She has an Advanced Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Therapy from the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy and is certified to practice acupuncture by the Canadian Acupuncture Foundation Institute. As a physiotherapist, Erin has worked with varsity athletes in numerous competitive sports, including rugby, track and field, wrestling, soccer, and softball. She has also worked with many patients recovering from MVAs, work related injuries and various musculoskeletal issues. Erin has worked at LVOSP since 2007. With each of her clients, Erin provides an individualized approach using a combination of hands-on techniques, acupuncture or other appropriate modalities, education and exercise prescription. She uses real-time ultrasound to help her patients visualize and correctly use their deep abdominal muscles. Such core stability retraining is especially valuable for post-partum patients, and for those who are recovering from low back or pelvic injuries. A lifetime resident of Lynn Valley, Erin went to Lynn Valley Elementary and Argyle Secondary. She has enjoyed many sports including track and field, swimming, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, kayaking, snowshoeing, running, yoga and dance.

Strengthening without the strain! Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is the brief reduction of blood flow into a limb while exercising. BFR is done using an inflatable tourniquet system. This system is similar to a blood pressure monitor. Normally to increase muscle growth and strength you would need to lift a heavy load. With BFR, you can do exercises with a very light weight to protect injuries and still get the same positive results of normal exercise.
