Physiotherapists are required by our regulatory body (college of physiotherapists of Ontario) to conduct a new assessment on a patient that is new to them. I highly recommend this as it gets you acquainted with them, and it gives you the opportunity to fill them in on your full story. The therapists in this list I either know personally or I know the clinic owner personally and feel confident that you will get quality, continuation of care. If at any time, you do not gel with your new therapist, please let the receptionist or owner of the clinic know so they can help you find someone that will be the best fit for you.

This is my girlfriend’s clinic. I mentored Chana when she first came to the spine and sport clinic, oh so many years ago. After having her babes, she came to work for me at my downtown clinic, and now has grown hers into a wonderful haven for women to receive pelvic health treatments. This is where I send anyone urgent or acute when I am away, also any paediatric needs. She has 4 pelvic physios on staff, all with their own special niches.
Talia, Julie, Agness and Sara returns from mat leave in September. You can read their bios here:
