Business Spotlight // Umana Health

Located in South Etobicoke at Kipling and The Queensway, Umana Health is run by a team of health professionals and enthusiasts looking to bring emphasis to health and wellness to those in the neighbourhood and the city at large. Umana Health is a boutique physiotherapy clinic owned by physiotherapist Felix Umana. The Kevin Yu Team recently spoke with Felix, as well as clinical director Laura Hubley about what makes Umana so unique.

The owner started off back in 2012 with a one-room gym offering strictly physiotherapy, but soon realized that they would be better able to serve the community by tying in a number of specialties. Umana Health now incorporates several specialties and employs a number of other types of practitioners to offer a myriad of services.

With physiotherapy alone, Umana Health is able to treat a wide array of conditions. But adding different specialties to the clinic expands their reach to help more people with different conditions that may benefit from other specialists’ knowledge, experience, and techniques. It just made sense to create a clinic that incorporates a symbiotic approach to healing and health.

One thing that sets Umana Health apart from a physiotherapy perspective is that the clinic focuses on advanced-level exercises. Many clinics may get patients to a certain level, but they either don’t have the required facilities nor the expertise to take clients to the next level. Umana Health is able to offer equipment that resembles that found in a gym so that patients are able to engage in “active physio” that also allows them to master movement and weight techniques that patients can do safely on their own long after they’ve left the clinic.

To take things even further with their clinic, the team at Umana Health makes every effort to integrate into the local community. They’ve partnered with Haven on the Queensway, for instance, a nonprofit charitable organization that serves the Etobicoke area. Each year, the Umana team takes part in the “Coldest Night of the Year” walk to help raise money for charities.
