Gina holds a Bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge (2000) and another in physiotherapy from the University of Alberta (2005). Gina’s extensive post-graduate training in both manual and McKenzie based treatment techniques give her a unique skill set. Gina focuses on sports therapy and postural and repetitive strain injuries. Her treatments include spinal mobilization and manipulation, spinal stabilization (CORE) exercise, neural tissue mobilization, postural taping and myofascial release. Gina is also qualified to practice acupuncture and uses this, combined with a dry-needling technique (Gunn IMS), for patients with chronic pain and long standing musculoskeletal problems. She is currently working on completing her Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) levels and is excited to bring this into her practice to help her patients with both mobility and stability motor control problems. Gina recently completed her 200hr yoga teacher training and applies mindfulness and mind-body connection in her physiotherapy practice. In her off time Gina is an avid athlete with a background in many different sports, such as basketball, fitness competitions, triathlon, yoga, and crossfit, but cross trains today primarily because she loves it! She believes that not only physical health is important but mental health should not be over looked and practices both meditation and yoga on a regular basis. Gina also consults out in the community, and provides clinical and professional practice leadership. She provides coaching, mentoring and work planning to support various health professionals in their practice and strength training coaches in their programming. She runs various Movement and Mobility workshops to educate both health professionals, coaches, and athletes on the recognition of mobility and stability issues, and how it can alter sport or training performance. Gina is highly disciplined and knows that consistent work and dedication are keys to success. She also values life-long learning and continues to further her own education by taking advanced physiotherapy courses. Gina is friendly, enthusiastic, detail oriented and professional. She is committed to high quality care and loves knowing that her clients leave Restorative Sports Physiotherapy feeling better
