Questions about physio? Check this out!

I've had a lot of questions around what a physiotherapist is, and what our role is. I've been asked if we're the same as a message therapist or osteopath. I've also learned that some people have never actually heard the word 'physiotherapist'! Just because this is MY world, doesn't mean that everyon...

Physical therapists help individuals regain function that has been hindered by discomfort or pain. Physiotherapy or PHYSICALtherapy is the treatment or prevention of physical injury by means of exercise, manual therapy and education 🎓
•
We are our own regulated body with a governing college. Although we use similar techniques to massage therapists, we do not fall under the same title. We are also different from osteopaths, chiropractors and kinesiologists.
•
I treat individuals of all ages and activity levels, but focuses mainly on injury prevention and treatment for those who are between the ages of 40 and 65, especially if there is a mutual love for weight and resistance training🏋🏼
•
If you’ve been experiencing a new source of discomfort that’s holding you back from your daily activities, I can help! Never been to see a physio? Even better!

Reach out, I’m here to answer any questions you may have💪🏽

Heel pain? Check it out 👇

Did you know - When you experience pain on the heel of your foot, either on the backside or bottom, it's likely not the heels fault! In fact, much like many other injuries, the site of pain is really just the outcome of a perfect storm happening elsewhere on the body. Your heel, AKA calcaneus, is a....

What drives you? 💪🏽
What gets you through the dark, cold winter months? ❄️
What gets you looking forward to those bright, clear blue skies and warmer temps? ☀️
Maybe it's running on the trails beside the lake. Maybe it's the crisp sound of a club as it contacts a golf ball on an open course. Maybe you crave the warm sun beating down on your strong shoulders as they paddle you further down the open water.
•
Whatever it is, I can help you get ready.
•
The most common complaint I hear from my clients is:
"I wish I would have started sooner"
or
"Why did I wait so long to get this fixed?"
•
If you're hesitating to reach out about an ache or pain, don't let this be you. These things typically don't just go away on their own. Don't wait - the time is now!

I am currently accepting new patients! If you'd like more info, please reach out 🤍

Warmer weather is on the way. Are you ready?

Seriously. Warmer days are coming!! Most of us ramp up our activity in the spring and summer. We’ve been cooped up inside for so long, get SUPER excited and then let loose with the first signs and glimpse of spring. Can anyone blame us? BUT. After a long winter of cozying up under a blanket, our b...

Know anyone with an ACL injury or repair? Check it out!

When we hear about someone rupturing or tearing their ACL, our minds typically go to a sports injury such as soccer or football, where the athlete will have performed some sort of stellar stunt, jump or save, landed awkwardly on the leg, and BAM. There it goes. However, there are so many instances w...
