About Tyler

Pursuing a passion for all things sport and movement took me to the University of Alberta where I graduated with a Bachelor of Kinesiology, majoring in Sports Performance. Throughout my degree, I took a keen interest in injury management and injury prevention, leading me to a career where I can help people recover from injuries and return to activities at the same or higher level than before.

I spent the last year of my degree working as the student kinesiologist with the University of Alberta Golden Bears hockey team, and I’ve been lucky to have coached a variety of different levels in hockey from youth up to junior levels.

Growing up, I played a variety of different sports. My athletics mainly focused on baseball and hockey since I was 5, but I took up football in high school and recently have been focusing on golf and my general fitness goals. Although I am not competing at a high level anymore, I still enjoy getting out and being active, which I hope to share with others around me.

About Kat

I was born and raised in Sherwood Park, AB where I grew up playing soccer competitively. During my time as a competitive soccer player, I went through 3 major knee injuries where the Bridge quickly became my second home. During all the hours spent at the clinic I realized I wanted to be a part of this community long-term and help individuals get back to what they love.

I quickly grew to appreciate and love the collaborative environment and community centred space at the clinic which ultimately helped shape my idea of what kind of practitioner I wanted to be.

Knowing this, I attended the University of Lethbridge for a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. While attending the UofL, I played on the Pronghorns soccer team for 3 years and then after retiring took on a coaching position for a year before returning home.

From patient to staff member, I worked at the Bridge for 4 years as both a physiotherapist aide and a receptionist. Now as a Strength & Conditioning Coach I am able to utilize my experience to help educate young athletes about injury prevention and demonstrate how using a proactive approach to our health creates long-term benefits.

My passion for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and strength and conditioning, is clearly demonstrated while connecting with my clients regardless of their ages, abilities, or background in physical activity.

My philosophy of continuing education allows me to further my knowledge in order to provide the best care for my clients.

When I’m not in the clinic you can find me hiking, hitting up a new local business or brewing a fresh cup of coffee.

About Seth

I was born and raised in Sherwood Park and after working through a hip surgery rehabilitation at The Bridge, became accepted to the Master of Science in Physical Therapy program at the U of A in 2021.

My treatment style is informed from my own time as both a patient and athlete. I place a strong emphasis on education and self-autonomy paired with exercise and movement as I think it’s extremely important for you to understand how to manage your injuries or pain when you’re not in the clinic. This way, we can make a long-term impact on both your rehabilitation and future performance in whatever is meaningful to you, whether that’s competing in high level sport or just trying to get back to feeling and moving a bit better day-to-day. Up-to-date, evidence-based care is something I value highly with my patients and I enjoy collaborating with them to ensure they understand and participate in the treatment choices we make together.

Other than being a physio, I am a BIG movie guy and love the climbing gym. You can find me making obscure quotes at The Garneau Theatre or projecting something way out of my league at Rock Jungle or Factory in my off time.

About Paitynn

I have always had a strong passion for the human body and movement. I was a dedicated competitive dancer throughout my schooling years, and my personal struggles with numerous injuries helped me to discover the role of massage therapy in assisting athletes in their return to performance.

Having graduated from MacEwan University’s comprehensive 2200-hour program, I was recently honored with the prestigious Gold Award by the Massage Therapy Association, in recognition of my work in the field.

In my spare time you can find me in the outdoors. Whether it be hiking, camping, skiing, or simply spending quality time with my dogs, you’re most likely to find me in nature during my downtime.

About Katherine

I graduated from the University of Alberta with my MSc in Physical Therapy after completing my BSc in Kinesiology at Queen’s University. I grew up a competitive dancer and throughout my education I worked as a trainer with varsity basketball and rugby teams inspiring me to pursue a career in physiotherapy.

My treatment style places an emphasis on education and exercise, complemented by manual therapy. When treating I use a patient-centered, collaborative approach to ensure each treatment plan is specific to the individual. I want to support and empower my patients through their recovery to help them achieve their goals.

Outside of the clinic I work with the Edmonton Pandas U18 AAA hockey team and teach the occasional dance class back in my hometown of Calgary. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, dancing, and going on adventures.

About Jamie

I was raised in the Edmonton area, where I grew up in the world of artistic sports, including gymnastics, dance, and competitive cheerleading—a sport that I dedicated 15 years of my life to. Over the years, I’ve competed in six world championships and have had the privilege of coaching young athletes across various levels.

This exposure to high-intensity sports sparked my passion for injury prevention and rehabilitation, leading me to earn a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree, majoring in Sports Performance, and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta.

I’m passionate about getting you back to whatever it is that moves you. I value making my patients the priority. In my practice, I place great emphasis on one-on-one time, approaching each case through a patient-centered, evidence-based lens. I strongly believe education and movement create the pillars of our practice, and that rehab should be both fun and functional.

When I’m not working, you can often find me hiking up a mountain or skiing down one, exploring the river valley, or enjoying a Harry Potter movie. I will forever be on the hunt for the best cup of coffee or ice cream cone – new recommendations welcome at any time.

About Taylor

Born and raised in Sherwood Park, I was heavily involved in competitive soccer. Throughout my soccer career, I sustained several injuries which introduced me to the world of sport science and rehabilitation.

I graduated with distinction from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree in 2016. After graduating I worked as a kinesiologist, learning from and working closely with chiropractors and it was through that mentorship that my passion for chiropractic began.

I attended the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon graduating summa cum laude in 2020 with both my Doctor of Chiropractic degree as well as a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology degree. During my time at UWS, I learned a variety of treatment technique including chiropractic manipulation/mobilization, soft tissue mobilization and exercise prescription.

Since graduating, I have expanded my knowledge and treatment techniques through continuing education courses such as Active Release Technique (ART), instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), cupping and various RockTape courses. I consider myself a life-long learner and am eager to advance and improve my knowledge and skills to maintain a practice that is patient centred and evidence based. I enjoy working collaboratively with both my patients and other providers to help them achieve their goals.

Outside of the clinic I enjoy hiking/snowshoeing in the mountains, cooking and sampling all the local eats, hanging out with my animals and participating in local community sport leagues.

About Trevor

My journey to becoming a physical therapist began at the University of Lethbridge where I obtained a baccalaureate degree in Exercise Science. Shortly afterwards I went on to obtain my Certified Exercise Physiologist certificate from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology.

This certificate allowed me to work with various populations including athletes and non-athletes to provide exercise testing, programming, and lifestyle education.

For several years I worked with individuals afflicted by a variety of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and age-related conditions. During this time, I was also fortunate enough to gain experience working with both able-bodied and parasport athletes.

My curiosity and drive for further education led me to pursue a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary. My research explored the effects of aerobic exercise testing on the provocation and cessation of symptoms in individuals who had sustained a sport-related concussion.

I was also heavily involved in exercise testing and programming for many studies conducted through the Sport Injury Research Prevention Centre. The pursuit of a graduate degree allowed me to witness the incredible effects that a physiotherapist can have on individuals dealing with sport-related injuries. After graduating from the University of Calgary, I gained acceptance into the Physical Therapy program at the University of Alberta.

I grew up playing various sports and have sustained my fair share of injuries throughout. I can understand firsthand the impact that injuries can have on a person’s well-being and livelihood. I am a strong believer that exercise is medicine, and that it can be used to empower individuals recovering from injury and those looking to optimize their performance.

Whatever your health and fitness goals may be, I look forward to helping you work towards them using a collaborative, and patient-centred approach. When I am not in the clinic you can find me bouldering, golfing and practicing hot yoga.

About Emma

I completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2021 at the University of Regina and my Masters of Physical Therapy in 2023 from the University of Saskatchewan. I had the privilege of playing varsity volleyball for both the Cougar and Huskies Women’s Volleyball teams during my respective time at each university. My interest in physical therapy began as a young athlete as I was receiving treatment for my own injuries. Throughout my time as a student athlete studying kinesiology, this interest grew and I also discovered my passion for strength and conditioning. During my final year of my kinesiology degree I was a member of the strength and conditioning team at the University of Regina, training the varsity football and basketball teams before going on to pursue my education in physical therapy.

I am passionate about helping people return to the activities they love and achieve their fitness and performance goals by using a client-centered, collaborative, and active treatment approach. I believe in using education, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise to empower individuals in achieving full function in sport and daily life.

Outside of the clinic you can find me at the gym, playing volleyball and tennis, skiing, hiking, playing the piano, and spending time with family and friends

About Becca

I graduated from Trinity Western University in 2010 with a Bachelors Degree in Human Kinetics. While studying at TWU I played varsity soccer for five seasons and was selected to represent Canada at the FISU Games in Serbia. After graduating, I worked as a speed and conditioning coach in Calgary, then moved to Edmonton and continued to grow my passions for injury prevention and performance training at The Bridge. I have recently obtained my Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist certification from the NCSA.

I enjoy the challenge of fostering athletic excellence across a multitude of disciplines, ages, and abilities. It is important that everybody learns to move well and have the opportunity to discover their optimum performance level. When not at the clinic I still enjoy playing soccer, spin classes, and chasing adventure with my little family.

About Kevin

I graduated from the University of Alberta’s Physiotherapy program in 2001 after completing a Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to working for The Bridge, I have lived and worked for clinics in New York City and Toronto. I completed my Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2010.

In addition to working in the clinic, teaching manual therapy and exercise courses to other physiotherapists is a passion of mine. I am an instructor with the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Assocation, and with New York-based Hands On Seminars. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach therapists in Canada, the U.S, South Africa, Turkey and India.

For me the keys to successful injury and pain recovery are integrating the appropriate manual therapy techniques with appropriate strengthening, movement and education. Finding the movement or muscle imbalance issues are critical to achieving lasting pain free function.

During my non-work time I enjoy being with my young family, traveling and staying active with strength training, running, soccer and volleyball. I’m still holding on to the dream of another Oilers Stanley Cup Championship in my lifetime.

About Jared

Being passionate about strength training and injury prevention lead me to graduate from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. I spent my degree focusing on injury management, strength, and conditioning, as well as anatomy and biomechanics to further deepen my understanding of the human body. During my undergrad, I was able to spend time with The Bridge family; learning their model for injury management and return to sport. Currently, I am continuing my education by studying to become a certified strength and conditioning specialist with the NSCA.

Growing up in Sherwood Park I was always involved in community sports. Most of my childhood was spent playing soccer, eventually being able to play tier 1 for 5 years with Southwest United and finishing second in provincials. In university, my focus shifted to clinical performance as I participated in concussion testing as well as a VO2max and respiratory performance study.

My desire to help others achieve their goals and improve their quality of life is what motivates me to excel at what I do. Whether it be fixing a muscle imbalance, improving biomechanics, or simply improving athletic ability, my aim is to help everyone reach their potential. .

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a background in Human Ecology from the University of Alberta. I specialize in working with athletes, men’s mental health, return to sport after injury, and exploring how movement impacts our wellbeing.

It is impossible to separate the mind, body, and soul, so I use a very holistic approach when working with clients. Exploring attachment, emotional experiences, thoughts, beliefs, and our relationship to self and others, is key to finding true healing, and meaningful growth.

I was a mediocre soccer player in high school and quickly realized that what I really wanted to do, was run. I love to run ultramarathons in beautiful places. I am especially fascinated by the mental component of endurance sports, and how lessons learned in sport, translate perfectly into lessons learned in life.

About Joey

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, and graduated from the University of Alberta in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with distinction). In 2019, I was accepted into the Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy program at the U of A.

Throughout high school I played competitive soccer, and it was here that I was exposed to the field of physical therapy through recurrent knee and ankle injuries. While I continued to play recreational soccer throughout my years of university, it was in my fourth year that I began weight training. This has since become a passion of mine, and further drove my interest in exercise, rehabilitation, and performance.

My treatment style reflects this passion by combining exercise with education and manual therapy to achieve optimal outcomes in rehabilitation and injury prevention. I aim to help my patients go beyond their baseline and improve their performance in the activities that are important to them. I enjoy working as a team with my patients, taking a collaborative approach and encouraging an active role in the rehabilitation journey.

Outside of the clinic, you can find me hitting the weights at the gym, hiking up or snowboarding down a mountain, climbing at the bouldering gym, or hanging out with friends!

About Cassandra

I have always been fascinated by the human body and how it operates. This curiosity along with the drive to provide a service that helps people feel their best is what initially landed me in the massage therapy program.

After graduating from a 2200 hour RMT program at Trillium College in Ontario, I made the big move out to Alberta and never looked back.

I have a passion for providing quality treatments that are individually customized to my clients needs, whether that be relaxation and relief of soft tissue pain, stress relief, or helping to improve sports performance, muscle recovery & injuries.

My goal for each treatment is for you to leave the treatment room feeling better than when you walked in. I aim to decrease pain, tension and stress while promoting relaxation and increased range of motion.

I also strongly believe that self care is the key to maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle and hope that my treatments will aid you achieving that.

I opened Sherwood Park Sports Physiotherapy in 1985 with a vision to have a multidisciplinary Sports Medicine Centre to treat athletic injuries in Sherwood Park. In 2000, the vision grew as the clinic moved to Millennium Place and expanded to include a full team of rehab and fitness specialists. In 2015, we took a further step by opening The Bridge, a centre that not only provides treatments but also full movement and return to sport training. In 2018, we were proud to add The Bridge South Edmonton in collaboration with Spark Sport Conditioning and in 2021, The Bridge Lethbridge brining the vision to Lethbridge and southern Alberta.

I believe our success has been rooted in our desire to think differently. To challenge the norm and always push to bring the best professionals and treatment methods to our clients.

We believe everyone deserves to live their best healthy lives and we do whatever is necessary to help people back to the sports and activities they love.

About Ayrie

I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Kinesiology with Distinction and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy.

I believe in using an evidence-based and active treatment approach, with education, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapy comprising my treatment style.

I aim to work collaboratively and personalize my treatment plan to help my patients achieve their goals and get back to doing the activities they enjoy the most.

Born and raised in Edmonton, I was a competitive gymnast for many years. With that came several injuries and frequent visits to physiotherapy. I developed an appreciation for physiotherapy and understand the importance of not only helping patients return to their pre-injury level but also preventing re-injury and further injuries from occurring.

I look forward to helping and empowering you to achieve all your health and fitness goals. Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, golfing, tennis, watching Sunday football, and spending time with family, friends, and my two dogs, Skyy and Remy.

About Jeremy

My interest in human performance and injury rehabilitation started throughout my time playing basketball at Grande Prairie Regional College.

After my time playing college basketball, I moved to Edmonton to finish my degree at the University of Alberta, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Kinesiology (Sport Performance) in 2022.

I was drawn to a profession where I could help people achieve their health and performance goals, or return to the activities that they love after an injury. I furthered my professional development and education by becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

I’ve been fortunate enough to coach competitive athletes from sports teams and academies in the Edmonton area. I’ve worked as an assistant strength coach for U of A women’s basketball and men’s volleyball teams, and as one of the lead strength coaches for the Western Canada Prep Academy (WCPA) men’s basketball program.

I enjoy working collaboratively with each client to design a personalized program that suits the demands of their lifestyle and sporting activities. I aim to provide each of my clients with a safe, effective, and enjoyable experience in pursuit of their performance and/or rehabilitation goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, olympic weightlifting, and going camping with friends and family.

About Nico

Hi I’m Nico! I believe physiotherapy is about reintroducing optimal movement in people’s lives. The many tools in my belt allow me to guide clients along their rehabilitation journey, working with them to manage pain and create a more resilient, adaptable body. Before obtaining my Master’s Degree in physiotherapy, I completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Science in Kinesiology at the University of Alberta. During my time in the faculty of Kinesiology, I had the opportunity to work with Golden Bears Athletics, spending seasons managing injuries for the Golden Bears Volleyball and Hockey teams. I also have rehab experience with FC Edmonton and the Edmonton Stingers, giving me a wide understanding of sporting injuries.

But if you ask me, I don’t think you need to be an elite athlete to receive elite-level care. I’m looking to be there for anyone who feels they need it by taking my skills in biomechanics and adapting them to help people with the little things; walking your dog, reaching the top shelf, or sometimes just getting through your day. Let’s work together and create your comeback.

About Justin

I grew up primarily competing in martial arts, where I invested over 15 years of my life into training and coaching athletes. Nowadays I focus my efforts in the strength and conditioning realm with a special interest in strength sports such as Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting.

My experience in sport, or more accurately my experience with sport injuries and different clinicians, always left me wanting more. Hence, I attended the Kinesiology program at the University of Alberta and eventually, University of Western States down in Portland Oregon. At UWS I was able to successfully complete both my Doctor of Chiropractic and my Masters of Sports Medicine, graduating summa cum laude.

I aim to combine the manual techniques I’ve acquired through my education and the coaching experience I have, to create a unique and individualized treatment plan for my patients. That being said, I strongly believe that one of the best ways to recovery is patient empowerment through movement and I encourage all my patients to get active.
