Kimberly Brandle

I joined the team at Concept Physio in December 2009. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Victoria and completed my Masters of Science degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta. I joined Dawn as a partner in clinic ownership in 2013. I enjoy working with a variety of people and carry a caseload from kids to seniors. My treatment focuses on manual therapy (i.e. hands on) techniques supplemented with comprehensive exercise programs in order for clients to return to everyday activities, work and/or recreational activities pain free. You will also be provided with the tools to prevent future problems. I have completed extensive training in ConnectTherapyTM. This assessment and treatment model is revolutionizing the way we look at, and treat you as a whole person. Where does your pain and dysfunction really come from?? A lot of people have multiple issues (i.e. the right shoulder and left knee) that seem unrelated or have issues that always come back. That's where I come in. We just need to look close enough and we can find out HOW these areas can be impacting each other and WHY these things always seem to come back. I can teach you new strategies to fix up current problems, as well as prevent future ones. I have completed a number of other courses including Level I and Level II of the Orthopedic Division's Diploma of Advanced Manual & Manipulative Therapy courses, Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement, neck and shoulder courses as well as a Movement Impairment Syndromes. I have been certified to do acupuncture through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada. Acupuncture is a great adjunct to the manual therapy and can help manage pain as well as promote healing. Pre kids (ha ha!) I was involved in community sports throughout the year and have a well rounded knowledge (and personal experience!) with mechanisms of injuries. I understand the physical and mental pain that an injury can cause when it is keeping you away from what you love doing and can show you how a proper rehab program can lead to a speedy recovery and get you moving again!
