Stacey holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy with Distinction from the University of Alberta (1993). After a few years of general orthopedic practice, she became more interested in hands and their complex healing pattern and so joined the Foothills Hospital Hand Clinic team. She obtained her designation as a Certified Hand Therapist in 1998 and was the second therapist in Calgary to do so. Stacey is still one of very few CHTs in private practice in Alberta and her practice is focused on treating only injuries to the wrist and hand. She sees all types of patients including athletic injuries, arthritis management, post-trauma, and repetitive strain injury. Stacey's treatment plan may include splinting when appropriate (custom or off the shelf), and patient education and a home program are always the foundation of care.
Stacey is an active mentor to physiotherapists wanting to learn more about treating hands and has set up the Hand Therapy team here at Group23. She is also a resource of other therapists in the Calgary area and enjoys teaching. She has worked closely with many Calgary hand surgeons over the years and networks with other health professionals when necessary to provide the best care possible for each client.
Stacey is a native Calgarian and bilingual graduate of Western Canada High School. Her former competitive hockey player and figure skater are now flown from the nest, so she is transitioning from her life of being a busy rink mom!
