Ann Pulprakkuzhiyil
Registered Physiotherapist

Ann is our registered physiotherapist working with us for the last 12 years. She graduated from India and started working in Canada in 2007. She strongly believes that patient therapist communication is the strongest key for a successful recovery. In her opinion a good rehabilitation is a team work between the patient and the physiotherapist, where both have to be faithful towards the task assigned.

Ann loves working with all kinds of orthopedic conditions like neck pain, lower back pain , TMJ problems, shoulder pain, knee pain etc. as a result of injury, over use or degenerative changes. She has done a series of continuing education courses on manual therapy, Shockwave, MDT (McKenzie principle) and Mulligan techniques to enhance her knowledge and skills to treat different areas of the body. Along with treating the current injury, Ann also focuses on providing education, tips and exercises to prevent recurrence.

Recently she has found her passion in treating vertigo secondary to BPPV (due to semicircular canal related issues) and is been successfully treating patients with vertigo . Her goal is to continue to improve her knowledge in Vestibular Rehabilitation through advanced courses along with her passion in Orthopedic Physiotherapy.

Outside her working hours, Ann loves to spend time with her family, listening to music and doing crafts.
