orn and raised in Vancouver, Amanda attended the University
of British Columbia and completed a Bachelor of Human
Kinetics degree in Kinesiology and Health Science. After
completing her degree, Amanda worked as a kinesiologist
before deciding to continue on to do her Masters degree in
Physical Therapy, which she completed at Queens
University.
Since graduating, Amanda has become certified in advanced
manual therapy, intra- muscular stimulation (IMS), soft
tissue release as well as vestibular and concussion
rehabilitation. In the community, Amanda is the lead
physiotherapist with the over six hundred Vancouver All
Stars athletes, and does consulting work for Barre Fitness
at their various locations.
Coming from an athletic background as a former competitive
dancer and Team Canada cheerleader, Amanda finds it very
exciting to work with athletes of similar
backgrounds.
As she is no longer competing, Amanda has branched off to
other forms of physical activity to maintain an active
lifestyle. She enjoys weight training, running
half marathons, practicing yoga and has recently started the
transition from spinning to road biking. During her time
off, Amanda is an avid traveler. Day to day hobbies
anything active, but she also enjoys cooking, baking and
visiting any of Vancouver’s culinary hot spots.
Becoming a physiotherapist was a natural choice for Amanda
due to the fields’ emphasis on empowering clients to take
the lead in their rehabilitation. She truly believes that
by giving clients the tools required, they can work together
on meeting rehabilitation goals and prevent future injuries.
