Originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Carly completed her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Victoria before moving to Vancouver to complete her Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. After experiencing her own orthopedic challenges, including two pediatric orthopedic surgeries and interacting with physiotherapists during her childhood, Carly entered the field with a keen interest in pediatrics. 

Carly has been working exclusively with the pediatric population in a private setting for over 5 years. She enjoys treating patients ranging from babies to teenagers and loves the challenge of making sessions effective and fun. Carly contributes her sharp knowledge of motor development to this course and helps learners understand the process of learning and refining motor skills - including running! 

In addition to her clinical work, Carly is the Director of Clinical Excellence for Kids Physio Group. She helps mentor new physiotherapists on the KPG team and coordinates learning opportunities for the 70+ physiotherapists on the team across the country.

Outside the clinic, you would likely find Carly training at CrossFit, playing one of many sports, catching up with her three sisters, cheering on the Canucks and Seahawks, traveling somewhere warm, or adventuring in the mountains on her snowboard. She can be reached at carly@kidsphysio.ca.

Kids Physio Group

Yes, just kids. Yes, just physio.

We were the first to provide this service in British Columbia and to be able to expand across Canada. We are proud to have treated over ten thousand children of all ages and abilities over the past decade. Babies, kids, and teens function differently from adults, and our space and team are equipped to provide the highest quality physiotherapy care, delivered in an engaging way.

Our specialized equipment and treatments focus on improving mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, endurance, gross motor skills, cognition, motor planning, confidence, motivation, and more. With a large, experienced team we are able to provide custom programs based on each child’s distinct needs from birth to 18 years old.

Typically developing children with injuries, or those looking to extend or improve their athletic careers through pre-habilitation enjoy our open space, engaging equipment, and thoughtful treatment plans, while those with lifelong conditions benefit from the playfulness and our creative support to help them stay motivated in their rehabilitation journey.

We make physio fun!
