Why did you become a Physiotherapist?
I always knew that I wanted to work in healthcare. I considered becoming a physician or a nurse but these careers didn’t seem to quite “fit” my interests and personality. Growing up in a small town I was very active and participated in hockey, volleyball, basketball, etc. I had plenty of injuries but not a lot of exposure to physiotherapy. It wasn’t until I was in university that I ever really saw a physiotherapist for an injury and I remember thinking “wow, this is such a cool job”.
Do you have an area of special interest?
Upon becoming pregnant in 2020 I have become quite obsessed with pelvic health.I am hoping to work more and more with people struggling with pelvic pain, incontinence, peri-menopausal, peri-partum, post c-section, etc. However, I also really enjoy treating the neck, jaw, and shoulder.
How does movement impact your life?
Keeping moving has always been important to me. I have moderate scoliosis and being active growing up prevented it from really bothering me. As an adult, I have had to seek more direct strategies to keep my back and body feeling good and flexible. I like to move daily whether it is yoga, going for walks, or lifting weights.
What does a great Physiotherapy experience look like to you?
I think a great physiotherapy experience is one where you leave the appointment with an understanding of your injury, feel comfortable with your provider, know that there is a plan in place, and feel motivated to get better.
