Brenda has worked for a variety of Physiotherapy clinics both within the National Health Service (UK) and in private practice.

She has completed multiple post-graduate courses including acupuncture, manual therapy and rehabilitation pilates. Her clinical interests are in the treatment of shoulder, back and neck dysfunctions with an emphasis on improvement of function and core stability. She also assists in community physiotherapy through prenatal physiotherapy classes and she offers home visits to individuals who are unable to attend the clinic. When not at work Brenda likes to lead a quiet and healthy lifestyle with her husband, her two kids and her chocolate lab Marley. She is passionate about travelling and learning about other cultures and languages. In her spare time, Brenda enjoys hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. During those cold winter months, Brenda likes to practice Pilates to maintain strength, flexibility and overall wellness. Brenda’s favourite motto in life is “your health is your wealth,” and she uses her work in physiotherapy to promote this motto in her day-to-day practice.
