Santi Tellez Alvarez
(Registered Physiotherapist)
Santiago (“Santi”) is a bilingual physiotherapist who graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2023, following the completion of his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at Western University in London, Ontario. During his undergraduate studies, he volunteered as an athletic trainer with the Jr. Mustangs Football team, where he developed a strong interest in orthopaedics and sports rehabilitation.
Through diverse clinical placements—including in-patient neurology, cardio-medicine, and outpatient orthopaedics—Santi has cultivated a passion for working one-on-one with individuals to help them achieve their personal goals. He is committed to delivering a comprehensive and patient-centered approach to care, integrating education, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapy to optimize outcomes and enhance overall well-being.
Santi has completed his AIMS Level 1 and Level 2 (Lower Quadrant) courses through the Orthopaedic Division, along with additional training in dry needling, acupuncture, and vestibular rehabilitation.
Outside of the clinic, Santi enjoys staying active through basketball, tennis, and strength training, and values maintaining an active lifestyle. He also enjoys travelling and spending time with friends and family.
