Physio by Steph
17 Totteridge Rd, Etobicoke, ON, M9A 1Y9
My interest in pursuing a career as a Physiotherapist began at a young age while I was training at the National Ballet School of Canada, and often found myself seeking treatment from physiotherapists for various injuries over the 9 years I studied at the school. Now I use my comprehensive dance knowledge to bring a unique perspective to the assessment and treatment of dancers I see in my clinical practice. Following my time spent at the National Ballet School, I attended the University of British Columbia where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics in 2005. From there, I returned home to Toronto to complete my Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto in 2007. I have continued to challenge myself through extensive continuing education. In 2011, I achieved my CAFCI designation, a certification in acupuncture training. In 2013, I completed my Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy exam to receive my FCAMPT (Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy) designation. Since becoming a mom to 2 young girls, I have pursued an interest in women’s health, and am now qualified as a pelvic health physiotherapist. Most recently, I achieved my CIDN designation, a certification in integrated dry needling, and was also named a faculty expert in the Pivot Dancer program.
