Background
Hi, I’m Joel, a Physiotherapist with a deep passion for helping people feel their best. My journey into physiotherapy began after dealing with a personal injury in my youth that left me questioning how to restore my body to full function. Through my own experience with rehabilitation, I discovered the power of physiotherapy in not just healing injuries, but improving quality of life, and that’s when I knew I wanted to help others the same way.
Over the past few years I have come to really enjoy treating and working through vestibular disorders and TMJ dysfunctions (temporomandibular joint). These conditions can be incredibly frustrating, affecting everything from jaw pain to dizziness and balance issues. I’ve seen how these challenges can impact people’s daily lives, and I’m committed to helping my patients regain control and comfort through tailored, hands-on care. My approach is rooted in understanding that each person’s journey is unique, so I take the time to really listen and create individualized treatment plans that address both the symptoms and the root causes of discomfort.
Whether it’s easing jaw pain, improving balance, or guiding you through the steps of recovery of any injury, my goal is to empower you to not just heal, but thrive. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
