Tiffany Zaplitney RPT, MSc. PT, BSc. Kin, CAFCI:

Tiffany started practicing physiotherapy in 2006 after completing her Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto. Her main focus during her masters program was in Cardiorespiratory Physical Therapy which allowed her to acquire a diverse clinical background in various facilities. As well, she contributed to a published article, was an artist for the U of T Anatomy Department, and won the "Life and Breath of Physical Therapy" award from U of T. Previous to her Masters, she completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a minor in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria with honors. Out west, she learned to achieve a life balance between the demands of work, school and recreational activities.

Over the past 3 years, she has worked in various settings such as: sports rehabilitation, neuro-rehab, critical care, intensive care, thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery and orthopaedic surgery. Eventually, her focus changed to an out-patient, orthopaeidc environment because of the variation in client cases and divesity in the patient population. Her treatment techniques include client education, the MacKenzie Method and manual therapy techniques. Her passion for education is fueled by completing advanced physiotherapy courses and credits. She strives to continue to provide best practice techniques and follow the latest evidence based research to create learning tools for clients.

Outside of work, she enjoys several, all-season outdoor activities. By finding a life-work balance in Barrie, Tiffany feels that she is able to pass on her positive-energy and active attitude to her clients, and therefore help them achieve optimal wellness while having a smile on their face.
