A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by an impact to the head, neck, or elsewhere on the body that transmits forces to the brain. This results in a biochemical imbalance and energy crisis in the brain resulting in a varied clinical presentation. During the energy crisis recovery time, the brain remains vulnerable to reinjury so it is extremely important to plan a safe return to sport, play, or work. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, cognitive and behavioural changes, balance impairment, neck pain, and more. Physiotherapy treatment for concussion involves baseline and post concussion testing to determine safe return to activity, manual therapy, and various exercise strategies to ensure a full and safe recovery.

Steph was born and raised in London, ON, where she began her Osteopathic career. She has always enjoyed being a part of a team and grew up playing sports. Throughout her graduate studies, she began coaching group fitness classes where she has been able to apply her understanding of anatomy and mechanics to her workouts and onto the table with her patients. She combines her love for exercise and science to provide a holistic approach to patient care.

Steph began her post-secondary schooling at Miami University in Oxford, OH where she graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in nutrition. Following her undergraduate studies, she completed another four-year degree at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton, ON. She graduated with her Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Science in 2020. Upon graduation, she opened a practice in Ontario and since has moved to call Calgary home!

During Osteo treatments, Steph targets the nervous system to help calm the body. By calming down the nervous system the body can collectively function, both mechanically and physiologically, to create a better balance from the inside out. Her goal is to remove any compensations caused by new or old injuries, habitual postures and stressors, with the entire body in mind. 

When Steph is not treating patients, she loves taking her dog Leonard on walks, F45 training/weight training at the gym, travelling, cooking/trying new healthy-ish recipes, and trying new restaurants.

Currently NOT Accepting New Patients.

I am the founder and owner of Northern Hills Sport Physiotherapy on Country Hills Blvd. I was initially interested in Physiotherapy, like a lot of other PT’s, after being treated for several injuries as a younger adult. The profession enticed me with the work environment. I found PT clinics to be a laid back environment to work in and an environment where the therapists were faced with a variety of challenging issues to deal with thus continuing to keep them on their toes and not allowing them to get bored with working on the same thing over and over. 19 years into my career I have found that I really enjoy my job, the social interaction, and being able to help individuals has been an added bonus.

I was trained in my hometown of Saskatoon at the U of S, yes I bleed green (Go Riders!!!) and furthered my skills with manual courses including being a Manipulative Therapist. I am a certified Gunn IntraMuscular Stimulation (IMS) Practitioner, which has been a huge asset to my practice. I emphasize client input to their rehab and educate them on anatomy, injury pathology, home programs, and ergonomics with regards to not only work but home and recreational activities. I find that the more involved a client is with their own rehab, the better they do in achieving and maintaining optimal health. In the end, it all adds up to being able to do what you love and being pain-free doing it, thus allowing you to enjoy it as much as possible.

I think this is my goal. I love work but I love to play even more. Mostly that is being able to hike, wakeboard, snowboard, mountain, motor and road bike, play hockey and horseplay at a level that my kids are pushing me to. As they get older I find that my years of being able to beat them at everything is limited and I plan on giving them a run for their money for years to come. As a result, my own rehab and maintenance are important and I practice what I preach for the most part and so far so good. So bring it on Joey, Ellie, and Sammy!

Owning a clinic has been a great challenge for me in the past 16 years. Business has been something that I have learned on the go and I have found that the saying, ‘you are only as good as your weakest link’ holds true. I know that Northern Hills Physiotherapy has been a great place for patients, and workers alike due to my success in staffing. I pride myself in this aspect and put a lot of emphases on whom I hire to ensure a great work environment and a great place for people to receive treatment. I hire high-level therapists, with personalities that fit our professional, relaxed and productive atmosphere. This has resulted in a culture that people like to work in and where clients get results!

As a graduate of the MScPT program from the University of Alberta, I have been fortunate to have surrounded myself with many amazing Health Care Practitioners and continue to do so amongst the amazing team of professionals at FixPhysio.

At FixPhysio, the line between lifestyle and career has become a blur as my passion for physiotherapy stems from a combination of wellness-fed hobbies and a strong desire to help others achieve their best. I have worn many hats- from being a group fitness instructor to a lifeguard, to a dance teacher, to conducting concussion-related tests on hockey players. I believe in evidence-based practice and that by being part of the research community, I am able to remain up to date on the newest treatment techniques and principles.

I have always been involved in team activities, and that is how I choose to base your treatment. We become a team. You share your background and your rehabilitation goals and I share my knowledge. Together, we progress you back to the activities that you enjoy. This creativity and teamwork within individualized treatment plans is a key principle to success. My background as a competitive dancer has enabled me to effectively ‘choreograph’ your treatment plan to best suit your needs and your unique lifestyle.

I enjoy treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries, vestibular conditions and am a Certified Complete Concussion Management Provider. Outside of the physio clinic, I enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and taking every opportunity to enjoy nature’s beauty. I find that running helps to clear my mind, and dancing makes my heart sing. My hope is that through treatment of your injury/condition, together we can get you back to what you love to do as well. I look forward to learning more about you!
