✨ Meet the Team: Alexis Abercrombie, RMT ✨

We’re so excited to introduce (or re-introduce!) our lovely Registered Massage Therapist, Alexis Abercrombie. We feel incredibly lucky to have such a talented and compassionate RMT as part of our team. 💚

Alexis has been fascinated by the human body since 2013, when she first began growing her own little human! That experience sparked a deeper curiosity and passion for understanding how the body works and heals. Her journey has included certifications in Yoga, Hypnotherapy, and Reiki, all of which enrich her thoughtful and well-rounded approach to care.

Her love of learning eventually led her to pursue a career in Massage Therapy, work she finds both rewarding and challenging in the very best way. Alexis takes a personalized approach with every patient, creating treatment plans tailored specifically to individual goals and needs.

She has successfully treated a wide range of conditions, from TMJ to plantar fasciitis, and is also trained in RAPID Neurofascial Reset. RAPID is a movement-based technique performed over clothing (no oil or lotion!) that combines assessment and treatment to address the nervous system’s role in pain, tension, and restrictions within muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

Alexis loves embracing new challenges and opportunities to grow, and she is deeply committed to helping her patients achieve their health and wellness goals.

At this time, Alexis is not able to accept new clients, but we’ll be sure to let you know if that changes!

We’re so grateful to have her on our team. 💫

✨ Meet the Team – Lynn Morrone, Kinesiologist ✨

Please join us in welcoming our lovely Lynn Morrone to the spotlight! 💙

Lynn is our dedicated Kinesiologist, leading our aquatic therapy group and offering both 1:1 and group kinesiology sessions, as well as home visit care to support clients where they’re most comfortable. Her compassionate approach and depth of knowledge make her an incredible resource for our community.

Lynn earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Honours) from Acadia University and began her career in Sackville, Nova Scotia in 2002. There, she gained valuable experience working with motor vehicle and workplace injuries, as well as sport injury rehabilitation.

After moving to Ottawa, she expanded her expertise in private practice, working in athletic training and conditioning, corporate fitness, health and wellness consulting, personal training, office ergonomics, orthotic construction, functional capacity evaluations, and more.

Her passion for learning continued in a hospital setting, where she specialized in post-operative orthopedics, stroke care, geriatric and ambulatory care, acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries, diabetic education, kinesio taping, back education, palliative care services, and infection control, and she also obtained her GLAD Certification.

Outside of work, Lynn is a busy mom of two who loves staying active through running, skiing, and swimming, a true reflection of the healthy, active lifestyle she encourages in her clients.

With a strong commitment to lifelong learning, Lynn is excited to offer aquatic therapy and rehabilitation services in Perth and the surrounding communities. We’re so grateful to have her expertise, energy, and heart on our team! 🌊

Q & A session with gynaecologists to answer your menopause questions!!

To help women navigate this stage of life with clarity and confidence the SOGC is hosting two free, virtual Q&A events with gynaecologists to answer your burning menopause questions!

We understand that getting to an appointment isn’t always easy. Whether it’s snow days, illness, or accessibility issues, life happens. 💚

If you’ve been curious about trying pelvic health physiotherapy with us but our location hasn’t felt accessible, we’re happy to meet you where you are. We offer virtual physiotherapy appointments, so you can receive care either in our clinic or from the comfort of your own home 🏡

We provide Telehealth Pelvic Health Physiotherapy to clients across Ontario, helping you access the care you need, wherever you are.

Please don’t let these challenges prevent you from prioritizing your health. Telehealth appointments are available to book here ✨: https://ap-physiotherapy.janeapp.com/

We’re so excited to share some very happy news… 💚

Please join us in welcoming back our lovely Annabelle McNutt, PT, who will be returning to the clinic this summer 2026! 🎉

Annabelle is a highly skilled Physiotherapist who graduated from Queen’s University with both a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Master’s of Physical Therapy. She’s worked in busy private orthopaedic clinics across Ontario and Calgary, Alberta, and has now settled in Perth, where she’s immersed herself in the specialized and much-needed world of pelvic health physiotherapy.

Annabelle is deeply passionate about her work and about bringing awareness to the importance of pelvic floor preventative and rehabilitative care. She’s committed to helping end the stigma around conversations related to sexual health, bladder and bowel function, and the wellbeing of our “private parts” — creating a safe, supportive space where these topics can be discussed openly and confidently.

She takes a holistic, individualized approach to care, blending education with manual therapy, acupuncture/dry needling, soft tissue release, and exercise prescription to ensure every client receives a treatment plan tailored just for them. Annabelle has completed numerous specialized pelvic health courses, continues to pursue ongoing education, and is also trained in pessary fittings.

Outside the clinic, Annabelle loves staying active with her husband and three small children — a season of life she brings so much empathy and understanding into her clinical care.

We are absolutely thrilled to have Annabelle back on the team and can’t wait for you to reconnect (or meet her for the first time!) this summer. 💫
