Meghan Murphy Physiotherapist PT, MSc.PT, BSc.
Meghan grew up in Calgary competing in dance, Kyokushin Karate, tennis, and rugby. As a result of her active upbringing, she had her own personal experiences with physiotherapy, inspiring her to pursue physiotherapy as a career. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Physiology at the University of Calgary before earning her Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. Meghan started her career in orthopaedics and her approach to physical therapy is grounded in strong manual therapy skills combined with education and individualized exercise prescription. Meghan continues to treat orthopaedic injuries, but has a passion for Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy. Her experience in treating orthopaedics is fundamental for any Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist in order to fully appreciate the pelvic floor's role and influence in many orthopaedic injuries and pain.
She has taken advanced training to specialize in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy that allows her to treat conditions such as bowel and bladder incontinence, pregnancy and postpartum, and pelvic pain. She is passionate about educating and empowering women to take an active role in their health and recovery.
Thomas Schlacht Physiotherapist Intern MScPT, BKin
Tom completed his Master’s of Science in Physiotherapy at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland in 2023, where he graduated with distinction. Prior to moving to Scotland, Tom completed his Bachelor of Kinesiology in his hometown of Edmonton at the University of Alberta, where he also graduated with distinction.
After returning to Canada, while undergoing the credentialing process to be able to practice as a physiotherapist, Tom worked as a kinesiologist with Momentum Health. During this period, he gained experience working with a variety of patients and conditions including motor vehicle accident injuries, work-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and sports injuries. Tom is also interested in keeping up to date with the latest research and evidence. He has published academic articles looking at exercise and bone health, which can be found here.
Tom’s first experience with physiotherapy was as a teenager after tearing his ACL playing basketball. After engaging in physiotherapy treatment both before and after surgery, he recognized how important physiotherapy was in helping him return to the activities he enjoyed. Tom now hopes to help others overcome their pain and injuries so that they can get back to the things they love.
Outside the clinic, Tom enjoys reading, lifting weights, running, hiking, and a good cup of coffee.
