Physiotherapy
Jennifer Haywood completed her physiotherapy degree at Queen’s University in 2006. As a varsity trainer, she worked with the Queen’s men’s hockey and rugby teams. This experience fostered her interest in orthopaedics and working with elite athletes.
​
After graduating, Jen continued her education, taking numerous courses and completed her Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy examinations in 2015. She is now a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT)., the highest accreditation in orthopaedics in Canada. She also completed her Integrated Dry Needling (IDN) training in 2019.
​
In private practice, Jen treats individuals of all skill levels. She enjoys working on correcting biomechanical deficits with young athletes to prevent injury and improve performance. Jen has also taken a personal interest in post-natal exercise, working on regaining core stability after the demands of pregnancy. She also specializes in the treatment of vertigo, concussion and vestibular-related disorders.
After a thorough assessment, Jen uses her manual therapy skills, dry needling techniques and exercise prescription to help her patients improve mobility and achieve their goals.
