Dr Sheila Hubscher, DC Chiropractor & Co-Owner
Remaining active through all stages of life is important to many people. To me, health is being able to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. Since graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2001, my motto has been “getting you active and keeping you active”. During my 17 years in practice I have found that patients achieve their goals more quickly and efficiently when a team of qualified health care practitioners all work together. Our team at Clarkson Sports & Physiotherapy will ensure that you receive a thorough and comprehensive integrated approach to your injury or health concern so you can return to what it is you love to do, and keep doing it for as long as you wish. My passion has always been running, but I have recently added road cycling to my list of activities
