Kristen’s Story:

While training for the Ironman Canada Triathlon in 1999 Kristen injured her knee biking. This injury led Kristen to work with a physiotherapist. With the help and guidance of the physio Kristen successfully finished the race. This positive experience inspired her to pursue physiotherapy as a career and help others achieve their personal goals. Kristen offers a compassionate, client-centered, hands-on approach, combined with therapeutic exercise.

Since 2018, I have been extremely grateful to have Kristen Duncan as a vital member of my health team. Her professional and personable manner inspires confidence and trust through her initial assessment, consultationTM, hands-on healing, and prescriptive exercises. Whether my problem was a chronic elbow, shoulder, back, hips or knee pain, Kristen’s healing hands have brought release and relief. Her recommended exercises are thoroughly explained, demonstrated, and practiced. My range of motion and movement is restored through Kristen’s hands-on pain release and continued support. Her smile and friendly personality are always welcome in my home. I highly recommend Kristen to my friends. -FD
