My Journey to Physical Therapy

I graduated from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Therapy. After my graduation, I completed a Master’s Degree in Human Kinetics and Exercise Education in the year 2000.

I moved to the UK in 2000 with my family, where I continued my career as a physiotherapist. I completed my second Master’s degree in Public Health, focusing on preventative public health programs for seniors within the community.

Specialization in Stroke Rehab & Senior Care

Although I worked in the orthopedic, respiratory, neurology, and medical wards of Ashton, Wigan, and Leigh NHS Trust, as well as other hospitals in the North West of England, my focus of practice was in neurology—especially stroke rehabilitation. I gained valuable experience working with stroke patients in acute, inpatient, and community settings. While working in these hospitals, I developed a strong interest in treating seniors who face complex orthopedic and neurological conditions. This led me to take a physiotherapy position in the community, treating elderly people directly in their homes, residential care, and nursing facilities.

I later moved to Canada with my family and continued my practice working with older adults. Having always enjoyed the quality, one-on-one care provided to this clientele, I continued working in private home health, residential care, and nursing facilities.

Certifications & Personal Philosophy

Today, I hold certifications in acupuncture, pelvic health, and vestibular therapy, backed by years of specialized experience in stroke rehabilitation. Providing quality, therapeutic treatment tailored to each client’s unique needs—with the main objective of improving their overall quality of life—is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

Outside of work, I am heavily involved in charity work, volunteering my time to support the homeless population through my local church. I also love to read and spend quality time with my family.
