Staff Spotlight Registered Physiotherapist
Jacquelin Rotella is the physiotherapist in our Richmond Hill location and had been with us since the Richmond Hill clinic opened in 2010. She is very passionate about her work and enjoys the challenge of knowing what causes your pain and how she can make you better. She believes in educating the patient andmaking thempart and center of their rehabilitation process. Sheplans eachpatient’s treatment protocolwitha combination of manual therapy techniques, customized exercise program and modalities. She is trained in the Mackenzie/MDT and Mulligan techniques and these had been her go-to tools in assessing and treating patients. She also utilizes acupuncture and taping in her treatment regimen. Jacquelin’s passion also includes redefining disability as the Co-chair of the International Centre for Disability and Rehabilitation-Philippine Working Group, a volunteer organization under U of T. When she is not busy making patients better or leading a volunteer organization, she dabbles in baking goes on road trips and searches for scenic trails to hike with her family.
In many cases, physiotherapy can help patients increase leg mobility. In doing so, they can stretch, flex, and strengthen the muscles responsible for support. If a joint appears deformed, or if sudden swelling occurs, contact a physician immediately. A good physiotherapy program can assist with post-operation treatment, too. If you’veundergone treatment for osteoporosis, dislocation, or a fracture, your therapist can help you reclaim full mobility—and a healthy lifestyle. From start to finish, we’re dedicated to your ongoing wellness. On every level, physiotherapy serves to enhance the patient’s quality of life. We’re here to help, and we have years of experience backing every therapy option. Contact one of our providers today, and tell us about your symptoms.

“I just wanted to say that after 3 months of treatment I feel much better. I can now function almost like a normal person again compared to when I started. They did not let me off the hook. They gave me a program and made sure I followed it, which allowed me to return to work. This is exactly what I needed…tough love. Thanks MedRehab.” - Allen M. Success Spotlight
