Meet Hilary mallinger

co-founder.
sport physiotherapist.

A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I completed my Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Queen's University in 2016. Prior to this, I studied at the University of Toronto, completing a Bachelor of Kinesiology with a minor in Music History and Culture. I have the privilege of working as a sport physiotherapist with Volleyball Canada Senior Women’s Indoor National Team. I have also worked as a sessional instructor with the University of Toronto's Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, as well as a Clinical Instructor for the University of Toronto's Master of Physical Therapy Program. I have a special interest in working with sport related injuries and rehabilitation, particularly with teenage athletes in run/jump/throw sports, as well as with long distance runners.

I was a competitive cross-country skier for much of my life. I understand the dedication and commitment it takes to be a high performance athlete, and the importance of keeping your body operating at an optimal level. I aim to take an active approach to treatment with all of my patients, including personalized treatment and exercise plans, and to help my patients, whether high performance athletes or weekend warriors, to achieve their physical activity and lifestyle goals. 

In addition to my current role as a member of the IST (integrated support team) with Volleyball Canada Senior Women’s Indoor National Team, I have worked with Markham Revolution Volleyball Club, Barrie Rugby Football Club, and have volunteered with Figure Skating Canada, Ontario Parasport Games and at the 2015 Pan Am Games. I train with Culture Athletics GT as a half and full marathon runner, am an avid skier, enjoy weightlifting and walking my dog (and cat).
