After owning and growing her own clinic for 12 years, Cheryl decided to sell her business and move back to the Annapolis Valley.

Cheryl has continued to complete courses to further her orthopedic and manual therapy skills, including acupuncture, taping, diagnosis and treatment of movement dysfunction, core stability and gait analysis courses. Cheryl's approach to physiotherapy is individualized to her patients. Her assessments focus on identifying the underlying cause and contributing factors of her patient's injury or condition. Cheryl uses a combination of exercise, manual therapy and education in her treatments to improve recovery and help prevent future injury.
