ABOUT KRISTINE SLATER
Kristine has recently moved to Squamish and is excited to embrace the active lifestyle through outdoor sports and adventures with her dog.
Kristine has a bachelor degree in Kinesiology from UBC and a Masters degree in Physiotherapy from Leeds Beckett University in the United Kingdom. She has a special interest in working with all athletes. As a rugby player for 15+ years, she has experienced her fair share of injuries and understands the ups and downs of rehabilitation. She now works with local club and provincial rugby teams, is the physiotherapist for Canada Netball and is part of the Australian based Pole Physio team.
Kristine strongly believes that exercise is medicine and that nobody should have to accept living in pain. Her physiotherapy approach is not only to help you recover from acute injury, but also find prevention strategies for the future. Her treatments often include manual therapy, dry needling and movement re-education through exercise. She also provides concussion treatment and management.
