Hi, I am Holly!

I completed my Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and my Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy (MScPT) at the University of Alberta. My drive to help others achieve their goals and my fascination with the human body led me to a rewarding career as a physical therapist. To sum it up – I have a passion for people! I was born and raised in the Edmonton area and take great joy in giving back to our community through volunteer work and participation in local events.

Providing exceptional quality care is my priority because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to have their story heard and to achieve holistic well-being. I look forward to helping my patients reclaim the activities they cherish most. My therapeutic approach places the patient at the center of shaping their rehabilitation plan, recognizing that your understanding of your own body is paramount. I use a blend of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and comprehensive education to make the journey towards your goals both effective and engaging. I am passionate about working with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and women’s pelvic health.

During my leisure time, you’ll often find me exploring hiking trails, scuba diving, enjoying yoga, or weight training in the gym. I love spending time with my husband and lively pups, Gus and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

For direct referrals: to book an assessment with Dr. Leah, please call the clinic.

My involvement with sports and movement first started out by playing ACAC Soccer with Concordia University in Edmonton, where I played for three years before completing my Bachelors of Physical Education at the University of Alberta in 2011. My work as a personal trainer at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park ignited my love for human movement and optimizing function, leading to a three-year journey at the University of Western States, where I completed my Doctor of Chiropractic and Masters in Science of Sports Medicine.

Since graduating, I have worked with numerous athletes from a wide variety of ages and experiences, one of my most memorable being my time with the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers.

Throughout my career, I’ve found myself most fascinated with faults of the feet and developmental kinesiology. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) - how we breathe and brace - has become a pillar of my practice, a lens of how to observe and analyze human movement. Assessing functional movement patterns while taking into account the nervous, muscular, lymphatic, skeletal, vascular systems and of course, mental or emotional states are all considered important in my practice.

On my rare days off, I’m at my happiest when I’m biking, climbing, running, snowboarding and playing in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. Otherwise you’ll find me trudging along with my son and doggos in our lovely River Valley.

I strongly believe movement is medicine and I’m committed to ongoing learning and evidence based care. When I am not in the clinic, I’m somewhere outside seeking an adventure.

Hi my name is Sebastian! I completed my Masters of Physical Therapy and Bachelors of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia. During my time at UBC, I gained invaluable experience with many local organizations including UBC Recreation, Special Olympics BC, and ICORD’s PARC Program. PARC researches the impacts of exercise in the spinal cord injury population. My passions for healthy living and exercise are what motivated me to pursue physiotherapy. My treatment-style incorporates an active therapeutic approach for patients through hands-on manual therapy, rehabilitative exercise, soft tissue techniques, IMS/ Functional Dry Needling, goal setting, and education. My previous work experiences fostered a special interest in foot, ankle, Achilles, and ACL rehab as well as running assessment and injury. I also have a personal interest in cycling and triathlon rehab. I moved to Edmonton from Vancouver and am excited to start a new adventure in Alberta. I am a die-hard Canucks fan and always love discussing the latest hockey news. Outside of work you can find me running or cycling on the trails (of course stopping and petting every dog I see), training for my next triathlon, walking my dog, and sampling every coffee shop Edmonton has to offer.

Hey Edmonton, my name is Michelle, and I am a physical therapist who is here to help you reach your rehab goals and guide you to pain free, functional movement. I am a graduate of the Physical Therapy program from the University of Alberta, and prior to studying in Edmonton I attended University in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario completing a Bachelor of Human Kinetics.

I provide treatment for a variety of orthopedic injuries and conditions, to patients of all ages. Whether you have injured yourself during a sport related activity or in your everyday life, I would love to help you determine the root cause of your injury and guide you through your rehab process.

I take particular interest in treating dancers, as I have twenty-seven years of dance training and experience. My love of dance started at the age of three and developed over the years through competitive dancing, teaching and dancing aboard cruise ships professionally. I currently stay active in the Edmonton dance community by teaching adult drop-in classes and taking class myself. My goal is to help dancers manage a current injury, prevent further injury & understand how to create longevity in their dance journey.

My treatment techniques include education, exercise, functional dry needling, and hands on therapy. You will also be provided with a specialized home exercise program to aid in your rehab process. My approach to physiotherapy is similar to that of a dance instructor, where I am here to provide you with advice, knowledge and encouragement! Alongside my guidance, your own commitment to your recovery will be essential to your success.

Michelle is also certified in Clinical Pilates and is passionate about providing this unique service in a rehab setting. She utilizes the reformer, tower and mat Pilates equipment in order to provide a graded core exercise program to rehab an injury, enhance performance and improve overall strength/mobility. This type of treatment is a great option for the Edmonton dance community as dance requires such complex choreography and movement patterns.

Designations: Master of Science in Physical Therapy, Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Major in Movement Science, Honours with Distinction), On Point Dry Needling Certification (Upper and Lower Quadrant), Clinical Pilates Practitioner

Hi, I’m Emma!

I completed both my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and my Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. I decided I wanted to be a physiotherapist after working closely with folks with disabilities through Special Olympics, motionball, and the Steadward Centre during my university years.

I believe in creating evidence based, individualized programs that fit your unique lifestyle to make physio as accessible as possible. My priority is making sure you have a strong voice in your rehab plan, because you know your body best! I take an active approach to treatment, paired with manual therapy techniques and strong patient education to create long lasting outcomes. I work with clients of all ages and conditions, including children and teens! Throughout your time in physio I will help you reach your goals, while also giving you the tools to avoid reinjury in the future. I can’t wait to get started with you!

Whether you want to compete in an ultra-marathon or get back to playing with your grandkids, I will do whatever I can to get you there.

Ultimately my goal is to allow you to continue to be active by providing you the tools to recovery quickly and avoid further injury.
