TW: pregnancy loss 💔

For the last two weeks I have been navigating a miscarriage. It sucks. A LOT. I know with time I will be ok…

Then today, a pelvic health patient of mine who has been struggling with pain associated with in*******se for the last two years, revealed that she has finally been able to engage in penetrative s3x for the first time and is now on her conception journey.

Truthfully, I’ve had a very hard time finding any joy the last two weeks. But today I was reminded of the positive impact that my profession can have on people’s lives. Although my conception journey has had this hiccup, I’m beyond honoured to play a small role in helping my patients towards their journeys.

Life is amazing, and then it’s awful, and then it’s amazing again. If anyone else needed this reminder lately, here it is - I’m always happy to be a cheerleader for you ❤️

Today marks the official 1 year anniversary of accepting patients into my at-home physiotherapy practice 🎉

This past year has far exceeded my wildest dreams. To every single one of my patients who have trusted me with their care, and all those who have supported my practice by referring friends, family, and common patients to me - THANK-YOU from the bottom of my heart. ♥️

I spent the first 10 years as a physiotherapist telling myself I would never run my own business - now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m so grateful I took a leap of faith and trusted the process.

Wishing everyone here a happy and fulfilling 2025! ✨

Every year throughout the month of December, I am overwhelmed by the generosity of my patients who always love to spoil me with gifts, gift cards, and all sorts of treats and baked goods.

I truly appreciate these, however being a supportive patient of mine is the best and only gift I need.

If you are wanting to show your appreciation, I encourage you to consider doing something a little different this year. I would love to use the month of December to gather funds to support .

Every donation brought my way between now and December 31st, I will match on behalf of Lynn Valley Physiotherapy.

I can accept cash, cheque, or e-transfer to lynnvalleyphysiotherapy@gmail.com, and I will make a lump sum donation in the New Year.

As always, thank-you for your support ♥️

Aloha! Thank-you for all my patient’s patience as I take a much needed vacation with my family. 🌺

I will have limited access to email and social media while I’m away, and have (reluctantly) left my clinic phone on my desk at home. I will return all messages upon my return! 🌿

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable end of summer and I look forward to seeing everyone after Labour Day! 🤙🏻

Celebrating half a year of supporting the Norfolk community with their physiotherapy needs! 🎉

First off, THANK-YOU to everyone who has supported me and my practice over these last 6 months. All of my patients who have trusted me with their care, fellow healthcare practitioners who have been referring patients to me, and my friends and family who have been my biggest cheerleaders on the sidelines. My practice has been thriving because of all of the support I’ve received, so thank YOU! 🥰

I’ve officially been accepting patients for 6 full months now. In that time, I’ve:
⭐️ welcomed over 140 patients into my practice
⭐️ done over 800 assessment and treatment sessions

Truthfully, I was very hesitant to open Lynn Valley Physiotherapy. I had a lot of doubt that I was going to have a successful practice here in Norfolk. It’s been so reassuring to experience the growth month to month - I anticipated it was going to take at least a year to build a full caseload - I was busy and thriving within three months 😲

Never in my wildest dreams did I envision this life I’m now living. Becoming a business owner while raising my beautiful daughter with my lovely husband, and being able to do all of this within our dream home has been the most fulfilling experience of my life thus far. I’m SO glad I took the leap and decided to open my practice here in Norfolk - this community is endlessly supportive and I can’t thank everyone here enough 🤍✨

So cheers to the first 6 months, and I look forward to continuing to support my community for years to come!

Endlessly, THANK-YOU ♥️

Hi! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m Tara, and I wanted you all to get to know me a little better, so here’s the Cole’s notes on me 😊

▫️I’m the youngest of 4 girls in my family 👧🏻

▫️I grew up in Mississauga, and my parents still live in my childhood home 🏠

▫️After finishing all my schooling, I moved from Mississauga to Burlington where I met my now husband, we eventually moved to Hamilton, and we have now been living in Simcoe for the last two years 🏡

▫️I have a 4 year old golden retriever named Maui 🦮

▫️My husband and I have been married for 2 years, and we had a beautiful wedding on Maui with just our parents present 🌺

▫️My daughter’s name is Charlotte, she was born in October 2022 via unplanned cesarean birth, and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me 💕

▫️I grew up as a competitive dancer, and did this right through my mid-20s 🩰

▫️When my body couldn’t handle dancing anymore, I took up long distance running - I’ve ran three full marathons including NYC and Chicago, countless half marathons, and Around the Bay x 6 🏃🏻‍♀️

▫️My favourite movie is Pretty Woman, my favourite show is S*x and the City, my favourite musician is Justin Bieber, and my favourite food is pasta 🍝

▫️I absolutely love my job, and I am deeply honoured when individuals choose me to play a role in their healthcare journey. Truly, THANK-YOU to all of my patients from the past, present, and future ♥️

Thanks for being here and I hope you enjoyed this! 🤍✨

Concussion management - Moving beyond resting in a dark room.

Concussion research has come a long way and we now know that treatment involves much more than just resting - that’s where I come in.

Even though you may feel “back to normal” a few days after a concussion, this doesn’t mean that your brain and body have fully recovered from the injury. I’ll do a thorough and comprehensive assessment to determine how your brain and body are functioning, and we will put together a plan for getting you back to play, work, and normal life safely.

Yes, treatment for concussion usually does involve a bit of rest but it can also involve manual therapy, acupuncture, visual rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, and progressive exercise. Your assessment will determine where your symptoms are originating from, and what treatment options are going to be most appropriate for you.

If you are an athlete who plays a contact sport, I also highly recommend getting baseline testing done before your season begins. This includes a battery of tests that are completed when you are functioning at your best. That way, if you do sustain a concussion during your season, you can have great data to compare to, to know when you are truly 100% recovered.

I treat everything from acute concussions, to post-concussion syndrome, and offer baseline testing for individuals as well as complete team rosters.

Pelvic health physiotherapy - helping you “down there”.

My goal for Lynn Valley Physiotherapy is to be a safe, comfortable, and inclusive space where pelvic health is not stigmatized, and you don’t have to feel awkward reaching out and asking for help. Talking about this stuff can be uncomfortable sometimes. I get it AND want to make sure you get the help you need.

Pelvic health physiotherapy is so much more than kegels and can have a profound impact on:
✔️Incontinence
✔️Post-operative pelvic surgery
✔️Pelvic organ prolapse
✔️Painful pe*******on
✔️ Painful periods and endometriosis
✔️Returning to activity postpartum
✔️ Pregnancy and birth prep

Our sessions together are going to include a thorough history taking, and from there I will conduct a pelvic exam which will include external and possibly internal assessment. Once we get down to the root cause of your concerns, we will work together to improve your quality of life.

Let me assure you that you are the boss during our sessions together. There are no silly questions, and no concern will be brushed off. It’s very important to me that you feel comfortable, safe, and supported in my care.

Orthopaedic Physiotherapy - helping with your aches and pains.

I’m confident that I can help if you are experiencing discomfort from a joint, muscle, or nerve issue. There isn’t much I haven’t seen or treated - from sprains/strains, overuse injuries, joint replacements, headaches, tendinitis, the list goes on and on. If pain is stopping you from doing what you want to do, I would be honoured to work with you. My job is to do a thorough assessment of where your pain is coming from (hint: it may not be where you think!), and from there, we put together a plan to get you back to doing what you love.

There are many tools that we can use to help you achieve your goals including manual therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, education, and exercise prescription during our treatment sessions.

I understand that it can be confusing in regard to who to see for a particular injury. The healthcare options are endless from your family doctor, to massage therapy, to chiropractic, or osteopathy. If you are unsure if physiotherapy is right for you and your condition, please reach out to me and ask. I would love to chat!

Hey, I’m Tara 🙋🏻‍♀️

I want to see you succeed.

I’m an orthopaedic and pelvic health physiotherapist and am so proud of what I’ve built at Lynn Valley Physiotherapy. Whether you are an athlete who just hurt their knee, or a runner who wants to optimize their performance, or even a new mom who wants to return to exercise, let me assure you that physiotherapy can help.

I have my Honours Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology from Western University and Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from Queen’s University. However, I’ve learned so much more about quality physiotherapy care from being immersed in this profession over the last decade; more than I ever learned from a lecture or text book in school.

If you tell me what your goals are, we will work together to help you achieve them. If you’re unsure about what physiotherapy is or if it’s appropriate for you, please reach out! I would love to chat 😊
