Orthopedic and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist

When it comes to orthopaedic and pelvic health conditions, Amy has a passion for treating her patients through motivation and the power of knowledge. She also has an interest in growing her proficiency with individuals who are facing pelvic floor dysfunction and pain. She has experience providing rehabilitation for individuals with pelvic floor dysfunction for various reasons including pregnancy, prolapses, menopause, pelvic girdle pain, etc. Amy works WITH her clients to empower each woman to feel that she is in control of her own health. Outside of pelvic health conditions, Amy has experience working with individuals experiencing joint pain, muscle strains and sprains, arthritis, and sport-related injuries. She was a varsity wrestler herself, so she can appreciate an athlete’s desire to get back to the sports they love. Having additional experience providing rehabilitation care to the varsity wrestling and volleyball teams as a Student Trainer during her time at Lakehead, Amy recognizes that there are many aspects that play a role in an athlete’s life. Amy graduated from Lakehead University with an Honours Bachelors of Kinesiology in 2016. In addition to her Master of Physiotherapy, Amy has completed her Master of Science in Kinesiology at Lakehead University in 2018, evaluating concussion injuries and prolonged symptom recovery. She has experience and expertise treating individuals with acute and chronic concussion symptomatology. She can identify and treat the personal and physical challenges individuals face immediately following injury as well as those experiencing prolonged symptom recovery. Every concussion presents itself differently from person to person and is also unique depending on whether it is the first or third concussion. Accordingly, Amy believes concussions deserve more than a cookie cutter solution and need to be customized to each individual and their future goals! Amy is also a member of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (Orthopaedic Division, Women’s Health Division, and Private Practice Division).
