Amy Werden, HBK, MSc (Kin), MSc (PT)
Having spent many years in Northern Ontario earning an Honours Bachelors of Kinesiology (2016) and a Master’s of Science in Kinesiology (2018) at Lakehead University, Amy returned to Southern Ontario to gain a Master’s of Physical Therapy at the University of Western Ontario (2020). In her thesis, Amy researched the effect of concussion injuries and lasting symptoms and how one can help rehabilitate from it. Amy believes concussions deserve more than a cookie cutter solution and need to be customized to each individual and their future goals!
