Leanna Taggio, PT
Physiotherapist
I have a lifelong love of movement. Growing up, I was always involved in sports, competing internationally in track and field, provincially in gymnastics, and earning my Black Belt in Taekwondo. These experiences taught me firsthand how important it is to move well, recover properly, and care for your body—not just when you're injured, but throughout every stage of life.
That passion led me to complete my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at York University before earning my Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto in 2016. Since then, I've continued to expand my skills through ongoing education, including my Level 1 Manual Therapy Certification, while remaining an active member of both the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Ontario Physiotherapy Association.
I've always been fascinated by how the body heals and adapts. Early in my career, I contributed to research on accelerating muscle recovery, which was published in Serious Strength Training, 3rd Edition. Today, I combine that evidence-based approach with hands-on treatment and personalized exercise programs to help patients recover, move better, and return to the activities they enjoy.
As my career evolved, I discovered a special interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy. I quickly realized how many people silently struggle with symptoms that are often dismissed as "normal" or simply accepted as part of aging, pregnancy, or childbirth. Pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, low back or hip pain, constipation, endometriosis, painful menstruation, and many other conditions that can significantly affect quality of life.
My appreciation for pelvic health became even more personal during my own pregnancy, when pelvic floor physiotherapy became an essential part of my prenatal care. Experiencing its benefits firsthand reinforced my belief that this area of physiotherapy deserves far more awareness and should be an important part of women's healthcare throughout every stage of life.
My philosophy is simple: physiotherapy isn't just about recovering from an injury or surgery—it's about helping you stay healthy, active, and doing the things you love for years to come. Just as we regularly maintain our vehicles to keep them running at their best, our bodies also benefit from proactive care. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing ongoing pain, preparing for pregnancy, returning to sport, or simply looking to move with greater confidence, my goal is to help you build strength, improve mobility, and support your long-term health.
I believe investing in your health today is one of the greatest gifts you can give your future self, and I'm here to help you every step of the way.
