(BHScPT / BPE / FCAMT / CAFCI / CGIMS)

Sharon studied physiotherapy at McMaster University and has worked in sports and orthopedic private practice since 1997. She has experience treating a variety of patients with injuries to the back, neck or limbs related to athletics, work, repetitive strain, and motor vehicle accidents. She earned her Diploma in Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, is certified by the Canadian Acupuncture Foundation of Canada, and is also certified in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS).

In her free time Sharon enjoys road and mountain biking, sailing, trail running, snow boarding and skate skiing. She has run two marathons and trained for a half ironman. In the summer 2010 she completed a two-day road ride to Seattle and the inaugural Gran Fondo ride from
Vancouver to Whistler.

Approach to treatment:

“My own pursuits have not been without injury and I understand how challenging it can be both physically and psychologically.”

Every new patient session begins with a discussion of the problem followed by a detailed biomechanical assessment. Sharon combines her personal experience with sports and activities to create a one on one treatment approach which is grounded in education, Manual Therapy, Exercise Prescription and accompanied by Acupuncture or IMS, aimed at enabling clients to return to their desired activities and hobbies quickly.
