When you have an injury, it can feel like everything is falling apart and you may wonder:
👉 What if I can’t keep doing ______ (fill in with your activity of choice)?
👉 What if I never get better?

When you have an injury, it can feel like everything is falling apart — but it can also be the stimulus for beautiful change and resilience.

Rehab isn’t just about getting back to sport. It’s about discovering who you are when things get tough. It pushes you to face fears.

And through that process, you learn to tune into your body, and mind.
You notice what feels good, and what doesn’t.
You reflect on what really matters to you.
You stop trying to hide from fear — and start moving toward your goals.
⁠
And in that journey, you don’t just heal your body…
You grow more resilient.
You gain confidence.
You learn what you're truly capable of.
And you learn who you truly are.

With the right support, you can feel more capable than ever before.

That’s real beauty … and we love witnessing the journey.

Hi, I’m Kristin!
⁠
I’m a Registered Physiotherapist and the Founder of East Mill Physio, and I’m so excited share a little bit about me, and why I love what I do. 🙌
⁠
💡 I have a special interest in both orthopedic and pediatric care, and I’m incredibly passionate about helping kids and teens move with confidence through every stage of life. I especially love empowering young girls to advocate for themselves and teaching them how to set the foundation for lifelong health and strong sport performance. I also love to provide Performance Care Physical Therapy to help athletes stay injury-free and performing their best.

✨ Fun fact: Before becoming a PT at the University of Toronto, I did my undergrad in Buffalo, where I played 4 years of Division 1 Volleyball!
⁠
💬 My mission is to be the person I needed when I was a girl. There were so many missed opportunities for me as a young athlete, and I want to help change that for even one girl who’s in a similar situation. I was hungry for knowledge, but it wasn’t available to me. I wanted a mentor to support me when I was in pain and show me a path forward—but I didn’t know how to find that person until much too late.

As I grow and evolve as a human, I keep learning new lessons that younger versions of me would have thrived knowing. Now, I get to share that wisdom with the next generation. Helping girls and athletes feel strong, supported, and capable in their bodies is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

For me, it’s not just about recovery or physio—it’s about building a foundation for a lifetime of movement and confidence. 💛 If you of your child are looking for help recovering from an injury, or want a proactive approach to feeling great in your body, I am here to help!

All the best,

Kristin

🏷Here is your permission slip.

🏃‍♀️If you need to take the summer off from team training, that is ok.

🏐If you need to sit out of a big competition, that is ok.

✨When you make decisions that are in the best interest of your health and wellbeing, everyone benefits.

👉🏻In fact, taking a break may be one of the best ways to improve your performance.

✨Regardless of what the world may lead you to believe, it is always okay to take a break from your sport, training, job, roles. Always.

👏🏻It has been so inspiring to watch athletes stand up for themselves, and one another because I know this means bright things for the future of mental health and athletics.

💕I wish this example had been set for me as a young girl.

👉🏻I wish my sophomore self had known this - the girl who was so exhausted and burned out that she would go into practice every day wishing she would injure herself so that she could finally have some time off - even if just for one practice 🏐.

👧🏼The girl who was shamefully happy when she was told she needed back surgery 🤕because it meant she finally had a "good enough" reason to take a break from the sport she was falling out of love with.

🙏I am grateful for the bravery of those who stand in the spotlight because I know it means better things for the next generation.

✨It is always okay to take a break. Your reason is a good reason. There are plenty of people who have your back.

💕The right people will support you, no matter what. If they don't, they aren't your people.

👊🏻The Team at EMP is here for you!

✨Freedom. Unrestricted use.

✨We believe you deserve to move freely.

✨To have unrestricted use of your body.

✨To be free of limitation.

✨You deserve to be who you want to be, and to do what you want to do.

Pain holding you back?

Do you have an injury that is keeping you out of sport 🏐?

✨At the root of our work is a desire to help you find the freedom to do the things you want to do 🏐and to go as far as you want to go.

✨If you are feeling stuck, know that it is entirely possible to get back to doing what you love, and to feel good doing it 👊🏻.

✨Anything is possible if you are willing to do the work.

✨Here to help you stay injury free, feeling good and playing your best.

💌Please reach out if you have any questions or are in need of some guidance.

Best wishes,

Did you know that your period can be your monthly 🗓 check-in on your health?

Cool right?

Your cycle 🩸 will often tell the story before you notice obvious health problems.

Your period should arrive regularly, smoothly and without having an effect on your normal activities.

Period pain 🙅‍♀️that keeps you from going to school, work, or participating in your sport is not something that you are just meant to live with.

It is an opportunity to dive deeper and improve your health (🥗🧘🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♂️💤).

Imagine how much better you will feel if you can make some changes to optimize your health.

All the best!

Athleticism refers to any quality pertaining to being an athlete.

It wasn’t until I had landed a 🏐 scholarship and a spot on the starting line that I truly considered myself an athlete.

Being on the other side of elite sport, I believe that being an athlete is so so so much more encompassing than I was once led to believe.

We were all built for movement.

Movement is healing and anyone who intentionally moves their body is an athlete.

This definition of “athlete” is not based on skill, proficiency or accomplishment.

Being an athlete isn’t dictated by your level of sport or even by consistently participating in the same sport.

It is all about intentionally using your body to move in any way that brings you joy.

At this time in my life, I most resonate with “volleyballer” (obvi 😝), “hiker”, “Pelotoner” and “dog player” 😉

You? Drop the emojis that best describe your current athletic pursuits!

💕We here at East Mill Physio have always LOVED being a part of a team.

There truly is nothing better than connection - being connected to others, and working TOGETHER 💪🏻.

A good team provides a magical ✨place where egos are minimized, wins are multiplied and failures divided.

Whether sport, school or work, I’ve always worked to be the best teammate I can be and I have carried that into my work.

Now? Our team is here for you.
✅ For the one who is recovering from injury
✅ For the one who wants to make their HS team
✅ For the one who just wants to get out and walk everyday without pain
✅ For the one who is getting back into a sport after years out of it

Your goals are our goals and we are here for you.

We are here to support you and empower you to stay happy, healthy and living your best.

Teamwork makes the dream work and we are ALL IN for you and your goals!

Best wishes,

The Team at EMP

All that is, came from change.

But change is scary.

Staying the same will always feel like the safer option.

Change is even more scary when we don’t choose it.

Yet, in every situation we always have choices.

I can’t help but to see the parallels between life now and my time in sport. I am so grateful for the lessons in resilience I learned through 🏐.

What I’ve learned to do differently in my old age 😉 is to take a stand for myself and ask for the support I need to make it through those tough transitions in my life.

It’s a challenging time of change for everyone but I’ve seen just how tough it has been on the young athletes I work with.

I didn’t know what to ask for at that age and they might not either.

If they are injured and need something different

Or, if you want them to learn more about how they can best support their bodies 💪🏻 , and advocate for themselves during the many changes that are thrown their way, please reach out.

We’d love to chat and see if we are a good fit to work together ♥️.

Here to help them stay injury free, feeling good and playing their best, for life 💕.

All the best,

The Team at EMP

Better late, than never, right? 🫠

It’s been over 2 weeks since the Female Athlete Conference in Boston, and I’m only just beginning to process the experience and the message. To try to package it all into a post feels like a disservice — but to say nothing at all feels like one too.

✨ The collaboration, the research, the raw and powerful stories—there was something deeply healing and electrifying about being in a room full of people who care so fiercely about the future of girls and women in sport. It shed new light on my experience as an athlete — which has been revealing and relieving. It re-invigorated the push to continue educating and empowering young female athletes (and their support networks) so that they can stay happy, healthy and performing their best, now AND for life ✨.

Every single speaker was fuelled with a passion for supporting female athletes - and that thread of compassion was palpable across every single presentation.

I’ve walked away from this conference with renewed energy, deeper questions, and so much more inspiration to propel some new initiatives to support the next generation of female athletes.

Can’t wait to share more!

Best wishes,

Kristin

Welcome to East Mill Physio in Elora

East Mill Physio offers a different experience from your traditional physiotherapy clinic. Here, I take a holistic approach to the treatment of your pain and movement problems with full consideration for your widely complex physiology. My approach includes a comprehensive evaluation of all body systems to determine their relative contribution to any pain and/or movement dysfunctions.

Treatment often involves a combination of:

Education: to empower you in your health and performance by facilitating your understanding of your body and it’s unique needs

Neurofunctional acupuncture: a specialized type of acupuncture used to stimulate the peripheral nervous system to evoke real-time changes in movement, function and symptoms
