Emily is a registered physiotherapist trained in Diane Lee’s Integrated Systems Model; a specialized assessment approach that revolves around the analysis of the body as whole and complex system. Assessment involves a head to toe scan of a posture or a movement to determine areas of dysfunction or asymmetry. This allows the therapist to identify both the area of original injury as well as areas that are compensating in response to that injury. Discerning areas of injury from areas of compensation leads to much more effective treatments and faster results. This style of assessment is particularly useful for individuals with complicated injuries, a history of multiple injuries/traumas, injuries that appear to “come out of nowhere”, dysfunction resulting from abdominal or pelvic surgeries, and car accidents.
