A brighter approach to lasting recovery
A holistic approach to physiotherapy
At Shine Physiotherapy, we unravel the most challenging musculoskeletal puzzles. If you have struggled to find relief from conventional treatments, you have come to the right place! Discover a new path to healing with personalized care that’s as intricate as your needs.
Unique Treatment Methods
ConnectTherapy™
Everything is connected. But how? We explore the complex relationships within your body to understand how one area influences another. By focusing on these connections, we create a road map that allows us to solve your unique human-sized puzzle.
Thoracic Ring Approach™
The rib cage is an often overlooked but critical player in how our bodies move and compensate. If your ribs are not moving optimally, it can create a domino effect, leading to issues like persistent headaches or knee pain. The thorax can affect joints from head to toe.
Dry Needling / IMS
To needle or not to needle? The choice is yours. If you choose to include needling as part of your treatment, we’ll determine which needling technique best aligns with your needs, and strategically identify whether specific muscles should be released or not.
What Makes Us Different?
Longer sessions
Our sessions last a minimum of 45 minutes and can extend up to 90 minutes or longer if necessary. We believe that your injury and symptom history hold valuable insights into your current condition, and therefore take the time to understand your body’s full story. Our longer appointments allow us to continually re-assess you, ensuring we don’t fall into the trap of repeating the same treatment and expecting different results.
We ask “why”?
It’s not just about identifying which structure is causing your symptoms – it’s about understanding why that structure is problematic in the first place. By uncovering the underlying reasons for your discomfort, we give ourselves the best chance to break the cycle and prevent your history from repeating itself.

Celine is an incredible physio. I worked with two previous physios for post-injury back pain, but Celine has been the only one to actually make it better. After only a few sessions I’m able to move without pain and get back into activities I used to enjoy. Celine is highly professional, intuitive and caring person that I would recommend to anyone who feels that something is a bit “off” with their body, and wants to get it resolved.

Celine is an amazing physiotherapist and I can’t say enough great things about her! I’ve been dealing with a shoulder injury for about three years and before seeing her, I would have shoulder pain all the time. It was severe enough that I had to stop many of activities I loved including swimming, running, and even doing some day to day activities.
From my first session with Celine, I knew her approach was different. Unlike any other physiotherapist I’ve seen, she didn’t just focus on symptom management—she took a whole-body approach, treating not only the painful area but also uncovering and addressing the root cause of my pain.
Celine has an incredible ability to pinpoint what’s really going on. While working on my shoulder, she also addressed other areas of the body that were actually contributing to my shoulder pain. During our sessions, she troubleshooted WHY my shoulder was painful, identified poor movement patterns that were causing the issue, released tight muscles (through dry needling & manual release) and used specific exercises & education to help me strengthen a new movement pattern to create lasting results.
From working with Celine, I’ve gone from having pain at rest to no pain at all and the ability to get back to the gym. Through her whole body approach, not only has my shoulder improved, but my back, neck, and even my ability to run have all felt better too!
Not only is Celine an effective and highly skilled physiotherapist, she is also a welcoming, kind, and genuine person who truly cares about the well-being of her clients. She’s been encouraging throughout my rehab journey and I always look forwards to our sessions together and feel so much better each time.
I’m now working with her to continue building strength and resilience, and I feel more confident in my body than I have had in years. I’m so grateful to have been able to work with Celine. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to truly understand and treat your body as a whole, I highly recommend Celine!

I am fully convinced that Celine is some kind of GOD. I’ve had difficulty breathing for a long time that created lots of problems for me in my daily life. With her treatment I was able to take my first deep breath in 6 YEARS. I didn’t even realize how bad it was until she helped me. I’ve been going to physio for years but she was the first person who I felt like has actually helped me. She has so much knowledge about what’s going on with my body and has such a genuine curiosity on how she can help me be healthier. I could not recommend her more!!

I met Celine when I was 9 months pregnant and in a lot of discomfort. She helped me so much with my pain during that time. I continued to see her after my pregnancy and she continued to help with all of my injuries. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She noticed things countless physios had missed. Besides being so skilled at what she does, she’s a wonderful person and a joy to talk to during our sessions.

I can’t recommend Celine enough—she’s hands down the best physiotherapist I’ve seen. Every session left me feeling better, and her approach is both effective and manageable. Unlike other therapists who give you endless exercises, Celine focuses on what’s necessary without overwhelming you. She treats your body as a whole, addressing all aspects of your issues. I always left feeling confident in my treatment plan and noticed real improvement. If you’re looking for personalized care, she’s the one to see!

Celine is the best! She is thorough, knowledgeable, effective and kind – I was so lucky to work with her through my pregnancy and postpartum, and as regular maintenance. The connect therapy method truly works – it’s not just a quick fix, but it gets to the root of the problem.

Celine is incredibly skilled at assessing, targeting and treating complex issues with successful outcomes. I have never been to physio where the outcomes are immediate and lasting. All of this with kindness and warmth.

Celine has an amazing diverse skillset, and a great way of interacting with patients. I have seen many different physios, and it wasn’t until I had treatment from Celine I felt listened to, and also had improvement in my problems! I highly recommend booking an appointment!

Celine was my physiotherapist for almost 3 years and made such a difference in my life! Not only is she just a lovely person, she’s extremely professional & knowledgable. I always appreciated her working hard to fit me in when my body needed a little extra TLC.

Celine is the rare combination of expertise and compassion. She has wide range of knowledge from how muscles and tissues connect with each other from ribcage to pelvic floor to feet. She specializes in finding the root cause (the driving cause) and in depth analysis of what’s going on before diving into treatment, making sure clients walk out with the knowledge of their body as well as feeling good in their own body. I feel lucky that I have found her, after several Physios and chiro, I learned through her that I am hypermobile (the end of the normal muscle spectrums) and Celine has treated me systematically and always made sure to take care of the driving cause. I found her sessions incredibly helpful and informative. She also helped me to build up knowledge of my own body and how to take care of it between sessions which put me in a better position to optimal recovery. I am a dancer and Celine has been incredible in supporting me to move better in a healthier way! Furthermore, she is incredibly personable and has the genuine warmth and care that are rare to find these days. I would recommend her to anyone!

Celine was my physiotherapist for over 3 years and by far one of the best I’ve had. She’s extremely knowledgeable and very supportive and caring. She was very good at listening to my issues and concerns and addressing them with a whole body approach. Celine is excellent at her job and very personable. I would highly recommend Celine to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist.
