Elizabeth’s interest in human movement and injury rehabilitation started early in life, but it wasn’t until she was teaching yoga as her full-time job that she realized how much there was to know (and how little she did know) about the human body – resulting in a literal endless list of questions. On the path to seeking some answers, Elizabeth completed her Masters of Physical Therapy at Western University in 2014 and more recently completed a second, post-professional, physiotherapy degree at UBC – advancing her knowledge and skill in orthopaedic musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Further, Elizabeth has been practicing pelvic health physiotherapy since 2014 and is experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of the practice, including using real-time ultrasound for the assessment of the abdominal wall and pelvic floor muscles.
Splitting her time between both ‘regular’ (orthopaedic / musculoskeletal) and ‘pelvic health’ physiotherapy, Elizabeth offers a whole-body/whole-person approach to injury rehabilitation and function optimization. Always on a mission to find the root cause of a problem, Elizabeth often looks beyond the site of complaint to help stitch together a comprehensive picture of a problem. You’ll find sessions with Elizabeth are multi-dimensional – with assessment strategies tailored to her clients needs, and treatment options that may include IMS (dry needling), taping, prescriptive exercise, hands-on manual treatment, and helpful tips for continued improvement. As a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT), Elizabeth is dedicated to evidence based practice – including the appropriate, timely and sensible use of manual and manipulative techniques. Elizabeth considers manual therapy a single ‘tool’ in her toolbox and includes it in her well-rounded treatment approach.
Specific to pelvic health physiotherapy – Elizabeth treats all humans – with penises or vaginas, and anything in between. Don’t let the term of ‘pelvic floor physiotherapy’ fool you – it is not just about the pelvic floor and its definitely not only for women.
