About Us
Having identified a need in the community, Kelly Christie, PhT opened Athletica Physio in June of 2010 with the vision to provide quality wellness and rehabilitative care to a wide variety of patients. Having worked in many physiotherapy settings, Kelly knew the type of practice she would want to go to, and thus knew the kind of care her clinic would provide to others: one-on-one, individualized, dynamic, educational, calming and evidence based.
Our Approach
The physiotherapists at Athletica Physio share the same vision of patient care. Our goal is to empower our patients to achieve the fullest recovery possible by providing appropriate educational information, an individualized and progressive set of home exercises and targeted manual therapy in the clinic. We focus each examination and treatment on the person as a whole, not just his or her injured area. This allows us to think outside the box and determine all possible contributors to the pain. Once identified, each contributor (ie posture, sleep patterns, daily activities, exercise routines/sports, etc) can be explored, modified or eliminated to allow for a full recovery and to minimize the risk of injury recurrence in the future.
