Mariana Paz, PT

Physiotherapist

Mariana received her Honours B.A. at the University of Toronto and her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Queens University. Since graduating from Queens in 2011, Mariana's post graduate studies include: The McKenzie Method - Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, Post-Concussion management, Acupuncture, Kinesio-taping and chronic pain management.

Mariana has a very confident, one on one, hands-on approach to physiotherapy treatment. "Hands that feel are the hands that heal; its less about the gadgets and more about the work". Mariana's clinical experience ranges from private clinics to hospital home care to athletic rehabilitation. She has valuable experience in treating simple and chronic injuries and conditions. In the private setting, Mariana's main focus is active rehabilitation and developing a goal orientated treatment plan for her patients, which gives them the tools to get better and stay better, resulting in a timely discharge.

In practice, Mariana works with the clients at Phases Executive Fitness Studio with an integrated "all boots on deck" approach, teaming up with the practitioners within our multi-disciplinary environment. She strives to educate people of their injuries and to provide long term solutions for joint and muscle pain management. Empowering her patients to successfully manage their condition and maintain an active lifestyle is the ultimate goal.
