Sarah received her Bachelor of Science with a minor in Nutritional Sciences at the University of British Columbia. She then pursued a Master of Physical Therapy degree, graduating in 2013 from UBC.
Sarah has taken post-graduate courses for dry needling, rehabilitation Pilates, visceral and neuromeningeal manipulation, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Sarah is certified in the Progressing Ballet Technique. In 2016, she completed the Clinical Mentorship in the Integrated Systems Model (ISM).
Sarah grew up as a competitive ballet and highland dancer. During these years, she first encountered physiotherapists that helped her rehabilitate dance injuries. Sarah later discovered Pilates and found this personally beneficial for reducing her risk of injury and maintaining a good level of strength. These experiences have guided Sarah in her journey as a physiotherapist. In addition to dance and Pilates, outside the clinic, Sarah enjoys hiking, skiing and snowboarding.

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.
Clinical Pilates
Take your treatments to the next level with a personalized rehabilitative Pilates program designed with your injuries in mind.
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”.
Rehab & Surgery
You’ve had your surgery and your mind tells you it’s time to return to your old routines, and maybe some new ones. But your body says, “Not so fast.” The truth is, before you can get back to these activities, you’ll likely need some rehab to regain your mobility and strength.
Pre & Post Orthopaedic Surgery
Our physiotherapists will complete a full assessment both pre and post-op and develop an individual treatment plan to help expedite your recovery and reduce any secondary problems related to the surgery.
