Dana is excited to be joining the team at CONNECT!

 

She completed her undergraduate science degree in Human Kinetics at the University of Guelph, pursued a Masters Degree in Physiotherapy at University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Working as a physiotherapist for the last 17 years, she has experience with a variety of different conditions, injuries, post-operative conditions, and all age ranges.  She had worked directly with the University of Guelph and Guelph Marlin’s swim teams, as well as the Petawawa predators U18 girls rugby team.  She has even been lucky enough to see some of those hard working athletes make Olympic teams!

 

Dana believes in a patient centred approach to treatment, focusing on patient goals and helping people to achieve their highest level of functioning through manual therapy, exercise, biomechanical retraining and education. She has taken a variety of different post graduate courses in all areas of physiotherapy, but has studied primarily in the last several years, courses which help people to achieve their running and sports related goals.

 

When Dana is not at the clinic, she enjoys baking, swimming, paddle boarding, downhill and waterskiing, tennis, golfing (badly) and getting outdoors as often as possible with her dog.

 

Dana is currently licensed and registered with the Ontario College of Physiotherapists and is a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association
