About Lindsay
I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with Distinction and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy. I believe in an evidence-based, personalized approach to rehab and strive to continue my education to better serve my patients.
Growing up in Sherwood Park, I was a competitive dancer for many years. After dealing with numerous injuries as a dancer, I developed a strong appreciation for physiotherapy. As a dance instructor with an Advanced II RAD level, I bring a unique perspective to treating and preventing injuries in all athletes.
As a physiotherapist, it is my goal to work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan.
Whether it be getting you back to walking your dog, playing with your grandkids, running a 5K, or getting you en pointe – I look forward to working with you to crush those goals. My active treatment style has an emphasis on therapeutic exercise and education, complemented with manual therapy. I am passionate about empowering people of all ages and abilities to do what they love.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities including skiing, hiking, golfing, and spending time at the lake with my family, friends, and fur-baby Finnegan.

About Haley
After graduating from the 3000-hour Massage Therapy program from Makami College, I have found my place in Sherwood Park Sports Physiotherapy as a Registered Massage Therapist. In my life, I have always looked for a way to connect with and help others. As an RMT, I get the opportunity to do so every day, which leaves me feeling accomplished and fulfilled. Through my own struggle with mental health, self-love, and balance I have become quite passionate about self-care and holistic approaches to healing.
Massage is not only very effective in helping the body heal from injuries, exercise/sports, and the demands and stresses of everyday life, but can also have a significant effect on mental health. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to lift others and help them to feel healthier, happier, and stronger.
I specialize in deep tissue massage but I love to do relaxation, sports, and pre-natal massage as well. The human body interests me greatly and I am excited to continue educating myself of its inner workings

About Alec
A passion for strength and conditioning—and a fascination with how the body adapts and improves through exercise—led me to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology, majoring in Physical Activity and Health. Throughout my degree, I focused on key areas of exercise science, including exercise physiology, biomechanics, and biochemistry, alongside advanced coursework in resistance and endurance training methodologies.
During my undergrad, I had the opportunity to work in exercise physiology lab settings and develop hands-on experience as a physiotherapy assistant. These experiences deepened my understanding of performance and rehab and solidified my passion for helping others through their fitness and recovery journeys.
Exercise has always been a grounding part of my life. It’s helped me through challenging times and reminded me of how resilient and capable both the mind and body can be. My goal is to help others unlock that same strength—whether that’s hitting personal bests in the gym or simply moving pain-free and feeling better day to day.

About Dominique
I was born in Montreal and raised in Calgary which lead me to attend the University of Ottawa to be closer to my extended family, where I completed my Bachelors in Human Kinetics. Shortly after I completed my Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta.
Since graduating I have taken courses with the Orthopaedic division to allow me to safely perform manipulations in practice, along with my certification in dry needling. I believe in a combination of manual therapy with a heavy emphasis on exercise training to facilitate full recovery and prevent re-injury. Every individual and injury is different and I strive to make a personalized treatment plan for my clients to ensure a full recovery.
I grew up playing competitive sports and found my passion for ringette, which I continue to play today. I enjoy being outdoors, running, biking, golfing, and it is my goal to compete in some triathlons in the years to come. During the winter season, I enjoy visiting the mountains for skating and snowboarding.

About Annabelle
I completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. During my Master’s, I worked as an Exercise Specialist for individuals with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions.
I also worked as Strength and Conditioning coach and Athletic Therapist Assistant for youth soccer teams and the United Women’s Soccer team in St. Albert. Having worked with individuals of various abilities, I take a passionate approach to my work and try best to tailor my treatments to suit the goals of each patient.
Anywhere from helping you walk your dog pain-free or returning to the sport you love, I provide evidence-informed treatments with emphasis on education and exercise along with manual therapy in order to help you feel better and achieve the best possible outcomes.
In my spare time, I continue to challenge my body and stay active with running, weight training, and yoga. I love spending time in the mountains with both hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter.
In -40 weather, you’ll find me reading books under a blanket or planning my next trip out of the country.
As an ex-competitive soccer player and current long-distance runner, I have often suffered from injuries that have prevented me from participating in the activities that I enjoy. Being familiar with the frustration of injury, I strive to help others understand their bodies and give them the tools to return to their daily activities and feel confident doing so.

About Toni
As a young, multisport athlete with numerous injuries I was unintentionally drawn to physical therapy. After receiving treatment myself I recognized how this career would easily allow me to combine all of my health related passions.
This led me to begin my post-secondary education in my hometown of Fort McMurray at Keyano College. There, I played volleyball for two years where I gained valuable knowledge around competitive sport and team dynamics. To complete my degree, I transferred to the University of British Columbia – Okanagan campus and graduated with a Bachelor of Human Kinetics. Soon after, I completed the Masters of Physical Therapy program at the University of Alberta.
I use an active treatment approach by incorporating manual therapy with a strong emphasis on exercise prescription. My treatment programs are guided by client goals and are tailored so they can be integrated into daily life and enjoyable.
I strive to have every client reach beyond their pre-injury baseline while providing them with the tools to create resilience to future injury.
Through clinical experience, I have found that a main interest of mine currently lies with sports related injuries. I enjoy working with athletes of all ages, competitive level and sport of choice.
I am also passionate about pelvic health and raising awareness on its importance for many individuals.
In my free time, you’ll find me socializing with friends or family, trying new local restaurants and cafes or doing something active. While I usually like to sweat by lifting weights, I recently ran my first half marathon and this year I plan to start road biking!

About Peter
I completed my Master’s in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta. Prior to that, I earned a Master’s of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Saskatchewan, where I also competed as a pole vaulter with the varsity track and field team. It was during my time as a varsity athlete that I discovered how physiotherapy could help during and after injuries, while also optimizing biomechanics to improve performance.
I bring that same approach to my practice. I aim to help you recover from your injury while ensuring you are moving and performing at your best for your desired activities. Whether you’re an ultimate weekend warrior or hoping to keep up with your grandkids, my approach is to create a partnership where we can decide on the best plan together. My practice incorporates a mix of evidence-guided strength and conditioning principles, education, and manual therapy.
Outside of the clinic, I try to stay active with family adventures, fitting in running, cycling, and Olympic weightlifting.

About Andrea
My journey into physiotherapy began in high school after suffering several injuries as a multisport athlete. Having undergone reconstructive surgery for a knee injury I sustained playing basketball, my rehabilitation journey not only helped me return to the sport I loved but also inspired my passion for helping others recover from injuries. I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Physical Therapy, which solidified my interest in the field. This experience sparked a special interest in treating knees, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support my patients in returning to their favorite activities.
I enjoy the variety that comes with working in both acute care and private practice, where I can combine my clinical expertise with a personalized, evidence-based approach to rehabilitation. My academic background includes research focused on youth recovering from sport-related knee injuries, which has further deepened my understanding of the physical and psychological challenges of injury recovery.
Outside the clinic, I stay active as a group fitness instructor, helping others reach their health and fitness goals. I love hiking, snowboarding, playing volleyball, and strength training. When I’m not moving, you can usually find me exploring Edmonton’s vibrant food scene—whether it’s trying a new restaurant or hunting for the city’s best dessert!
As a physiotherapist, I see myself as a coach, working alongside my patients and collaborating with them to understand their unique goals and challenges. My role is to empower you by providing the support, guidance, and tools necessary for your recovery. Together, we’ll focus on building strength and confidence to get you back to doing what you love most.

About Graham
I initially graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelors of Science, majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry. I found myself working in a fast-paced environment as a research chemist for a pharmaceutical company for a number of years but came to the realization that I wanted to help people in a more direct, face-to-face way. I then returned to the University of Alberta where I completed my Masters in Physical Therapy to pursue this. After graduating, I furthered my education by becoming certified in scoliosis management under the Schroth method of treatment before joining the SPSP team.
Growing up injury prone, I developed an appreciation for what physiotherapy had to offer and how beneficial it could be to keep me involved with the active lifestyle I wanted to maintain. Now getting the opportunity to share these benefits with others and help people achieve their goals, I am constantly reminded how grateful I am for this new direction I’ve found myself in.

About Kristen
Before beginning my career in physiotherapy, I was an athlete competing in both indoor and
beach volleyball, which sparked my interest in sports rehabilitation. I earned a Bachelor of
Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Arts in Human Kinetics, both from the University of
Ottawa, followed by a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals of
various ages, from high performance athletes to those beginning their fitness journey. I
have worked closely with athletes including, volleyball players, WHL officials, and runners,
to help them recover, prevent injuries, and perform at their best.
I have experience working with individuals who have suffered from neurological conditions
such as strokes or brain injuries/concussions, as well as with those who experience jaw
pain. Above all else, I strive to help people of all backgrounds stay active or get active; the
human body was made to move.
Outside of my professional life, I’m deeply committed to living an active lifestyle. Whether
it’s hiking, running, weight training, or mountain biking, I am always looking for ways to
challenge myself physically, and enjoy the outdoors. These activities keep me grounded
and remind me of the incredible benefits of movement, which I bring into my work with
clients every day.
My approach to physiotherapy is simple: I want to empower you to manage your recovery,
move better, feel better, and get back to doing the things you love. Whether you are
recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to improve your fitness,
I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Let’s work together to help you stay active and live your best life!

Growing up, I danced competitively and participated in some track and field events! After healing from injuries myself, I was very interested in the rehabilitation and injury prevention process.
