Kids Physio Group - Hamilton.

Kara grew up in Eastern Ontario in the small city of Brockville. Being heavily involved in athletics including soccer, basketball, badminton, volleyball and softball from early childhood, it came as no surprise to anyone that she pursue a degree in the study of human movement. After completing her degree in Kinesiology at McMaster, Kara went on to complete a Masters’s degree in Physiotherapy at McMaster and graduated in 2004. She has spent the last eighteen years working in orthopedics, home care, community paediatrics, school health services and private paediatrics. Kara’s passion has always been working with children. Kara has always been fascinated by the capabilities of the human brain and body; watching children develop new skills, build on their achievements and apply those skills and achievements outside the clinical setting brings that fascination to its highest level. Striving for milestones and working towards physical goals can be gruelling; there is nothing more rewarding for everyone than reaching these goals while having FUN. By virtue of her kids' experiences in organized sport and having been a trainer on their hockey teams, Kara recognizes the need for enhanced concussion education for families and has taken a strong interest in supporting local organizations and athletes through concussion. Kara completed the CCMI course in 2022. Kara continues to remain active and involved in sports in one way or another. Winters are spent in chilly arenas as a spectator or trainer for her kids’ hockey teams and even trying the sport out herself. In the summer, you can usually find Kara scooping ground balls on the infield or cheering on her children at the baseball diamond.
