Bethany Spiers, Registered Kinesiologist

Bethany is a Registered Kinesiologist working with people throughout preconception, pregnancy and postpartum by using evidence-based research to treat and prevent injury and disease. She helps people with both pre-habilitation and rehabilitation to improve movement, pain, and quality of life.

BACKGROUND:
Bethany is dedicating her care in the maternal world focusing on pregnancy and postpartum. In addition to her perinatal experience, she has worked with a variety of populations including spinal cord trauma, geriatric, physical and mental exceptionalities and sports injury rehabilitation.

Her dedication to Women's Health began during her undergraduate degree at University of Toronto, where she found herself repeatedly studying various ailments that affect women. This led her to conduct various primary research studies, work in various perinatal clinics, and further her education on topics such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, prenatal kinesio-taping, fascial stretch therapy, and more.

Bethany is well versed with a variety of injuries from diastasis and the pelvic floor, to knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, and more. Aside from her clinical skills, her empathy and compassion create a welcoming and nurturing environment where her patients are truly cared for.
PHILOSOPHY:
​
Kinesiologists are Regulated Health Professionals that focus on preventing and rehabilitating injury, illness, and dysfunction. They utilize active care such as exercise prescription and intervention, manual care such as joint and tissue mobilization, and passive care such as cupping, NMES/TENS, and taping. Bethany believes that optimal patient care is achieved when we address the body as an interconnected system, rather than just individual parts. Her goal is to educate and empower people by providing the adequate knowledge and skills they need to achieve their wellness goals. She is a thorough believer in pre-habilitation, preparing people's bodies for pregnancy, labour and delivery. This helps prevent injury or dysfunction. Physical rehabilitation that builds upon pelvic floor, movement, and mobility is a cornerstone of her practice. As a Regulated Health Professional, Bethany ensures she stays up-to-date with current literature and ensures that she communicates this with her patients in a comprehensive way.
