I graduated with a BSc (Physical Therapy) from the University of Toronto in 1988. I began my career at the West Nipissing General Hospital in Sturgeon Falls, ON, working rotations in inpatient, outpatient, and home care. Since 1991, I have worked primarily in orthopedic and sports private practices in Ajax, ON.
I love to learn, and have taken numerous courses over the years in manual therapy, exercise prescription, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and pelvic health. I have advanced level training in John F Barnes myofascial release.
I am rostered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario to perform internal pelvic work following training with Pelvic Health Solutions in evidence based assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of pelvic health concerns.
In my home practice I focus on myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and male & female pelvic health, including pelvic pain and incontinence. Assessment and treatment are focused on the whole patient.
Your initial assessment starts with me taking the time to listen to your whole story, including full medical history and life events that may be affecting your recovery. Evaluation of your postural alignment, muscle imbalances, fascial/soft tissue/joint restrictions, and movement patterns help locate the sources of your complaints/problems
A personalized treatment plan including hands on techniques such as myofascial release, education, and specific prescribed home exercises is developed to help you reach your goals.
