I have been a physiotherapist since 2004 and the Clinical Practice Lead of the Ontario South East RAC LBP since 2018. I am based at Kingston Health Sciences Centre and we have an excellent team of 7 clinic based Advanced Practice Clinicians across our region to provide consultations close to a patient’s home. For surgical cases, we have an efficient referral pathway with our local spine surgeon sponsor, Dr. Julius Ebinu, and can coordinate referral to any of the other local spine surgeons. For lumbar radiculopathies < 12 months, we can refer for epidural steroid injections to the anesthesiologists at the HDH Pain Clinic or the interventionist physicians at KOPI as appropriate.
I am a big believer in promoting whole person health, interprofessional collaboration, and striving to improve health care efficiencies to optimize patient wellness, wait times, and outcomes. Aside from managing lumbar pain, I enjoy running, biking, ultimate frisbee, my dog, and adventures with friends and family.
