About Cristiane
Cristiane has a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy from Brazil, a Doctorate degree from Japan and post-doctoral studies in Canada. She has worked and gathered experience in different fields of the rehab world including cardiorespiratory, orthopedic, and neurological rehabilitation in both private and public systems.
She has completed multiple post-graduate trainings, including the Vestibular Competency Course from Duke University and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) in Atlanta, along with additional courses on concussion and advanced manual therapy courses through the orthopaedic division of the Canadian Physical Therapy Association.
Cristiane is a certified MDT McKenzie therapist, Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) practitioner, and trained in LSVT BIG for Parkinson’s disease. She has taken additional training in the assessment and treatment of cervicogenic headaches and migraines from the Watson Headache Institute, as well as in Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and chronic pain.
Her approach to rehab is centered around finding the root cause of the symptoms. Appropriate exercises specific for each patient along with education empower patients to establish realistic goals and allow them to take action towards self-management and recovery.
Cristiane has a special interest in dizziness, vertigo, head and neck pain. My experience in vestibular, neurological, and orthopedic areas allows me to identify if dizziness or balance issues are related to vestibular causes, neck problems, or other disorders requiring a specialist attention.
In addition to the work at CY Physiotherapy and Vestibular Rehabilitation, Cristiane has been working at the Neurovestibular (Vertigo) Clinic at South Health Campus since 2018 collaborating with various specialists to address the most complex cases of dizziness and vertigo in Calgary and surrounding areas.
