I reached out to Sian for intense knee pain caused by patellofemoral syndrome, which would leave me barely able to walk for days at a time. Sian was friendly and professional, and her office was clean and calm. She took the time to explain how my posture was affecting my knee, as well as the rest of my body. After the first visit, she gave me exercises to do at home, which improved my knee pain significantly in a short time. At each subsequent visit, Sian addressed any questions or concerns I had, reviewed which exercises were working for me and which were not, and adjusted my treatment plan as needed. She gave me a lot of advice about how to resume physical activities such as hiking while protecting my knee. Three months after beginning treatment, my posture is better, my knee pain is completely gone, and I have a much deeper understanding of what caused it and how to avoid it in the future. I would highly recommend Sian to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist.

Almost three years ago at age 82, I suffered an acetabular injury that basically destroyed my ability to walk. Six months of hospital therapy was well intentioned -- but given my age -- not of great value. Then I discovered R. Sian Owen because of a friend's recommendation. Her benign discipline and the intelligent structures of her workouts encouraged me in my determination --and everything seemed to come together. As a former teacher I was able to analyse her methodology --and bit by bit add various exercises to activities in the condo pool here. Now -- at age 85 -- I am able to have a normal life! Sian did it! Thank you, thank you, Sian!

I had a stroke in 2014 and have been seeing R. Sian Owen since I got out of rehab. She has helped me not just to mostly (95%, still have a slight limp) recover from the stroke but also to alleviate the usual problems of stiffness and lack of flexibility that come from now being 67. I cycle every day, sometimes as much as 40-50K, and stand up much straighter. She is very knowledgeable and patient.

Sian is a consummate professional whose knowledge and skill gently but firmly guides you through a process of progressive exercise with excellent outcomes.

After working with Sian since hip replacement, my mobility is better than it ever has been and we continue to work toward ensuring on-going mobility and confidence.

I was thrilled to be able to say that my personal experience with all types of medical personnel had been extremely limited - until I arrived at the ripe young age 74 - when I experienced my very first serious accident. I had sustained very aggressive tears in two of my four rotator cuff muscles – which rendered my right arm almost useless. After a complicated, but very successful, surgery I needed immediate and concentrated physiotherapy. I searched intensively for the best - and finally found the VERY best – R. Sian Owen.

I am a very active personal fitness trainer and needed to be ‘whole again’ as quickly as was humanly possible. And once I started my daily sessions with Sian - my new teacher and my healer - I sighed with such relief as I finally felt completely safe and in the right hands - literally.

Not only is Sian the most amazing physiotherapist – exceedingly knowledgeable in so many diverse disciplines – but she has a professionalism and a presence about her that exudes such confidence and total trust. Over our 6-long months together- until she had made me completely whole again – she always radiated calm and confidence, and a consistently positive attitude. This was coupled with her ongoing realistic but optimistic encouragement and a total confidential professionalism.

If I had to sum up Sian in just a few words – I would say: “R. Sian Owen is a consummate and caring professional – who is a highly talented and an extremely experienced and knowledgeable physiotherapist - who consistently gives so much more than she promises. I cannot recommend her highly enough”

I have worked with R. Sian Owen in my home for the past 10 months. After my stroke, I was initially in a wheelchair. I can now walk three kilometres, and am back to running. I am happy with my results. Sian is competent, professional and kind.

I have been receiving regular physiotherapy from R. Sian Owen since August 2008.

I find her to be highly skilled and most pleasant. With hard work and perseverance – on both of our parts – I have been able to maintain movement and flexibility, after suffering several strokes in January 1999.

Sian has helped me immeasurably.

After seeing various health care professionals for a frozen shoulder and for back pain with very little to show for it, I was finally referred to R. Sian Owen.  And I am so glad I was.  Sian suggested various exercises for my back and it is now great.  She also tackled the challenge of my left shoulder which had been frozen for a number of years.  I could barely use my left arm and sleeping positions were hard to find.  Sian recommended gentle exercises that gradually increased the arm’s range of motion – something no one else had ever managed to do. Sian combines extensive technological knowledge with something that is much harder to find – wisdom.  I cannot thank Sian enough for helping me regain the use of left arm.  She is simply the best.
