Olivia Cheng
MScPT
PHYSIOTHERAPIST
I have always been very active in sports and recreation since I was a child, and that came with my fair share of injuries over the years! Physiotherapy has always helped to keep me participating in rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, and yoga – activities that I love! This inspired me to become a physiotherapist and learn how to rehab myself and pass on my knowledge and experience to help others too!
I completed my undergraduate and research graduate degrees at the University of Toronto, and later my physiotherapy graduate degree at Dalhousie University. I’m dedicated to lifelong learning and stay up to date with the most recent research and rehabilitation guidelines. I enjoy using a combination of manual therapy, needling, cupping and exercise as part of my physiotherapy care.
For those requiring a Chinese-speaking physiotherapist, I am fluent in both English and Cantonese, and conversational in Mandarin.
OLIVIA’S PHILOSOPHY
I believe treatment programs must be designed for the individual. I utilize a holistic focus in treating each and every patient as a whole. What works for one person may or may not work for another, and it’s important to tailor our approach to each individual to reach best possible results and goals.

I enjoy watching different kinds of movies depending on my mood, but never horror! I am always up for a good Pixar movie like Inside Out or Finding Nemo.
What’s your favourite band/music?
I think I’m still figuring this one out. I’m someone that listens to a bunch of different playlists depending on my mood or event!
What’s your favourite activity?
I love rock climbing! It incorporates your core, upper and lower body strength, and flexibility all while tickling your brain as you problem solve your way up a wall.
What’s Your Favourite Book?
I’ve recently been reading a lot more non-fiction books about finances and biographies. Some fictions that remain very memorable to me include Life of Pi, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and Jane Eyre.
