Shoutout to two of our young standout athletes at The Bridge YQL, star sisters of the gridiron, Alaxis and Taya.

At the 2025 U18 National Football Championships, Alaxis, who rehabbed an ACL injury with us, earned U18 Female Defensive Player of the Tournament and an All-Star nod, helping Team Alberta take down Ontario to bring home the gold in the process 🥇

Both girls were selected to their Female Football Alberta squads (Alaxis for U18 and Taya for U16) and Taya’s U16 Alberta team also beat British Columbia in the Battle of the Rockies.

Proud of their quiet work paying off in some big moments!

We are so excited to welcome Wes Bowie as a new Physiotherapist at The Bridge!

Born and raised in Lethbridge, Wes has been passionate about sports for most of his life, competing in football, rugby, and basketball. Through these pursuits, he experienced firsthand the challenges of injuries, including sprained ankles, broken bones, and significant knee injuries such as PCL and meniscal tears.

Wes earned his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge before completing a Master’s in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta.

With a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice, Wes takes an active approach to treating musculoskeletal injuries. His background as a CSEP-certified personal trainer and Strength and Conditioning Coach has shaped his physiotherapy philosophy, combining hands-on techniques with targeted exercises to help clients get back to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, Wes stays active through powerlifting (squat, bench, deadlift), bouldering, snowboarding, golfing, and exploring the outdoors.

We’re thrilled to introduce Ruthanne Wittke, the newest physiotherapist at our Lethbridge clinic! But Ruthanne is no stranger to The Bridge. She first joined us as support staff in Lethbridge before pursuing her physiotherapy degree at the University of Alberta.

While in school, she continued to work with our Sherwood Park team, gaining valuable experience and staying connected to her passion for movement and rehab. Now, she’s back home in Lethbridge to kickstart her professional career as a physiotherapist.

Ruthanne combines her academic background with her unique creative edge. With a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a fine arts background in dance and music, she blends evidence-based care with a deep understanding of movement. Her active treatment style focuses on exercise and education, helping patients move past their pain and achieve their goals.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Ruthanne hiking, strength training, practicing pilates, or enjoying a good mystery novel.

Join us in welcoming Ruthanne back to Lethbridge and to the next phase of her journey at The Bridge!

“Great people filled with knowledge and expertise. They care about the individual and the goals the individual has. Between myself and both of my kids we have seen Niko, Gray, and Andre. They have all been amazing and keep my kids engaged in both physio as well as strength and conditioning.”
