Zoe Hunt
Registered PhysiotherapistZoe graduated from Manchester School of Physiotherapy in 2005 and worked in the UK for six years before moving to Whistler in 2011.
During that time she gained extensive experience in Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal injuries, quickly understanding the benefits of beginning early, effective rehabilitation. Her Senior Physiotherapist role involved working with clients as early as the day of surgery following ACL repairs, joint replacements, spinal surgery, and joint reconstructions/fracture stabilization. She realized the value of educating and empowering clients in keeping them engaged from the early to late stages of their physiotherapy program. She developed an evidence based lower limb exercise class which was enthusiastically received by the Orthopaedic consultants and saw patients make excellent recovery from their injuries.
In other clinical practice, Zoe has worked in an inpatient stroke rehabilitation unit and in community neurology. She is familiar with treating conditions including Parkinson's, Stroke, MS, ALS, Multi-system atrophy and Lyme disease and enjoys the challenges of overcoming the complexities associated with treating long-term conditions. She also has experience in Acute Respiratory Medicine including Critical Care, and Women's Health including pre/post-natal, incontinence and pre/post gynecological surgery.
Zoe enjoys treating people of all ages and has experience in Pediatric Physiotherapy including developmental delay and neurological conditions in children.
She has recently become certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), which she feels is a great tool to identify and minimize injury risk in an active population such as Whistler.
Outside of work, Zoe volunteered at Parkinson's Disease Society for many years. In 2010, she gained her Level 2 Ski Instructor qualification in Fernie, BC. On her return home she used these skills to volunteer with "Disability Snow Sports UK", and now enjoys teaching skiing part time here in Whistler.
Other interests include travel, hiking, climbing, camping, snowboarding, cooking, and being in the fresh air!
Registered Massage Therapists
Andrew Slater
Registered Massage Therapist
As a Registered Massage Therapist, Andrew believes that “imparting valuable knowledge to someone in my care is as vital as the treatment I provide”. His aim is to help people achieve their optimal health and fitness, and to furnish his patients with knowledge that will enable them to enjoy optimum physical well-being.
Andrew is a 2006 graduate of the Massage Therapy Program from The Sutherland-Chan School in Toronto, Ontario. It was there that he learned the fundamentals of massage therapy and all the important theory such as anatomy, physiology, neurology, pathology, biomechanics and treatment protocols. In school Andrew specialized in sports massage, sport related injuries and injury prevention.
After graduating, Andrew spent six years in Toronto, where he had the opportunity to study manual muscle testing, methods in Applied Kinesiology, ‘Thought Field Therapy’ and Ericksonian Hypnosis. He now makes use of manual muscle testing and Applied Kinesiology challenges and protocols in his practice to help him provide comprehensive and effective treatment for a broad range of dysfunction, recognizing that local problems can have more global or systemic origins.
In his spare time, Andrew loves to play drums, listen to music, go biking, play baseball, dodgeball, and go swimming.
