How Footprints Therapy Began
Over 35 years ago our founder Tema Stein was working at Bloorview Children’s Hospital as the head paediatric physiotherapist. Tema treated many children with complex chronic neurological and orthopaedic disabilities. She saw clients as inpatients and outpatients and those attending Bloorview school. Something Tema observed during her time there was that there was inadequate ongoing therapeutic care for these children outside of Bloorview Children’s Hospital.
In 1988, with passion and determination, Tema opened the first Footprints Therapy clinic in North York, Ontario. With only one treatment room, and by word of mouth, Tema built an amazing private therapy clinic. The clinic began with paediatric physiotherapy and eventually expanded to include Osteopathy, Occupational Therapy, Naturopathy and began to serve both the paediatric and adult population.
Over 10 years ago her daughter Samara Stein took over the clinic and has since expanded it to now include Psychotherapy and Myofunctional therapy. Samara also opened a second location in Innisfil, Ontario to provide therapy services to Simcoe County and its surrounding communities.
Footprints Therapy is unique in its multi-disciplinary approach, where all the practitioners work together to maximize the protentional of every client who walks through our doors.
We strive to have the best therapists in their individual fields and promote a complementary lifestyle for all who need. If necessary, we refer our clients out to specific practitioners in our network who we trust to maximize their potential.
Our Goal And Vision
Our vision is to offer holistic health care. We tailor our intervention to the current needs of the client and refer within and outside of our clinic if necessary.
At Footprints our goal is to maximize the ability and potential of each individual – from infants to seniors.
