Shannon
Littlejohn Burnes

Registered Physiotherapist

I was born and raised a country girl, but ended up settling in Toronto’s High Park area with my husband and two kiddos who keep me on my toes! 

I’ve always been active and I’m raising active kids too! My obsessions include my peloton, strength training, and pilates which I swear by to keep my low back feeling good. I’m an extrovert who thrives on connection and value my relationships with friends and family.

As a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT),  I am a certified Gunn-IMS (dry needling) practitioner and have specialized training in Acupuncture. This extensive training and unique skillset allows me to pull from various modalities during the time we are working together.

Giving back to the physiotherapy profession is something I take great pride in. I love mentoring the physiotherapists who work with me and leading small-group clinical units at the University of Toronto. Working through complex cases together and helping clinicians develop their confidence and clinical reasoning is one of my favourite parts of the job.

Teaching continually challenges me to grow, keeps my skills sharp, and ultimately helps me provide even better care to my patients.

I really enjoy working with an active population who’s engaged in their treatment. I look forward to helping return you to whatever your favourite sport or activity may be!

My specialities include treating:

  • Acute and chronic neck/back pain

  • Athletes with sports injuries at all levels

  • Post-op rehabilitation for orthopaedic surgeries

Dr. Brian Wright, DC

Licensed Chiropractor

Hi there! I have been a chiropractor since 2018, after graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College here in Toronto.

I have a special interest in helping patients find relief from headaches and migraines, using a combination of chiropractic care, acupuncture, and targeted treatment strategies to address both the symptoms and their underlying causes.

I approach every patient as a unique story. Whether you’re dealing with persistent back pain, neck tension, recurring headaches, or postural concerns,

My approach blends hands-on chiropractic care, acupuncture, movement education, and individualized rehab strategies, all grounded in clear communication and genuine partnership. You’ll always be an active participant in your recovery, with the tools and knowledge to keep progressing outside of our sessions.

I also provide custom orthotics to support proper biomechanics from the ground up.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me hosting board game nights with friends, exploring Toronto’s food scene, or swimming laps at the local pool, because I believe living well is a lifelong adventure.

Let’s work together to help you feel better in your body and get back to doing what you love most!

I love helping people:

  • Get out of pain and move more freely

  • Find lasting relief from headaches and migraines

  • Improve posture and spinal health

  • Better understand how their body is functioning

  • Return to the activities they care about with confidence

Hello!

It’s great to meet you- I’m excited to be the newest edition to the Resilience team! I come with over 20 years of experience in both Canada and Australia in clinical practice, teaching, research, and leadership roles in physiotherapy. While I’m so happy to be back in Toronto, I still have very strong connections with my friends, family and colleagues down under!

I am a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT) as well as a Musculoskeletal Specialist Physiotherapist awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapy in 2015. I am the immediate past Chair of Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a past chair of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia. I’m an examiner, complex case study marker and case study advisor for the Australian College of Physiotherapy, an Adjunct Clinical Professor at McMaster and I am involved in teaching at the University of Toronto. My published research is in whiplash associated disorders and pain sensitivity measures, and I continue to bring the latest evidence into my clinical practice as best I can.

I’m passionate about making sense of people’s unique circumstances that led them to physiotherapy and using manual therapy, movement and exercise to bring them towards recovery and better health.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve your goals.

Ness Natareno

Registered Physiotherapist

Hi there! I am a registered physiotherapist and a graduate of the University of Toronto’s MScPT program.

I became interested in a career as a physiotherapist during my undergraduate studies while volunteering for a mental health counselling service. It was at this time that I came to understand the huge link between emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

As such, I value a holistic physiotherapy treatment style that not only includes a combination of treatment techniques but also takes into account my client’s circumstances, goals, and priorities.

Outside of the clinic I like to spend time doing pilates, bullet journalling, or playing the piano. I’m also a big foodie, and am always looking for new cafe and restaurant recommendations!

My specialities include treating:

  • Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal: Level I

  • Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal: Level 2 Upper

  • Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal: Level 2 Lower

  • AN-IMS (Dry Needling)

  • Mastering BPPV, BVL and UVL

Nicola Banger

Registered Physiotherapist

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Nicola, and I’m so excited to be part of the team here at Resilience Physiotherapy.

I grew up on a farm in Kingston Ontario, spending my childhood running around outdoors, climbing trees, and riding horses (as well as doing my fair share of farm work), and developing a life-long love of the great outdoors. Helping to train horses and teach horseback riding lessons left me with a fascination for movement mechanics, and an interest in how to teach different movement patterns.

I completed my Master’s in Physiotherapy at McMaster University, and a clinical residency in orthopaedics at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. I’ve spent the last decade helping people get back to moving better and feeling better. I specialize in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and women’s health. In the clinic, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments: I love blending precise hands-on therapy with movement-based recovery to help you move with strength and ease.

Outside the clinic, you can likely find me running or biking around the city with my family, at the gym or yoga/pilates studio, on my paddle board, or going for a hike. If there is a good jazz band playing, you can also find me on the dance floor! I’m so excited to be back in Toronto exploring the parks, restaurants, and culture of the city!

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, navigating any aches and pains of parenthood, dealing with symptoms of menopause, or just want to feel stronger and more confident in your daily life, I’m here to help you get back to doing what you love.

Virtual Assistant

Hi!

I'm originally from Ontario, and my family and I moved to Nova Scotia in 2021.

When I'm not working my virtual assistant jobs, I'm playing with and caring for my son and daughter. My husband and I love spending our days outside with our kids, either exploring our forest, running around our yard or heading to the beach. My family thrives when we're outside.

Let’s Work Together
