The human body is designed to resist an indefinite number of changes and stressors. However, when you experience any health condition, injuries, or trauma, this becomes hard to believe. The secret to recovery, and the role of a Physiotherapist, lies in the successful adjustment to changing stresses on the body. As an upcoming Physiotherapist, Shirley is passionate about helping people of all ages, from children to seniors, live a healthy lifestyle by helping her clients realize the potential of the human body. Shirley incorporates a neuromusculoskeletal approach to pain management and movement ailments, as she appreciates the pivotal role between the mind-muscle-body connection. She also highly values the use of a holistic approach, looking beyond just physical structures to find the root cause of your problem. Shirley completed a Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto. During her study, she has had a wide variety of clinical experiences across the continuum of care, include pre and post-operative management of orthopaedic procedures, arthritis management, gait retraining, motor development, and return-to-work training. Shirley’s drive for self- improvement coupled with her inquisitive nature compels her to spare no expense in learning and integrating various techniques to better treat her patients. Currently, she is in the process of obtaining a certificate for the McMaster Medical Contemporary Acupuncture Program and completing AIM courses through the Orthopedic Division of Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
