Massage, acupuncture, chiropractor, physiotherapy, counselling & more! St. Visit: www.YellowGazeboClinic.com.
Clair West, Toronto's center for massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, physiotherapy, osteopathy, psychotherapy, naturopathy and more! "The best in natural health care under one roof."
Your massage therapist might start noticing things before you even get on the table.
The way you walk, your posture, whether you're favouring one side of your body. These can all offer clues about how you're feeling.
But as Diana, one of our Registered Massage Therapists at Yellow Gazebo, explains, it's important not to jump to conclusions.
Sometimes what looks like a bad mood might actually be stress or pain.
And understanding that is part of providing thoughtful, compassionate care.

There’s a lot more to physiotherapy than you might think.
Meet Jigna, one of our Registered Physiotherapists at Yellow Gazebo!
Jigna has additional training in pelvic floor physiotherapy and concussion management, alongside her experience treating a wide range of muscle, joint and movement-related concerns.
Recently, Kemiya spent some time with Jigna learning more about pelvic floor physiotherapy, while I got to experience some of her concussion assessment techniques firsthand.
Two very different areas of care, but the same thoughtful, individualized approach.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pelvic floor concerns or dealing with symptoms following a concussion, Jigna works with patients to understand what’s going on and develop a treatment plan that fits their needs.
And as you’ll see in some of our upcoming videos, my own session with Jigna turned out to be rather interesting!
After 14 years of running Yellow Gazebo, I've learned that we can't always help everyone. But that doesn't mean we stop trying.
We've had the privilege of helping thousands of people over the years, and we're incredibly grateful to be part of the St. Clair West community.
This year, we're celebrating our 14th anniversary by bringing our neighbourhood together for a fundraiser supporting Seeds of Hope!
Here's what's happening:
Silent Auction | October 29 – November 8:
We're gathering wonderful prizes, services and experiences donated by generous local businesses. You'll be able to browse and bid online, with proceeds supporting Seeds of Hope.
St. Clair West Passport Weekend | November 6–8:
Pick up a free passport at Yellow Gazebo or a participating business, then explore the neighbourhood collecting stamps from six different participating locations.
Bring your completed passport back to Yellow Gazebo to receive a small thank-you gift (while supplies last) and be entered into a draw to win one of three massages!
No purchase necessary to participate.
It's a chance to discover local businesses, support a wonderful cause, and celebrate the community that's supported us for 14 years.
We hope you'll join us!
Headaches, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue and neck pain. A concussion can affect people in different ways.
I sat down with Jigna, one of our physiotherapists at Yellow Gazebo, to talk about some of the common symptoms she looks for when assessing patients after a concussion.
And as you'll see in upcoming videos, this conversation took a rather unexpected turn for me.
No single practitioner has all the answers. Not even me. And I'm pretty great.
When I started Yellow Gazebo, I wanted to build a clinic where people could get the care they actually needed, not just the care one practitioner happened to offer.
Fourteen years later, that's still what we're trying to do.
Different perspectives. Different expertise. One team working to help people feel better.
Welcome to *Here's the Thing*, my new series about health, how we do things at Yellow Gazebo, and why the answers aren't always simple.
Knee pain doesn't always mean doing the same exercises every time you see your physiotherapist.
In this video, we're bringing together several moments from a real follow-up session with Yang, one of our physiotherapists at Yellow Gazebo.
Watch how he works with his patient, adjusting exercises and building on what they're able to do.
It's a nice look at how physiotherapy can progress, one step at a time.
Have you ever been surprised by an exercise your physiotherapist asked you to do?
How far should your knee actually go over your toes?
As Yang explains, there isn’t one “correct” answer.
Letting the knee travel farther forward can make an exercise more quad dominant, but that doesn’t make it wrong. It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish and, in my case, how my knee is doing as I get back into the exercise.
Sometimes a small change in position changes what you’re asking your body to do.

I’ve been on St. Clair for 14 years now, and it’s funny how much history can fit into a relatively short walk.
I started at Yellow Gazebo and headed toward Wychwood Barns, passing a few places that have become part of my life along the way.
Pukka is one of them. I’ve known Harsh and Derek for years, I love what they’ve created there, and their food is still in regular rotation at our house.
Then there’s Mabel’s. In the first couple of years after opening Yellow Gazebo, I was still running the reception desk myself, and I went there almost every day. Eventually I was able to help build the amazing admin team we have today, but walking into Mabel’s still takes me back to those early years. I stopped for a coffee this time and somehow ended up chatting with a stranger who was reading their sandwich board. Just another little neighbourhood moment.
I’ve also known Frank, the owner of The Rushton, for years. During my 25 years working in restaurants, I got the chance to spend a summer there. I worked with a lot of great people over the years, but that particular team was special. It was one of those rare times when the whole group just clicked, and I still look back fondly on what a great summer that was.
And then there’s Bracondale House. We’ve helped raise money for them in the past, and I’m grateful they’re part of our community. The work they do supporting seniors matters: our seniors don’t always receive the respect and support they deserve, and places like Bracondale help bridge that gap.
Eventually I made my way into Wychwood Barns, found a bench, finished my coffee and wandered around for a while. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Yellow Gazebo as a clinic, and this was a nice chance to look back and reflect on some happy memories.
After 14 years, it’s pretty hard to separate the clinic from the neighbourhood that grew up around it.
Why would your physiotherapist have you train just one arm at a time?
Sometimes it’s easier to focus on good form when there’s less happening at once. And as Alice explains here, working one side at a time can also give your core an extra challenge as your body works to stay balanced.
Sometimes taking something away from an exercise changes the challenge completely.
We’ve all done it.
A warning pops up. We’re busy. We click “Remind Me Later” and keep going.
Our bodies can be a bit like that too.
A little stiffness. Poor sleep. Low energy. A headache that keeps coming back.
Not every little symptom means something is wrong. But when your body keeps sending you the same message, it might be worth paying attention.
