Nicole Heisterman

Nicole graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1997. She has honed her skills as a sports and manual therapist working in Whistler and Pemberton since 1999, and has worked with everyone from professional athletes to weekend warriors to people whose goals are as simple as walking around the block. As an avid mountain biker and skier, Nicole knows how hard it is to be injured and how important it is for her patients to return to the things that matter to them with confidence. Trained in manual therapy, Nicole uses an analytical approach to determine key factors that are causing problems in order to determine the best solution for each individual person’s injuries. She believes that loading the body optimally is the key to recovering from and then avoiding future injuries, and she has a significant focus on optimizing tissue loading and biomechanics in all stages of rehabilitation. Nicole is also certified in bike fitting and takes the same approach to optimizing mechanics on the bike that she does in other aspects of her work. She also has over 20 years of experience making custom splints and orthotics.
