About
What Sets Me Apart
Dr. Michelle Basil graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2001. Dr. Basil has also trained in Activator technique and has studied Acupuncture in both Sri Lanka (1999) and at McMaster (2009) as well as several courses in Toronto.
After first experiencing the healing effects of chiropractic care for her headaches at the age of 10, Dr. Basil began to understand and appreciate the complexities and abilities of the human body. So, while she was initially exposed to chiropractic as a healing tool, she was also set on a path with a guide to a healthier lifestyle and the foundation was laid for a lifetime of wellness and health promotion.
Today, after 20 years of practice, Dr. Basil enjoys incorporating a wide variety of tools and techniques into her practice, always being sure to include an individualized, patient-centred approach to help overcome injury, restore function and sustain wellness. In addition to gentle and accurate chiropractic adjustments and mobilizations, Dr. Basil incorporates a variety of soft tissue techniques including Activator, Graston, myofascial release and exercise rehab to help patients reach their goals.
Dr. Basil is licensed by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario and is a member in good standing of the Canadian Chiropractic Association and the Ontario Chiropractic Association.
When she’s not in clinic you might find Dr. Basil out and about in the community with her family and Portuguese water dog.
