On the Mark-it

I’ve been several times for massages and it’s amazing. The staff is great and really make you feel comfortable.
And the price is good too!

I was experiencing muscle tension on my right calf and used On the Mark-​it for their massage therapy services. They were able to book me on short notice. Katie is a great RMT and really loosened up my right calf. The staff are super friendly and helpful to assess what your needs are. Prices are reasonable considering they are downtown Toronto.
On the Mark-​it is my go-​to spot for any physiotherapy needs.

2 years ago I developed sciatica on my right side after an aggressive yoga class combined with lots of heavy lifting. Since that cleared up I’d been dealing with back pain and associated hip and leg aches especially when I worked long hours on my feet.
I found On The Markit through Unilocal and decided to give it a try, even though I’d been to two chiropractors in the past with largely unnoticeable results.
After assessing my condition Dr Erika Bell recommended a combination of stretching, ART massage, and acupuncture. I began noticing results after the very first treatment and after three sessions my condition is markedly improved. The rest of the staff have been equally professional and great to deal with. I’d recommend Dr Bell without hesitation if you’re looking for an awesome chiropractor.

I saw Erika when I had excruciating pain in my neck and having problem with sleep.
Erika carefully listened to all my complains and built a conversation around my lifestyle to paint a complete picture about source of my problems.
She educated me about acupuncture and after just a couple of sessions my sleep came back, problems with neck are gone now. I am happy again. Erika taught me to stretch my neck and back to prevent future problems.
Erika and other stuff members are very kind and helpful.
I highly recommend On the Mark-​it. It’s a place to get help and learn how to avoid problems in future.

I hit by a car (which left without checking to see if the person they’d left on the street was okay) as a pedestrian on my way to work a couple of years ago which left me with a pretty bad knee. It went out regularly, hurt almost constantly, and just generally didn’t feel right.
After MUCH encouragement from my husband, Mom (an RN) and finally my doctor, I decided to visit a physiotherapist. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, and honestly, I picked on On The Mark because they were just a short distance from my house. I will never be hesitant about Physiotherapy again. Not only did they help my knee get better at an alarming speed, every visit was also about pain control. It was wonderful. The location itself is also great, with a bus route across the street, ample street and a parking lot across the street and a lovely, spacious clean facility. The people there are also wonderful, and I’ve referred my Mom, husband and several co-​workers since then, all became quick and ardent fans as well. I’m now going on more than a year with a knee that works great, and is pain free.

A few years ago, I injured my hip during a vigourous cardio class. For a long time afterward, I had a lot of problems with it. I felt pain deep in the hip joint after only a minute or two of walking. I never sought medical advice because I thought, what could be done about it? What would I be told? Just «rest it», probably, right? So, I put up with the pain whenever I walked anywhere. My philosophy was that everyone in the world has their aches and pains, there’s nothing that can be done.
One morning, the day after a long walk along the length of the Danforth, I woke up to a numb right leg and sharp back pain. This was sudden and serious enough to force me into action. I searched online and found a nearby sports medicine/​physiotherapy/​chiropractic clinic where I could get an immediate appointment — On The Markit. It was definitely embarrassing to explain that I had hurt myself four years previously and that I was only then looking for treatment.
At the clinic, I had four sessions of ART, «active release techniques», administered by Dr. Serena Granzotto, a chiropractor. This involves very deep massaging while the muscle is in use. If I understand correctly, the goal is to break down scar tissue from the old injury which caused other muscles or tendons to get ‘caught’ when I walk.
Here is the big surprise: after only four sessions of ART, my hip pain was almost completely gone. I now have to walk for an hour on concrete sidewalk before I feel what I used to feel after just three minutes. I can’t believe that so little treatment could make such an improvement to an old injury. Most of all, I’m shocked that a chiropractor and a physiotherapist could actually help me because I never had much faith in or respect for their fields of expertise.
Here’s what I’d like to pass on to you: if you’ve got an injury or illness that bothers you, get treatment. Do it now! Don’t be foolish like me: I hobbled around for four years for no reason. If you’ve been putting up with a chronic condition for a long time, do something about it!
On The Markit is a bright and spotless clinic located in Liberty Village just behind the Brazen Head pub. Leigh, the main guy at On The Markit, was really good during my initial appointment. Even though they treat plenty of professional, real athletes, I didn’t feel out of place getting treated here. I came for four appointments within two weeks and my problem was dealt with. I was also given a set of exercises to do at home to strengthen my injured muscles. I’m not sure what the cost per visit was, since I have chiropractic coverage in my insurance, but the staff is really helpful so go ahead and call them for pricing info.
