Toolia Ulvik Péladeau, BSc (Kinesiology), MSc(A)PT

Physiotherapist

Toolia is a bilingual physiotherapist and member of the Ordre Professionnel des Physiothérapeutes du Québec.

In 2018, she graduated from Université du Québec à Montréal with a Bsc. in Kinesiology, followed by a certificate in level 1 perineal reeducation in 2019. In 2020, she added to her training a Master’s degree from McGill University in Physiotherapy.

Throughout her training, she has developed a strong interest in the management of concussions. She worked at the Institut national du sport du Québec with olympic athletes who suffered a concussion, helping them get back to their game safely. She also has a growing interest for vestibular and TMJ disorders, as well as musculoskeletal injuries. 

Her therapeutic approach combines manual therapy and functional exercises, aiming for long term results. Her approach to pain management values education and collaboration with the patient in order to meet their specific needs.

As a former high level athlete passionate about physical activity, especially running, she has a special interest for a sport oriented clientele of all ages and levels.

Combining her experience as a kinesiologist and her training as a physiotherapist, Toolia adapts her practice to a varied clientele. Because she deeply cares about the overall well-being of her patients, she integrates healthy lifestyle principles as well as the prevention of future injuries into her treatments.

Curious by nature, she will pursue continuing education in concussion management and post-concussion syndrome, manual therapy, vestibular and TMJ disorders, as well as running analysis. Her active listening, empathy and positive attitude make her a passionate professional, always ready for a challenge!
