Welcome Kimberly! Another physiotherapist joins the team

Kimberly Lessard, a Salmo resident and physiotherapist is starting at Salmo Physio January 28th, 2022. She has a specialty in Women’s Health/Pelvic floor physiotherapy and is looking forward to serving our village! Please check her availability by following the Book Online link. See below for her Bio and stay tuned for more posts from her about her specialty, Women’s health.

After a winter in Nelson and a summer exploring BC, Kimberly chose Salmo as her permanent home for the community vibe, the mountain sports, and the quality of life in the Kootenays.  To provide her new Salmo community with pelvic floor physiotherapy and also offer orthopedic physiotherapy, she is joining Salmo Physio.

Early in her career, she discovered a passion for women’s health and completed post-graduate courses in this area of physiotherapy.  Kimberly is dedicated to breaking the silence about women’s conditions and empowering her patients with knowledge and exercises. When stepping into her office, you will be respected, listened to, and taken as a whole individual. See the conditions she can treat in another section.

In addition to treating pelvic floor issues, she completed post-graduate course work in Orthopedic rehabilitation and continues to further her knowledge and skills in this area. Kimberly has experience with athletes, in particular with college football and high-level gymnastics and circus athletes. 

In her spare time, she enjoys outdoor activities, such as downhill skiing, ski touring, canoeing, running, mountain biking, and hiking. She also loves cooking, practicing yoga, traveling, and scuba diving. When an occasion arises to adventure in the backcountry, whether it is on a bike, on skis, or with hiking boots, she wants to be part of it. As she speaks French and English, you can see her in the language of your choice.
