Ellen has been a physiotherapist at Sports Centre Physiotherapy since graduating from Dalhousie University in 2015. In that time, Ellen has been committed to expanding her knowledge in facets of physiotherapy by taking a variety of postgraduate-level courses. These courses range from vestibular rehabilitation to functional dry needling. Vestibular Rehabilitation: In 2018 Ellen completed Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation through the Dizziness and Balance Rehabilitation Clinic. As such, she is interested in treating clients dealing with vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and other inner ear dysfunctions. Concussion Therapy: In 2016 Ellen completed her training to become a certified concussion management practitioner through Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI). As part of her training, Ellen can perform baseline tests for athletes and rehabilitate any individual who has suffered a concussion. As part of the CCMI program, clinicians are required to re-certify every two years to stay on top of the latest research regarding concussion management. In addition, Ellen enjoys helping anyone who has suffered a concussion return to their work and leisure activities. Orthotics: In 2018 Ellen took part in a course focusing on Custom Orthotic Therapy from The Orthotic Group. Ellen has a particular interest in treating foot and ankle pain, so learning to fit orthotics only made sense! On A Personal Note: Outside of the clinic, Ellen enjoys several different activities. She has been an active field hockey player since her days with the Women’s Field Hockey Team at UPEI. She continues to travel throughout North America, participating in tournaments. More recently, Ellen has taken up disc golf. She enjoys getting out in all seasons (even winter!) to play at the beautiful courses PEI has to offer. Ellen has also been a hockey referee since 2004 and enjoys travelling throughout PEI to officiate various levels.
