Eddy Phachanhla
Physiotherapist, BSc(Kin), MScPT
Growing up in a single-parent household, I was inspired by my mother’s work ethic and determination, despite experiencing a debilitating work injury. Seeing her go through physical therapy, I was first introduced to this practice and how it truly has the capacity to change a client’s daily life. What drew me to rehab was not only what a significant role it played in my mom’s recovery, but how it aligned with my personal values of using exercise to promote better health and wellbeing. As such, I was motivated to pursue this profession and commit myself to compassionately empowering clients, while providing the highest level of care. I pursued my undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph and went on to complete my Masters of Physical Therapy program at the University of Limerick (Ireland) in 2021. I serve clients with any musculoskeletal injuries and have advanced training in both concussion rehab and vestibular rehab, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to any individual I work with. I am a SHIFT Concussion Management provider and qualified in acupuncture, dry needling, electro-acupuncture, and spinal manipulations, as well as in the treatment of TMJ disorders. I returned to my home city of Guelph in 2021 and in addition to work, I spend my free time playing golf and pool, trying new restaurants, and taking my Toy Poodle, Chase, on new adventures.
