Mario began his rehabilitation career in 1996 as a Rehabilitation Assistant at King Dufferin Rehabilitation Clinic in Toronto, where he supported physiotherapists in delivering individualized treatment plans — guiding patients through therapeutic exercise, gait training, transfers, and functional mobility as part of a multidisciplinary team.

He has a particular interest in working with seniors and with patients recovering from surgery or injury, where steady encouragement and consistent follow-through on a home exercise program make the difference between a good recovery and a great one. At Advanced Physio Plus, Mario works alongside our registered physiotherapists to reinforce prescribed programs, prepare treatment areas and equipment, and keep every patient supported between appointments.

Fluent in English and Polish, and conversational in Russian and Ukrainian, Mario is able to connect comfortably with the diverse communities we serve across Mississauga and the west GTA.
