Physiotherapist (Exam Candidate)

Monna Damaso

Monna is a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy at Our Lady of Fatima University (Philippines) and received her license as a Physical Therapist thereafter. It was her childhood dream to work in the medical field. During her internship, her passion for the profession only increased after having the opportunity to work with patients suffering from neurological conditions with a mix of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions. She took pride in being one of the best interns during her final clinical placement.

 

After moving to Canada in 2019, she joined the team at Glen Young Physiotherapy as a rehab assistant. She has been working at the clinic since then and is very pleased to now introduce herself as one of the Physiotherapists.

 

She recently took a course for cancer care rehab and would love to do more post-graduate courses to be able to help more patients in different aspects of physical rehabilitation.

 

If not working, you would see her either at the gym working out, playing with her nieces and nephews at the park or going for bike rides. She took interest with aerial yoga and also loves reading self-help books while sipping on a great cup of coffee.
