Sue graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. She has experience practicing as a registered physiotherapist in multiple settings including both private practice and public healthcare, and across many provinces including Nova Scotia, Alberta & New Brunswick. Sue has valuable experience working with a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, such as joint replacements, acute & chronic sports injuries, chronic pain & rheumatology. Additionally, she has worked extensively with motor vehicle injuries, incorporating functional assessments, job site/ergonomic analysis, as well as designing and managing return to work programs. Currently, Sue is a Certified McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT)(https://mckenzieinstitute.org/) practitioner. In MDT, assessment is focused on identification of a mechanical cause of the patient’s spinal or extremity pain and/or obstruction to movement. The patient is an integral component of the assessment, and is then equipped with the tools and education to manage their pain and/or obstruction to movement. Sue is passionate about preventative, early intervention treatment. Her enthusiasm for continual learning and expansion of her expertise is infectious, and precedes her exemplary reputation for effectively developing and implementing outcome-based treatment plans to support her patient’s health goals. When not working, Sue enjoys curling, travelling, going to the gym, biking and hiking in stunning Alberta.
