ABOUT MAGDALENA

Magdalena is a registered Physiotherapist and Pelvic Health

Physiotherapist. She grew up in Airdrie and moved back in 2016 after

completing her Masters of Physiotherapy program at the University of

Saskatchewan in 2015. Previous to completing her Master’s program she

completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at the University of Calgary

in 2010, and has been working in healthcare field ever since. During this

time she also completed her Certified Exercise Specialist and Certified

Exercise Physiologist certifications.

Since graduation from her Masters, she has gone on to pursue post

graduate training in orthopaedics, manual therapy, dry needling,

prevention and treatment of running injuries, and pelvic health including

pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, and diastasis rectus abdominis

(DRA).

She takes a whole-person approach to assessment and treatment,

looking at all aspects of what might be contributing to a person’s

symptoms or pain experience to get to the root issue, and then treating

the whole-person, not just a body part. She believes that combining

evidence based practice with strong clinical reasoning, and tailoring that

to the person in front of you ultimately leads to the best outcomes. Her

goal with every person she sees is to educate them about their bodies so

that they feel empowered to take control of their health, and start moving

or to get back to movements they love.

Magdalena is also a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and passionate about

women’s health. She loves that she gets to combine her knowledge of the

musculoskeletal system with specialized pelvic health training to ensure a

more comprehensive evaluation of people’s symptoms or complaints,

whether that be low back or hip pain, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence,

pelvic organ prolapse, or DRA. Whether you’re pregnant, 6 weeks

postpartum or 30+ years postpartum, helping people move better and

with less pain, is why she loves being a physiotherapist. Her passion for

women’s health really grew after giving birth to her two daughters in

2016 and 2019. She believes all women have the right to make informed

decisions about their bodies and birth experience, and to receive the care

they need postpartum. She also has special interests in working with the

dance and running communities.

When she’s not working, you can see her running or biking with her

family around Airdrie, or at the yoga studio. She is a lover of the ballet

and a previous dancer and dance teacher.
