  Alexandra (Andra) is a dedicated and experienced physiotherapist specializing in musculoskeletal (MSK) and women’s pelvic floor rehabilitation. With a passion for helping individuals regain movement, strength, and confidence, Andra combines evidence-based techniques with a patient-centered approach to deliver high-quality care.

  After earning her Bachelor and Master degrees in Medical Science and Physiotherapy from Western University, Andra pursued further training in women's pelvic health and acupuncture.

  In addition to treating common MSK conditions such as neck and back pain, joint sprains and pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, Andra has a special interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy. Andra helps individuals dealing with conditions like pelvic pain, incontinence, postnatal recovery, and prolapse. Understanding the sensitive nature of pelvic health, Andra creates a comfortable and supportive environment where patients feel empowered to take control of their recovery.

  Outside the clinic, Andra enjoys spending time outside with her husband and two young girls, traveling, sewing, which contribute to a balanced and active lifestyle.
