Cara’s experience providing physical therapy in a variety of settings has made her a valuable addition to the clinic. Since graduating from UBC in 2000, Cara has focused on treating complex orthopedic and neurological conditions, running injuries and peripheral joint problems. Cara has a specific interest in neck, thoracic spine and shoulder girdle problems that require stability training and muscle balance work. She is also interested in the rehabilitation of clients post motor vehicle accident. Cara works with patients in all stages of recovery from neurological conditions to assist them to achieve optimal function.

Cara completed her Intermediate Certificate in Manual and Manipulative Physical Therapy in 2006, and completed the course work for her Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy in 2008. She has also completed extensive post graduate training pertaining to motor control of the thoracic spine and the lumbopelvic hip complex. In 2008 Cara was certified in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation, a dry needling technique that allows release of tight bands in muscle. Cara is committed to continuing education and continues to take courses to improve her skills on an ongoing basis.

When not in the clinic, Cara can be found playing Ultimate Frisbee or out on the trails running or riding her bike. Cara is a past chair of the board of directors of the Kamloops Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and continues to be involved as a volunteer with this organization.
