New 12 months Reflections and Objectives


It’s laborious to imagine we’re approaching ten years for the reason that doorways of Propel Physiotherapy’s first location opened in Etobicoke. Again in 2016, we have been a small staff of roughly 10 therapists, a few us pretty new to the occupation however expertly guided by our founder Kyle Whaley.

The mission he laid out was easy: present top-notch rehabilitation look after individuals with neurological and sophisticated orthopaedic situations. Through the years, that mission hasn’t wavered. What has modified is how a lot we’ve grown and in consequence the variety of lives we’ve got been in a position to contact alongside the best way.

For individuals who don’t know me, I’m the managing director and a co-owner at Propel. I used to be fortunate sufficient to be one of many members of that first small staff of physiotherapists in Etobicoke.

It has been my nice pleasure to see our clinic develop from a single location in Etobicoke to a thriving apply with further places now in Pickering and Peterborough. And to be frank, we’re not accomplished rising but!

Constructing the Basis

To have the ability to keep true to our mission whereas increasing, we’ve got targeted on constructing the muse—a basis of evidence-based care, rooted in companies like Bobath/NDT evaluation and remedy, guide remedy, useful train prescription, movement-based therapies, and mindfulness. If that seems like a mouthful, it’s—however belief me, it’s all about tailoring care to fulfill every shopper’s distinctive wants.

Purchasers with distinctive wants and targets require uniquely crafted approaches.  Though there’s a time and place for fast appointments and modalities, we imagine the 1:1 care, longer classes, and guided remedy plans assist to enhance the affected person expertise. Most significantly, with further construction, steering, and time spent with us, individuals are in a position to get hold of longer-lasting modifications and bridge the hole between being a affected person and being an advocate for their very own well being.

For instance, we’ve taken many purchasers requiring in-home physiotherapy remedy, and progressed them to an ambulatory state to allow them to attend classes within the clinic. As their targets change, we’re additionally in a position to foster an atmosphere for self-care, like repeatedly attending yoga or native group strolling courses on the group centre, for years to return.

On that very same observe, one other factor that units us aside is our dedication to assembly shoppers the place they’re—actually. Our clinicians repeatedly go to shoppers at their houses, long-term care services, and assisted dwelling residences. For a lot of, this makes all of the distinction. It’s about making certain entry to care, regardless of the circumstances. Seeing the grins on our shoppers’ faces once they notice they will regain mobility, independence, or just a bit little bit of normalcy—that’s why we do that.

Increasing Companies and Experience

Our means to influence so many individuals in Southern Ontario and past has been largely to our immensely proficient staff. Not solely have we expanded geographically, we’ve been in a position to added a variety of area of interest companies delivered by our numerous and expert staff of well being professionals.

Immediately, these choices embody pelvic well being physiotherapy, paediatric physiotherapy, occupational remedy, hand and higher extremity remedy, and even water-based therapies in group swimming pools. It has been unbelievable to see the optimistic influence these further companies have made on our shoppers’ lives.

Lifelong studying isn’t only a buzzword round Propel; it’s a price we stay and breathe. To that finish, we’ve made investing in steady studying for our staff a precedence. Through the years, we’ve organized studying occasions, each particular person and group, whether or not it’s an off-the-cuff lunch and be taught with certainly one of our staff members who has lately acquired coaching at a vestibular course, or a group accomplice presenting alternatives for caregivers and shoppers alike. A few of our coaching classes may be a little bit nerdy at instances – however they’re what retains us sharp. In spite of everything, our shoppers deserve nothing however the perfect.

Extra lately, we launched new roles, together with our Training and Volunteer Coordinator place to assist bake a development mindset into the tradition, in addition to train and encourage future generations of well being professionals.

Partaking with Our Communities

But it surely’s not nearly what occurs within the clinic. One of many issues I’m most pleased with is how we’ve got engaged with the communities we serve. Through the years, we’ve hosted networking occasions, free workshops, hands-on in-service training seminars, and mentorship packages for youth, along with sponsoring and collaborating in charitable occasions that help our business associations.

As a part of our 10-year anniversary celebration, we’re wanting ahead to creating larger connections to the communities we serve and giving again in ways in which go far past a remedy session.

Heartbeat of Our Enterprise

As we strategy this milestone, we will’t assist however mirror on our journey. From our humble beginnings in Etobicoke to 3 clinics and 40+ workers, it’s been a wild trip. Every location has its personal distinctive vibe, however the coronary heart of Propel stays the identical: a dedication to serving to individuals transfer ahead with life within the face of well being challenges.

Our shoppers are the heartbeat of our enterprise. Whether or not it’s serving to a stroke survivor regain their independence, guiding a baby with developmental delays by way of remedy, or just giving somebody the instruments to handle continual ache, each success story reminds us why we began this journey within the first place.

Wanting Forward: Propel’s Imaginative and prescient for the Future

And whereas we’re celebrating the previous decade, we’re additionally wanting forward. Plans for a fourth location are already within the works, and we will’t wait to introduce our companies to a different group in Ontario.

As we kick off the brand new 12 months, I wish to take a second to thank everybody who’s been a part of our journey. To our shoppers, thanks for trusting us together with your care. To our workers, thanks on your dedication, experience, and keenness. And to our communities, thanks for welcoming us with open arms. We couldn’t have accomplished it with out you.

We’re tremendous enthusiastic about the way forward for Propel Physiotherapy. If the primary 9 years are any indication, the long run is shiny. Wishing everybody an incredible 2025 full of love, laughter, and train. A lot gratitude and love from all of us at Propel Physiotherapy.
