Hello, my name is Caitlin. I graduated with a Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy from Camosun College in 2016. My education included in-depth courses in anatomy, exercise physiology, taping and emergency care, as well as a thorough understanding of orthopaedic assessment for injury rehabilitation and exercise prescription.

I love working one-on-one in the clinic, and I was also trained in on-field injury assessment and emergency care as a First Responder. These skills allow me to work with a wide range of clients—from Olympic-level athletes on the field or in the clinic, to industrial athletes on construction sites, to individuals who spend most of their day at a desk.

During my 1,200 hours of in-school practical experience, I had the pleasure of working with varsity, university, Olympic, and Paralympic athletes from a variety of sports. These included rowers, dancers, rock climbers, mountain bikers, equestrians, and weekend warriors. Every treatment is tailored to the individual and their unique needs. An athletic therapy session may include muscle energy techniques, massage, and joint mobilizations.

Throughout the summer, I work at show jumping competitions in Victoria and Vancouver, treating equestrian athletes. I grew up playing sports, and being active has always been my happy place. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me on the trails running or hiking, or out trying a new sport. Maintaining a balance between work and physical activity is an important value of mine, and I’m excited to help you return to your own work/play balance.
