm grateful to have found her when I did."
"I can only say good things about this office and the services they provide. Staff are kind and the atmosphere is welcoming. For anyone needing advice, information, excellent physio care, and assurance that there is indeed help for women’s pelvic floor issues, Denise Brochu is there for you in every way. I arrived with a feeling of hopelessness and fear, and left with new assurance and confidence to deal with my pelvic floor issues, as well as a plan of self management to continue on my own. Cochrane is lucky to have this facility and Denise’s expertise, and I cannot stress enough that she is your first step to getting the help you need."
"I've done a lot of physio over the years and Sunshine is far and above my experiences anywhere else. Highly recommend!
I'm updating my review to include the Core Physio Yoga Classes. I've had an exceptional experience learning about movement that works for me. Denise is attentive, focused on each individual and makes the sessions fun!"
"I have been going to Sunshine Physio for many years and had the pleasure of visiting their wonderful new location today. My massage therapist Elyse was amazing!!!!! Attentive, a great listener and communicator, she worked out tough tension spots in a way I didn’t even know was possible! I walked in with a very painful hip & walked out feeling so much better. It was honestly the best therapeutic massage I’ve ever had! Thank you to Denise for having such an amazing massage therapist on staff!"
"You saw our client, in the summer of 2012, while he was doing physiotherapy on his knee; thanks for your continued help. He has seen a fair number of medical specialists over the past number of years, in Canada and the US, and you're the only one he rants on about for your excellent knowledge and skills."
