About Anna
With patience, extensive knowledge, and true love of her craft, Anna loves to share her enthusiasm for healthy living and fitness with her clients to encourage their recovery.
Anna brings her passion to work where she seeks to educate and inspire her clients to make lasting changes in their lives and achieve their goals.
Tailored treatment
Anna believes that every injury and dysfunction is unique, and every patient responds differently to treatment. She takes care to provide a tailored approach to each of her patients, where their own experiences, abilities, and goals are incorporated in order that they achieve the best possible outcomes.
Anna believes that rehabilitation is a team effort. She prides herself on taking the time with her patients to ensure they fully understand their injury and treatment plan.
Special interests
Anna particularly enjoys working with children and teens. Carpal tunnel and other tendonitis-type injuries are right up her alley, and she has a special interest in treating clients suffering from whiplash and other injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents.
With a strong clinical and research background in neurological conditions, Anna also enjoys working with high-functioning clients dealing with deficits from Stroke, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis or other neurological conditions.
Anna loves her work, but when she is not at the clinic you can find her lifting weights at one of local gyms, trying Ashtanga yoga, or enjoying the outdoors with her daughter.
“Always a friendly and efficient check in. Anna is very thorough and works with you the entire time. She is a wealth of information regarding your injuries. I have been to many physiotherapists and I highly recommend Anna for being one of the best in this industry.”
