“I would like to thank everyone for the warmest of welcomes to Cold Lake”

Katie Zimmer

While growing up in Saskatoon I was always fascinated and interested in the human body. It was this interest that led me to an undergrad in Kinesiology and spending one summer studying yoga in India. As much as I loved learning and University, I was a bit of a nomad. I took semesters off here and there to travel the world, and spent summers away in B.C. tree planting to fund the adventure I call the better part of my 20’s! I was fortunate to be able to return to the University of Saskatchewan and complete my Masters in Physical Therapy.

I have now been working as a Physiotherapist for three years, and love it! After completing my schooling, I worked in Saskatoon managing an intensive high needs caseload.

Here I was able to gain valuable skill while I pursued additional training completing my Level 1 and 2 courses, largely based on McKenzie principles of treatment for both neck and low back, as well completing education in New Trends in the Prevention of Running Injuries, Neuro Orthopaedic Institute’s – Explain Pain, Acupuncture Canada’s Level 1 and 2, and EPIC’s Functional Capacity Evaluation courses. I’ve since moved North to be closer to family, thank goodness Alta-Sask exists allowing me to have the best of both worlds; being able to explore the North while working together with a highly skilled team helping patients regain their function and life! I would like to thank everyone for the warmest of welcomes to Cold Lake, both from the community and from the team at Alta-Sask Wellness. Thank you all very much!
