Lisa likes to empower clients to improve their function and achieve their goals. She finds it essential to help clients decrease pain, but also assist them in understanding and correcting the source of the problem. Lisa has been practicing physiotherapy since she graduated from the University of Alberta in 2010. She has taken training in advanced manual therapy, acupuncture and dry needling. In addition to orthopedic issues, she has a special interest in dizziness. She has training in assessing and treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and other vestibular disorders as well as concussion management. Her work with vestibular conditions has lead to an interest in applied neurology. Applied neurology uses the function and anatomy of the brain to target pain, vision, vestibular and balance deficits. This creates a more efficient way of treating the individual. Your vestibular and vision systems can have a big impact on your pain. She has taken an interest in using specific exercise to treat conditions related to pelvic stability. Conditions affected by the pelvis can range from hip, back, shoulder, knee pain and more. This can be beneficial to anyone, but especially people returning to activity after pregnancy and birth. Lisa grew up in the Okanagan and has played soccer from a young age. At this point in her life, when not at work, she spends most of her time chasing her young children around.
