Yuki considers it her mission to empower people to take control of their lives and overcome any barriers holding them back. She combines clinical skill and experience with compassion, education and motivation to help people chart a path toward reaching their therapeutic goals. When you meet Yuki you will understand why her patients love their sessions with her. Her genuine concern and positive attitude help her connect with everyone who works with her.

Growing up in Ajax Ontario, athletics played an important part in Yuki’s life. Don’t let her small stature fool you, she is a fierce rugby player and outdoors person. Her love of Rugby introduced her to physio following a string of injuries while battling for varsity championships. After successfully returning from ankle, knee, back and shoulder injuries, Yuki has plenty of first hand experience in what it takes to successfully recover. She is the third of four kids and the first member of her family born in Canada after her parents immigrated from Japan. Her love of cooking, baking and food is complemented with a surprising knowledge of beer (she once worked at a brewery). Interestingly she also loves to travel despite having absolutely no sense of direction – this combination has led her on many adventures.

Yuki is a stellar physiotherapist. She is the best I have found in ten years. You simply must go see her for any orthopaedic or pelvic floor dysfunction. She will change your life.

What Yuki's patients say...

Cornerstone is amazing. It starts with the most friendly, kind administrative staff who are such a pleasure to talk to. It is so great to be greeted with such kindness when you don’t feel your best. My physiotherapist is so knowledgeable and patient. I worked with Yuki for a shoulder injury and a back injury. Yuki is down to earth, kind and open to discussing options for treatment. If you need a physiotherapist, Yuki is the one!

What Yuki's patients say...

Yuki (Yukino) is a highly educated and experienced physiotherapist. Also prompt and personable. For me she focused on a progression of exercises, along with hands-on therapy. She explained the exercises clearly, coached me, and corrected my technique. Cornerstone Physio is very clean, modern, well-run, and has private treatment rooms.
