784 Richmond Street, London, ON, N6A3H5
Hi, I’m Sophia – Registered Physiotherapist A significant low back injury in high school redirected my dance career aspirations towards physiotherapy, after experiencing firsthand how the combination of scientific knowledge and a trusting relationship could get me back on my feet (literally and figuratively). Since graduating with my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from Boston University in 2013, I have worked in both orthopaedic and pelvic health physiotherapy settings in the US and Canada and pursued certification courses in manual therapy and dry needling. With an interest in understanding the body and person more holistically, I completed a Master of Arts in Theological Studies in 2016 from Regent College, where I had the opportunity to study the intersection of spirituality, sexuality, neurophysiology, and faith. In 2019, I moved towards specializing in the pelvic health field full time, landing me in London, Ontario. I am registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), the Women’s Health Division of the CPA, and the Ontario Physiotherapy Association. I continue to enjoy post-graduate learning with a few courses per year offered by leading pelvic health education organizations. When not in the clinic, you’ll find my introverted self plunked on the couch watching BritBox, enjoying a latte at a local coffee shop, trying to take my gardening and birdwatching skills from beginner to intermediate, playing board games with my husband, and trying somewhat successfully to exercise regularly.
