Zoe Brown, Founder · Registered Physiotherapist & Vestibular Specialist

Zoe Brown

Founder · Registered Physiotherapist & Vestibular Specialist

Zoe is a physiotherapist who has dedicated her practice exclusively to vertigo and complex balance disorders since 2020. In 2026 she completed the Advanced Vestibular Physical Therapist (AVPT) certification through the University of Pittsburgh — a rigorous, internationally recognized credential that makes her one of Durham Region’s leading vestibular physiotherapists.

She is known for thorough assessments, excellent clinical results and close collaboration with local ENT specialists. Vestibular health is badly under-served, and conditions like vertigo, dizziness, motion sickness, concussion and chronic imbalance can upend everyday life. Zoe finds real satisfaction in closing that gap and helping people safely get their function, stability and confidence back.

Physiotherapy runs in the family: Zoe followed her mum, Carolyn McKelvie, into the profession after seeing the gratitude of Carolyn’s patients. The clinic carries the McKelvie name as a tribute to Carolyn’s decades of kindness, compassion and dedication to the craft.

Away from the clinic, Zoe is an avid soccer player and is heavily involved in dog rescue.
