About
I enjoy working with people of all physical and athletic abilities, whether the goals are tying your shoes without pain or running marathons! Together, we will discuss your objectives and make a plan achieve them. Depending on the condition, I typically utilize a combination of a therapeutic exercise program to address your functional deficit, with hands on treatment and acupuncture or needling to address your pain.
Since graduating with my Master's Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta, I have honed and increased my skill set to include treatment of vertigo and concussions, acupuncture, dry needling and spinal manipulation. I continue to attend courses and conferences to expand my professional knowledge.
Away from work I am typically spending time with my family or sporting – volleyball, slo pitch, swimming and hiking are my favourites!
I thoroughly enjoy working with patients to help them to meet their unique goals. I look forward working with you!
