Jessica Pontarollo earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2025 and her Bachelor of Science in Honours Kinesiology from McGill University in 2021. After completing her undergraduate degree, Jessica became a Registered Kinesiologist and gained experience as an athletic trainer assistant with the OJHL Pickering Panthers and as a strength and conditioning coach at Everest Academy. These experiences inspired her to pursue her Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) designation through the NSCA to further develop her skills in high-performance training. Throughout her training and education, Jessica has worked with a wide range of patient populations, including sports medicine, orthopaedics, return-to-sport, concussion management, vestibular rehabilitation, and neurologic conditions. During her final year of school, she worked with USC Athletics and D1 collegiate athletes, where she gained valuable experience in interdisciplinary care and the importance of treating the patient as a whole. Jessica prioritizes evidence-based practice and combines a movement-based, patient-centred approach with a strong background in exercise science to help clients recover, perform, and return to the activities they love. Jessica is excited to be back home in Toronto and to continue expanding her clinical knowledge through further education and specialization in acupuncture, sports physiotherapy, and manual therapy/manipulation, allowing her to best support her clients. Outside the clinic, Jessica enjoys baking sourdough, running, weightlifting, golf, trying new activities such as pottery, and exploring the city for the best cup of coffee!
The physiotherapist will assess the issue by testing the area of concern. Once they have established the diagnosis and the best course of action, they will commence treatment which can include: manual therapy, acupuncture, exercises, and other forms of care.
