Amber Mawson

Physiotherapist

About

Amber received her Masters of Science in Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta in 2018, after a 10 year career as a massage therapist.

She has since invested her time in continuing education for strength and conditioning, pain neuroscience, behaviour change, nutrition, functional dry needling, concussion and vestibular rehabilitation. She is currently involved in a research study promoting physical activity and exercise to prevent osteoarthritis after knee injury. As a lifelong learner, she has an enormous appetite for reading new research and applying it to her practice.

Amber has a passion for health promotion and physical activity at any level. She will work with you to meet your health goals regardless of where you are in your journey. She believes in a collaborative approach to treatment, and that people have an innate intelligence about what their body needs. She works with you to find your individual goals and then offers customized education, guidance, and values-based goal-setting and treatment planning. Amber is optimistic and passionate about the body’s ability to recover and become resilient through injury.

She has a special interest in the aging athlete, hypermobility, and work injuries.

When not at the clinic, Amber recharges as much as possible in the great outdoors around Sea to Sky country. She’s always keen to learn new mountain bike skills, resend old, classic climbing routes and embrace alder-bashing while exploring on skis with her husband and friends. She has a love of science, cats, and exploration.
