About
The Little Physio
Meet Deidra - the little physio behind The Little Physio! Deidra is a Registered Physiotherapist who focuses on paediatric services, and who:
As a mom, understands all that comes with wanting the absolute best for your child, including potential challenges involved with out-of-town appointments, busy schedules, and implementing a home program
As a Physiotherapist, aims to only provide tailored assessment and treatment techniques I put my full trust in, that will help you and your child work toward your movement goals
As a friend, hopes to create a space where hopes, fears, goals, setbacks, and triumphs are shared openly and honestly and are met with compassion and empathy
And lastly, as a snack-lover, ensures you never leave your session more hungry than when you entered
This is my “Why” - fill the gap in access to specialized paediatric physiotherapy services in the Waterdown and surrounding communities, and provide care from the lens of a parent, professional, and friend.
But who IS Deidra?
Family - Deidra shares the most joyous job in the world of being a parent with her husband, Duane, to their three little sprouts (hence, the logo!) Mila, John & Alex.
Fun - While Deidra used to be somewhat of a thrill seeker (skydiving, flipping off cliffs, sliding down mountain slopes), she now finds her greatest happiness in spending time with her family, friends, and staying active with sports and F45!
Fysio - Deidra completed her Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from McMaster University. She then went on to obtain her Masters of Physical Therapy from Western University. She has further completed training in Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME level II), Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), torticollis and plagiocephaly, primitive reflexes, acqusition of gross motor skills, postural control, and orthopaedic issues in children and youth.
