After having numerous sports-related injuries throughout my life, I understand the
importance of rehabilitation and manual treatment in order to continue living an active lifestyle.
My own experiences with aches, pains, and injuries led me to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in
Athletic Therapy at Sheridan college, graduating in 2023. After completing my degree, I went on
to further my education and develop my manual technique skills by studying massage therapy
at the Ontario College of Health and Technology in 2024.
My approach to treatment involves using a combination of manual and soft tissue
techniques in conjunction with simple stretching and exercise programs. My goal is to assist you
in achieving your own goals, whatever they may be! Along with my strong background in
treating sports and activity related injuries, I also have experience with post-operative
rehabilitation, postural strain injuries, tension headaches, and general relaxation massages.
When I am not working, I am often engaged in one of my many hobbies such as cycling,
hiking, and reading. I love spending time in nature, going for walks with my dog, and being with
friends and family.
As an avid runner and soccer player, Rachel grew up knowing the importance of an effective rehabilitation. It is these experiences that gave Rachel the desire to become a physiotherapist from a young age. Since becoming a physiotherapist, Rachel has taken many post-graduate courses to further her learning in the areas of low back and shoulder rehabilitation, functional stability training for the core, treating headaches and more. Rachel is familiar with treating a wide variety of injuries from athletic injuries and post-operative injuries to injuries that develop as a result of a sedentary job or lifestyle. Most recently, Rachel has taken post graduate courses in running injuries and running assessments. Her philosophy is to involve the patient in their own rehabilitation as much as possible through education and exercise, which compliments her use of manual therapy and soft tissue techniques to help reduce pain and restore function as quickly as possible. Rachel graduated with a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from Queen’s University in 2010 and prior to that from Redeemer University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Honours Kinesiology in 2007. Rachel is registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and is a member of the Canadian and Ontario Physiotherapy Associations.
