Tessa has a Bachelor of Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. During her studies she
had experiences working with the Varsity Women’s Volleyball team, providing injury bracing
services at an orthopedic store and an internship at a pediatric physiotherapy clinic.
She then went on to complete her Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at Queen’s University in 2024.
Through her multiple clinical placements she had exposure to treating individuals of all
ages and stages from infants to older adults. Some highlights include a placement in a chronic
pain clinic, a Children’s Treatment Centre in Northern Ontario and a sports injury clinic.
During school, Tessa volunteered in various ways including as a mentor for 1st year students,
as a research assistant investigating motor learning concepts in physiotherapy and on
committees such as the Pediatric Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
Her personal experience of being both a competitive dancer and a track athlete growing up
meant that she was no stranger to injuries.
In her clinical practice, Tessa embodies a client lead approach where she believes in
collaboration to determine goals of care. She uses an active approach including education and
exercise to help people get back to doing the things they love.
Tessa uses an evidence based approach and is always seeking out new information to inform
her practice. She is looking forward to taking continuing education courses in the near future.
When not in the clinic, you can find Tessa enjoying different forms of physical activity, reading a
good book, spending time with friends/family and volunteering in the community.
