We Care About Our Clients

Pure Physiotherapy was founded in 2013 by Joanna Nelken who aimed to create a superior clinic experience for her clients built on her passion for helping others and coupled with her advanced physiotherapy training. She is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT), which is an internationally- recognized qualification that is the highest level of advanced training a physiotherapist can achieve in orthopaedic knowledge, manual therapy techniques and clinical reasoning. A very small percentage (<5%) of physiotherapists in Canada possess the FCAMPT credentials.

Pure Physiotherapy is dedicated to providing unparalleled client care with proven and effective physical therapy techniques. Our specialty is providing manual therapy, along with dry needling, exercise prescription, vestibular rehabilitation, and custom bracing. Thanks to years of extensive education and dedicated training, our therapists are equipped with the latest evidence-based practices to ensure you have a speedy and safe recovery. 

Our therapists work with you one-on-one, without any assistants or machines, to allow us more time to answer your questions and provide you with dedicated care during your session. We also strongly believe in continuing our education so that our therapists stay up-to-date with all the latest and greatest treatment methods. The team at Pure Physiotherapy is continuously striving to provide the best client experience we can, as safely as we can, to maximize your recovery. 

Recognized for our incredible work, Pure Physiotherapy is a recipient of the prestigious Service Excellence – Stars of Mississauga Award. Along with a growing collection of excellent testimonials, it’s truly evident that our patients see real success with our methods.

I’ve been going to Pure Physiotherapy in Mississauga (Port Credit) for several years now (for a variety of injuries - I’m quite clumsy) and Joanna is simply wonderful. Her goal is to treat your concerns thoroughly, but quickly, which allows you to heal and get back to your regular activities as fast as possible. The business has grown over the years, but has maintained the personal touch and high quality care. The clinic is clean and inviting, and the team makes me feel very comfortable. The client care coordinator, Monique, is friendly and incredibly helpful at making appointments work within my schedule. I highly recommend Joanna and Pure Physio to anyone in need of physiotherapy.
