Meet your Physiotherapist

Hi! I’m Sama Farah-Mina, a Registered Physiotherapist based in Barrie, practicing at Empower Health & Wellness.

I hold a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Western University (2020) and have pursued advanced training to better support my patients’ unique needs, including:

• Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy (PHS Levels 1, 2 & 3)

• McMaster Neurofunctional Acupuncture Certification

My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and always tailored to your body and goals. I’m passionate about helping people heal, restore confidence, and live pain-free.

My initial introduction to Physical Therapy began during my 8 years as a competitive swimmer. It was during those years that I developed a deep appreciation for its role in recovery, performance, and prevention.

As I was graduating in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the dynamic social shifts prompted me to reflect on how I wanted to practice and who I wanted to serve. That reflection led me to pursue pelvic health physiotherapy, a field that supports a population often under-served and misrepresented in our healthcare system. I’m proud to be part of the movement bringing awareness, compassion, and quality care to this important area of health.

Whether you’re recovering from childbirth, managing pelvic pain, or dealing with chronic joint issues, I’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, and helps you feel your best!
