Brittany graduated from the University of Ottawa with an undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics followed by a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto.
She considers communication the key to understanding her client’s goals for treatment and incorporates individual lifestyles and evidenced-based practice to optimize her treatment plans. Her practice skills include manual therapy, exercise prescription, functional dry needling, and most importantly, patient education.
Brittany believes that learning never stops, and is always planning the next steps in her continuing education. Her true passion is pelvic health physiotherapy and she treats a variety of pelvic conditions for both men and women, including incontinence, pelvic girdle pain, pregnancy related pelvic floor issues and pelvic organ prolapse. She is very passionate about rehabilitation and strives to deliver the best client care for every individual she works with.
Brittany loves the outdoors, and loves to travel and her down-time passion is singing country music. When she is not in the clinic you will find her enjoying the outdoors, running, weight training and appreciating time with friends and family.
Some may ask- why move across the country for this job? I have been passionate about physiotherapy and the pelvic floor ever since beginning my studies. I don’t see my job as one person’s role, I see it as a team effort. We are continuously learning and collaborating with others. I am so thankful to have found a clinic and team that places such an emphasis on mentorship, collaboration and happiness. I always come to work with a big smile, and I know it is because of the team that I am so lucky to be a part of.

The Integrated Systems Model
This model allows clinicians to be more effective and efficient with their assessment and treatment in order to help patients develop better movement strategies and habits to help reduce symptoms and improve function and performance.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is useful as a biofeedback tool for ‘rewiring the brain’ or re-educating the proper timing of muscle contraction during both individual exercises and meaningful task training.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a term that applies to any technique that involves the therapist’s hands and is often used to restore mobility to a joint, muscle or nerve as well as to relax, or activate, muscles. Many different manual techniques are used, often in combination, to help your body begin to move more efficiently.
Dry Needling
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) was developed by Dr. Chan Gunn to treat chronic pain syndromes that affect the musculoskeletal system. IMS is a dry needling technique (dry in that no drugs are injected) that involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into taut muscle bands.
Movement Training and Exercise Instruction
Recent research has changed the way therapists use exercises for both rehabilitation as well as strength and conditioning. For all areas of the body, the evidence supports correcting problems associated with how you use your muscles in a coordinated manner.
Prenatal and Postpartum Screening
There are many myths around pregnancy. Physiotherapists who specialize in pre/post natal care can help debunk these myths, playing an important role in the management of physical changes that can occur both during and after these nine months.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Pelvic health physiotherapy is an umbrella term for physiotherapy that addresses aspects of anatomy and physiology related to or contained in the pelvis. This includes pelvic floor physiotherapy (the pelvic floor is the area between your legs, including your genitals, muscles, connective tissue and pelvic organs), which is an area of physiotherapy requiring specialized training.
Virtual Care
Telerehabilitation is a subdiscipline of telehealth and involves any rehabilitation delivered using telehealth technologies such as videoconferencing, sensors, chat / text, educational portals and more. The most recognizable form of telerehabilitation is the reproduction of the one on one physiotherapy via videoconferencing, most commonly known now as “Virutal Care”.
