Kate Thompson

Physiotherapist

Kate graduated from the College of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Exercise Studies (Hons) with Great Distinction. She fell in love with learning about the science of human movement while completing her undergraduate degree and was eager to continue her studies after graduation. Kate immediately applied for admission to the School of Rehabilitation Science and received her Master of Physical Therapy degree shortly after.

Kate has extensive experience in helping people of all ages continue to participate in the activities they enjoy. She enjoys helping people return to activity after injury and developing strength and conditioning programs to prevent injury. She has many interests, including building exercise programs for women during pregnancy and postpartum, working with individuals who require post-operative rehab, chronic hip pain, neck and shoulder injuries. In addition, Kate is the program lead for Peak Arthritis, an 8-week exercise program that combines education and neuromuscular training to help individuals living with Osteoarthritis manage their symptoms and delay disease progression. She feels grateful to be in a position where she can empower older adults by teaching them the fundamentals of movement and strength-training as a pain-management strategy.

Kate enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible – which is a large reason why she has made the move to Calgary! She has been loving having more opportunities to be active outside, such as hiking, Nordic skiing, snowboarding and running.
