About Alysia Shivji
​
From a young age, Alysia has been a strong advocate for health and well-being both from a physical and mental perspective. Her drive towards understanding human behaviour led to her completion of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto in 2013. As someone who has always enjoyed fitness and human biomechanics, she wanted to explore ways in which she could assist individuals in optimizing their movement patterns. As a result, she pursued her Masters in Physiotherapy from Brunel University, London UK in 2016.
Alysia spent two years in London, initially working within the National Health Service, completing rotational experience in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, prior to shifting into a private musculoskeletal setting where she also worked in Occupation Health departments. Alysia has additionally completed her Personal Training Certification with Canfit Pro in 2016 and has used this knowledge to help clients achieve their fitness training goals.
Presently Alysia works at two private rehabilitation clinics within the Greater Toronto Area, where she utilises a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription to help clients improve their movement and function. She strongly believes in the importance of healthy lifestyle modifications in order to achieve client goals, whether that may include pain management, movement restoration, postural correction and/or strength progression.
​
Alysia enjoys distance running, dancing, volunteering within the community, weight training, travelling across the world, hiking, exploring new cuisines and playing racquet sports.
