Olubukola (Bukky) Mayomi

BScPT, MErg, PhD (Ergonomics & Human Factors)

“Friendly patient-specific care is at the heart of my practice. I work with the patients, educating them as we go on, so they can take the active role in their recovery.”

Bukky completed her Bachelors in Physiotherapy in University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 2000 after which she practiced physiotherapy in The Presidency, State House Clinic.

In her desire to further help her patients, she went to England to study, completing her PhD in Ergonomics and Human Factors at Loughborough University. This gave her a better understanding of the interaction between the people and the environment, which has helped her practice to consider factors and interactions that could contribute to the presenting injury complaint. While in England she practiced as a physiotherapist in private practice before coming to Canada.

Since coming to Victoria, she has worked with employers in understanding the causes of workers injuries using the ergonomics and human factors lens as well as in home and community care, guiding patients through prescribed exercises post-surgery.

Bukky is patient and has experience working with a diverse population ranging from geriatrics to pediatrics, including athletes. Specializing in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions using an evidence-based approach, she uses her knowledge of exercise therapy, alexander technique and manual therapy as well as human factors in the management of patient conditions.

Dedicated to ongoing learning, she is looking forward to studying acupuncture and vestibular rehabilitation and incorporating those therapies into her practice to further help her patients.

Bukky says “I love data, so in my free time I code and model (structure) data into digital computer charts; apart from chilling outdoors with my 5-year-old daughter Ini, friends and family.”

Eric Ginter

Registered Physiotherapist

From the injured worker to the Olympic-level athlete, my mission is to guide my clients towards their optimal health and lifestyle. I firmly believe in the power of “exercise is medicine”!

By embracing a holistic approach, I craft personalized plans that align thoroughly with my clients’ needs and goals. Your lifestyle, hobbies, past injuries, and medical history are all integral pieces of the puzzle we’ll solve together.

One of my greatest joys is assisting individuals battling chronic pain, especially those who have tried various therapies with limited success. I pride myself on being a creative problem-solver who thinks outside the box.

My training encompasses a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, which includes a “hands-on” approach, and is aimed at alleviating pain, enhancing movement, and aiding in injury recovery. From the globally recognized precision of Neurokinetic Therapy® to the specialized techniques of dry needling and medical acupuncture, expertise in managing vestibular disorders, concussions, and in addressing TMJD (temporomandibular joint disorders). Regardless of your condition, I’m equipped with a comprehensive toolkit to address your needs effectively.

 

Originally from Northern BC, I found my love for the island during my time studying at UVic. Outside of work, you may find me soaking up the sun at the beach, hitting the waves in Tofino, riding my Peloton or exploring nearby trails with my fiancée, Jacqueline, our two young daughters and our cherished dogs.
