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.

Postpartum Fitness: Forget “Bouncing Back” — Move Forward, Safely

Postpartum Fitness: Forget “Bouncing Back” — Move Forward, Safely

When it comes to life after pregnancy, the conversation around fitness is often framed as “getting your body back.” But here’s the truth: postpartum fitness isn’t about bouncing back — it’s about moving forward.

Your body has gone through an incredible transformation. Muscles, ligaments, posture, hormones — everything has shifted. The right postpartum fitness program isn’t about rushing into intense workouts. It’s about rebuilding from the inside out, regaining confidence in movement, and restoring strength that supports your daily life.


The Benefits of Postpartum Fitness Programs

Pelvic Floor & Core Healing
Pregnancy and childbirth place enormous stress on your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. Specialized postpartum programs focus on reactivating and strengthening these areas, reducing the risk of issues like incontinence, back pain, or diastasis recti.

Progressive, Safe Recovery
Jumping back into high-intensity training too quickly can cause setbacks. Postpartum programs are designed to be gradual, meeting you exactly where you are in your recovery and helping you build strength step by step.

Energy & Confidence
Postpartum life is exhausting — but movement helps. Gentle, guided exercise can boost energy, improve mood, and reduce feelings of overwhelm. Fitness becomes less about aesthetics and more about feeling capable and confident again.

Community & Connection
One of the hidden benefits? You don’t go through it alone. Being surrounded by other moms who are navigating the same stage of life creates support, accountability, and friendships that extend beyond the gym.

Long-Term Health
Postpartum recovery isn’t just for the first year after birth. How you rebuild now sets the foundation for your strength, mobility, and energy in the years to come.


What to Look for in a Postpartum Program

  • Baby-Friendly Options – You shouldn’t have to choose between time with your baby and caring for yourself.

  • Expert Guidance – Coaches or clinicians who understand postpartum bodies and provide safe, structured progressions.

  • No Pressure – The focus should be on healing, not “snapping back.”

  • Community Support – Programs that make you feel seen, understood, and welcomed.


How BTB Supports Moms in Stittsville

It’s not about rushing. It’s about rebuilding strength and confidence — for real life.
