Dr. Ainsley began her academic career at the University of Toronto, where she graduated with a Bachelors of Kinesiology. There, while balancing a full course load, she helped the Varsity Blues Water Polo Team to a national championship title. Dr. Ainsley then moved to the Bay Area of Northern California where she completed her Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic - West, where she focused on Sports Chiropractic and the intricate aspects of human movement. She finished her Palmer academics graduating Suma Cum Laud as the Salutatorian of her class and was awarded the Presidential Scholar award. Having won a national championship, Dr. Ainsley has a thorough understanding of the physical requirements of the human body as a high-level athlete. She is no stranger to sports injuries and the work it takes to come back from them. First and foremost, she believes in an active, movement-based lifestyle, and emphasizes the importance of injury prevention. With each patient she strives to take an individualized treatment approach that focuses on getting to the root of the problem. In doing so, Dr. Ainsley can ensure that her patients can return to athletics and activity feeling and performing at their best. When she is not at the clinic, she can be found travelling internationally with our Canadian Skeleton Team and our Canadian Women’s Soccer Team, as a member of their IST, working sideline with a local hockey or lacrosse team, or running a warm up in a golf league. Dr. Ainsley’s treatments include spinal manipulation therapy, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, blood flow restriction, individualized rehab programs, return to sport testing, and most importantly education to empower her patients to reach their movement goals. Dr. Ainsley has completed additional certifications with the Titleist Performance Institute Medical tract (TPI Medical 3), Selective Functional Movement Assessments (SFMA Level 2), Complete Concussion Management (CCMI), On Pointe Dry Needling, and many more. In addition, Dr. Ainsley attended McMaster University where she received her certification in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture. Growing up in Calgary, movement and the outdoors have always been an important part of Dr. Ainsley’s life. During her free time, you will likely find her practicing her golf game, snowboarding in Whitefish, or hiking in Kananaskis with her friends and family.
