Kaitlyn received her Master’s of Physiotherapy from McGill University in 2013 after completing her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Western Ontario. It was during her time at UWO, where she was the athletic trainer for the Women’s Field Hockey team, that she developed her passion for helping people and knew physiotherapy was the right career for her. Before being accepted to McGill, Kaitlyn had the goal of becoming a physiotherapist by the time the 2015 PanAm games came to Toronto. It was a dream come true when she was picked to be a part of the Indoor Volleyball Medical Team and watched the Canadian Men win bronze. Kaitlyn’s treatments have a strong focus on active therapy including the extensive use of acupuncture. Kaitlyn is so passionate about the positive effects of acupuncture that she is a Clinical Instructor with the McMaster University Contemporary Acupuncture program. Completing her advanced needling through the McMaster University Neurofunctional Sports Performance Practitioner certificate she has a unique functional approach to assessing and treating sports injuries and complex musculoskeletal conditions. Kaitlyn also has advanced concussion and vestibular training. Having completed the Shift Concussion Management level 2 courses, her treatment approach includes a detailed assessment, vestibular-ocular exercises, autonomic rehabilitation and a guided return to play/school/work plan. Kaitlyn’s Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation training is a great compliment for her concussion management. Most recently Kaitlyn has completed the Titleist Performance Institute Level 2 Body-Swing Connection course. As a golfer herself, she is excited to implement her knowledge in addressing some of the key areas of restrictions that may be impacting her patients’ swing. When not at work, Kaitlyn can be found on the golf course, working out at CrossFit or enjoying the beautiful Niagara area with her friends and growing family.
