Scotia Physiotherapy
Robin grew up in Nova Scotia and always knew she wanted a career in health care. After a car accident in 2022, she worked with a physiotherapist to return to her active lifestyle. Experiencing firsthand how physiotherapy can impact a person’s physical and mental well-being inspired her to pursue it as her career. Robin completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University in 2026. She integrates her personal athletic experience with evidence-based assessment treatment to provide individualized, collaborative, and patient-centred care. She enjoys working with patients of all activity levels and is especially passionate about supporting individuals to maintain their athleticism and stay active throughout pregnancy and postpartum, as well as treating climbing-related injuries and conditions. Outside of her physiotherapy practice, Robin is an avid rock climber. She enjoys both indoor and outdoor climbing and has travelled nationally and internationally to explore different climbing environments. She is also a coach with a local youth climbing team. Beyond climbing, Robin stays active through running, snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, and spending time outdoors.

Please book an assessment if you are NEW to Scotia or have not been assessed for this issue within the past 3 MONTHS. A physiotherapy assessment visit will include history taking and evaluation of your injury and surrounding joints that may affect your injury. This will involve approximately 40-60 minutes of one-on-one assessment, discussion of your goals and treatment plan, plus treatment time with your therapist. It is very important that at the time you book an assessment, you also book at least 2 follow-up appointments ~1 week apart, if possible, as our therapists are often booking several weeks in advance. This will help ensure you receive the care you need at a time convenient to you.
