I didn't come to this work from a textbook. I came to it through my own body. In my 20s, I was overtraining for sports while quietly drowning in stress and my body started sending very loud signals. Pain. Injury. Anxiety. I spent months waiting for specialist appointments, hoping someone would finally give me an answer. No one really did. What they gave me were vague instructions, dismissive shrugs, and a growing fear that my body had become something I couldn't trust. Then I found a trainer who changed everything. Not because she fixed me, but because she helped me understand what my body could still do. Working within my physical and mental tolerance, not against it. That shift was everything. I became a physiotherapist because I wanted to be that person for others. Someone who explains what's actually happening, who moves at your pace, and who treats the whole picture, not just the painful part. Today I run Terra 244 in Toronto, where I work with adults dealing with ongoing pain who feel frustrated, misunderstood, or just plain exhausted by the rehab merry-go-round. I've been in that chair. I know what it's like. And I'm here to help you find your way forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/a545de77-b140-4bde-8b0f-45f4801790f5/IMG_0414.jpg About Me I’m an orthopedic and neurofunctional physiotherapist & movement trainer Educational Background Master of Physical Therapy (UoFT) Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Certification (McMaster) Advanced Neurofunctional Sports Performance Practitioner (McMaster) Cranial Sacral Practitioner Visceral manipulation 1 & 2 Certified GUNN IMS Personal Trainer Certified Pilates Instructor (experience in teaching mat/reformer) Bachelor of Kinesiology (Brock) ELDOA level 3 certified Continued education in mental health and osteopath courses/mentorship https://www.melcphysio.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://www.melcphysio.com/terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2022-10-18 https://www.melcphysio.com/mental-health daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://www.melcphysio.com/movement-education daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/91236b28-9ad2-4a7e-8bfd-0558765b5c59/MelCundari-30.jpg https://www.melcphysio.com/electroacupuncture daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/3f23d2f3-fefc-4e8f-94c5-a9c0b461cc37/09+electroacu+.jpg https://www.melcphysio.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://www.melcphysio.com/retreat-interest daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://www.melcphysio.com/retreat daily 0.75 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/44cfae7d-a23c-4ab6-9e69-307bf6dd0c25/IMG_0433.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/638ffc0d-e268-466d-9954-4c49e885a178/c540ec87-e295-403c-88d3-04e1fa6d7ca6.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/5b66cd2c-79c7-4e97-80e3-822a80712621/IMG_8303.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/04ea4289-2f55-41db-aac1-fdef943752e1/IMG_8263.jpg https://www.melcphysio.com/about-me-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/f12f7a33-0cff-45e6-9a79-4a8ba4e2235a/IMG_0449.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/f85b04db-9184-47a4-ac0c-d95c15f4b079/IMG_0418.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/2f099461-b7e1-456c-8dba-e946d198be83/IMG_0427.jpeg The Space - Service Title Quick description can go here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/25b54f3b-0c81-45b0-96ed-fd4f88de7508/IMG_0454.jpeg The Space - Service Title Quick description can go here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/14bb13dd-7762-4e40-8360-c256f2395c18/IMG_0459.jpeg The Space - Service Title Quick description can go here https://www.melcphysio.com/services-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://www.melcphysio.com/resources-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/1781490554375-272NVG3B5796JZL3JMKP/unsplash-image-ciqbTWuGgBI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/e763f21b-442b-4bcd-b60e-f9452f943022/WIW.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/b760ccf0-b2cb-4845-9c0b-2f403bae3a2a/desk+exercise.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/6e23c35d-d0ed-419f-803a-c9b0d52b3b23/4D0353E8-36C2-46E3-8BD2-F6577CCC1BD9.jpeg https://www.melcphysio.com/eldoas daily 0.75 2026-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/a3263c98-a1b2-4d1e-a171-abf7bcdd697e/IMG_0427.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/634e99aeb71c0a7bfec209ab/88c55328-0f49-49a7-aa82-5fe8c1e7ead2/IMG_0415.jpg https://www.melcphysio.com/store daily 0.75 2026-06-15
