THE FIZZIO COACH

Heather is an experienced and seasoned registered physiotherapist and health care leader/mentor. She believes that the client/patient and their loved ones are at the centre of the healing team. She believes that it is of utmost importance to listen to the needs of the healing person and to have a solid understanding of their goals and values as a foundation to a comprehensive treatment plan.

Heather works with and refers to a wide range of other health facilitators including (but not limited to): occupational therapy, other physiotherapists with specific skill sets, personal trainers, psychologists and psychotherapists, massage therapists, their family physician/specialist, and others. This allows only the absolute amount of care required to facilitate your recovery and keep treatment affordable.

As a result of experiencing a myriad of injuries and health challenges herself, Heather meets you with empathy and a deeper knowledge of what it means to face barriers to best health.

Heather looks forward to meeting you virtually or in person to discuss your health care needs!

Heather coaches, empowers and mentors each individual patient in a unique way through a variety of treatment techniques including:

1. Detailed physiotherapy assessment and recommendations to meet your goals; in-person and/or virtual provision
2. Physiotherapy intervention – activity prescription, education regarding the nature of your challenges and options to address in day-to-day life, brace/walking aid suggestions, referral to the best hands-on therapist for your needs in your local area and more.
3. Health coaching including nutrition mgmt (may not be covered under physiotherapy scope of practice – billed separately with HST added)
4. Mentoring – new grads, health care practitioners needing career direction, internationally trained PTs, clinic owners at any stage of growth from startup to succession
