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.
