“Joining the team in July 2024!”
Lara graduated from the University of Alberta with a Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy. Prior to this, she completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science. Lara is certified in Functional Dry Needling and has pursued post-graduate training in acupuncture, manual therapy, sports rehabilitation, the SFMA, and diagnostic imaging.
Lara loves working with people of all walks of life, and her goal is to help her patients move better, feel better, and return to doing the things that they love. As someone who has always been involved in sports and valued an active lifestyle, Lara understands how frustrating it can be to deal with injuries that affect training goals and day-to-day life. Lara loves to help people find fun ways to incorporate activity into their lives, achieve their goals, and prevent future injury.
In her spare time, Lara can be spotted on one of her (many!) bikes, jogging on the trails, or just hanging out outside!
