Andrea Stephen – Registered Physiotherapist

Andrea holds a B.Sc. in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto and has well over a decade of experience in both private practice and in the field of high-performance sport. 

From 2017 until last year Andrea was highly involved with the Canadian National Track and field team and held the position of Lead therapist for Athletics Canada’s East Hub.  In addition to her role in the daily training environment she was a member of the Integrated Support Team (IST) for several high-profile sporting events and continues to be the personal therapist for 2023 World Champion decathlete Pierce Lepage.

She started her career in Para-Athletics (track and field) which resulted in her being the first Lead Para therapist for Athletics Canada.  During that time Andrea obtained her international classification certification for intellectual impairment and national classification certification for physical impairment. 

In private practice Andrea uses a variety of manual therapy, modalities and exercise progressions to help her clients get back to optimal health and performance.  She has a special interest in lower body injuries (hip, knee, and ankle/foot). 

Her passion for physio and patient recovery success is apparent.  She is also certified in Acupuncture and Blood Flow Restriction Therapy.
