Physiotherapist
Jamie is based in our climbing specific Waterloo clinic at 9 Degrees Waterloo.

A few years ago, Jamie fell in love with the sport of climbing and has since applied her interest of movement analysis and the science of physiotherapy into climbing specific injuries.
Jamie's approach to treatment is to identify and correct inefficient movement patterns by restoring joint movement, improving muscular control, and building strength.
She believes that every active person is an athlete of their own, and the key to maintain that is to know their body and work with it, not against it.
