Registered Physiotherapist

M.Sc.(PT), B.Sc.(Kin)

 

I have more than a decade of clinical experience in orthopedics and sports medicine. Upon graduating from the B.Sc. Kinesiology program, serendipity led her to Dr. Stuart McGill where I had the pleasure of working in his spine biomechanics research lab. After being humbled by debilitating low back and leg pain - and the good fortune to be coached through it by a world-renowned low back disorders expert - physiotherapy seemed the best way to coach others through their own injuries.

​

An M.Sc. Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto followed. I have worked in orthopedics since 2009, empowering people to manage their injuries and embrace movement.

​

Movement, Mulligan (i.e. customized movement guidance) and McKenzie (i.e. how can you fix it yourself) philosophies make up my foundation. I use an evolving range of "tools" beyond those including spinal manipulation, myofascial work, taping, cupping, shockwave, and acupuncture.
