Meet Kaitlyn, one of our Physiotherapists at Prairie Trail Physiotherapy 👋

🏃‍♀️ Kaitlyn’s passion for physiotherapy grew from a lifetime of sports—triathlon, running, ultimate frisbee, and rowing—and seeing the challenges and successes of physical injuries firsthand. She now focuses her athletic energy on weightlifting and CrossFit, but loves trying new activities whenever she can!

🎓 Kaitlyn graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2016 with a Masters in Physiotherapy and has completed numerous post-graduate courses, including orthopedic care, pelvic health, and pregnancy/postpartum rehab. She’s also certified in acupuncture and dry needling.

🤝 Kaitlyn’s approach is all about helping patients improve their quality of life. She uses exercise, education, manual therapy, dry needling, and acupuncture to support each person’s unique goals.

🐶 Outside the clinic, Kaitlyn enjoys CrossFit, walking her two pups, and spending time with her young daughter and husband.

Next time you’re at the clinic, be sure to say hi to Kaitlyn! 👋

Things a physio would admit (even if we don’t always say it out loud):
✔️ Skipped our own stretches
✔️ Put patients first, even when we’re running on empty
✔️ Wondered if we’re doing enough
✔️ Scrolled and compared
✔️ Had to remind ourselves that rest counts too

We’re human. We get it. And that’s exactly why we care so much.

💬 Drop a “same” if any of these hit a little too close.

We might be “short staffed” more often than we’d like…
but we never fall short on care, hustle, or heart. 💪

Not everything needs a dramatic fix—
sometimes it’s not about changing your chair or buying a fancy gadget.
Sometimes, it’s just about stepping away from the screen and giving your body a chance to move. 🧘‍♀️✨

A few stretches, a deep breath, and a little reset can go a long way when you’ve been at the desk all day.

Nothing beats good food and learning with your crew. 🍴💬

Our physio Sarah runs these lunch and learn sessions where we order lunch, hang out, and brush up on our clinical skills. This month? We tackled different types of low back pain and got a solid refresher on thoracic spine mechanics.

Honestly, food + friends + getting smarter? Kinda the perfect combo.

Already excited for the next one!

These 3 exercises made a huge difference in how I run—stronger, smoother, and with way less pain:

🔹 Isometric Hip Abduction Hold + Single-Leg Squat
Boosts hip stability and glute strength = better form, less knee collapse.

🔹 Single-Leg Step Downs
Strengthens the muscles that control deceleration—goodbye, runner’s knee.

🔹 Single-Leg Hops
Builds power and impact absorption for a smoother, more efficient stride.

💡 Running better isn’t about running more—it’s about training smarter.

Did you know you have around 640 muscles in your body… and it only takes about 20 to book an appointment? 💪📱

We’ll take care of the rest—especially the ones that are sore, tight, or just not doing their job. 😉

Spring is here and we are excited to introduce a student Physiotherapist at our clinic! Meet Tiago, who will be working alongside our Physiotherapist Dan Girardin for a total of 6 weeks. We took some time to ask him about his experience so far.

Why do you want to be a physiotherapist?
Growing up playing a lot of sports and dealing with my own injuries, I spent a lot of time around physiotherapists. I know how hard it is to be kept from doing what you love because of pain, and it showed me just how much of an impact a physio can have on someone’s life. I love working with people to help them get back to the things that matter most to them.

What do you like about Prairie Trail Physio so far?
In my first few weeks at Prairie Trails, I’ve felt really welcomed. It’s a fun, positive place to work, with a great gym space and an awesome admin team that makes it easy for us physios to focus on helping our clients. Dan and the rest of the team have been great mentors, and I’ve already had so many opportunities to learn and grow.
