Welcome to the HiF Team, Azalea!!! We are incredibly grateful to be adding a second amazing Physiotherapy Resident to our lineup this fall! Please join us in welcoming Azalea Walc, MScPT.
Azalea (she/her) completed her Bachelor’s in Kinesiology, a thesis-based Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology, and a Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Queen’s University. As a student athletic therapist for Queen’s Varsity Basketball and Volleyball, she gained hands-on experience managing sports injuries at the collegiate level.
A dedicated triathlete, Azalea was MVP of the Queen’s Varsity Triathlon Team and has represented Canada at the World Triathlon Championships, finishing as the top Canadian in her age group in sprint and mixed relay events. She earned first overall female finishes at several Canadian triathlons and has completed the Ironman 70.3 distance in Victoria, Calgary, and Muskoka, qualifying her for the World Championships. She remains active in the triathlon community and loves racing, volunteering, and cheering on local athletes at community events.
Originally from the small town of Tiny, ON, Azalea grew up exploring the shores of Georgian Bay and developed a love for movement, community, and the outdoors. Now a Kingston resident of over 10 years, she is excited to give back through her work in physiotherapy.
Azalea works in both community and hospital settings, supporting clients from the early stages of recovery to returning to the activities they love. She uses an active, movement-based approach with strength training, exercise prescription, and hands-on techniques to help her clients make meaningful progress toward their goals. She values building strong therapeutic relationships and tailoring each program to empower her clients to return to the activities they care about most. Outside the clinic, Azalea enjoys swimming, cycling, running, strength training, yoga, and exploring Kingston’s trails and waterfront.
Azalea’s schedule will be live on our website in the coming days, so stay tuned!
