Following a ruptured achilles, I started seeing Himanshu Balani at Ottawa Physiotherapy in the Glebe. I began physio in September, after 8 weeks of crutches, and told him my goal was to run the Ottawa marathon in May. Himanshu was amazing and had me out of an air caste and walking again in only a few weeks. Less than 4 months later I was back to running and just posted my first 25 minute 5k. Himanshu was knowledgeable and engaged through the whole process, always able to pivot to different exercises to get the best results, being attentive to both my progress and difficulties. He was an excellent guide – pushing my recovery, while also ensuring it was done safely and without risking re-injury.
