Hi, I’m Robyn Beattie! I was born and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta. Growing up, I was a competitive dancer for 10 years and played rugby for 4 years. Now you might find me weightlifting at the gym, snowboarding, hiking, or on the golf course. Through an active lifestyle I have encountered many injuries and witnessed their impact on daily living. Thus, my passion for treatment began.

I can’t wait to meet you and get you back to your normal!
