Haneen was first exposed to the profession of Physiotherapy in the 12th grade when her mother was struck by a car as a pedestrian. She witnessed the compassion and healing power of physiotherapy and became inspired by the impact that a patient centred approach to rehabilitation can have. She strives to provide that same support to each of her patients to maximize the positive impact she has on their lives. Haneen is a life-long learner. She has conducted important research during her time in the biochem lab at Sickkids Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning as well as her journey through Physiotherapy education. She was the principal investigator on an important paper entitled Exploring the Use of Diagnostic Point-of-Care Lung and Thoracic Ultrasound by Physiotherapists: A Scoping Review.
Growing up in Scarborough Haneen enjoyed Boxing, strength training and hiking. She is an avid reader and once read 21 books in 2 months! Haneen’s patients benefit from her warm personality and genuine desire to help. Be warned….she is a talker. Her roommates in University used to call her “sound machine”!

What Haneen's patients say...
I came in for persistent shoulder knots and was fortunate to work with Haneen. She was absolutely amazing. Haneen’s approach was exceptionally professional and thoroughly explained my condition. The customized exercises were highly effective and significantly reduced my pain within a short time. I appreciated the manual therapy and hands-on rehab; it provided immediate relief after every session, making the recovery process much more bearable. Highly recommend!
What Haneen's patients say...
I worked with Haneen and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the very first session, Haneen was attentive, thorough, and genuinely invested in understanding the root of my knee issues. She took the time to explain each step of the plan, why certain exercises were important, and how they would help me regain strength and mobility. Thanks to her, my knee pain has significantly improved. I highly recommend Haneen to anyone looking for a physiotherapist
What Haneen's patients say...
Haneen Ali was such a lovely physio to work with! So warm and friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and – most importantly – my tendinopathy improved after a handful of sessions with her. Very happy to be walking pain-free again. Thank you, Haneen! The front desk staff are also really great! Would definitely recommend coming to Cornerstone & Haneen for your physio needs.
What Haneen's patients say...
I visited the clinic to get treated for back pain and couldn’t be happier! Haneen was very friendly and professional, and made me feel comfortable right away. She’s evidently very knowledgeable, and it showed not only in how she assessed my condition, but also in how thoroughly she explained my diagnosis to me. The treatment was very effective and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and genuinely caring physiotherapist.
What Haneen's patients say...
It can be difficult finding the right physiotherapy clinic. Cornerstone physiotherapy is by far the best that I have been to. The front desk staff are so nice and patient. You are always greeted with a smile. I have been seeing Haneen and she is helping me with my knee issue. She is great at listening and pushing me to strengthen my legs to get me back to normal. This clinic really cares. Try them out you will not be disappointed.
