I have had back & hip problems for years, since being in a severe automobile accident. Williams Reyes was recommended to me by a friend, after I shared with her that I’d had unpleasant experiences with other masseuses in the area. I arranged for a trial massage with Williams, which was so good, I immediately booked him for weekly massages.
The fact the Williams is a qualified physiotherapist means that he has extensive knowledge regarding muscles, joints, & tendons. This enables him to use the correct procedure & the right amount of pressure.
He also advises me on changes i can make in my body dynamics, to reduce stress on my body.
Williams has a great personality & always makes me feel relaxed & comfortable while he works on me. I highly recommend his massages.

When we bought our apartment four years ago, we came across a folder left by the seller with his recommendations. One of them was for Williams Reyes for Physical Therapy.
Both my husband and I have back issues so this was perfect timing. We arranged appointments with Williams who was prompt and professional. After listening to our complaints, he started exercising us and left exercises for us to do independently between sessions.
It did not take long for our recovery; however, we could not loosen the leash on Williams. For years now, we each have engaged Williams for massages once a week. It is almost like a religious ritual and we do praise his healing hands.

I met William when he was sent to me by my doctor after knee surgery for physical therapy. He brought a Tens unit machine, a big massaging machine & along with gentle exercise instruction, he also gave my knee a lovely massage.
I was pleased that my Confiamed insurance covered most of his PT charges. At some point he told me he also gave 60 & 90 minute massages, in my home. He is a fantastic & very professional masseur! Always on time. Strong fingers and hands gentle and firm.
I would recommend William wholeheartedly for either physical therapy or massages.

Physiotherapist Williams Reyes has provided excellent massage therapy for my needs for several years. He is very skilled in locating painful musculature and providing relief.
Williams is always responsive to requests for daily exercise routines and ongoing life improvement efforts. His English is excellent and his good humor and encouragement are down to earth.
I am pleased to recommend Williams to help you enjoy good health through his services.

I have known William for over 4 years both as a friend & as the man who literally saved my daily functioning.
I have two artificial knees & I was able to walk pretty well, but then in 2019, I had major, 5 hour long , back surgery.
It was devastating to me when I realized that I could barely walk at all, even with the help of two crutches.
And then thankfully, I met William, he did a battery of tests on me, taking over an hour & 30 minutes to determine the extent of my problems.
He then developed a program for me, under his guidance, to work with me hours a week to get, not just back on my feet, but also, to get me walking again.
I consider what William was able to achieve on my behalf, was nothing short of a miracle.
Today, at 80 years of age, I am doing well.
William is a truly lovely person, he has a great sense of humour, & while he is very patient, he will enforce what has to be done to get you moving again.
He has fluent English, & as I said earlier, I consider him to be a friend.
If you have any kind of problems with functioning at a high level, do not hesitate to contact William.

I have experienced back, hip and leg pain for several years. I tried medication, ointments, supplements, acupuncture and heat and ice. I tried physical therapy with other therapists. All to no avail. My husband began to have shoulder pain radiating down his arm. Several friends of ours had used Williams post surgery with good results, so we decided to ask for a consultation with him. I have never experienced such a thorough exam, even by medical doctors, as the one Williams performed.
Williams truly cares about his patients and he cares about us living our best lives. He is experienced in working with older adults and is very knowledgeable in the differences in our abilities and our capabilities.
Both my husband and I were extremely pleased with the care and the instructions for home therapy with Williams. We both progressed with strengthening the muscles needed to help eliminate our pain.
We have had physical therapy by other therapists and none were as capable as Williams. If we ever need physical therapy again, he is the only person we would use.

I recommend Williams Reyes as an excellent Physiotherapist. With me he was knowledgeable, diligent and very patient. Williams worked with me for a year, I had a complete hip replacement on my right side. I had a hip replacement on my left side six years previous that I didn’t rehab properly and it was weak and that showed when I had the right hip replaced.
Williams had to almost teach me to walk, to balance myself. He used electrical muscle stimulation to get me over my soreness, strengthening exercise and other tenchniques to get me walking properly and today I workout at a gym four times a week and play golf with no evidence that I have both hips replaced.

Williams Reyes : compasionate, intuitive, observant, excellent diagnostic skills, humorous, professional, supportive, punctual.
I was so fortunate to have a life filled with good health – and then came retirement…….In five years, surgeries for hip, knee, vertigo, a stroke now arthritis. All in all, I still am extremely fortunate, because I had Williams by my side at every step of this journey.

Williams is an exceptional masseuse. He is very trustworthy, providing consistent care through massage.
He also recommends things to help your health. He is kind to work with you, adjusting his expertise to the client’s needs.A massage with Williams always makes the day so much better.
Scott E.
Williams is a kind and honest businessman whom we’ve known for almost 3 years. He is skilled in physical therapy and massage.
He has become like family to us as my PT has ended and maintenance with massage continues for me. My family also employs his massage services monthly.
We have recommended him to several friends and acquaintances in Cuenca and will continue to do so. In short, he’s an outstanding human being with excellent massage and PT skills.

I have both scoliosis and osteoporosis. I knew that I needed a physical therapist, or I would just get worse. I found Williams on Gringopost, where he had many positive reviews.
For the first few months Williams would come to house, after that we switched over to a gym. He is a terrific physical therapist, and a has a great personality. Over the past 8 months, my back has straightened, and my strength has improved a lot.
I would definitely recommend Williams for physical therapy.
Brian S.
I have had massage all over the world and Williams ranks among the top three massage therapists I have encountered.
In contrast to a typical massage where the same sequence is followed over and over, Williams employs an intuitive approach where he senses what you need and that’s what you get.
I cannot give him high enough marks… you WILL be satisfied.
Holly D.
I wholeheartedly recommend Williams for physical therapy!
He has helped my husband and me with vertigo, back and arm pain. Williams speaks excellent English, is well trained in physical therapy and massage.
He comes to our house for the therapies, which is very convenient for us. He is professional and is always on time.
Williams is great at figuring out where the problem is and works to help you become free of pain, without drugs.
Bobette J.
At a time when I’ve been going through some serious health issues, Williams has made my life much more tolerable.
He is sensitive to his clients’ needs, he’s extremely competent, and flexible. His treatments change as his patients’ needs change.
I have been very happy with his services and really like the fact that he comes to your house.
He was recommended to me and I want to recommend him to you.

I highly recommend anyone with physical therapy needs/issues to consult Williams Reyes.
I searched for a physical therapist in January, 2022 when John was discharged from hospital after a mini stroke. A fellow expat’s recommendation came over as -“You will not find a more qualified, thorough and solid caring young man so wise for his years – I highly encourage you to approach him and see for yourselves, you will not regret it”
On a difficult journey, I grasped a lifeline; he ‘nurtured’ us through a very dark unsure time. Physical therapy is a very personal decision. Ours was a necessity and our forward life’s journey was reopened through hard work and dedication on both sides. Williams never gave up.
P.S. His English and personal presence are first class.

I worked with Williams to rehabilitate my shoulder after rotator cuff surgery for a serious injury (two shoulder muscles were completely torn, both in thickness and width; one of them had been torn for years). It’s been a long process, but I now have full mobility and am primarily focusing on strengthening.
Williams uses a variety of techniques in addition to exercises (electrotherapy, massage, stretching), and I can tell you how each of these techniques has contributed to my recovery.
He offers in-home care and is fluent in English and Spanish. Williams is as friendly and approachable as he is professional, and it’s always a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend Williams for your physical therapy needs.
Pauline F.
My physical therapist, Williams Reyes, is patient, encouraging and motivational even when I give him a hard time and don’t want to work up to my ability.
He is very knowledgeable (fully licensed and certified), intelligent, and positive. Williams communicates effectively even though English is his second language.
I am comfortable with him and most important, trust him to know what is best for my recovery. I highly recommend Williams Reyes.

I highly recommend Williams Reyes, a physical therapist of Venezuelan origin, who is registered legally in Ecuador and further, certified in manual therapies. He has a 5-yr physiotherapy degree and a 3-yr nursing degree, as well as five years of experience as a physiotherapist. He has worked with me over a multi-month period following bilateral knee replacements in the US.
I had several physical therapists in the US, and feel Williams has a superior level of skills. He is quite systematic in developing a plan of treatment with incremental steps and challenges. He often incorporates massage and stretching into sessions.
He works with a diverse base of clients, ranging with issues like strokes, orthopedic issues, sports injuries at their homes, and is generally heavily booked.
He is supportive and compassionate and has excellent interpersonal skills.
Ron G.
After reading a strong recommendation for Williams in GringoPost I contacted him. Smartest thing I’ve done in a long time. My challenge was a bunion that had been a constant source of pain.
Through therapeutic massage, fascial release and structured exercise, Williams has helped me to achieve seriously reduced pain and increased mobility.
My progress has been steady. Trained as both a nurse and a physiotherapist, Williams has the perfect background to help his clients/patients to stay on track to realize their physical fitness goals.
He is a positive and fun person and time spent with him is highly productive.
Lenny Charnoff.
I highly recommend Williams Reyes as both a Masseuse and Physical Therapist.
Over the past two years he has helped me with lower spine and neck issues. He is bilingual having devoted 5 years to learning English. He is very responsive to your texts and emails.
He made videos of our physical therapy sessions so I could refer to them during my exercises.
I have had 5 different massage therapists during my 14 years in Cuenca and Williams is by far the most experienced.
Russell B.
I found Williams on GringoPost. One of his clients recommended him. As my Physical Therapist, he knew what exercises I needed for my scoliosis pain. Williams is a certified expert in the therapies and trainings that he offers.
He will offer his credentials if asked.
He speaks excellent English. He will come to your house, Prompt, courteous, professional, and a good friend.

After a traumatic cycling accident that shattered my hip and required a full prosthetic replacement – followed by a dislocation just five weeks later – I was left with extensive damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, and in need of expert, compassionate care. I found Williams Reyes through community Facebook recommendations, and I am so grateful that I did. Williams is a trained nurse, licensed physical therapist, and highly skilled massage therapist. From our very first session, he demonstrated a profound understanding of my complex injuries and tailored each treatment with professionalism and care. I also have a very rare genetic connective tissue disorder that he had never encountered before, but he took the initiative to research and educate himself about my condition so he could provide the safest and most effective care possible. He is always learning – constantly researching to stay abreast of the latest scientific developments and to remain at the top of his field.
At one point, Williams could see that my physical healing was being hindered by fear and emotional trauma, and he gently encouraged me to see a therapist – an insight that made a significant difference to my recovery. When I had completed the goals of physical therapy, he told me to move on to a trainer at the gym. Though he could have continued charging me for PT sessions, his integrity would not allow it. Since completing physical therapy, I have continued under his care through massage therapy, which he delivers with the same insight and dedication that made my recovery possible. I am proud to have him as an integral part of my health team. I wholeheartedly recommend Williams to anyone seeking a professional who combines deep clinical expertise with honesty, empathy, and a true dedication to his clients’ well-being.
