Please note Brittany is currently on Maternity leave and will be resuming clinical hours in the near year.

I always knew I wanted to be a physiotherapist. Over the years, I’ve experienced several concussions, sprains, and strains through multiple car accidents, while playing soccer and practising gymnastics. Needless to say, I was a frequent flyer in the rehab clinics.

Surprisingly, I actually looked forward to going to my physiotherapy appointments. I loved learning the science behind my injuries, and I was constantly bombarding my therapists with questions so I could understand more. During that time, I decided that one day, I would be the person that my patients would look forward to seeing. I’d be the one helping them with their injuries and empowering them to achieve their health and wellness goals.

Today, I’m especially passionate about helping weekend warriors, weightlifters and soccer and hockey players with injuries, along with the pre- and postnatal community. With enough family members to fill a small town, I’m surrounded by births, and I have my pulse on the many challenges that new moms struggle with. My passion for supporting expecting and new mothers has driven many of my additional training courses in pregnancy, labour and delivery alongside my pelvic floor physiotherapy training.

Whether my patient is an expecting mother, an athlete, or someone just trying to feel better and achieve their goals, my mission is to be their biggest supporter.

Abigayl Tate is a dedicated Registered Massage Therapist, who graduated with Honors from TriOS College for Massage Therapy. During her clinical studies, she gained invaluable experience treating clients with a diverse range of conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal issues: Upper-back pain, Low-Back pain • Postural Imbalances • Injuries: Sprains, Strains, Ligamentous tears, and more • Neurological issues: Carpal Tunnel, Sciatica, and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome • Systemic issues: Hypertension, Diabetes, and Stroke • Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis • Stress • Mental disorders: Anxiety and Depression • Sleep Disorders • Headaches • Temporomandibular Joint disorder

Abigayl achieved remarkable results with her clients, leaving a positive impact on their well-being. One notable case was a stroke survivor she treated consistently. Under her care, the client experienced significant improvements in mobility, a stark contrast to the limitations he had endured for years. These improvements were further enhanced through prescribed exercises integrated into his routine. The client felt genuinely cared for throughout his treatments with Abigayl. He had never experienced such care and compassion in his treatment after attending many other clinics and seeing many other practitioners.

Another client, dealing with muscular tears, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome, found relief from pain and discomfort thanks to Abigayl’s expertise. Her musculoskeletal issues were effectively managed, and her neurological symptoms, including pain, numbness, and tingling from carpal tunnel syndrome, were significantly reduced. Abigayl’s treatments also led to a substantial decrease in inflammation caused by arthritis, enabling her to rediscover the joys of activities she had once loved. This client expressed profound gratitude for the transformative care provided by Abigayl.

Abigayl firmly believes in the body’s innate healing mechanisms and the potential for positive change with just a little assistance. Her passion lies in witnessing the transformation of her clients and providing them with the utmost care and dedication. Abigayl offers therapeutic massage, deep-tissue massage, trigger point therapy and much more. She eagerly anticipates the opportunity to help you not only relax but to find real relief from pain.

Erica is a recent graduate of the University of Western Ontario’s Master of Physical Therapy Program. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Queen’s University, while concurrently completing the Athletic Therapy Mini-Stream program and the Smith Certificate in Business.

Erica’s decision to choose a career in physiotherapy stems from personal experiences that exposed her to the world of physiotherapy. From a very young age, she played many sports, including Provincial level soccer and Regional level ringette, which often required her to see physiotherapists for a wide range of injuries. In 2017, she endured a major ACL injury and as a result, spent countless hours with physiotherapists and other health professionals who aided in her rehabilitation. As Erica ­­experienced first-hand how her physiotherapy team was able to get her back onto the playing fields, both physically and emotionally, she was inspired to do the same for others.

Erica is excited by the opportunity to help individuals of all ages and abilities, to develop, maintain, or augment their physical function in order to maximize their independence and stimulate health. She is committed to utilizing her knowledge, experience, and continued learning to focus her career on improving the health, physical function, and quality of life of others.

In her spare time, Erica enjoys travelling, playing sports and working out, and spending time with friends and family.
