 Jordan Burgess, Owner & Physiotherapist
Jordan’s work experience spans over a decade in a variety of practice settings. These have included private community-based clinics throughout Ontario, two of which were high-profile sports injury clinics with elite level clientele, a clinic within a manufacturing plant, and an outpatient clinic in a major provincial trauma centre.
Jordan holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education with a focus in exercise physiology and athletic therapy from The University of Western Ontario (UWO), Faculty of Kinesiology.
While at UWO, he qualified to participate in the fourth year athletic trainer’s program where he was responsible for varsity sport event coverage and was a full-time trainer for the men’s rugby team.
Jordan graduated from UWO in 1995 with distinction. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from The University of Toronto in 1998, where he won awards for academic excellence and professional collaborative skills.
He is a member in good standing of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and is a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Ontario Kinesiology Association.
Jordan’s post-graduate studies have included courses in many areas, including golf injuries and rehabilitation (FITforeGOLF program), advanced differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal pain, manual therapy and intramuscular stimulation (IMS).
In 2004, Jordan passed the Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy exam, becoming a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapists (FCAMT).
He also successfully passed parts 1 and 2 of the GunnIMS qualification in 2007, becoming a fully licensed practitioner of this technique. Jordan has been an instructor in the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s Orthopaedic Division curriculum since 2004, and teaches many of the local physiotherapists intermediate levels of manual therapy theory and techniques within that framework.
He has strived to continue to expand his repertoire of treatment techniques in order to offer the most comprehensive treatment experience possible for his clients. He has integrated all of these areas of expertise with his particular interest in the science of neurodynamics and fascial mobilization as the evidence and theories behind each of those areas expands and becomes more robust.

Angelo Karalekas, Physiotherapist
Angelo graduated with a Physiotherapy degree from the University of Alberta in 1997. He also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Ottawa. His interest in orthopedics and sports medicine stem from his extensive personal involvement in sports such as basketball, cycling and soccer, the latter of which he played for four years while living in Europe.
Angelo has been involved with many sporting events and teams in different capacities over the years. He acted as coach/trainer for the Edmonton Northwest women’s soccer team and served as the trainer for the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) men’s basketball team. He has also provided on-field care at provincial tournaments throughout Ontario for volleyball, figure skating and ringette, and was fortunate enough to work in a physiotherapy capacity at the 2001 World Track and Field Championships in Edmonton, Alberta.
Angelo’s keen thirst for knowledge is demonstrated by his post-graduate education. He is always looking to expand his knowledge base and clinical skills to better serve his clients. His varied interests have led him to train in classical acupuncture through AFCI (Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute) as well as to become proficient at Trigger Point Dry Needling which he finds to be a very valuable tool, especially for pathologies that might be resistant to more traditional treatments. His areas of interest include the understanding of spinal mechanics and its underlying pain mechanisms as well as functional rehabilitation of the shoulder complex.
In addition to his clinical practice, Angelo serves as an assessor in the Quality Management Program for the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, where he is also a member in good standing. The program’s goal is to establish and maintain standards of practice and promote competence and professionalism among physiotherapists. In his spare time, he enjoys doing home renovations, cycling and spending time with his wife and daughter. |

Leanne Damas, Yoga Instructor & Thai Massage Practitioner
Leanne has been teaching yoga classes to adults and children in Manotick, Greely, Riverside South and Kars since 2001. Her certifications include Yanumoja yoga, Radiant Child children’s yoga, and prenatal yoga. Leanne’s yoga classes are an eclectic mix of stimulating, regenerative yoga for body and soul. Each class incorporates a central theme based in yoga philosophy, and uses posture, breath, relaxation and meditation to create space for reflection and rejuvenation.
In 2007, Leanne trained in Thai yoga massage, a one-on-one form of therapy that derives from Thailand , with influences from Indian Ayurveda, yoga practices, and Chinese healing arts. Sometimes described as having yoga “done to you”, this gentle, flowing bodywork uses passive yoga postures and acupressure to promote flexibility, relaxation and healing.
Leanne continues to deepen in both of these areas of study, as they support her journey, and enable her to offer healing and wellness to others.
