Dr. Russett began practicing in Exeter, Ontario in 2002. The experience was such a positive one, that he moved to the area. Together with his wife LeeAnn, Dr. Russett opened the Russett Rehabilitation clinic in 2010, fulfilling a lifelong dream of having their own business.
Over the years Todd has taken a number of post graduate courses to improve his ability to aid in his patient's pain relief and recoveries from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. These include soft tissue therapies such as Acupuncture, Myofascial Release, Trigenics, Active Release, DermaNeuroModulation, Exercise physiology and Pain Management sciences.

This lifelong interest has also seen him follow the path of becoming a coach, and he has coached hockey, soccer, and baseball in both Exeter and Grand Bend.
Todd looks forward to many more years of serving the community and hopes to continue to provide the same high quality of service the clinic has become known for in the area.

She continued her working relationship with Todd and LeeAnn Russett, in the role of Office Manager, when Russett Rehabilitation was established in 2010.

Her love of animals is evident with her three dogs Macey, Sadie and Ruby and her cat Skye. Along with her husband Jeff and their three sons, Owen and twins, Brady and Cole, the farm has grow to include many more "pet" livestock than before! In her free time you'll find her cross stitching and decorating her home with many second-hand finds.

This is evident by the numerous post-graduate courses she has taken. Her goal is to treat the whole person and provide the most up to date, evidence-based treatments for her each of her patients.
Her professional interests include treatment and management of cervical, lumbar/pelvic/hip, shoulder and vestibular disorders using manual therapy, dry needling, exercise and education.
