Our therapists are trained and certified by their respective governing colleges in Ontario. Hi I am Reshawn Devendra, I am the lead physiotherapist here at Willowdale Physiotherapy Clinic. I have been practising physiotherapy since 1999 in both long-term-care and in outpatient clinics.
I originally trained as a clinical Psychologist, however, during my placement I stumbled upon Physiotherapy and found the whole experience totally rewarding, so much so that I retrained as a Physiotherapist.General Physiotherapy is what I practice, but also I have a keen interest in Geriatric Physiotherapy.

Services
Willowdale Physiotherapy has been in operation since 1966, we are also Ontario's largest publicly funded physiotherapy clinic. Together with Centerpoint Medical Centre we have the full suite of Physiotherapy, Chiropractic and (RMT) Massage, as well as a family doctor (GP). Our goal is to bring our clients both medical and paramedical services under one roof - as a one stop shop.
Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport, health and fitness. If you have any medical reports or test results you could bring them in if they are relevant to your treatment.
Physical therapy is one of the major services which we offer. Our therapists works closely with patients to help them improve their movement potential and gain a healthier and more. Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort and muscle spasm.
Your personal physiotherapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation of functional limitations and areas of pain. Our team of expert physio therapists will design a treatment plan based on your work/ life related needs and goals. We take a team approach and will consult with your employer and case manager, if necessary.
Massage therapy uses a variety of techniques to manipulate your joints and soft tissue to improve your body's overall health. Massage increases the body's supply of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, which help release waste from the muscle tissue. Massage also accelerates your body's own natural ability to heal itself.

I came to the clinic after my cast was taken off from a broken right wrist.
I was in a lot of pain especially below my wrist & thumb. I could barely move my fingers or hold onto anything.
My Physio Therapist was Julius Caesar Fernando .
He was very conscientious of my problem and took very good care of me.
I would definitely give him a 5 star rating.
My hand is a lot more mobile now. I was given exercises and was encouraged to do them, which I did.
With appreciation for excellent treatment.

With some of the most caring front line health care practitioners, it’s no wonder Canada’s Health care system ranks so high in the World.
A case in point..... Physiotherapist Ms. Sabita Rokka at the Willowdale Physiotherapy clinic is a good example of our care givers who make us so aware of the privilege of receiving medical care in Canada. Professional competence, attentive to the patient requiring the treatment rather than just the technicalities of the treatment itself and, above all, a confident yet studied cheerful and positive demeanor which helps the patient to respond more effectively

My mom has shoulder issues. She has attended several sessions and has gained strength, mobility and her pain is no longer holding her hostage. Highly recommend Sabit Rokka a registered Physiotherapist. She was patient, gentle and caring with my mom. The follow up with exercises and home care by Sabita was priceless. I recommend her and this location to anyone who is trying to recuperate.
