Kirsten graduated with a Bachelor's of Kinesiology from the University of Calgary and a Master's of Science in Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta. Since then, she has developed an interest in vestibular rehabilitation, specifically concussions. She works part time in the clinic while completing another Master's of Science, researching concussion rehabilitation at the University of Calgary.

Following a motor vehicle collision, Kirsten was drawn to the field of physiotherapy. She felt cared for and empowered by her physiotherapist, and knew that she could do the same for others. Kirsten now enjoys meeting new clients and helping them get back to the activities that they love. She provides individualized and patient-centered treatment primarily through education, therapeutic exercise, soft tissue techniques and dry-needling.

Since Kirsten believes that exercise is the best medicine, she likes to lead by example in her personal life. She enjoys long distance running, strength training, rock climbing, and hiking in the Canadian Rockies. She also loves road trips, camping and travelling, and will entertain you with stories from her recent trips during treatments. Whatever your reason for visiting Panther is, Kirsten is excited to work with you to help you reach your goals.

I received my bachelor's and master's degree in Physiotherapy from The Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G. R Medical University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India in 2004 and 2006 respectively.

 After my graduation, I joined as a lecturer in the same college where I studied for teaching Physiotherapy students' various subjects such as exercise physiology, electrotherapy, and biomechanics. I also experienced working as a Clinical Physiotherapist in the out patient department of the same institution, working with variety of patients with musculoskeletal and neuromusculoskeletal such as tendinopathies, arthritis, muscles strains, ligament sprains, cerebral palsies, and cerebrovascular stroke.

 After 10 years of working in India, I moved to Canada with my family in 2016.I finished my license exam to become a fully registered physiotherapist in 2018.I have also advanced my practice completing several certification courses including functional dry needling, manual therapy, Graston technique, post concussion rehabilitation and vestibular rehabilitation.

 I always thrive to learn new things to improve my practice and help my patients in getting rid of their problems. I am passionate in doing thorough assessment, planning, and executing the appropriate treatment techniques. Also doing appropriate referral in time if there is no expected outcome following the treatments.

Apart from work I spent my time in cooking various food and spent essential time with my family and friends.
