Joshua Grawbarger, MScPT, BScKin
Physiotherapist
Joshua completed his Master’s of Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo.
During his time at the University of Waterloo, Joshua discovered his passion for working with athletes and for rehabilitation. He was a strength and conditioning coach for the varsity sports teams and volunteered in a low back research lab. And he worked in a Sport Physiotherapy Fellowship at the University of Guelph upon completing physiotherapy school.
Joshua is passionate about working with his patients in a collaborative fashion to help them achieve their goals, and get back to living a healthy, active lifestyle. He does this by providing a blend of manual therapy and exercise, with an emphasis on education to provide patients with an understanding of their injury and the tools to be active participant in their recovery.
Growing up as a multisport athlete, Joshua had his fair share of injuries and often found himself in the clinic of his physiotherapist, who always helped him in managing his injuries allowing him to compete at his best. He is originally from Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.
When not in the clinic, Joshua enjoys hiking, running, cycling, and is currently getting into swimming! He will be competing in his first triathlon at 70.3 Ironman Victoria in May 2024.
I look forward to my appointments
“Lena is the best! I had a difficult time finding a physiotherapist I could click with and would listen to my concerns. Now I look forward to my appointments and the positive environment the entire clinic brings. She is extremely talented in what she does, and I can’t recommend her enough. The outcome, and care provided is beyond exceptional. The receptionist team is always there to help and bring a positive attitude and very understanding to my needs and schedule. Thank you Lena, and the entire Arbutus Health Centre team!”

Friendly, kind, helpful, and efficient
“Joshua at the Colwood location is very good at listening and diagnosing injuries. He demonstrates a high level of skill, knowledge and understanding of how to approach the injury with a layered response. He is personable, compassionate and provides excellent care. I would highly recommend him for children who are athletes and for injuries impacting day to day movement for adults. He has treated my 12 year-old child and myself. The staff at reception are also lovely. They are friendly, kind, helpful and efficient.”
