Joanna

Joanna is a founding member of Wintergreen Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic. Joanna provides physiotherapy treatments for all sports injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. She specializes in vestibular physical therapy, for which she has had the honor to work with some of the Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons at Toronto General Hospital.

Joanna grew up in Wayne Gretzky’s hometown, Brantford, Ontario. She had always wanted to be a physiotherapist and had a keen interest in sports injuries and their treatment from early on. She attributes this to her father, who was the team therapist for the Polish soccer team. Having grown up in a home environment geared towards sports injuries and their treatment, she wanted to flavor other professions, and so, Joanna studied Contemporary Studies and Health Studies for her undergraduate degree at Wilfrid Laurier University, graduating with a Gold Medal. Being at the top of the class in Health studies, she could not leave her passion for physiotherapy, and so, she went to McMaster University to obtain her Master of Science in Physiotherapy. At McMaster University, which is the origin of evidence based medicine, she learnt new and innovative techniques in physiotherapy.
