Nellie graduated with a Bachelor of Science in physical therapy from the University of Montreal in 1990. She is a member in good standing with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and the Acupuncture foundation of Canada. She has completed additional training in acupuncture and is a Certified Acupuncture Practitioner by the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute. Nellie has also completed training in pelvic physiotherapy and has been treating vestibular patients for over 10 years.

Nellie is a strong believer in home exercise programs, which can empower her patients to become independent so they can actively control their pain and become stronger for successful rehabilitation. Her motto is to always actively listen to her patients' problems so each of their specific needs are met at the end of each treatment. Her physiotherapy practice utilizes manual therapy, acupuncture, modalities, mobilizations and active exercise to resolve muscle imbalances, improve posture and to prevent any future musculoskeletal injury.

Nellia fluently speaks and writes in four languages ... French, Spanish, English and Persian.
