Meet Cathy!

Growing up as a competitive dancer, Cathy knew she was flexible but she didn’t think about it other than trying to get deeper splits and better lines. In her first week of university, she got in a car accident that changed her life. She stopped dancing and developed chronic low back pain and a concussion. It was through these injuries that Cathy started her journey with physiotherapy and learning more about hypermobility.

Cathy works with active hypermobile individuals who may not be dancing or doing gymnastics anymore, but they still want to live an active lifestyle without chronic injuries and pain. Whether it’s enhancing your performance in your hobby, having a pain-free pregnancy, or feeling strong again postpartum, Cathy can help you feel strong in your hypermobile body again.
