Myriam is a Certified Athletic Therapist passionate about helping clients stay active, optimize health, and reach their goals. Growing up, she played various sports including soccer, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, track, and cross-country. As a former UVic Vikes field hockey player, her own complex injury inspired her career in rehab and injury prevention. Her attention to movement mechanics eventually led her to compete in Olympic weightlifting and the CrossFit Games, and work as a personal trainer. She has treated professional and elite athletes with the Vancouver Whitecaps and UVic Vikes, gaining experience in clinical settings under spinal, pelvic floor, and vestibular specialists. She utilizes comprehensive assessments to uncover root causes, drawing from soft tissue release, joint mobilizations, and targeted modalities to pair hands-on care with active rehabilitation for lasting results. She excels at modifying movements around limitations and guiding clients through safe, effective programming to manage head-to-toe musculoskeletal injuries. She has a special interest in sports injuries, repetitive strain, dynamic posture, gait, and fall prevention. She takes a patient-centred approach, focusing on educating clients and collaborating with anyone who wants to take an active role in their recovery. Whether you are an athlete, office worker, or senior, she is dedicated to providing the foundation for long-term participation in the activities that matter most to you.
