Andrea Mendoza

After providing physiotherapy treatment to many teens diagnosed with scoliosis and observing their families’ anxiety and frustration with a lack of services, Andrea Mendoza took a leap into clinic ownership and launched The ScoliClinic in 2016 as a solo practice dedicated to addressing families’ scoliosis-related physical and emotional needs. Fast forward to present day: with 3 locations and a team of 30, The ScoliClinic’s reach has broadened beyond early expectations to fill gaps of the medical system, providing high quality scoliosis-specific physiotherapy and massage therapy to kids, teens, and adults. Blending pragmatic problem-solving with an appreciation for the social and emotional complexities of human interaction, Mendoza is intentional with the growth of The ScoliClinic. The team encourages personal development of staff and clients to create increasingly diverse and inclusive spaces and practices. Mendoza combines her advanced scoliosis training with her enthusiasm for philosophy, business strategy, and healthcare leadership to continually evolve The ScoliClinic’s service to the scoliosis community, aiming to change the landscape of conservative scoliosis management in British Columbia and beyond.
