Svetlana Marianer, MSc. PT
Registered Physiotherapist
My name is Svetlana Marianer. I graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor’s in Rehabilitation Science and a Master’s in Physiotherapy in 2012. Since completing my degree, I have taken various continuing education courses such as Manual Therapy, Prevention of Running Injuries, numerous courses from the Advanced Physical Therapy Education Institute, and many more.
As a former dancer and competitive weightlifter, I am particularly interested in orthopedic care, the prevention and treatment of sport injuries, and the biomechanics of movement. I have a strong foundation in managing acute and chronic low back and neck pain, various repetitive strain injuries, and a variety of musculoskeletal impairments resulting from both every day and recreational activities.
​
​​My recent passion has been in women's health which prompted me to train in pelvic floor therapy. My focus is to create a comfortable environment where issues related to the bowel, bladder and sexual health are openly discussed and treated. My skills allow me to treat clientele of all ages.
​
​I am fluent in four languages: English, French, Hebrew, and Russian.
"I had chronic knee discomfort in my knee that no one could diagnose. Svetlana suggested to be seen by a surgeon after completing her assessment. It turned out that I had a torn meniscus, which got fixed. After completing physiotherapy with Svetlana, I had zero knee pain and full use. I can now run with my kids again."
