Chiropractor
Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC is a chiropractor and co-founder at Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences in Richmond Hill, Ontario, known for meticulous assessment and a root-cause approach to pain and performance. Patients often seek her out when their symptoms feel “layered,” when pain keeps returning, or when they want answers that actually connect the dots, not just a quick reset.
A core focus of Dr. Ida’s practice is nerve entrapment and the mechanical patterns that keep nerves irritated. Many chronic pain presentations are not simply “tight muscles,” they are a system problem involving fascia, joint mechanics, posture, and how the body loads through daily life. Dr. Ida is especially effective with stubborn neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and upper-body tension patterns that are often driven by a mix of alignment, movement strategy, and nervous system sensitivity.
Her care is precise and structured, but never one-dimensional. Dr. Ida blends hands-on treatment with movement-based progression, so changes hold outside the treatment room. She is known for accurate diagnosis skills and clear explanations, helping patients understand not only what is happening, but why it is happening, and what will move the needle first. The goal is simple: reduce irritation, restore capacity, then build resilience so the body stops cycling back into the same pain loop.
Dr. Ida also has a strong focus on women’s health and pregnancy-related care. She supports pre- and post-natal patients with thoughtful, evidence-informed treatment that respects each stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Her approach often considers breathing mechanics, core and pelvic alignment, load management, and the real demands of parenting, not just symptoms on a checklist. Patients appreciate that her care is both deeply technical and genuinely supportive.
For those dealing with foot and lower-limb pain, Dr. Ida is frequently sought out for plantar fasciitis and related biomechanics. She looks beyond the foot itself, assessing how posture, hip control, gait strategy, and tissue capacity contribute to symptoms, then builds a plan that improves mechanics and reduces overload, not just short-term soreness.
At Movability, Dr. Ida is also central to the clinic’s complex pain work, including the nerve entrapment systems and hands-on nerve release strategies that underpin many of the clinic’s toughest recoveries. She collaborates closely with the Movability team to ensure patients are not being treated in fragments, but guided through a cohesive plan that matches both their nervous system and their goals.
Common focus areas include:
Nerve entrapment patterns and persistent nerve-related pain
Neck and shoulder pain, postural strain, alignment, and movement strategy
Headaches and tension patterns
Pre- and post-natal care, postpartum recovery, and return to exercise
Plantar fasciitis and foot pain linked to gait and whole-body mechanics
Chiropractor
Dr. Sina Yeganeh, DC is the co-founder of Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences in Richmond Hill, Ontario. He is a chiropractor, medical acupuncture provider, and human movement specialist recognized for his depth in chronic, complex pain, especially the cases that have been misunderstood, mislabeled, or stalled despite “doing everything right.”
Patients often arrive at Movability after years of trying to piece together symptoms that do not add up, pain that migrates, flares that appear out of nowhere, or a body that feels stuck in a loop. Dr. Sina’s work is built for that level of complexity. His approach is systems-based and pattern-driven, connecting biomechanics, fascia, nerve entrapment, posture and gait, jaw and cranial mechanics, vestibular input, and autonomic regulation into one coherent clinical map. Rather than chasing the loudest symptom, he identifies the underlying drivers and builds a plan designed to change the pattern and hold under real life demands.
A cornerstone of his clinical work is the precision assessment and treatment of nerve and fascial restriction patterns. At Movability, Dr. Sina co-developed specialized manual nerve release techniques aimed at addressing trapped nerves within fascia, paired with medical acupuncture, nerve decompression strategies, myofascial work (including decompression cupping when appropriate), and corrective exercise that is specific enough to create durable change. His care is hands-on, detail-heavy, and grounded in clear patient education so people understand what is happening in their body and what the roadmap actually is.
Dr. Sina is also deeply trauma-informed in how he approaches chronic pain. He understands that many complex pain presentations are shaped not only by tissues and mechanics, but also by the nervous system’s threat response, long-term stress load, and lived experience. He prioritizes safety, consent, pacing, and nervous system regulation throughout care, and when a case calls for it, he actively encourages and coordinates alongside trauma-informed mental health care and somatic therapy so the physical plan and the regulation plan support each other.
Dr. Sina is widely sought out for multi-system and “lesser-known” complex presentations, including overlapping patterns such as:
Dysautonomia and POTS
Functional Neurological Disorder
MCAS and multisystem sensitivity patterns
Small fiber neuropathy and persistent nerve pain presentations
Chiari malformation and craniocervical junction symptom patterns
Myodural tension patterns and cervicogenic headache presentations
Scoliosis-driven compensation and whole-body strain patterns
Complex headache profiles where CSF dynamics and intracranial pressure patterns may be part of the clinical picture (including IIH and CSF-related issues)
When a case suggests red flags or a deeper medical layer, Dr. Sina is skilled in care coordination. He collaborates with physicians and specialists, helps patients advocate for appropriate testing and referrals, and ensures the clinical story is communicated clearly so care does not stay fragmented.
Alongside complex pain care, Dr. Sina also works with elite and professional athletes across sports, where the margin for error is small and durability matters as much as performance. He brings the same root-cause lens to return-to-play and high-performance care, because the limiting factor is rarely just strength or mobility, it is often a deeper pattern in mechanics, tissue capacity, and nervous system regulation. While he values performance work, his true passion is chronic, complex pain and the people who need a higher level of investigation, strategy, and execution.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Sina is an educator and global consultant in complex cases. He teaches healthcare practitioners across disciplines through Movability Masterclass and the Global Movability Mentorship, and he consults internationally with physicians and clinicians on difficult cases that require systems-level analysis and clear next-step planning. For select individuals, he also offers discreet concierge in-home care designed for private, high-touch delivery.
Dr. Robert Tarulli DC
Chiropractor
Dr. Robert Tarulli, DC is Movability’s sports-focused chiropractor, known for helping active people get back to training, competing, and living at full capacity with a plan that actually holds under load. He works with athletes at every level, from highly competitive to “I just want my body back,” and he’s especially trusted for the cases where symptoms keep returning because the underlying mechanics have not been addressed.
Dr. Robert’s style is equal parts performance-minded and clinically precise. He starts with a detailed assessment to understand how the injury happened, why it is still happening, and what your body is doing to compensate. That means looking beyond the painful spot to the full chain, including posture, joint mechanics, gait, and foot function. Many recurring knee, hip, and low back problems are driven by how you load through the ground, and Dr. Robert is meticulous about finding that driver and building a strategy around it.
Care with Dr. Robert is hands-on, structured, and progressive. Depending on the case, treatment may include chiropractic care for the spine and extremities, medical acupuncture, nerve decompression strategies, targeted myofascial work, taping for support between visits, and corrective exercise that bridges you from pain relief to resilience. You are not just treated, you are coached through a return-to-performance process with clear milestones, simple home strategies, and an emphasis on long-term durability.
He frequently supports athletes and active individuals dealing with back and neck pain, sports injuries, headaches, nerve irritation patterns, and post-surgical stiffness that makes returning to sport feel uncertain. Whether you are trying to run, lift, skate, swing, throw, or simply move through your day without guarding, Dr. Robert’s goal is to restore confidence in your body and rebuild capacity where it matters most.
Dr. Robert also collaborates closely with the Movability team, integrating chiropractic care with physiotherapy, massage therapy, and strength and conditioning when a case benefits from a multidisciplinary plan. The result is cohesive care that moves in one direction, with everyone working off the same clinical story.
Common focus areas include:
Sports injuries and return-to-play planning
Back and neck pain in active bodies
Headaches and recurring tension patterns
Nerve irritation and stubborn “why won’t it settle” symptoms
Post-surgical rehabilitation support and restoring mobility
Gait and foot mechanics, recurring knee, hip, and lower-limb issues
Taping, corrective exercise, and performance-minded rehab progressions
Nima Mazinani R. Ac
Registered Acupunturist
Nima Mazinani, R.Ac is Movability’s registered acupuncturist and a respected Traditional Chinese Medicine educator. His work is for people who want more than symptom chasing, especially those navigating pain, stress, nervous system overload, and complex patterns that require a thoughtful, whole-person approach.
Nima practices classical acupuncture with a modern, grounded lens. He is known for taking the time to understand the full story, how your symptoms began, what triggers flares, what helps, what drains your system, and what your body has been trying to compensate for. Patients appreciate his calm presence, precise technique, and the way he explains what he is seeing in a clear, practical way.
Treatment with Nima can include acupuncture, cupping, and Gua Sha, selected intentionally based on your presentation, your capacity that day, and the outcome you are working toward. Some visits are focused on down-regulating stress and restoring sleep and recovery, others are targeted to pain patterns and stubborn tension that keeps pulling the body back into the same loop. He also offers cosmetic acupuncture for people who want to support facial tone and skin health in a natural, non-injective way, with an emphasis on overall vitality and regulation.
Nima’s work is especially valuable for patients whose symptoms are heavily influenced by stress, trauma load, or long-term nervous system strain. He is trained as a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy, and he understands how emotional and physiological stress can shape pain, inflammation, and resilience. In practice, this shows up as care that is paced, consent-based, and regulation-focused. When appropriate, he encourages coordinated support alongside trauma-informed mental health care and somatic therapy, so the body and nervous system have a cohesive path forward.
As an educator and instructor in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nima brings a high standard to clinical reasoning and professional ethics, and he brings that same clarity to patient care. He also collaborates closely with the Movability team, helping integrate acupuncture into larger plans that may include chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and strength and conditioning.
Common focus areas include:
Acupuncture for pain patterns, tension, and recovery support
Stress, burnout, sleep disruption, and nervous system regulation
Cupping and Gua Sha for stubborn tightness and myofascial restriction patterns
Cosmetic acupuncture for natural facial rejuvenation and skin vitality support

Coordinated care that complements rehab, training, and hands-on therapy
Shaniece Duncan
Registered Massage Therapist
Shaniece Duncan, RMT is a registered massage therapist at Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences known for care that feels deeply restorative while still being clinically precise. Her sessions are built for real bodies and real seasons of life, from high stress and chronic tension to postpartum recovery, athletic loading, and post-operative healing.
Shaniece’s approach blends therapeutic massage with a strong understanding of how the nervous system and soft tissue respond to pressure, pacing, and consistency. She tailors every session to the goal of the day, sometimes that means down-regulation and recovery, other times it means focused work for restricted tissue, stubborn knots, or areas that keep compensating. Patients appreciate that she listens closely, explains what she is finding, and works with intention rather than just “chasing tightness.”
A standout area of Shaniece’s practice is post-operative support, particularly scar tissue care. She is experienced working with people navigating post-surgical tissue restriction and sensitivity, including complex post-cancer recovery such as mastectomy scars. Her work is thoughtful and consent-based, focusing on comfort, mobility, and helping tissues adapt over time, while respecting each person’s healing timeline and medical guidance.
Shaniece also has a strong focus on motherhood care. She offers pregnancy-safe and postpartum massage, and provides Mommy and Me massage sessions designed to support both parent and baby in a calm, nurturing setting. These appointments are ideal for families who want gentle hands-on support for stress, tension, and the physical demands of early parenthood.
For clients who love deeper relaxation, Shaniece offers hot stone massage, an excellent option for full-body tension, nervous system downshift, and that “reset” feeling that lasts beyond the table. Whether you need recovery-focused care, scar tissue support, or a quieter moment to breathe, Shaniece creates a session that is both professional and human.
Common focus areas include:
Therapeutic massage for chronic tension and stress-related pain
Post-operative massage support, including scar tissue care (including post-cancer surgeries such as mastectomy)
Pregnancy and postpartum massage
Mommy and Me massage sessions for parent and baby
Hot stone massage for deep relaxation and full-body down-regulation
Sports and active-body recovery support
Sara Nugent
Registered Massage Therapist
Sara Nugent, RMT is a registered massage therapist at Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences known for work that is both deeply therapeutic and quietly exceptional. Patients often describe her touch as intuitive, the kind of session where you feel understood without needing to over-explain, and where the right areas are addressed with precision, not force.
Sara’s care is ideal for people carrying stress and tension in the places that change everything, the jaw, neck, shoulders, upper back, and hips. She has a strong focus on TMJ work and jaw-related tension patterns, supporting clients who clench, grind, wake up with headaches, or feel tightness that radiates into the face, neck, and shoulders. Her approach is paced and consent-based, with a goal of easing guarding while restoring mobility and comfort.
She blends therapeutic techniques with a nervous-system aware style, helping clients shift out of “always on” mode. Some sessions are designed for recovery and down-regulation, others are more targeted for chronic tightness, training-related tension, or the kind of muscle guarding that keeps pulling the body back into pain. She adapts pressure thoughtfully and communicates clearly so the work stays effective and comfortable.
Sara also provides scar tissue work for people recovering from surgery or injury. She understands how scars can create restriction, sensitivity, and altered mechanics through surrounding fascia and soft tissue, and she approaches scar care with skill, patience, and respect for the body’s healing process. Her scar work is often a meaningful piece for clients who feel “stuck” in a region long after the surgical site has closed.
Sara collaborates closely with the Movability team, integrating massage into broader care plans alongside chiropractic, physiotherapy, pelvic health, acupuncture, and strength and conditioning. The result is treatment that fits into a larger strategy, not just a single session of relief.
Common focus areas include:
TMJ and jaw tension, clenching and grinding-related pain patterns
Headaches, neck and shoulder tension, upper body stress patterns
Therapeutic massage for chronic tightness and nervous system overload
Sports and active-body recovery support
Scar tissue work and post-surgical soft tissue restrictions
A calm, intuitive approach designed to help the body finally let go
Michael Miglietta
Registered Physiotherapist
Michael Miglietta, PT is a physiotherapist at Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences who blends clinical precision with real-world performance thinking. People book with Michael when they want more than a few exercises, they want a plan that is evidence-based, clearly explained, and built to hold up when they go back to training, sport, and full life.
Michael is known for structured assessment and sharp clinical reasoning. He looks for the true limiter behind pain and movement restrictions, whether it is tissue capacity, mechanics, load management, or the way the nervous system is responding after injury. Sessions are practical and progressive, combining hands-on care with therapeutic exercise, corrective movement, and strength and conditioning that actually matches your goals.
He also brings a strong academic lens into the clinic. Michael is a course instructor at York University and has published research in physiotherapy, which shows up in how he thinks, how he tracks progress, and how intentionally he chooses interventions. You get the confidence of current evidence, without the experience feeling clinical or cold.
Michael works with a wide range of active and complex presentations, from post-surgical rehab to sport-specific return-to-play, and he is especially valued by runners and athletes who need programming that respects performance demands while rebuilding durability. Concussion management and running gait analysis are also key parts of his practice, especially when symptoms or setbacks are lingering and require a more complete plan.
He has particular clinical interest in Achilles pathologies, meniscus injuries, rotator cuff conditions, and runner-related injuries, the kinds of cases where small details change outcomes and where the wrong plan can keep people cycling in and out of pain. Michael collaborates closely with the Movability team when a multidisciplinary approach is the fastest path forward, so patients feel like their care is unified, not fragmented.
Common focus areas include:
Orthopaedic and sports injury rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation and return-to-activity planning
Concussion management
Running gait analysis and runner-focused rehab
Chronic pain management and myofascial release
Corrective exercise, strength and conditioning

Dr. Vivian Do ND
Naturopath
Dr. Vivian Do, ND is Movability’s naturopathic doctor, known for clinical depth, calm precision, and an ability to bring order to complex health stories. Many of the patients who book with Dr. Vivian are not dealing with one isolated issue, they are managing multiple diagnoses, layered symptoms, and competing priorities. Her strength is building a clear, realistic plan when the picture is complicated.
Dr. Vivian has a systems-first approach. She takes a detailed history and timeline, looks for root drivers, and pays close attention to how stress physiology, hormones, digestion, nutrient status, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic health are interacting. Her visits are structured and practical, so you leave understanding what matters most right now, what can wait, and what will create the biggest shift first.
She is especially skilled at supporting patients with multiple comorbidities, where fatigue, brain fog, gut symptoms, mood changes, weight or metabolic concerns, and hormone or thyroid patterns overlap. Instead of piling on random supplements, she prioritizes clarity, targeted testing when appropriate, and stepwise changes that you can actually maintain in real life. Patients appreciate that she is both thorough and grounded, she does not overcomplicate, but she also does not miss what others gloss over.
Care with Dr. Vivian may include evidence-informed clinical nutrition, lifestyle counseling, botanical and nutritional support, and targeted supplementation, with a strong focus on foundations like sleep, blood sugar stability, digestion, and nervous system load. When appropriate and within scope, she can also discuss hormone support strategies, including bioidentical hormone options, always with attention to safety and coordination with your broader medical care.
Dr. Vivian works particularly well as part of a team. When a case is complex, she collaborates with Movability’s clinicians and, when needed, a patient’s physician or specialists so care feels coordinated rather than fragmented. The goal is to help you feel steady, supported, and finally in control of your health plan.
Common focus areas include:
Complex cases with multiple comorbidities and overlapping symptoms
Fatigue, low energy, nutrient deficiencies, and anemia patterns
Hormonal health, thyroid patterns, and cycle-related symptoms
Digestive concerns, bloating, reflux, IBS-type presentations, and gut-driven inflammation patterns

Santiago Cordova
Certified Personal Trainer, PTA, Rehab-Basesd Performance Coach
Santiago Cordova is Movability’s rehab-to-performance bridge, the coach patients work with when they are ready to turn treatment gains into lasting strength, control, and confidence. As a personal trainer and physiotherapist assistant (PTA), he understands the clinical “why” behind an injury, then translates it into the practical “how” of training so progress keeps moving forward instead of cycling back.
Santiago is known for thoughtful, assessment-driven coaching. He looks at how you move, breathe, load, and compensate, then builds a plan that matches your current capacity while steadily expanding what your body can tolerate. His style is not random workouts or generic strengthening, it is intelligent progression designed to reinforce alignment, rebuild tissue tolerance, and restore performance without flaring symptoms.
A large part of Santiago’s work is supporting people who have a history of injuries, chronic pain patterns, or complex movement limitations. He excels at bridging the gap between rehab and real life, whether that means returning to lifting, running, sport, or simply moving through daily demands without fear. He collaborates closely with Movability’s clinicians so your care feels unified, not fragmented, and so your training plan respects the bigger clinical picture.
Santiago is also continuing to grow his clinical skillset, with a long-term goal of pursuing physiotherapy. Patients appreciate his calm coaching, technical attention to detail, and the way he meets them where they are while still expecting meaningful progress.
Common focus areas include:
Rehab-based personal training and return-to-exercise coaching
Corrective exercise, movement retraining, and alignment-focused strength work
Building tissue capacity, resilience, and confidence after injury
Strength and conditioning for people with pain histories or recurring setbacks
Training integration with chiropractic, physiotherapy, pelvic health, and massage therapy plans

Sweta Pandya
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist
Sweta Pandya, PT is Movability’s pelvic floor physiotherapist, known for combining high-level clinical skill with a calm, trauma-informed approach that helps people feel safe, respected, and understood. Pelvic health concerns are often personal, layered, and frustrating to navigate, especially when symptoms have been minimized or explained away. Sweta’s work is built around the opposite experience: thoughtful assessment, clear education, and a step-by-step plan that restores confidence in your body.
Sweta approaches pelvic health through a whole-body lens. She looks at pelvic floor function in context, including breathing mechanics, core and pressure management, hips and spine mechanics, posture, movement patterns, and nervous system regulation. This matters because pelvic symptoms rarely exist in isolation. When pain, stress, or long-standing compensation patterns are present, a plan that only focuses on “tight vs weak” can miss the real drivers.
Her care is paced, consent-based, and practical. Sweta understands that trauma history, chronic stress, and a sensitized nervous system can shape pelvic pain, bladder symptoms, and recovery. She prioritizes communication, choice, and comfort at every stage, and when appropriate, she supports a coordinated approach alongside trauma-informed mental health care and somatic therapy so the physical plan and the regulation plan support each other.
Sweta works with people across genders and life stages, including pediatric patients, supporting children and teens with age-appropriate pelvic health care and family-centered education. She also supports adults seeking help for incontinence, urgency and frequency, pelvic pain, sexual health concerns, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, pelvic pressure and prolapse-type symptoms, and pre- and post-surgical pelvic care. Her goal is to help every patient feel steady, informed, and guided with a plan that fits real life.
Advanced training and designations
Sweta’s training includes:
PHS: Level 1, Female and Male Incontinence
