Strive Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine

Since obtaining her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto, Alex has emerged as a physiotherapy leader in clinical practice, as an educator and as an advocate for her work with communities who have been structurally marginalized.

Alex’s clinical skills include comprehensive neuromusculoskeletal assessment and treatment for clients throughout the lifespan, from helping children achieve their developmental milestones, to helping adults and seniors stay active and maximize their independence. Alex values the importance of the therapeutic relationship and strives to provide the utmost patient-centered care, by helping clients achieve their individual goals while considering their unique life experiences and prioritizing comfort, communication and trauma-informed care.

Alex is dedicated to her continuing education and remaining up to date with current physiotherapy research. She has taken advanced courses in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, shoulder rehabilitation, neurodevelopmental therapy, and integrated dry needling. She is currently working towards her FCAMPT (Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy) designation.

Alex’s work outside of the clinic includes teaching at the University of Toronto in the Department of Physical Therapy, on anti-oppression and critical allyship for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. She is also a co-founder of the Queer Physiotherapy Collective, a community of practice for Queer and Transgender physiotherapists and students in Canada.

In her spare time, Alex enjoys staying active with Pilates, boxing and Muay Thai, as well as relaxing with her cat and a good book.
