About Alyssa
Growing up in the Rockies, Alyssa brings her passion for the outdoors to her work as a physiotherapist. Before moving to Ottawa to complete her master's degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Ottawa, she spent her time doing mountain and endurance sports. She mainly competed as a high-level ski racer for over 10 years, where she was introduced to cycling and running through dryland training. In order to pursue an academic career, she retired from skiing but continues to this day to spend her summers on the bike.
Now living in Ottawa, Alyssa works as a physiotherapist and bike fitter, and has experience working with college sports teams along the way. Since graduating, she has continued to build on her training. She is certified in functional dry needling and has completed additional training in concussion management, the McKenzie method, and cycling injury management and prevention. She has also taken multiple continuing education courses in bike fitting in both Canada and Spain, and has now completed over 1,500 bike fits. She has also been called on as a source for bike fitting articles in publications including Cycling Magazine and Bicycle Magazine.
In her free time, you can find her out on her bike or racing in endurance events, including marathons and five Ironman triathlons.
Alyssa's background in competitive sport shaped her philosophy both as a physiotherapist and bike fitter. She has a particular interest in women's sport and performance and brings a unique perspective to the bike fitting community, being one of the only women fitters in the region. As a physiotherapist, she subscribes to the idea that movement is medicine and wants to help people achieve their goals, whether that's training for their first triathlon or just being strong enough to carry hockey equipment around.
