PT
Physiotherapist
Hello everyone! I’m Riley McErlean, a Physiotherapist at Foundation Physiotherapy’s Corktown location.
I obtained my Master’s of Physiotherapy degree from McMaster University. My additional specialized training includes acupuncture and dry needling and I am looking to pursue advanced training in manual therapy.
My approach to patient care is holistic, combining patients’ experiences and goals, evidence-based research, clinical judgment, and observation. My goal is to help empower my patients with the knowledge to understand their condition so they can actively participate in improving their overall function and well-being. Furthermore, as a former NCAA baseball player, I have valuable experience in the rigour of high-level athletics, and recovery from sports injury.
My treatment style combines hands-on therapy, acupuncture and dry-needling, individualized exercise planning, and lifestyle modifications to help make meaningful, long-term changes in a patient’s daily life. Every patient deserves to feel supported, informed, and confident throughout their rehab journey.
Outside of the clinic I enjoy working out at the gym, playing intramural sports, or spending time with family and friends.
