My husband was a healthy, active and productive 75-year-old when he was diagnosed with Stage-4 Esophageal Cancer. After four rounds of chemotherapy, he was admitted to the ICU where he was stabilized. That said, the treatment and its side effects took a tremendous toll on his body causing him to lose over 40 pounds, leaving him emaciated, atrophied and extremely weak to the point that he required assistance repositioning in bed.

Once he was transferred to a floor, we were referred to Martin Nguyen from Réadaptation Mobile to supplement the physiotherapy that the hospital system was able to provide. Martin evaluated my husband and with attention to his threshold, introduced exercises in keeping with his capacity. Martin visited regularly there and later at home to maintain momentum, which meant that my husband did not have to displace and was seen privately and in the comfort of our home environment.

Martin is not afraid to challenge, while avoiding over-exertion, always checking O2 and pulse with his Oximeter, ensuring they are within range. Martin arrives with equipment, from yoga mats, to weights, for my husband to use between visits. There is also a ‘personal space’ on his website where tailored videos of the current program are uploaded for reference and modified as he goes along. Answers to any email are responded to promptly.

Martin has a patient, professional, flexible and encouraging approach to service which helps in healing. He looks at the whole picture, inquiring about nutrition, sleep, emotional state etc., with the understanding that they all intersect with one’s physical recovery. Martin has also connected with the Oncologist, keeping multi-disciplinary channels of communication open, which is appreciated by the physician and us.

My husband was discharged from the hospital 3 months ago and is doing remarkably well. He is lifting 15-pound weights, walking stairs and has resumed functional activities faster than we ever thought possible. Martin has clearly played an invaluable role in my husband’s physical and psychological rehabilitation.

We remain grateful to Martin, giving him and Réadaptation Mobile an across-the-board, Five-Star rating.

With much appreciation,

Bonnie

My name is Cornelia Necula and I am the sister of Dumitru Tudorache who has been a resident at the Centre d’hebergement Saint-Joseph-de-la Providence, Montreal, Quebec since 2022. I live in Ottawa, ON and I visit my brother every three weeks.

I am writing this letter to sincerely compliment Mr Martin Nguyen, Physiothérapeute à Domicile, for the excellent care and services he has rendered to my brother for the last 2 months. He has been offering an impeccably high standard of care, and he is going above and beyond to help my brother resume his walking, which it has been heavily deteriorated in the context of severe medical comorbidities.

He has always kept me updated, and sent me videos with my brother’s evolutions and developments.

Martin, thank you for providing my brother with in- home exercises, following up with him in between, and pushing him every session to walk so that he can get back to full range of motion and no restrictions.

I have to admit that the compassion, with which he has been treating my brother, has been more effective than any medicine! He is a perfect combination of responsibility, genuineness, care, warmth, knowledge and professionalism.

Martin, on behalf of my brother and myself, please accept our heartfelt thankfulness for working so delicately and professionally and for bringing a difference in people’s life.

I met Martin a year ago, when I was finally cleared for physio after breaking my kneecap. He is my hero! When we first met, I couldn't stand or bend my knee. The beauty of at-home physio is that he was able to adapt the exercises to my home environment, using my kitchen counter and staircase as tools. He helped rebuild my atrophied muscles and restored my confidence after a devastating accident. Martin quite literally helped get me back on my feet. He's a wonderful physio and the reason I was able to take on 'difficult' hikes this summer."

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Martin Nguyen for his dedicated work and extensive knowledge in the field of physiotherapy. As such I am very grateful for the outstanding care he provided as my physiotherapist. His expertise and genuine concern for my well-being have made a significant impact on my recovery journey.

Mr. Martin Nguyen is not just highly skilled in his profession but also possesses a rare combination of empathy and encouragement. His positive attitude has been a driving force in keeping me motivated and optimistic throughout my rehabilitation. The personalized approach he takes in tailoring exercises to my specific needs has been instrumental in my progress and because of it I feel well-supported and confident under his guidance. It has been a privilege to be in his care.

Je suis présentement traitée par M. Martin Nguyen physiothérapeute. Depuis la première rencontre j’ai constaté son professionnalisme et son implication dans son travail. Il sait écouter, comprendre et agir avec beaucoup d’attention. Il s’assure de notre compréhension. Étant compétent et consciencieux il a toujours une solution qui donne confiance. Je suis grandement satisfaite et remercie Martin pour l’amélioration de mon état de santé grâce à ses exercices et conseils, cela à chaque rencontre et je n’ai pas à me déplacer, un plus. Je recommande vraiment L’ÉQUIPE RÉADAPTATION MOBILE.

I have had a few physiotherapists help me over the years. Martin is by far the most caring and dedicated. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to explaining how the body functions and the benefits of the movements you are performing. Since starting sessions with Martin, I have noticed an improvement in my overall conditioning. I am looking forward to continuing my journey with Martin.

Professionel. Il est un excellent physiothérapeute et digne de confiance. Martin aide une femme de 82 ans qu'a subie une intervention pour une hache brisée. C'est merveilleux ce qu'il a accomplie. Elle a retrouvé son équilibre et peu marcher. Je le recommande sincèrement. Merci Martin. Tu as accompli un vrai miracle.
