About me

Krista graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 2011 with a Masters of Physiotherapy degree. Prior to this, she completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo. After briefly working in Ontario, she relocated to the beautiful Okanagan to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. She has been working in Kelowna since 2013.

Krista takes a functional approach to treatment. Her assessment includes listening to what is important to each individual,  watching their movement patterns with functional testing and developing a specific treatment plan to help improve body mechanics and maximize the chance of a full recovery. Krista strongly believes that a good home exercise program, properly progressed, is often the key to successful healing.

During her free time, you can find Krista mountain biking on Knox, paddling on Okanagan lake, snowboarding at Big White, or simply lounging with a good book and a cup of tea.
