Nancy Lu, PT
About Nancy
Their own wordsEducation & Credentials:
- Masters of Physical Therapy from Western University
- Bachelor of Honours in Life Sciences, double majoring in Biological & Nutritional Sciences from University of Toronto
Nancy has always been skilled in working with her hands, such as drawing & painting. Equally, she has always excelled in sciences. But it wasn’t until after she graduated from undergrad that she explored the career path of Physiotherapy. After completing a volunteer opportunity at a local clinic, she was really impressed by her mentor’s hands-on skills. And thought Physiotherapy is the perfect combination of science & artistry.
Nancy is highly skilled & detail-oriented in assessment & treatment. She uses a multi-modal approach for optimal outcomes, including a creative balance of advanced hands-on techniques. Additionally, she uses her creativity & keen eye for postural & body movement analyses to create personalized treatment plans jointly with her patients.
As an advocate of health promotion & disease prevention, she not only helps individuals get back to what they love doing most, but also facilitates the necessary skills for life-long health & well-being. Given her expert biological & nutritional sciences background, she has a strong foundational knowledge in the theories of the human body & systems.
In her free time, you will find Nancy enjoying the sun at the local beaches, decorating & organizing her space, & learning how to care for her plants!

“Book this service if this is your first pelvic physio visit with us. Or if it has been longer than 6 months.
This service includes:
1) A 10-20-min comprehensive assessment. Most information is collected beforehand via an online intake form. A MSK examination will assess your posture, range of motion, joint & soft tissue mobility, & functional movements.
2) An internal examination will assess physical dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles, such as muscle tone & functional strength. For instance, you might be experiencing painful intercourse because your pelvic floor muscles are excessively over-active. In this instance, your physio will teach you strategies to relax the muscles at rest.
3) A detailed analysis & working physio diagnosis will be communicated to you.
4) A 1-on-1 30-min treatment with the physio or longer; consisting of manual therapy, education, & a personalized home exercise program.
