Jillian Adams PT, Cert. MDT

Clinical Director/Co-owner

Jillian Adams - Physiotherapist - Co Owner

Born and raised in Newfoundland, Jillian decided she wanted to become a physiotherapist after injuring her hand while playing sports.

She obtained a BSc (Honours) with a major in Behavioural Neuroscience and a minor in Chemistry from Memorial University of Newfoundland, and a MSc degree in Physiotherapy from Robert Gordon University, Scotland.

After completing her masters degree in 2013 Jillian moved to Ottawa, Ontario where she practised for 8 years, during which time she was nominated for Physiotherapist of the Year in for the Faces Magazine Yearly Ottawa Awards. Jillian returned to Newfoundland in 2021.

Jillian is always looking for the latest research-proven methods and techniques to offer the best possible care to her clients. She is passionate about the MDT (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) Method, also known as the McKenzie Method. She is the Project Manager for MICANADA Development Committee for MDT Awareness and a certified MDT clinician; one of only two in Newfoundland.

She has additional training in acupuncture, dry needling, TMJ dysfunctions, concussion, and vestibular rehabilitation including vertigo. She had an active treatment style focused on empowering clients to take control of their pain with education and individualized exercises while supplementing the exercises with manual therapy.

When Jillian isn't seeing patients she keeps active by walking her dog Cashew and exercising. Her favourite forms of exercise are strength training, yoga and kickboxing.

She believes that exercise and education are the foundations for those on their journey to recovery and a better life.
