Andrea has been a dedicated part of the health and wellness of the Dartmouth community for over 25 years, working in private practice physiotherapy here since 1998. With a deep understanding of how your body works and a strong grasp of latest advances in clinical practice, Andrea works closely with each patient to find the root of a dysfunction. She creates tailored care plans to manage symptoms, fix problems and prevent recurrence. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, returning to work or aiming to excel in your sport, Andrea is committed to helping you set and achieve your goals.
Andrea earned her Physiotherapy degree from Dalhousie University and went on to achieve a Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy and then a Master of Clinical Science (Manipulative Therapy) from Western University in Ontario. She has continued to grow her skills through continuing education, professional collaboration and holding both leadership and Instructor/ Examiner roles at a national level. This experience has equipped Andrea with a comprehensive toolbox for assessing and treating a wide range of conditions. Above all, Andrea believes that listening and understanding your concerns and goals is the most important part of your time together.
Outside the clinic, Andrea enjoys being outdoors. She stays active with snowboarding, golf, running, and the gym as well as spending time with her dog and family – and is looking forward to picking up pickleball in the near future.
