Hi, I’m Ruth. Life-long learning is my passion and with this, I hope to help you achieve your goals.  

I have worked as a physiotherapist in neurology for 25 years.  I completed my Bachelor of Health Sciences in Physiotherapy and my Master of Science at McMaster University.  I began my physiotherapy career at Toronto Rehab-Rumsey Centre in the outpatient neurology program. I then worked at the Toronto Western Hospital in a neurosurgery/neurology acute inpatient setting. I continued to pursue my interest in outpatient neurological physiotherapy at The Credit Valley Hospital and privately in the community. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and develop the ability to network with community resources to help clients re-integrate into their community.  My post graduate research examined how to increase adherence to home walking practice for neuroplasticity and motor learning to occur.  I have completed post graduate courses for certification as a Facial Therapist, in advanced Neurological Developmental Techniques (NDT), and in advanced level training in the Bobath Concept.

Over the last 2 years, I have been teaching theory and practical skill labs at Humber Polytechnic in the OTA/PTA Program, and enjoy sharing my knowledge, experiences and passion with the students.

Outside of work, I enjoy creating delicious meals for my family, and when I can find the time, playing the piano and painting.
