Janyka Drouin-Physiotherapist
My name is Janyka Drouin. In 2020, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics partly from the Université de Moncton, where I played university hockey, and partly from the University of Ottawa. Building on this foundation, I completed my Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Ottawa in 2022.
During my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of working as an athletic therapist with the Ottawa Junior Senators hockey team, as well as working as a trainer for the young athletes and participants of all ages. These experiences were instrumental in shaping my current path.
As someone who hails from a small town in Eastern Ontario and who loves to be active, I have always felt a strong connection to the community of Rockland. My deep interest in sports (hockey, baseball, golf), physical training, and the intricacies of the human body all feed into my passion for physiotherapy. Ultimately, my goal as a practitioner is to help people regain their complete physical abilities, surpass their limits safely while training and pursue their own passions and aspirations. Beyond my professional pursuits, my family and dogs hold a very special place in my life. I’m eager to contribute to the well-being of the community at Rockland Family Chiropractic and Wellness Centre.
