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.
Knowledgeable and gentle
“My first physiotherapy appointment today with Hatty was great. She was very thorough, answered all my questions without me having to ask, explained my situation so I understood and came up with an exercise and lifestyle plan before I left. She is very knowledgeable, gentle and knows her stuff. She made everything effortless for me. I left feeling very positive and I’m looking forward to seeing her again in two days.”
