Kathy enjoys working as a physiotherapist combining her undergraduate psychology and physiotherapy degrees. Recently she moved to Franktown from Ottawa with her husband and four pets and is excited to be living and working in the Ottawa Valley. She is a lifelong learner and has taken well over 40 orthopedic courses including manual lymphatic drainage massage, myofascial release, acupuncture, dry needling and manual therapy. In 1997 she completed her Intermediate Orthopedic Manual and Manipulation Certificate; one of the highest accolades bestowed to a manual therapist by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Kathy is passionate at getting to the root cause of your pain or dysfunction and uses a biopsychosocial model in combination with her 30 years of experience working as an orthopedic physiotherapist in busy Ottawa sports clinics. She believes in the power of the body to heal itself after injury especially when combined with therapeutic exercise. In combination with her years of experience, degrees and post graduate training she looks forward to helping get you back to what you love doing! Outside the clinic she enjoys renovating her century home, running, gardening, bird watching on her front porch while sipping a hot cup of tea and world travel.
