Mesken Gumussoy
Physiotherapy Resident
I believe every healing journey is a path of possibility—full of growth, breakthroughs, and moments that reveal your true strength. My mission is to walk beside you through every step, empowering you, lifting you up, and keeping your focus on the goals that matter most. My greatest joy comes from seeing you rediscover your potential and return to the activities and passions that light up your life.
Many people come to me with pain, stiffness, or movement limitations that hold them back from living fully. Whether you are an athlete striving to get back on the field, parent eager to play with their kids, or someone simply hoping to move freely in daily life, my focus is always understanding your unique story. I take the time to identify the root cause of the issue, not just your symptoms, and create a plan that fits who you are and what you want to achieve.
When we work together, I take a hands-on, individualized approach designed just for you. My goal is not only to relieve discomfort, but also to restore functional movement and make everyday activities feel easier and more enjoyable. By the end of each session, I want you to leave feeling stronger, more mobile, and confident in your ability to keep progressing.
Outside the clinic, I draw inspiration from nature, practice yoga, read, keep a gratitude journal, and enjoy connecting with friends around the world.

Justin Pagcanlungan
Physiotherapist
I believe recovery is about more than just getting rid of pain – it’s about giving my clients the confidence to get back to the things that they enjoy. What drives me is helping people move past fear or frustration, and showing them that they’re more capable than they think. To me, success means seeing someone leave the clinic not only feeling better, but also equipped with the confidence to keep improving on their own.
When you come to see me, you can expect a treatment plan that is clear, collaborative, and tailored to your goals. My treatments focus on both immediate relief and long-term progress, which I achieve through hands-on manual therapy along with exercise, movement training, and education to help you feel in control of your recovery. On top of my treatments, I aim to blend in a mix of encouragement, learning, and strategies you can carry into your daily life.
Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me playing some type of sport – whether it’s on a soccer field or a basketball, tennis or pickleball court, or exploring new food spots around the GTA. I love staying active and applying the same passion for movement and health to my own life that I bring to my work with clients!
Conditions I commonly treat:
- Concussions (acute and chronic/post-concussion syndrome)
- Sport & work-related injuries (e.g. sprains, strains, tears, tendonitis, overuse injuries)

Rimsha Amin
Physiotherapist
I believe that physiotherapy isn’t just about rehabbing an injury or helping to eliminate pain – it’s about helping people feel at home in their bodies again and getting them back to the parts of life they’ve been missing. I love the challenge of turning what might feel like a frustrating or overwhelming process into something positive, encouraging, and sometimes even enjoyable. The most rewarding moments are when patients tell me they were finally able to do something they hadn’t done in months, whether that’s playing a sport, picking up their kids, or simply moving without pain. Those small victories are what drive me, and they’re what make this work so meaningful.
When you work with me, my priority is making sure you feel truly heard, cared for, and safe throughout the process. My treatment approach combines hands-on care through manual therapy with personalized exercises and microcurrent point stimulation using Dolphin NeuroStim. A big part of my approach is also education – I believe that when patients understand their condition and their progress, they feel more confident and in control of their recovery. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan that’s tailored to your specific goals and needs, so you always feel the rehab journey is yours.
Outside of the clinic, I’m a big believer in staying active myself – I religiously aim to hit 10 000 steps a day and won’t rest until I’ve hit that goal. I love spending time with friends, reading, and rewatching my favorite movies and TV shows (sometimes more times than I’d like to admit). I’m also a huge basketball fan so if the raptors are playing, don’t bother calling – I’m busy.

Dr. Kyle Gill
Chiropractic
Let’s get this out of the way: I am not the kind of chiropractor that sees you for a 5 minute adjustment and prescribes 3 visits a week for weeks on end. I am deeply passionate about helping people heal, which requires taking the time to listen (both with my ears as well as my hands) and incorporating a wide variety of therapies tailored to what we’re trying to achieve each session. My superpower is having an extremely sensitive sense of touch (perhaps a byproduct of my inability to smell) so my patients are often surprised that I can pinpoint the “exact spot” of discomfort. I hope being under my care shows you how potent chiropractic can be as a tool to support your healing and keep you feeling your best.
My career began with a focus on mastering the art of delivering a precise, powerful and comfortable adjustment. I attended tons of seminars, mimicked adjustments in my workouts, and learned to adapt to each person’s unique anatomy. These adjustments restore smooth movement to your joints, while also relieving tension in nearby muscles and helping your body return to proper alignment. I have since learned several nervous system-based techniques to provide a well-rounded, holistic treatment on top of the adjustment. I alleviate muscular tension by finding the root cause with NKT for long lasting relief. I help regulate and bring balance to your nervous system through Craniosacral Therapy and Dolphin NeuroStim MPS Therapy. Those two are often my patients’ favourite because they decrease pain and inflammation, increase your body’s ability to heal, and leave you feeling relaxed and floating on cloud 9. Then there are times when deep tissue work is done with cupping, gua-sha scraping and spinal decompression. Everybody needs a different mix and I’ll always work to find the right recipe to help you reach your goals.
Most people are surprised to discover that behind my gentle and warm demeanor, is someone who loves to mosh at a metal concert. But then the next weekend I could be at a meditation retreat learning to work with the subtle energies of the body.

- Headaches/Migraines & Concussion

Dr. Tasneem Abbass
Chiropractor
I believe healing and recovery are best achieved through a combination of evidence-based chiropractic care, active patient participation, and healthy lifestyle choices. What sets me apart is my commitment to using the latest research and tailored treatment plans rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing patients regain function and return to the activities they love. For me, success is defined by empowering clients with the tools and knowledge to sustain long-term health and independence.
In each session, my goal is to reduce pain, increase strength, improve movement, and help patients feel more in control of their recovery. I combine evidence-based techniques such as soft tissue therapy, gentle adjustments, mobilizations, neurofunctional acupuncture, Dolphin Neurostim, and targeted exercises to address both the source of discomfort and overall function. Patients often leave feeling looser, more balanced, and empowered with practical strategies they can use beyond the clinic to aid in their recovery journey.
Outside the clinic, I love keeping active at the gym and playing sports like basketball, volleyball, and soccer. I spend most weekends discovering new restaurants or experiences around the city, and I’m always excited to travel and explore new cultures whenever I get the chance.

Mathew Hughes
Physiotherapy
I believe healing isn’t just about getting rid of pain—it’s about helping you rediscover what lights you up in life again. That’s why I love waking up each day for this work: watching someone go from barely getting through the day, weighed down by pain, to stepping back into the things they love with energy and confidence.
I do that by really listening—digging deeper than the surface, to figure out why something happens, not just where it hurts. My approach is a mix of hands-on techniques (like soft-tissue and joint work) and nervous-system-focused tools such as Neurokinetic Therapy, P-DTR, or micro-current point stimulation with Dolphin NeuroStim (depending on your needs). I combine those with functional stretches, mobility progressions, and lifestyle insights so you can carry that progress beyond the clinic—whether you’re gaming, getting back on the field, or just feeling like yourself again.
I’m as committed to your body as you are—to not only helping it feel better, but helping you understand it. Together, we’ll create a recovery path so that your body supports—not limits—you, every single day.

Jonathan Leung
Registered Massage Therapist
I know how frustrating it can be when pain keeps you from moving the way you want. My job is to help you not only feel better now, but stay better long-term. After working professional sports for more than a decade, I’ve found that looking at both the body’s “hardware” (muscles, fascia, soft tissue) and its “software” (movement patterns and habits) is what helps people finally overcome lingering issues. That way, we’re not just chasing symptoms — we’re fixing the root cause.
Every plan is built around what matters most to you. For some, it’s exploding off the line quicker on the ice. For others, it’s finishing a heavy lift without the hamstring flaring up, or getting through a long work shift without the lower back screaming. And sometimes, the win is simply being able to bend down to play with your kids or walk through the park without pain slowing you down. Together, we’ll set clear milestones and follow a roadmap so you always know what progress looks like.
To get you there, I blend hands-on treatment with Neurokinetic Therapy® testing, Dolphin Neurostim protocols, and Neuro Reconditioning exercises. This combination helps release restrictions, reset compensation patterns, and retrain your body to move better. My goal is simple: to help you feel stronger, freer, and ready to get back to the things you love.

Megan Hughes
Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker
In a world that often encourages us to push through or numb our emotions, therapy provides the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and move toward meaningful change. Our stories and our history shape not only our thoughts and beliefs, but our whole nervous system.
In my practice, I prioritize connection and meeting clients where they are, creating a safe and supportive environment to explore experiences without judgment. I see therapy as a collaborative process; we work together to identify current challenges, and what progress, change and healing would look like. My eclectic approach to therapy draws from different techniques to support individuals in reaching their goals.
Goals for therapy can range from learning tools and strategies to cope with current stressors, to doing a deeper dive to figure out where patterns come from. Then as therapy progresses, people often describe feeling lighter, empowered, more confident and resilient, and ready to take on life.
I strive to create a comfortable space where therapy feels natural, not daunting. Clients are often surprised by how much laughter can show up alongside the deeper work—I’m here for all the feels!

- Anxiety

Julia Juhas
Physiotherapy Assistant
Julia is a professional performing artist, Embodied Mindful Movement Coach + Certified Yoga Teacher with over 25yrs experience as a practitioner and guide. She completed her Yoga Teacher training in 2015 at the highly regarded Esther Myers Yoga Studio (EMYS) in Toronto where she currently teaches a variety of classes and workshops.
In the middle of Julia’s career as a professional dancer and music theatre performer, she suffered two devastating events; a rare knee injury and a diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Both impacted her basic functionality of movement and almost ended her career as a dancer. These events inspired Julia to shift her approach to movement and yoga to explore a practice that offers more sustainability, functionality, mobility and longevity. Discovering this profound ability to heal through somatic integration, imagery, breath & embodied mindful movement is exactly what inspired Julia’s passion for helping others unravel their tension and pain to live and move with ease.
Her approach is unique in nature. It’s meditation in motion, a deep nervous system massage; slow, gentle, embodied and mindful. It invites those who apply her approach to develop a practice of patience, encouraging the practitioner to go at their own pace and explore and discover the unique language of their body and patterns of holding that impede the way they function on a daily basis.
