Dr. Mateo Lino came to Ottawa from Toronto, ON after graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in 2018. Originally Albanian-born, Dr. Lino was raised in Greece prior to coming to Canada in 2000. He grew up in Etobicoke and went to Martingrove C.I. where he was involved in multiple extracurricular activities and sports such as wrestling, football, soccer, and running. Initially gravitating towards engineering, to follow his father’s, uncle’s, and grandfather’s footsteps, he instead pursued a Specialized Honours B.Sc. in Kinesiology & Health Science out of Toronto’s York University. This was subsequent to developing an interest in the human body and how to maximize its potential through natural, holistic approaches, which arose after succumbing to a few sports injuries of his own. While engineering builds and enhances machines and structures, Chiropractic enhances the human body naturally.
Dr. Lino’s past experiences as a Personal Trainer and in managing athletic injuries, has given him a great appreciation for regular rehabilitative care to help prevent injuries and speed up the healing process. He has worked with special populations such as hip and knee osteoarthritis/arthroplasties, acquired brain injury patients, patients with neurodevelopmental conditions (autism, ADHD, Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, to name a few), pre- and post-partum patients, infants and children, athletes, and all family members.
In his spare time, Dr. Lino loves to spend time with his loving wife, explore parks with their dog, and find new play-spots in the city with their two young children. Don’t hesitate to honk as you’ll often spot Dr. Lino running along Ottawa streets, likely preparing for another local road race or Marathon. You’re also likely to find him at the gym, weight-training, playing soccer or football.
Dr. Lino’s approach incorporates a holistic, full-body wellness, providing a combination of hands-on and instrument-assisted Chiropractic adjustments, such as the Activator and Spine Align technologies. He delivers soft tissue techniques to the spine and joints throughout the body, utilizes the micro-current and Theralase cold laser therapy and makes sure you get a set of individualized exercises appropriate for the whole family.
