At her core, Brittney is passionate about helping people achieve their rehabilitation goals so that they can live their most meaningful lives. She approaches physio from a lens of holistic health and it is important to her that each client feels heard, cared for, and receives an individualized plan that is tailored to their unique goals and abilities.
