Maria holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary and a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta.
She has completed advanced post-graduate training, including Level 1 and Level 2 Functional Dry Needling (Intramuscular Stimulation), as well as coursework with the McKenzie Institute (The Lumbar Spine – Part A). She is committed to ongoing professional development and integrates current evidence-based research into her practice.
Her treatment approach emphasizes a combination of education, manual therapy, and individualized home exercise programs based on thorough assessment findings. Maria is dedicated to delivering client-centered care, ensuring each treatment plan aligns with her patients’ goals and lifestyle.
She has experience working with a diverse patient population, including motor vehicle accident (MVA) cases, WCB clients, AHS referrals, and private patients. She treats a wide range of conditions, including sports-related and repetitive strain injuries. She is also proficient in completing assessments and delivering treatment in Spanish.
Maria enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle through strength training, HIIT, yoga, and spin, and has a strong background in sports-related activities. Drawing from both her clinical training and personal experience with rehabilitation, she understands how injuries can impact daily life and the activities people enjoy.
