Patti has a holistic approach to patient care following the Functional Movement Systems assessment and treatment paradigm. She searches for the weakest link and considers past injuries to provide clues for successful treatment. She also considers the contribution of functional breathing patterns, adequate sleep quality, nutrition, and daily physical activity to overall physical and mental wellbeing.
Patti has more than 20 years of experience working with the Canadian Armed Forces in Ottawa and has recently returned home to Winnipeg to continue her practice at the Pan Am Clinic.
