Bobbie is a registered physiotherapist, a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, and CPA’s Orthopeadic Division.  She completed her Physiotherapy Degree at the University of Alberta, with most of her 30 years of experience working with musculoskeletal problems.  Over the years, she has taken dozens of post-graduate courses to further her skills and knowledge.

At this stage of her career, Bobbie is choosing to work locums, or temporary positions, incorporating a little travel with her work.  With numerous ProActive locations and the positive teamwork atmosphere, it is a good fit!

Bobbie’s philosophy regarding physiotherapy is that a good assessment is important.  “Understanding the root problem allows me to work on the causes, not just the symptoms; treatment is more effective and there is significantly less chance of re-occurrence.  Seeing people regain confidence in their health, even excelling beyond what they were pre-injury, is great - I love what I do!”

When she is not working, Bobbie enjoys sea kayaking around Newfoundland’s incredible coastline, a hike, food and friends, or a dip in the pond with a campfire after.  While finishing his engineering degree at MUN, her son continues to amaze her with his passion to explore and excel in numerous pursuits.
