Carlo is a caring and passionate physiotherapist who has over 20 years of experience treating all types of orthopaedic and musculo-skeletal injuries, and has found great success in always putting his patient’s goals first. He has taken many different post-graduate courses in orthopaedic physiotherapy and manual therapy, and is credentialed with the MacKenzie Institute of Canada for treatment of neck and back pain. He is certified in Acupuncture through McMaster University’s Medical Acupuncture program. Carlo has a keen interest in sport and exercise related injuries with experience treating individuals just starting out on their active lifestyle goals, to Olympic and professional athletes. From the youngest of athletes to seniors, Carlo has extensive experience working with individuals at all ages and is a firm believer that maintaining an active lifestyle is key to avoiding disability and maintaining health throughout life.

Having mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students over the course of his career, from undergraduate Kinesiology students and Athletic Therapy students, to graduate students pursuing their Masters of Physiotherapy degree or their Masters of Kinesiology degree, Carlo is passionate about educating young clinicians as they begin their careers in rehabilitation medicine.

Carlo believes that the key to successful recovery, be it from an acute injury or chronic condition, starts with empowering his patients by educating them as to the contributing factors to their issue and the best management strategies to take to prevent a recurrence.  He uses a variety of manual therapy techniques to increase mobility and decrease pain, and ensures his patients are doing their rehabilitation exercises correctly so that they see results the fastest.  The better his patients understand their injury and path to recovery, the better and quicker they recover.   At Toronto Physiotherapy, the clinic’s patient-first philosophy aligns well with Carlo’s vision of what best-practice physiotherapy is, and how important individualized care is.

Outside of work Carlo enjoys time with his family camping, hiking, biking, canoeing and relaxing.  When not spending time in nature Carlo spends time shuttling his two boys around to various hockey rinks for practices and games.
