Hi there !
Glad to see you're curious about the therapist.
My name is Blair, and honestly it feels a bit strange to write about myself.
A little too much "Hey look at me!"
BUT, since you must be interested in learning a little about me...
A graduate from the University of Alberta, I've been a physical therapist since 1996.
If you're interested in credentials:
I have certificate of achievement in Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation through Duke University School of Medicine in partnership with the American Physical Therapy Association.
(This is the highest level of certification available in North America and focuses on examination and rehabilitation of more complex conditions that cause dizziness).
I also have a Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy through the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (yeah, that's a mouthful). Just to let you know, this is the highest level of certification available in Canada.
(You might meet a physical therapist talking about orthopedic levels, well an advanced certification is awarded to those that pass the exam after level five is completed).
Learn more about what these credentials mean by using copy and paste into an internet search:

What I really want to tell you is how this background allows me to help so many people struggling with dizziness or balance difficulties, and those recovering from concussion.
I love being able to work in a clinic focused and dedicated to helping people that are being limited by these problems.
It's exciting to be part of such a unique facility in Edmonton.
Thank you for browsing through my little piece of the website.
If you'd like to work with someone that helps people like you every day, I'd be happy to help you move beyond dizziness, vertigo, and concussion.
Hope to see you soon! :)
