Austin Norris RMT, CSEP-CPT: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I’ve been having back issues for years now. I drive a truck for a living, and the constant pain I was feeling became bad enough where I consistently had to miss work or cut my days short. I saw a bunch of different chiropractors and physiotherapists, but at best they provided temporary relief. I was recommended to try Austin from a friend of mine. He crammed a lot of info into my first session and told me with great confidence that if I followed what he tells me, my back pain would soon be gone. He explained the issues I was having differently than the chiros and therapists I saw in the past and what he was telling me made a lot of sense. I can happily say that I haven’t had any back pain in a couple of months now and I am extremely grateful to Austin for his help. I’m able to be active again and do a lot of things I wasn’t able to. And am finally able to work my job without dealing with brutal pain. I’d recommend Austin to anybody dealing with back pain or any other issue. He’s a wealth of knowledge and you’ll realize after your first session just how different he is from every other chiropractor, physiotherapist or RMT you’ve seen in the past
Thanks for the stellar review Tony! Happy to hear you've finally found some solutions!
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and have benefitted substantially from the exercises he suggested. Massage is tough but effective!
Thanks Alicia!
Fantastic experience: Honestly, this person is a magician. If you're after deep tissue massage, personal training, physical rehab, or dealing with a tough chronic illness, Austin’s the guy you want on your team. He combines massage, corrective exercise, fascial scraping, and functional neuroscience therapy to handle whatever you're up against. He even fixed my posture, and it completely saved my back. With 15+ years of experience and loads of advanced training, he’s my go-to when it comes to fitness, rehab, and massage.
Thanks for the detailed review Mark!
Fantastic experience: I'm a fellow RMT and athlete and deal with a chronic complex pelvic/low back injury which, when triggered, can be debilitating. While I've found ways to progress and get stronger on my own (and with the help of many therapists), the problem has persisted. I finally reached out to Austin after realizing he was a wizard when it comes to these more complicated cases. In our first session we focused solely on corrective exercise--a lot of stuff I've never done before, detailed movement patterns that are challenging and intense (which is my jam!), and which I am certain will really move the needle on correcting the imbalances in my body. Austin really is one of the best and I'm excited to get to work on these.
Thanks Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: It’s worth the minute and it’s an intense massage, it hurts but its worth it ❤️
Happy to hear that you had a great experience. Thank you for the review!
Positive experience: Just wish I had realized before going that I was going into someone's apartment. There is a pet snake. Austin is otherwise great at physiological diagnosis and very professional. Judt might not be your vibe if you're looking mainly for relaxation.
Thanks for the review Krystle! Happy to hear you are satisified with my expertise and services! I agree it's important to know that my services are offered in a residence. This is why I mention that I do not offer relaxation massages and that I operate a home practice on the first page, first paragraph of my website ( https://primalmotion.com/ ). As far as my little critter Pugsy goes, he's just a little harmless guy. He's usually more afraid of my guests than they are of him! Hope to see you again soon. :) Austin
Fantastic experience: This guy knows what he’s doing.
Thanks for the vote of confidence old friend!
Fantastic experience: After going to probably 10 + professionals to help me with my chronic neck spasms, Austin was the first person to give me very detailed exercises that slowly worked to make my neck spasms go away completely over the course of 2 months. The exercises were very different from anything I have received before and since committing to them, I went from having 2 necks spasm/muscle pulls a day to now none. The massage is pretty intense, definitely felt a lot of release but the exercises were life changing. Highly recommend
Amazing! Nice surprise to receive this review. Thrilled to hear of our success together. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Austin has been treating my daughter (high-level gymnast) and me for several years and we will continue to benefit from his services for many more. In addition to his expertise in massage he brings a wholistic practice of long-term healing through the development of custom rehabilitation programs that have healed and prevented future injuries. He is a unique healer that anyone who is serious about their physical health should collaborate with.
Thanks for the review Dez!
Fantastic experience: 11/10 would recommend. I had some neck pain from sleeping weird on memory foam pillow while travelling. I'd been to 6 different therapists including massage, chiropractor, acupuncture...and although those helped regain some function and mobility, I still needed to use my "good side" arm to lift my own head upon waking up from sleep, every night. Austin fixed this problem totally within 15 minutes.
Always happy to help. Thank you for your vote of confidence.
Fantastic experience: If you really want your physical issue dealt with. Primal Motion is the place to go. An Inspired treatment that made a difference with my broken ankle recovery immediately.
We're off to a great start! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Fantastic experience: Austin doesn’t give you what you want, he gives you what you need!! Very knowledgeable, very professional and he doesn’t hold back. The sort of treatment Austin provides is exactly what I needed! I have had extreme muscle tightness and no other treatment has been as effective as my first session with Austin.
Thanks for the review! Glad you're feeling great post-treatment!
Fantastic experience: A few years ago my son was diagnosed with a dangerously low bone density condition (fragility fracture). While the condition was treated and monitored at St. Michael’s, he started coming to Austin for exercise training and massage therapy on a monthly basis. Year over year his bone density has improved and now fragility fracture is no longer a threat to his health. Myself is a senior. Recently I was very bothered by back pain. Austin showed me a set of exercises and recommended two protein supplements. While I am waiting for the delivery of the ordered supplements, the exercises work wonders. Still needing attention, the back pain is no longer bothering. Austin knows the human body inside out. He is no doubt a top specialist in the field!
Always a pleasure, thanks Choi!
Fantastic experience: Hands down the most effective treatment I've ever had. I have a crazy amount of muscle tightness and after our first session there was immediate relief, ease, and improvement in my movements at the gym and in my singing that were long lasting, especially with the maintenance exercises he prescribed afterwards. Austin doesn't gloss over anything and both sessions were very thorough. I'm very thankful to have found such a knowledgeable therapist in the city.
Thanks for such a stellar review Noelle!
Fantastic experience: I went to Austin for trap and neck pain. He did deep fascial work that gave me a lot of relief. It was not the traditional message therapy I was used to, it was a quite painful session in all honesty but it helped me feel a lot of relief after! It was also more holistic than other forms of treatment I have received in the past (tigger point, osteopath, sports message) - I would definitely recommend Austin - he knows what he is doing!
Thanks for the review Sam!
Fantastic experience: The massage felt totally professional! He is very knowledgeable. I had arm, shoulder and neck pain and he made me feel better after the massage. My neck is no longer feeling stiff anymore. It was exactly what I needed. and I would highly recommend Austin.
Lovely to meet you this morning! Happy to hear our treatment was a success!
Fantastic experience: It was my first visit, but just after several exercises that Austin showed to me I felt improvement in the range of motion. I would definitely recommend Austin as knowledgeable massage and physical therapist. Galina
Thanks Galina!
Fantastic experience: My old injury in my lower back kept coming back since 2022 until I saw Austin. He explained what might have happened in my lower back and the procedure in details while giving me the treatment. He also showed me the exercises that I can do to recover my old injury. It’s been a month since I saw him, my lower back feels normal after following his exercises. If you are looking for RMT, Austin is the one to go to. Highly recommended.
Thanks John!
Fantastic experience: I randomly found Austin when I was looking for the closest available RMT therapist in my neighbourhood. I’ve had a neck and arm pain for almost two days and I needed to fix it. I couldn’t move my head from side to side and Austin did a great job fixing my problem. He is using different techniques to make sure he can help. If you went for a deep tissue massage a few times and it didn’t help I think it’s time to change a therapist. I recommend to visit Austin and trust his “magic”!!
Thanks for the review Paulina!
Fantastic experience: I have all kinds of lower back issues and Austin was able to provide me with some fantastic stretches and exercises during my first treatment visit (90min) that I could take home and use daily to recover from an injury faster. Money well spent, I highly recommend.
Thanks for the review Steven!
Fantastic experience: When it comes to therapeutic or corrective exercise, strength coaching, or any other type of physical conditioning, Austin is the savant/prodigy you've been looking for. His knowledge of body mechanics is second to none. Recommended!
Thanks for the great review Chris! Happy to see that you are already enjoying results from our work together.
Fantastic experience: I came to Austin with very tight calves and possible tendonitis. Coupled with some deep fascial work, he prescribed me an exercise routine which after a couple of weeks really made my calves both stronger and more supple. It’s something I’ve been trying to crack for years but was able to remedy it in weeks with Austin.
Thanks for the great review, happy to help!
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable; right alway could see my posture problem and the relation with a back pain I have for years. Very assertive the treatment. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review Rafael! Looking forward to seeing the results of our work together!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! Thoroughly assessed the problem and identified strengths and weaknesses efficiently. Gave me many recommendations catered to my particular needs and was extremely knowledgeable in the explanation and demonstration of all exercises. Deep massage/manual work on my muscles and fascia that was definitely needed!
Thank you for the detailed review!
Fantastic experience: I am deeply grateful to Austin. He agreed to see me on the same day, attending a last minute desperate request for help with a very painful back spasm that has lasted for over a week. He did so in the midst of dealing with his own serious injury, which foregrounds the deep compassion that moves his practice. Instead of simply addressing the injury, he quickly diagnosed the roots of my long-standing issue. He provided me with a deep tissue massage along with exercises. While the treatment was not the feel-good kind of massage, I has given me at least 50% relief in just the first treatment. His pragmatic and deeply knowledgeable integrative approach has made me regain confidence in my healing and I am really looking forward to working with him! (I am so tired of those treatments that simply relieve symptoms).
Thanks for the detailed review Carla! Happy to hear we have you on a promising road to recovery!
Fantastic experience: This man saved my life book an appointment and thank me later
Thanks Tianda!
Fantastic experience: Austin really knows what he's doing both from a massage and biomechanics aspect. He has exercise equipment at his office really allows him to teach you how to do exercises that will help you recover from whatever issue you're dealing with. This is a very holistic approach that brings about much faster results. That being said, be prepared for the fascial release to be uncomfortable, but it's worth it due to the effectiveness of his techniques.
Thanks for the detailed review Shash!
Fantastic experience: I began my search for a Massage Therapist mainly because of my frustration of constant Hip, lower back and shoulder pain/discomfort, generally attributed to the stress of my occupation. I saw a number of Physiotherapists and Chiropractors in the last couple years which did help, but only for a short period of time, and then pain would come back again. Austin's assessment was very thorough, fascinating and motivating. He made me a Corrective exercise program to start following, along with a comprehensive explanation about the benefits to each exercise that was given. After following his Corrective exercise program, I've noticed a difference in how I walk, sit and stand. (Also, less discomfort yay) Since visiting Austin my pain has decreased, he knows where the trigger points are, what technique and pressure to use for relief. I've learned a lot from him. I highly recommend Austin, he is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Thanks for the detailed review Monica!
Fantastic experience: I'm very particular about massage therapists. I lead a full life and carving out time for things needs to have a direct and efficient pay off. In my first session with Austin I could tell we would be a good fit. No cookie cutter, feel good swedish massage here. Instead, a posture analysis, exercise recommendations for correcting underlying issues, and targeted massage to best address high priority issues. My first experience with myofacial scraping - be prepared for some markings/bruises (depending on how your body reacts to these sorts of things). He was insighful, organized, timely, highly knowledgeable about the body, and i left feeling more aligned. Will definitely be back.
Thank you for such a detailed review Natalie!
Fantastic experience: Life changing experience with Austin! Truly a professional who knows his trade.
Thanks Andrew! Happy to find some solutions for you!
Fantastic experience: This gentlemen really knows his stuff! Went for a massage, and he addressed the reasons I need a massage, completed a postural assessment and then provided specific exercises to strengthen problematic areas! Highly recommend his services!
Thank you for the kind review Stephanie!
Fantastic experience: I have recurring right shoulder problems. Stems from bad computer posture. I have been to a number of physios over the years. I can honestly say Austin offered the best treatment I have had. He brings a nuanced approach to posture correction that combines warmups, stretching and strenghening. I am very committed to following the program he gave me and plan to follow up for further advice about full body fitness. Highly recommended.
Happy to hear we are off to a great start! Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional therapist. Would recommend to an entire company or sports team. The massage released tension that I had been holding on to for 10 years. I was able to recover and get back to the gym quickly with more range of motion.
Happy to hear you've seen great results after just one treatment! Thanks for the review Caitlin!
Fantastic experience: Wish I could give more stars! I'm a retired Olympic athlete (specialized in Rhythmic Gymnastics) and have had treatments by the best doctors/RMT's around the world...I must say he's the best I've seen and I was absolutely blown away by his service/his expertise and would highly recommend him! I'm so grateful to have come across his practice (Primal Motion) as he was not only able to help me with my headaches/past concussion, he uses techniques I've never seen used before and they are highly effective immediately, had a great massage, and he even wrote me a very informative takeaway email with tons of information to help me moving forward. 10/10 - DO RECOMMEND!
It's always an honor to work with incredible athletes such as yourself. Thank you for such a fabulous review!
Fantastic experience: Fitness and Beyond! Austin Norris, one of Toronto's top Personal Trainers and much more, delivers forward, thoughtful and progressive human services to a full diversity of clients. Primal Motion is a top notch destination designed for anyone looking to engage in quality self improvement options or to challenge themselves to further heights.
Thanks for the review and all of your support these past 14 years!
Fantastic experience: Austin is the real deal. I’ve seen dozens of professionals and he’s on another level.
Thanks Daniel, appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: Austin has helped me through a number of injuries over the years. Unorthodox but extremely effective - highly recommend so much so that I’ve even brought my whole family in to be treated by him at some point.
Always a pleasure working with you Prag. Thanks for the review and your faith in my work!
Fantastic experience: Been to RMTs and Physios for over a decade due to a accident-related injury and ongoing sciatica. Austin at Primal Motion seems to be the only one who's been able to properly get me fixed up and healthy, and sciatica-free. I'm beyond impressed. I'd happily recommend Austin to anyone and everyone.
Quite rewarding to make some great progress on what first appeared to be a very complicated case! Thanks for the review Chris!
Fantastic experience: Austin gave a thorough assessment of my mom's knee/ankle injury and offered massage, posture-correcting exercises and other treatments. My mom was in active pain and left the session feeling *significantly* better.
Happy to hear that your mother is on the road to recovery! Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: astute assessment, recommendations, and training in how to resolve the roots of my movement challenges and pain. i felt better and stronger throughout the session. highly recommend, esp a long session, and phone battery/space to record video coaching.
Thanks for the review Tanya, pleasure working with you today!
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with the team at Primal! Currently a work in progress, but they have helped me in correcting a pelvic tilt.
Always a pleasure to help fellow members of the Canadian Armed Forces! Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: Austin is incredible. As a notorious post workout non-stretcher, I truly need him in my life to fix everything I mess up. He is responsive to my needs and explains *why* I have the problem areas I do. Overall, I leave feel like he’s helped me heal - which I can’t say about the majority of RMTs I’ve seen. This isn’t some foo foo massage. This is the real deal.
Thanks Kylee! Go get it!
Fantastic experience: Austin is fantastic, highly recommend anyone booking an appointment. Treatment / plan is highly customized (unlike many RMTs / Physios, who are hammers looking for nails, giving the same treatment to 90% of people regardless of the unique dysfunctions). Created an awesome approach to help me deal with several issues that have been nagging me for years, pumped to go back!
Appreciate the detailed review Brendan! We're off to a great start!
Fantastic experience: Very unique approach. Very knowledgeable. I am addressing old chronic whiplash and I am certainly hopeful for recovery with his approach as no one has addressed it like he did.
Thank you! Looking forward to finding some sustainable solutions for you!
Fantastic experience: Austin is the best RMT I have worked with. It is not just RMT, he Very knowledgeable, great help with my neck pain, provide video excises which is very easy to follow. Strongly recommend.
Thank you kindly for the review Marine!
Fantastic experience: I got referred to see Austin by a friend when I had an injury in my back. Austin was very confident that my injury was fixable which made it much easier to trust in him that I would get better. He used a method called ELDOA that has changed my thinking in a lot of aspects. Using your own muscles to release tension in different poses, it works very well. He also is trained in a technique called PDTR that I don't fully understand, but I have seen first hand the results of the minor "adjustments" that PDTR can do to fix issues you weren't even aware of. Overall, Austin is a very intelligent person who is well qualified for his work. You can rest assured that he will be able to assess your problem and work with you in a comfortable, confident, relaxed way to get better(yes you have to do the work too...) I would recommend Austin to anyone who is open to new ideas and learning more about what causes their issue. I am excited for change and living a fuller life. PS. He also has great taste in music
Thanks for the detailed review Tom! We're off to a great start and I'm excited to discover where this journey together will take us!
Fantastic experience: Wow! What a unique and satisfying experience. Austin truly pushed me along with my healing when I injured my low back. He provided excellent manual therapy and education. Fantastic!
Thanks Christina!
Fantastic experience: Austin is so knowledgeable and professional. After each exercise I felt better and better. He is truly compassionate to his clients pain and attentive to their needs. He motivates you and makes you see that your healing is an achievable goal. I booked one session and will defiantly book more. Highly recommended!
It was a real pleasure working with you today! I'm very excited to see what's in store for us after so much progress in our first session!
Fantastic experience: Austin was great at identifying where at I was feeling pain, and giving me both treatment and exercises to get better
Thanks for the review Oscar! I'm looking forward to continuing our work together!
Fantastic experience: Austin is a knowledgeable and caring practitioner. He took the time to explain what he is doing and the benefit of the massage techniques he uses and the corrective exercises that he provided me. I didn't feel rushed and always had my questions answered so I could understand the exercises. Whenever I leave after a massage I feel a considerable improvement. The exercises he provided me have helped with lower back and joint pain.
Thanks for the great review Joel!
Fantastic experience: Austin's treatment was fantastic! I came in because I've been having upper back pain for about four months now and he really pined the issue, gave a mega intense treatment that left me feeling years lighter and sent me home with some exercises. I've been doing them for some days now and I can say with confidence that the discomfort is 95% gone. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the great review Pedro!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Austin. I felt instant relief from my chronic pain. He's also a teacher that educates and empowers his patients with exercises and tools to continue the healing work themselves. I wish him many successful years of this empowering work.
Thanks for the great review Kaya!
Fantastic experience: More than just a feel good massage. Austin takes the time to address the issue using other methods/techniques and leave with exercises to do to help prolong the treatment. Combined, I'm beginning to feel like a rock-star again!
Thanks for the review Stacey, we're off to a great start!
Fantastic experience: Austin is super knowledgeable in a variety of body systems, giving him a unique and integrative perspective on presentations of pain. If you're having trouble figuring out your body issues after going to professionals with a narrow scope, I'd highly recommend Austin! He also guides you to honour your body's natural movement, and grow within that framework. Highly competent, easily recommend!
Thank you for such a detailed and confident reccomendation Liana. Very much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: After 2 years of daily back pain, Austin was the professional who finally helped me figure out the right stretches and exercises to remedy the pain. He put me on a plan that initially began with light stretches but progressed into strength exercises to help protect from future issues. Particularly appreciated how he helped videotape me doing the exercises so I could ensure I properly completed them during my daily home plan.
We're off to a great start Steve! I appreciate your faith in my practice methodology! Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: I have seen a lot of therapists for many different injuries I’ve had in the past and I can say Austin has been by far the best. I have learned a lot from him and he has helped me out with treating them the best I can myself from home.
Happy to hear you are enjoying our work together Jack! Thank you for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Austin is a very knowledgeable and experienced therapist. His healing modality is complex and effective. I have had chronic shoulder pain for over a year. Austin was immediately able to assess and treat the issue, and sent me rehabilitative exercises in video format that are great for referencing at home. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone dealing with chronic pain. Austin is in an intuitive healer, grounded in many years of study.
Thank you for your kind review Anne, it's been a pleasure working with you thusfar!
Fantastic experience: Austin sets himself apart from your standard RMT with his extensive knowledge stemming from many types of practice. He’s very fast at diagnosing the root of your problems and works with you along the way. He doesn’t give you a vague responses when discussing his process, you can tell he genuinely wants to help! You definitely will not regret seeking answers from Austin.
Thank you for the humbling review Adam! Happy to offer you the solutions you were seeking!
Fantastic experience: I came in with chronic neck and shoulder pain that I've seen chiropractors, massage therapists and physiotherapists about for years. In an hour and a half Austin was able to get to the root of the issue and was able to increase to mobility in my neck that I haven't had in a long time. I can't wait to keep working with him to help build my strength further.
The kind of work that fuels my fire Gigi! Thanks for your review :)
Fantastic experience: Austin has given me new hope that I will be able to improve my health and strength. Looking forward to to working with him!
Thanks Jenn, we are off to great start!
Fantastic experience: Austin has helped identify issues that no other practitioner was able to diagnose. I'm not an athlete or circus performer but I strongly appreciate the high standards that he holds for everyone's body and personal development. Simply put, treatments from Austin are life changing.
Thanks for your review and kind words Jesse! Always a pleasure working with you!
Fantastic experience: Austin is just great! I would highly recommend his services for anyone that is looking to tweak their daily workouts to maximize results He’s full of knowledge and very supportive all around.
Thanks Thuan!
Fantastic experience: Austin is by far the best RMT I have encountered. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and effective in treating patients' needs, he is also an incredibly kind person who is super passionate about his job. My first session with Austin was in May 2018, and 10 minutes into the conversation I knew he would be someone who I would repeatedly go back to whenever I have issues. He has great experience in this field and is an expert at what he does. He is able to find the root of the problems and know how to treat the issues in the most efficient and effective way every single time I went to see him. He also manages to make our conversations fun and meaningful throughout the sessions, which helped to alleviate the pain during the treatment process. Austin is my go-to person when I have injuries or chronic pain. If you are looking for a highly skilled RMT who can resolve your issues, I would not recommend anyone else other than him. Thank you so much Austin for treating my chronic back and shoulder pain with care. I wish I could give you 10 stars!! Best, Selina
Thank you for your very kind and detailed review Selina. It's also a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your confidence and faith in my practice. It's the stuff that keeps the fire burning strong :)
Fantastic experience: Austin has helped so much with injury and strength assessment, thorough explanation and great follow up. Thanks!
Thanks Libby! Always a pleasure to work with such incredible circus artists such as yourself!
Fantastic experience: I went in for a treatment feeling worn out, beat down, weak, tired, lacking my usual chutzpah. Afterwards I felt 4000% better, I had energy , the pains that were troubling me all week were gone. It was almost as if I was a different person. I can't thank Austin enough. He is my go to and a true master of the craft. Not your Grandpa's RMT, that's for sure. I wish I could add a bonus 6th star.
Certainly the most entertaining review to date. Thank you for making my morning with this review Joel!
Fantastic experience: My first session with Austin has given me the confidence necessary not to be afraid of using my leg properly. Austin taught me the beginnings of connecting mentally with my body. Already, through knowledge, mind and stretches my leg is feeling much better! Why go to Physio when you can go to Austin!!
We're off to a great start, thank you!
Fantastic experience: I have seen Austin twice in the past couple of months and I'm very impressed with his technique and level of expertise. I've been suffering from a herniated disc L5-S1 for almost 2 years now and I have seen different physiotherapists and RMTs but it did not help much or alleviate some of the pain. In the first session with Austin, he made me do some exercises that allowed me to regain some flexibility which I had completely lost. He's great and I have booked my third follow up appointment. I highly recommend seeing Austin if you've been suffering from chronic pain and tried things that did not work for you. If you haven't tried anything yet then you'd be lucky to start working with him as this would be a great start to your healing process.
So happy to have helped you make a significant breakthrough! Thank you for your kind words Basma!
Fantastic experience: Austin was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the human body. He offered fresh insight and corrections for injuries I have been dealing with for Impressive knowledge of neuro-cognitive injuries and eldoa for spinal injuries. Reccomended!
Thanks for the review Allison, we're off to a great start! :)
Fantastic experience: Very professional. Knowledgeable, and confident in what he does.
Thank you! It was lovely working with you!
Fantastic experience: I am impressed by Austin. He is very kind, thorough and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone.
Happy to hear our initial posture assessment and therapeutic exercise prescription was a great experience! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Austin is a very accomplished practitioner. He is passionate about his craft and continually expanding his knowledge base. I’ve seen numerous sports rehab specialists and Austin is in a league of his own. Very attentive, organized and professional. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
Happy to help you find some well deserved solutions! Thanks Chris!
Fantastic experience: Austin has been a huge help in my quest for a pain free body and balanced posture. Having accumulated multiple injuries and imbalances during my 27 years of life it's been hard to determine what to do and in what sequence and how to integrate rehab into my daily life. In one 90 minutes visit he was able to assess my major weak spots and lead me through a personalized routine of corrective exercises that have been so helpful since then. It's only been a week and a bit and I've done the routine 4-5 times and each time I finish I feel better, out of pain, and more strong/integrated in my posture. I highly recommend working with Austin if you've been dealing with chronic pain/mobility issues and want to feel stronger and more balanced than you have before.
Thanks for this kind and detailed review Bryan! It's rewarding to hear that I've helped you make a significant breakthrough on your healthcare journey :)
Fantastic experience: Austin is an incredibly knowledgeable and attentive individual. I really appreciate his recording every exercise that he wants me to do to improve my posture while also explaining the logic behind what he's having me do. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their posture or to simply improve their physical performance.
Thanks for the review Sagy! It's been a lot of fun working together thusfar!
Fantastic experience: The postures and strengthening exercises that I have learned from Austin are fantastic. I have been dealing with a rotator cuff injury and his work with me is making a big difference . I recommend Austin very highly. Thank you.
Happy to hear you're on the mend after just a couple of sessions, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Austin Norris is a very knowledgeable therapist. His practice spans multiple disciplines and he has a thorough base in each.
Thanks Miriam :)
Fantastic experience: I did 3 sessions with Austin Norris. My initial goal was to get targeted workouts / corrective exercises for my lower back & core as I have constant pain & inflammation as a result of minor scoliosis. I wasn’t sure what to expect & was very grateful that my expectations were exceeded. Austin is very knowledgeable. I now have a better understanding / awareness of my back problems / how to deal with it. The new exercises I’ve learned have already been helping me tremendously. Highly recommend him / these programs.
It's been a pleasure working with you Paul! Thanks for the review :)
Fantastic experience: Austin provided me with my first treatment for my right arm which was quite sore from work related repetitive motion (tennis elbow). It's now one day after and I can say that my arm feels noticeably better and I have full range movement with no pain. Aside from the treatment he provided me with an extremely extensive Eldoa program to relieve pain in my upper back and to strengthen my back. I appreciated that fact that he is trying to give me the tools so that I can do the exercises I need to be stronger and to not rely on treatments. It was a wonderful and informative experience and I'll be going back. Sidenote, I have also never received as satisfying a deep tissue massage as this. He was really able to get in there. A+++++++++++++
Thanks for the review Joel! Glad you had such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Ausin is very accomodating (rushing down from a training to accomodate an appointment with me) and professional. As for the treatment itself, Austin is extremely knowleagable and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. I am highly impressed - the treatment itself really helps to release some "stuck" areas and I know have a collection of exercises to help me long term.
Thanks for making our treatment a part of your weekend in Toronto Lauren! It's always a pleasure to work with a fellow movement therapist and circus artist! Hope to see you again next time you're in town :)
Fantastic experience: Efficient. Fast-paced. Performed all checks (or most of the checks) on the affected / related areas. Ask enough questions to understood what went wrong with your body. Chiropractor would not do as much and would not necessary fix it for you, at least not my chiropractor. He also provides exercises for yourself to relieve tensions from the muscles, as well as strengthen the muscles to prevent similar happenings in the future. Totally recommended.
Thanks for the review Cathy! Happy to hear I was able to help you find some relief!
Fantastic experience: I have seen many RMT's through the years to try and relieve my back, hip and neck pain. Nothing seemed to really help...that is until I found Austin. With just one visit Austin was able to significantly reduce my pain. I could hardly bend over when I walked in the door for my appointment. Austin led me through specific movements and then told me to move around to see how I felt. I was blown away and could not believe the difference! I felt so much lighter and could bend over without the pain I walked in with. I wish I would have found him sooner. I am looking forward to working with Austin and excited about finally finding a truly amazing therapist who gets results!!!! Onwards and upwards!
Thanks for the review Vikki! I admire the strength and perseverance you have displayed along your fitness and wellness journey!
Fantastic experience: AUstin is amazing. As a fellow therapist I have co-treated patients with him and he is always very thorough in his assessments and willing to work as a team to get people the best results. Austin is one of the most passionate practitioners I have met. He loves to learn and put his mind and body to the limits. You will never be bored working with him and I am sure he will help you do things you haven't done in years or things you've never done but always wanted to, for some a push up for others a back flip.
Thanks Melissa! Always a pleasure collaborating :)
Fantastic experience: This was by far the most advanced RMT session I have ever experienced. Austin is on a very differnt level than past RMTs I've visited. This is a very good thing. Austin was able to advance the deep tissue work on my back and I left feeling better and further educated on my role and what I needed to do to maintain things in between visits. He is very detailed and explains virtually every step of your treatment. Get ready to as Google a few anatomy questions after your session :) Many thanks Austin. I'll be booking a follow up session very soon. Looking forward to having you as a long term member of my health care team!
Such a detailed review with so many kind words. Thank you! I hope you are keeping well! Until next time:)
Fantastic experience: Austin is very knowledgeable and technical with his approach. He's a one of a kind therapist - definitely recommended for performance artists and those who take their physical practice seriously!
Thanks Calvin! Always a pleasure to work with fellow manual therapists and performance artists!
Fantastic experience: It was not what I expected but very glad I visited. Austin is very professional, knowledgable and easygoing. My neck issues were improved a lot after his treatment/exercises. Very unique experience and will recommend to my friends.
Glad you found my integrated approach effective! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Austin has so much knowledge, and is so open to share it with his clients. I look forward to booking more appointments with him!
Thanks Madison, see ya again soon!
Fantastic experience: First time meeting with Austin today for a minor shoulder injury. I can’t imagine anyone in Toronto that could match his knowledge, approach, treatment and kindness. I’m 100% satisfied with my treatment and will be following up.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to continuing to work together, this is just the beginning!
Fantastic experience: I was working with Austin to improve my physical fitness. We were going through a session and I was experiencing really bad neck pain, which had been chronic. I had been experiencing that chronic neck pain for years and it had also caused other areas of pain in my body like lower back pain and headaches. The pain was really preventing me from progressing towards my fitness and health goals. Austin introduced me to PDTR to try to help me with this, and amazingly during one session with him he was able to release the root cause of my neck pain. I am so very happy to share this story because my pain has been healed, my mobility has improved, and my overall health and vitality has been restored. Austin incorporates complementary modalities to find the best solutions. His approach is intelligent, knowledgeable, intuitive, and holistic. With his guidance I was able to move closer to my goal of achieving optimal health. I would highly recommend working with Austin for pain relief, increased mobility, and physical conditioning.
Thank you! Getting to the bottom of your chronic pain has been really rewarding for both of us! It really showcased the power of applied functional neuroscience therapy for chronic pain.
Fantastic experience: Austin took him time to really understand my pain, and worked through it with me. His athletic background helped understand what movements I do, and what I put my body through on any given day. He gave me exercise homework and checked in with me the next day to see how I was feeling. I would definitely recommend him to others and will see him for any future injuries.
It's always a pleasure to work with such athletic performance artists such as yourself! Thank you for trusting me with the physical care of your injuries!
Fantastic experience: I walked in to his clinic the first time and the best way I could describe myself would be “Mr burns” style of posture, I was going threw some horrible lower back pain, within the first 15 minutes I had gained back about 70% of my mobility, and by the end of our session I walked out almost 100% with great posture and I was able to put my socks on with ease. Very happy with my experience and he was able to see me very quickly.
Thanks Tom! That's just your old MMA injuries coming back to haunt you! It's been a pleasure helping you work those out together these past 6 weeks.
Fantastic experience: As a therapist myself, I respect the work and the intelligence Austin holds when it comes to the body- pinpointing how and why there is an ‘irregularity’ in the movement of my body. I had been to a few different kinds of therapists to help me regain my full natural motion in my knee. I’m very active and it was frustrating to have the injury....With no luck, until Austin. He holds a high level of professionalism and passion with an ever growing want for knowledge in assisting his clients. He will inspire you to move through your goals-whether it’s simply relaxing and de-stressing the body, conditioning through strength with corrective form or rehabilitation.
Thanks Marie!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Austin for 3 years, and I have seen him in several capacities; for corrective exercises and as an RMT. I have been to several RMTs in Toronto over the years and I cannot say enough good things about Austin, he is VERY knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He is always taking courses and gaining more knowledge to provide an excellent level of care. I would highly recommend him.
Thanks for the review Chris, always a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: A caring wonderful Humanitarian, with humour, knowledge and poise. I have seen him at one of his workshops, I was blown away. A very good bedside manner. I wish him the best in his life's work. A very Proud Mother.
Of course you would! Thanks Mom! <3
Fantastic experience: Austin Norris is a remarkably educated and well-practised movement coach, with the ability to incorporate multiple advanced modalities to best serve his clients. It has been a ton of fun and educational to work with him!
I'm forever grateful for the opportunities and lessons you've facilitated for me Amy! It's always a pleasure to co-treat and share patients with you. :)
Fantastic experience: Austin is a caring, knowledgeable body expert who uses a multidisciplinary approach to treating injuries and pain and helping you maximize your physical potential. Not only did he give me exercises to correct the mechanics of my shoulder, but he also restored my sense of hope that healing was possible. I had lived with an injured shoulder for nearly two years, and just weeks after starting on his exercise regimen I have had significant improvement and a reduction in pain. Really grateful I went to him for help.
Thanks Alex! It's deeply rewarding to hear that our treatments have inspired some hope and empowerment.
Fantastic experience: yeah bro that was great looking forward to more thanks Austin!!!
Always a pleasure Joe! Hope you're keeping well!
Fantastic experience: Austin is absolutely amazing! He is dedicated to being the best in his field, very knowledgeable and skilled in what he does. He understands what your body needs and delivers you exactly that and more. His "home take-away" exercises will be a great addition to that rejuvenating feeling you'll have after leaving his sessions. The best RMT I've had in a long time.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I saw Austin for the first time today for a deep tissue and corrective massage and was blown away by his knowledge and how thorough he was at explaining his methods and techniques, why he's doing them, and how it affects my body. I learned a lot from just 1 session already and I'm excited for the follow up sessions!
Thanks Rena!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Given that this was my first class with him I didn't quite know what to expect. He given great explanations into the theory, differences and benefits compared to stretching, mobilization and other self therapies. The session was definitely paradigm shifting. Will try to get back for more.
Thanks Dan!
Fantastic experience: Excellent ELDOA workshop! Austin’s understanding of the body and it’s connections is very impressive. I loved that he came around and made corrections so that we could really feel the exercises. Thanks Austin!
Thanks Ellie!
Fantastic experience: Austin is super knowledgeable and very understanding. Had an excellent experience and felt much better after the appointment! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks John!
