Cathy graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2000 and then completed a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy degree from the University of Toronto in 2003. Since that time, she has worked in a private practice setting at Orion Health – Vancouver where she is part of an interdisciplinary pain management team. She remains the senior physiotherapist at Orion Health and works with other health care professionals to empower patients with complex chronic pain issues to learn to better manage their symptoms, thereby improving their quality of life. In conjunction to her experience in chronic pain, Cathy has also been working with a more acute population of patients where she enjoys combining education, manual therapy, and exercise prescription as part of her treatment. Cathy obtained her certification for Acupuncture through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute in 2005 (CAFCI). She remains keen to continue her own ongoing education in the field of physical therapy and is looking forward to future courses.
