Meet Megan Wallenius — Your Stittsville Physiotherapist

BSc Kinesiology — Queen's University  |  MSc Physiotherapy — Brunel University London

Megan's path into physiotherapy started on the gym floor. After completing her BSc in Kinesiology at Queen's University, she worked as a Strength and Conditioning Coach right here at BTB — helping members build strength, mobility, and resilience through training. That hands-on coaching experience led her to pursue her Master's in Physiotherapy at Brunel University London, where she trained alongside professionals treating everyone from post-surgical patients to active seniors. Now practicing as BTB's Resident Physiotherapist, Megan combines clinical skill with a coach's eye for movement — helping you get out of pain and stay there.

Physiotherapy FAQ — Stittsville

Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical conditions — including chronic back and neck pain, arthritis, joint replacements, sprains and strains, post-op recovery, balance and fall prevention, and age-related mobility issues. Megan works with everyone from active seniors and post-surgical patients to busy professionals and weekend athletes.
Both are hands-on rehabilitation, but physiotherapy covers a broader scope — including chronic pain, post-surgical rehab, neurological conditions, and age-related concerns — while athletic therapy focuses more narrowly on musculoskeletal injuries and return-to-sport. At BTB we offer both. If you're unsure, book with either practitioner and we'll point you in the right direction. Compare both services here.
Most extended health benefit plans (through your employer or private coverage) include physiotherapy, and Megan's credentials are recognized by all major insurers in Ontario. We offer direct billing where possible so you're not paying out of pocket and waiting weeks for reimbursement. Bring your insurance card to your first appointment and we'll handle it.
No referral is needed to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. You can book directly with Megan through our online booking system. Some insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement — check your specific plan details, or call us and we'll help you figure it out.
Absolutely. Megan regularly works with adults 55+ who are returning to movement after years away — whether because of pain, surgery, or just life getting busy. Your first session is a full assessment, and every plan is built around your current level, goals, and health history. There's no "too old" and no "too out of shape" to start.
Yes — post-surgical rehab is one of the most common reasons people see a physio. Whether you've had a hip or knee replacement, rotator cuff repair, or back surgery, Megan builds structured rehab programs that work within your surgeon's protocols to safely rebuild strength and mobility.
It depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Megan will give you an honest estimate during your initial assessment. Many acute issues improve significantly within 4–6 sessions, while chronic or post-surgical cases may need longer support.
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages of having a physiotherapist inside a gym. Megan can prescribe exercises you complete on our gym floor, and when you're ready to graduate from rehab, our coaching team is right here to keep you progressing without starting over somewhere new.

Why You Would Benefit From Physiotherapy

Massage for Seniors In Stittsville

Enhancing Functionality and Independence for Retirees with Massage Therapy in Stittsville

September 01, 20232 min read

As we age, maintaining functionality and independence becomes increasingly important. For retirees in Stittsville, staying active and healthy is crucial for enjoying life to the fullest. Massage therapy can play a significant role in helping retirees achieve these goals by alleviating pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall physical function.

Common Challenges Faced by Retirees:

Many retirees experience physical challenges such as arthritis, joint pain, and decreased mobility. These issues can make everyday activities more difficult and reduce the quality of life. However, regular massage therapy can address these concerns effectively.

Aging In Stittsville

How Massage Therapy Helps:

Massage therapy offers a range of benefits that can help retirees maintain their independence:

Pain Relief: Massage therapy can alleviate chronic pain associated with conditions like arthritis and muscle stiffness. Techniques such as deep tissue massage and myofascial release are particularly effective for reducing pain and inflammation.

Improved Mobility: Regular massage sessions can enhance joint flexibility and muscle elasticity, making it easier to move around and perform daily tasks. Gentle stretching and joint mobilization techniques are especially beneficial for improving mobility.

Enhanced Circulation: Massage therapy improves blood flow, which helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs. Enhanced circulation can reduce swelling and promote faster healing of injuries.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Massage therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps reduce stress and promote relaxation. This can lead to better sleep, improved mood, and a greater sense of well-being.

Boosted Immune System: Regular massage therapy can strengthen the immune system by increasing the activity of natural killer cells, which help fight off infections and diseases.

SeniorsLongevity

Incorporating Massage Therapy into a Wellness Routine:

For retirees in Stittsville, integrating massage therapy into a regular wellness routine is a proactive approach to maintaining health and independence. Here are some tips:

Schedule Consistent Sessions: Set up regular massage appointments, whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Consistency is key to experiencing the full benefits of massage therapy.

Communicate with Your RMT: Let your Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) know about any specific issues or concerns. They can tailor the massage to address your unique needs and ensure optimal results.

Combine with Other Activities: Pair massage therapy with other wellness activities such as light exercise, yoga, or water aerobics to enhance overall health and mobility. Infact, exercise can be one of the most powerful anti-aging tools that we have. Reach out to the team at BTB to see how we can help!

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water before and after a massage session can help flush out toxins and keep your muscles hydrated and healthy.
