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 Lisa
I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Masters of Science in Physical Therapy. Throughout my schooling, I worked at Sherwood Park Sports Physiotherapy as a physiotherapy assistant, which enabled me to gain work experience, apply knowledge, as well as reinforce my desire to become a Physiotherapist.
I understand that the health industry is ever changing, and as such, I continue to supplement my university education with additional courses. I am certified through Complete Concussion Management to treat and manage concussions and recently completed my Dry Needling certification. In my undergrad, I worked as a Certified Personal Trainer through CSEP, which gave me the opportunity to work with the Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos doing fitness testing. I’ve also spent many hours working and volunteering for other organizations such as the Running Room, the Steadward Centre, and Special Olympics Alberta.
I grew up doing competitive gymnastics, and while at university played for various recreational sports teams. In my spare time, I enjoy being active both indoors and outdoors and am always looking for the next adventure. I carry my passion for health, activity, and sport into my work – I believe with the right combination of education, rehab and determination, everybody can achieve a healthy lifestyle and return to doing the activities they love most.

About Natalie
I graduated from MacEwan University’s 2200-hour Massage Therapy Program. While attending school I worked as a receptionist and student massage therapist at The Bridge. This helped me appreciate the collaborative nature of The Bridge team, in addition to helping me connect with the community
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.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family, attending yoga classes or going for walks in the river valley.
I really enjoy working alongside our physiotherapists in order to help individuals return to doing what they love the most. I am excited to be in a position where I can help others overcome these challenges as well as provide some stress relief from day-to-day life!

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 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 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 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 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.
