Theo Ortega, BKin, MScOT

Theo has always been passionate about empowering people to return to the activities that matter most in their daily lives. He believes that through personalized care and collaboration, every client can overcome obstacles and rediscover their independence.

Through extensive travel across North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Theo has gained a deep cultural awareness, allowing him to better understand and respond to each client's unique needs. He has broad experience supporting clients in Canada, the United States, and the Netherlands, addressing a variety of patient populations, including musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries, oncology-related conditions, chronic pain, mental health concerns, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and complex diagnoses.

Theo spent most of his OT career in Toronto, Ontario, before becoming certified to practice in the United States, where he specialized in oncology rehabilitation and lymphedema therapy in Orlando, Florida. Theo's background includes service in the Canadian Armed Forces, giving him a unique perspective on the needs of military personnel and veterans. In his free time, Theo enjoys a range of outdoor activities, from hiking and backcountry camping to skiing and scuba diving.
