Physiotherapy Services

I am a licensed physical therapist with an extensive history as a physiotherapist practicing for nearly thirty years. I am certified through the North American Institute of Manual Therapy as a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist. I have numerous other post-graduate courses in concussion rehabilitation, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy.

My area of interest is in the treatment of chronic pain. I have a multi-faceted, holistic approach and may use techniques ranging from joint manipulation to acupressure to EMDR. In addition I will likely teach you some yoga poses, mindful practices, and therapeutic exercises.

If you suffer from chronic conditions such as: migraine headaches, whiplash, low back pain, sports injuries, or repetitive strain and have not found solutions, I would be happy to chat with you. I am available for online appointments or in-person.

The Proper Way to Engage Core Muscles with the Basic Standing Pose.

Maybe you have heard of "core?" It is a buzz word in the fitness and health industry. Maybe you have even done some core exercises in a fitness or yoga class and really weren't sure why you were doing it? I often prescribe core exercises to my patients and I too, give instructions for engaging core muscles in yoga poses. Learning how to properly engage core muscles can be helpful for some types of back or neck pain and it may be helpful to improve performance in sports. Join me in this video as we explore the muscles of core and how to effectively contract them in the standing position.
