Dr. Villani graduated from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic in Connecticut, USA after completing undergraduate studies at York University. She works in multidisciplinary settings and offers expertise in general chiropractic evidence-based care. She has a special interest in care of the elderly and those with arthritis, women’s general health and wellbeing, sporting injuries, fitness and nutrition.
Her interest in chiropractic stemmed from her own experience as a patient in a rehabilitation clinic following a series of sporting injuries. It was from this exposure that she decided to work and volunteer her time in the clinical setting. This complemented her love for athletics and promoting a healthy lifestyle. She was impressed with how well patients recovered after chiropractic care, and was fascinated by the principles of this discipline.
Dr. Villani focuses her attention on both the physical aspects of care and on the emotional and psychological components. Her love for continuing education and self-improvement has led her to obtain certification as an ART (Active Release Technique) provider, Graston Technique provider, a neuro-structural taping provider (SpiderTech Kinesiotaping), a fitter of compression hosiery, and in advanced biomechanics and orthotics. Dr. Villani is also Webster Technique certified and has taken courses in perinatal and pediatric care. Dr. Villani also completed the Contemporary Medical Acupuncture program through McMaster University.
Dr. Villani has been selected as a medical practitioner for the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto and enjoys working with athletes.
Dr. Villani is a member of the Ontario Chiropractic Association, and the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
