Shivani Bhardwaj, PT

I am a dedicated physiotherapist with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy from Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya National Institute for Persons with Physical Disabilities, New Delhi, India. My career began in India, where I worked in a long-term care facility and as a consultant, treating patients with a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal to neurological.

I gained valuable experience providing virtual care, which enabled me to connect with and treat patients across the globe. To enhance my expertise, I completed a certificate course in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, further strengthening my clinical skills and evidence-based approach.

Motivated to broaden my horizons, I moved to Canada to pursue a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Healthcare Management at Cape Breton University, Nova Scotia.

Beyond my professional journey, I enjoy exploring Canada’s “ocean playground,” where kayaking and visiting local beaches have become some of my favorite pastimes.

I am thrilled to be part of the Cole Harbour Physio team, bringing both my clinical background and healthcare management knowledge to support our shared goal of providing outstanding patient care.

Hi, I’m Maude Jobin Marchand, PT.

I completed my physiotherapy degree at Laval University in 2014 and have since worked in private clinics and gyms, specializing in the treatment of adults with musculoskeletal conditions. I am also trained to provide telerehabilitation services when needed.

My lifelong connection to sports—particularly running and surfing—has fueled my passion for sports physiotherapy. Actively participating in these activities gives me firsthand insight into the physical demands they place on the body. Over the years, I have developed expertise in managing low back and foot pain and created a lumbar stabilization program that has successfully helped many individuals move away from orthoses.

I am committed to evidence-based practice and have completed additional training in dry needling, manual therapy, and exercise science. My holistic approach emphasizes preventive strategies: I teach exercises to improve muscle balance, posture, and body awareness, and I offer guidance to help patients build long-term resilience.

During your rehabilitation journey, I see myself as both physiotherapist and coach. My goal is to empower you to understand your body better, restore function, and achieve an active, pain-free lifestyle. I am fully bilingual in French and English, ensuring that patients can communicate in the language they feel most comfortable using.

I look forward to working with you on your path to recovery and performance.
