Mandi Hayes

“Last April I experienced extreme pain from a herniated disc that caused sciatic pain down my right leg with numbness in my calf. Not even the strongest pain meds dulled this pain. Mandi was recommended to me by a colleague at work who had had the same diagnosis earlier that year ... As a nurse I was aware of anatomy and physiology and had had physiotherapy in the past but had never heard of IMS. I have never met a physiotherapist who is as skilled and experienced as Mandi. Mandi explained everything that was happening to my body, and what it would take for a full recovery. I had weekly, then biweekly sessions of IMS, as well as exercises that Mandi taught me. I am pain free now and the exercises are a regular part of every day to keep me healthy. I see Mandi only occasionally as needed now. I do not hesitate to recommend Resolution Physiotherapy & IMS to anyone I meet, friends, family or patients who suffers from chronic pain or injuries! I can’t thank you enough Mandi, for helping me get my back pain resolved!!”

“I began having issues with my head in 2014. I spent 2 years going to every therapist and health care provider I could think of but unfortunately no results. Finally I was led to Resolution Therapy in Barrie . After one session with IMS I had some relief. My symptoms were a fuzzy feeling in my head as well as constantly hearing my rather loud pulse which was really hard to cope with. I have been going to Resolution now for 4 years and the IMS as well as a mouth guard recommended by Mandi Hayes. I only go every 3 months unless things act up again. Every therapist is exceptional, polite, friendly and amazing. Jenny the gal who looks after bookings is so efficient and helpful this clinic is a class act.”

“Mandi is a genius and continues to fix all my old injuries! Thank you!!”

“Mandi and her team are a life saver. Many years ago I wrecked my back at work and she has been able to get me back better then ever using gunns IMS treatment along with home care. As well they have shock wave therapy that has been able to fix a nagging shoulder injury.” ”

“We were at a point with my daughter being in pain that we were hopeless. After just the first visit we are so hopeful that we are on the right path for her to be pain free.”

“Mandi has incredible energy and relentless in helping people through their injuries. Can’t thank her enough!!”

“I have worked with many physiotherapists over more than 30 years as a professional and as a client and I can honestly say Mandi Hayes is the best of the best! She is not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced but she cares about getting you better. She loves a challenge. She is always positive, encouraging and professional, as her whole clinic and staff. I’m extremely impressed with Mandi, her team and Resolution Physio and highly recommend them.”

“I can not say enough about my positive experiences at Resolution. I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanine and more recently with Mandi. Everyone that I have spoken to at the clinic has been nothing but helpful and extremely friendly. Jenna is lovely to speak with when booking appointments and goes out of her way to quickly respond to inquiries and accommodate needs. I am truly appreciative of being able to receive physio from Mandi during this pandemic. I am recovering from an ankle replacement surgery and without being able to work with Mandi during my post-op recovery I would not be able to progress anywhere close to the extent that I am. She is incredibly knowledgeable and I feel fortunate and confident in her care that I will continue to progress and reach the long-term goals that we have set. I huge thank you to an amazing clinic and staff! You truly do make a difference :)””

“I have been seeing Mandi for many years. She was the only one who was able to relieve my neck pain with IMS. Recently, I had a total knee replacement and I give all of the credit for my quick recovery to Mandi. Her work on my knee prior to the surgery made the physio and exercise program much easier for me to handle. I was quickly able to bend and straighten my knee and soon could walk normally. Mandi encourages results, but at the same time makes you want to reach that goal. She always has a positive attitude. I have recommended Resolution Physio and especially Mandi to many. I also make the drive from Toronto just to go to Resolution.” ”

“We first met Mandi at a professional event after we relocated to Barrie many years ago and were immediately smitten with her level of passion and knowledge of the body and its workings and how Gunn IMS and physiotherapy can maximize the body’s wellness and healing. My husband and I are general dentists and worked closely with Mandi to best serve our temporomandibular joint dysfunction patients until our retirement.
When I sustained a spinal injury while out of country a few years ago, Mandi was one of the first people I considered to become part of my recovery team.
I can honestly say that Mandi’s expertise guided me on my path to recovery, when a wheel chair seemed like my only option. She and her team worked tirelessly with me to regain my mobility and independence. Jenny always assured I had follow up appointments, and Mandi helped me set personal goals and tweaked my system as it required over the years to help minimize my discomfort and roadblocks.
We are incredibly grateful for all Mandi and her highly skilled team have done for us and our patients over the years!!”

“I came to Resolution about 9 years ago as a client. I had nerve damage in my shoulder/arm. After several treatments I was able to raise my arm above my head. I continued for about 8 months and have never looked back. The IMS was amazing. It was literally night and day. I cannot thank Mandi and her team enough for hiw they helped me to recover. I was so thrilled with the treatment and the clinic, that I actually joined them in the front office. I have not looked back since. I would recommend everyone to at least try the IMS before giving into pills or surgery.”

“Mandi at Resolution Physiotherapy & IMS Clinic was able to alleviate my knee and back problems that were 25 years in the making. After multiple knee surgeries and years of back problems, I never thought anyone would tell me they could help me improve my mobility in any concrete, long-term way. Instead of treating my symptoms, Mandi has found and addressed the root cause of my pain and restricted movement through her creative problem-solving approach and innovative methods. If I hadn’t experienced her methods and felt the profound changes myself, I would not have believed it possible to feel the kind of improvements I have.”

“Two years ago I had a back operation for my herniated discs. My surgery was a success as I had less pain but it was not gone completely. I returned to work but was unable to sit for much more than an hour without suffering discomfort. My love for running was put on hold months before the surgery and appeared to not be returning in the future. I then meet Mandi Hayes. She treated me with IMS and after 3 or 4 treatments my pain was significantly better! She then started intense manual therapy in combination with IMS and I was then able to sit without pain! I was even able to start running again! Before I started treatment with Mandi I was coming to terms with the fact that I may always have pain and that my life was going to be different because of it. Mandi is committed to making her patients better and because of her expertise, I have my life back! ”

“I just want to say that Mandi Hayes has physically and mentally helped me in my recovering for endless years of pain, as she has also help my daughter get back up on her feet again to play OBA basketball. She is a dedicated, caring, knowledgeable, person that has given me hope to the future. Her staff makes you feel very welcome and gives you those extra customer service that is so hard to find these days. They all go above and beyond what you would get anywhere else. But most of all, they treat my condition that I can live to my fullest. I have been to handfuls of doctor’s and specialist, but lucked out when Dr Howard, another amazing specialist referred me to Mandi Hayes. IMS has been one of few things that have helped me over the years!! I would and do recommend Resolution Physiotherapy & IMS Clinic to everyone!! Thanks Mandi!! A+++++++++++++++.”

“Mandi Hayes changed my life. For too many years to count (approximately 20), I suffered greatly from fibromyalgia along with some arthritis in recent years. Walking was difficult, particularly going up stairs. As long ago as 2002 I went up the stairs on all fours (never in public of course) as it was easier on my hips and back.
Occasionally, when I would have severe flare-ups, I would sometimes use a cane to ease the pain.
Originally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I first went to the chiropractor on the referral from my doctor since I was crying in my sleep from pain as was told to me by my partner. After trying many things to help me, I gave up and for numerous years used a TENS machine which did help a small bit but not very much.
Late in the summer of 2010 I once again asked my doctor for help as I was really at my wits end with the pain - I had tried pain killers but did not like them, nor did they help all that much. I was then referred to Mandi Hayes and her Physiotherapy Clinic. It was the best thing to ever happen to me.
The night immediately after having my first IMS treatment, I was able to turn over in bed, which I had not been able to do for many years as the pain was too severe. I was amazed at the quick results from the first visit. Continuing on with the treatment plan the pain became less and less, still slightly present but incredibly not as unbearable as previously. I even began sleeping through the night which was wonderful as I spent most nights awake with my pain.
IMS can help just about any kind of pain; it’s as simple as that. A trained professional in IMS such as Mandi can turn your life around if you just give it a chance. Don’t waste time considering IMS, just do it - you’ll be glad you did.”

““We would like to thank Mandy for checking out our daughter, Grace, for a second opinion to ensure she is diagnosed and treated in the best manner.
We absolutely love the care and attention our family gets at Resolution.
All of the staff so is friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. We know we are in the best hands:)
Thank you.””

““I have seen physiotherapists my entire life for a variety of reasons due primarily to sports related injuries. Mandi truly is an AMAZING therapist. She is a master at problem solving and makes sure she does everything she can to help you recover and get back to Sport as soon as possible. She goes out of her way to help. I just love her.””
