Each month we catch up to one of our Winterberry team members to ask a few questions that will help our patients and community get to know them better. This month we headed to our new Winterberry Physiotherapy clinic to meet Tani. Read along with our Q+A to find out more about Tani and all of the great work she is doing!

How long have you been with the clinic?

7 years. I started in Fall 201. I cannot believe it has been this long.

Tell us about your work at the clinic. What’s your role?

I’m a physiotherapist, assessing, treating injuries of musculoskeletal conditions. My treatment plan is tailored to each individual, with the goals of alleviating pain, regaining mobility, strength, and returning to functional activities. I love to hear when my clients say their pain is gone, and they can walk or return to activities they love again.

What is your educational or work background?

I graduated with a Bachelor’s program of Physiotherapy with 2nd Honours from Srinakharinwirot University (SWU), a well-known public University in Bangkok, Thailand. After graduation, I worked at Bangkok Hospital for a year and then moved to Canada. In 2017, I attended Bridging Program at University of Toronto, where I did my clinical placements at St. Catharines hospital and a private clinic in Toronto. I had also volunteered at SunnyBrook St. John’s Rehab, involved in labs and clinical exams at U of T. I had helped with Co-op students and volunteers at the clinic. In March 2025, I spoke at Niagara College to share my clinical experience to students. I have both experience in private clinics and hospital settings, mainly focusing on orthopedics and geriatric clients.

What made you want to work in this field?

Orthopedic rehabilitation is very fascinating to me. Everyday is different. I love helping all my clients. It’s rewarding to me when I hear they feel better.

What is your favourite part of your job?

I love seeing all my clients improve, meeting everyone is an everyday gift for me. I always say, “Thank you for choosing us and always coming back, I do my best!”

When you’re not at Winterberry, what will we find you doing?

I love walking, going to parks with my 2 little dogs, a yorkie and toy poodle. I love cooking and enjoy simple things in life. And of course travelling is fulfilling my soul.
