About
Patricia graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor’s in Human Kinetics and a Master’s in Physiotherapy in 2012.
She has obtained certifications in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) and Acupuncture. She has completed advanced training in vestibular and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, with experience treating orthopaedic conditions such as repetitive strain injuries, post fracture, post surgical, rotator cuff tears, arthritis, low back pain, vertigo/dizziness, motor vehicle accidents, and more.
Patricia’s treatment approach focuses on a thorough assessment, goal-setting, correcting movement dysfunctions, and empowering her clients to achieve recovery. Her approach is individual-tailored to each client using a combination of manual therapy techniques (such as joint mobilisations, dry needling, cupping therapy, soft tissue release techniques, and taping), health education, and personalized corrective exercise programs.
