Emily completed her Bachelors of Kinesiology and her Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. Her passion for helping people and her belief in movement as medicine led her to pursue a career in physical therapy. Her approach combines hands-on therapy, education and exercise-based rehabilitation to support and guide you throughout your recovery. She believes in working collaboratively with you to understand your goals and to empower you with the knowledge, confidence and skills you need to take an active role in your care. As a former competitive gymnast, she understands the challenges that can accompany injury and recovery and brings empathy, encouragement and a client-centered focus to her practice. Outside of the clinic, you will find her skiing, surfing, hiking, running and cycling.

Choose this if you plan on paying for the appointment yourself or with an extended health plan. Your first visit should always be booked as an assessment, not a treatment. A comprehensive assessment designed for individuals with neurological conditions affecting movement, balance, mobility, strength, and function. During your initial appointment, your physiotherapist will take the time to understand your medical history, current symptoms, personal goals, and how your condition impacts your daily life.
