Irene graduated from Queen’s University with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. She also has a background in Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology. She is registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, and is a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
She has treated many different conditions in various hospitals and clinical settings including acute injuries, sports injuries, chronic pain, neurological disorders, stroke, etc. She is motivated to work with patients to set personalized goals and tailor treatments to help them achieve their maximal potential.

Being active and helping others achieve the same is what led her to pursue physiotherapy. She especially enjoys dragon boat and gymnastics out of the many sports in which she participates, and is motivated to help others regain their physical abilities to do what they enjoy.
