Laura MacFarlane, MSc PT (Physiotherapist), BKin, Gunn IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation), CAFCI (Acupuncture), Full Body ART Provider (Active Release Techniques Spine, Upper & Lower Body & Long Tract Nerve Entrapments Certified), K-Tape Certified & Clinic Owner

Laura received her Masters of Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario and previously her Bachelors in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta. Being a native Calgarian, it was an easy choice for her to return to Calgary upon graduating. She has treated clients with a wide variety of injuries and conditions whereby she learned the importance of continued education and an integrated treatment approach. Laura has completed several post-graduate courses to provide more comprehensive treatment to her clients including acupuncture, manual therapy, Gunn intramuscular stimulation (IMS) and active release techniques. Post graduate courses are important to her as they enable her to provide a more comprehensive treatment approach to her clients. Her clientele includes a variety of individuals from the young to the elderly with issues arising due to inactivity all the way up to those from being elite level athletes. Her treatment approach combines a thorough analysis of each individual’s issues to identify the cause of the problem in order to find the solutions. Treatment therefore incorporates therapeutic exercises and stretches, hands on manual therapy, Active Release Techniques (ART), Gunn IMS (GIMS), the potential of Acupuncture to enhance recovery and electrotherapeutic modalities to decrease pain and inflammation. She enjoys treating all injuries and conditions but has a special interest in shoulders, the spine and the knees as well as pre and post natal issues and sports related injuries. She herself enjoys a variety of recreational, sport and fitness activities including running, yoga, pilates, climbing, swimming, cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing and the benefits of regular strength training. Her idea of health and wellness is achieving the right balance in all facets of life and when she is not at work she is enjoying life with her husband and daughters.
