ABOUT KERI

She has experience treating a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, pre and post-operative conditions and work injuries. Keri has a strong interest in exercise based rehabilitation and has spent the last number of years running small group physio pilates classes. Keri is able to complete a variety of traditional hands-on treatment such as joint mobilization, dry needling, and patient education.

Why did you become a Physiotherapist?
I played a lot of sport in high school and with that I had a lot of injuries. I tore my ACL when I was 16 and it was during my pre and post op physiotherapy that I started to consider this as a potential career. I loved the idea of being able to help people keep moving, get back to their hobbies and sports.

Do you have an area of special interest?
I enjoy helping people prepare for surgery through prehab and get back to what is most important to them with postoperative rehab for orthopedic conditions, especially hip, knee and ankle. I also have a special interest in antenatal exercise and helping new and expecting moms exercise and manage their aches and pains.

How does movement impact your life?
I grew up in an active family that was always going for bike rides or skiing, and signing up for fun runs. I now spend my time running after my two toddlers, walking my bulldog, Lenny, and going to yoga and pilates classes. I can’t wait to explore the city and the mountains with my two Aussie babies.

What does a great Physiotherapy experience look like to you?
A great physiotherapy experience to me starts with the patient explaining what has happened, how it is impacting them and how they hope we can help. Getting a clear diagnosis and treatment plan so both the patient and therapist can work together to reach the patients goals is very important. It always helps to have a little bit of fun too!
