As a therapist with extensive experience, I am excited to be part of your health journey and assist you in fulfilling your health and fitness goals. I am proud to be able to put the letters FCAMPT behind my name. This means that I have completed the extensive education in Manual Therapy (hands-on) and passed numerous exams. This allows me to have a Fellowship in the Canadian Association of Manipulative Physical Therapists. My ability to treat chronic pain improved tremendously after I ventured out to Vancouver several years ago to complete the training for Gunn IMS (dry needling). I have found this to be a highly effective treatment for chronic muscle tension and utilize it frequently in my treatments. Acupuncture (CAFCI) and therapeutic exercise round out my Physio “Tool Kit”. In addition, we can not underestimate education. Including this in therapy is essential for optimal outcomes. My assessments (60 minutes) and treatments (30 minutes) allow me the time to complete effective assessments and subsequent treatments.
Virtual appointments are a convenient option. Please contact me by email to arrange a Virtual appointment.
Initial Assessments and Follow-up appointments can be booked online.
