Jacob Wasilewski

Jacob completed his Masters of Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland, Australia world renowned with respect to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. His practical skills component emphasized manual therapy of the vertebral and peripheral joints. He has over 10 years of experience working with others through exercise including personal training and varsity sports strength and conditioning. He even worked as a team sports medic for a variety of youth sports in Australia where he gained experience in acute assessment/management and athletic-taping techniques. Jacob has been practicing as a physiotherapist for over 5 years and combines his manual therapy, exercise therapy, clinical reasoning and interpersonal skills with a patient centered approach to improve immediate outcomes while working towards long-term solutions. His understanding of movement and ability to communicate with patients in a manner which accelerates learning creates improved movement efficiency, awareness and therefore control over tendencies which may lead to strain/pain. Jacob uses gentle manual therapy techniques which help patients with both acute and chronic spinal pain including nerve related pain. He also has helped many patients with acute/chronic peripheral joint issues with manual therapy techniques for areas including the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and even the temporo-mandibular joint. Jacob enjoys his practice, the challenge of problem solving and the satisfaction of helping others achieve their health-related goals, which pain and movement dysfunction can often de-rail. He aims to empower his patients to have more control over their health, lives and happiness. Education is an integral part of his practice and Jacob strives to get to the root of an issue, which results in many of his patients experiencing long term improvements and self-management of their health-related challenges.
