Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. By promoting blood flow and accelerating the body's natural healing process, shockwave therapy can provide rapid relief from pain and improve your overall function. Unlike surgery or medication, this innovative treatment offers a safe and effective alternative with minimal side effects and downtime.

If you're suffering from chronic pain or struggling to recover from a sports injury, shockwave therapy could be the solution you've been searching for. Whether you're dealing with tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or shoulder impingement, our experienced physiotherapists will tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual needs.

Whether you are looking to race the Tour Divide, climb provincial or national rankings, are a weekend warrior, or simply want to commute more comfortably and ride pain-free, a professional bike fit performed by a Registered Physiotherapist can help to get you there. During your fit, a physical assessment will be performed both on and off of your bike. Your goals and riding style will be discussed and we can decide what changes to your bike can be made for improved success and comfort.

Please bring your bicycle, pedals, shoes, a water bottle, and your normal cycling clothing to the fit. Tighter fitting clothing allows more accurate measurement with our motion capture camera. If you have more than one saddle or stem that you are considering, please bring those as well. Cyclists with aerobars or integrated handlebars should bring any extra pieces or adapters they own to allow position changes. Cyclists with full suspension mountain bikes should bring their normal clothing and gear they will use on the trail including repair kits and full hydration packs, as weight affects suspension sag, and thus saddle placement.

If any additional parts are required, we will give you measurements and part recommendations to help complete your set up. Further physiotherapy follow-ups may also be beneficial to help improve function and performance on the bike. Have any questions or concerns? Feel free to get in touch by email info@ridgelinephysio.com or phone at 778-561-2272.

** Extended health insurance plans vary but may cover up to 100% of this fee under Physiotherapy services. Please check with your insurance company for coverage **

Jenn Baardseth

MScPT, BScKin Registered Physiotherapist, Ridgeline Physio She/Her

Hello! I’m Jenn and I am a physiotherapist at Ridgeline Physio. I was born and raised in Calgary, and moved to British Columbia in 2011 to completed my Bachelor in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria. Following this, I worked as a Rehabilitation Assistant in Whitehorse for three years, before returning to British Columbia to complete my Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia as a part of the first northern cohort in Prince George. My approach utilizes manual therapy techniques, active strategies, and evidence-based education to reduce pain, improve movement, and prevent further injury. I have gravitated to treating concussions and vestibular disorders, amongst any orthopedic injury. I have completed my Level 1 course in Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from the Canadian Division of Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Therapy. I am a Level 2 Provider with Shift Concussion Management, and have received extensive vestibular training.

With a previous and current history as a high-level athlete, I understands what it takes to rehabilitate an injury and successfully return to the sport and activities that you love. I am keen to work with individuals from all walks of life to help them achieve their personal recovery goals.

Outside of work, I am an avid mountain biker, trail runner, xc skier, snowboarder/split-boarder, climber, and anything involving the mountains! With this, I have experienced my fair share of injuries and concussions, and have gained valuable insight into the physical, emotional, and social implications that result from these. I am looking forward to helping you reach all of your rehabilitation goals!

My primary areas of focus are helping individuals with:

Orthopedic injury rehabilitation

Concussion rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation

Bike Fitting

IMS

TMJ (Jaw) Physiotherapy

Working with athletes

Strength and conditioning programming

Injury prevention programming

Emily Fisher MScPT, BSc

MScPT, BScKin Registered Physiotherapist Owner, Ridgeline Physiotherapy

I completed my Master’s of Physiotherapy at McMaster University and my BSc at the University of Victoria. Although originally from Ontario, I have always loved the mountains, and am so excited to call Fernie my home! As a multisport athlete, I understand the demands of various sports including mountain biking, skiing, field sports such as soccer, field hockey and rugby, hiking/mountaineering, whitewater paddling, and rock climbing. I have competed as a member of the Canadian National Cycling Team representing in Mountain Biking, the University of Victoria Women’s Field Hockey Team, and represented Ontario in Mountain Biking, Alpine Skiing, and Field Hockey. As a previous elite athlete, I have a strong understanding of the demands of sport and how to tailor rehabilitation to the goals of the individual. As a coach and previous outdoor educator, I have a passion for education that enables me to help individuals understand their body and meet their unique needs. I believe in an active approach to rehab, and approach rehab through a lens of strength and conditioning programming.

I have a particular interest in working with athletes, older adults, those experiencing chronic pain, people interested in fall prevention programs, individuals with complex medical histories, and any individual who is ready to take an active approach to rehab. In addition to treating orthopedic injuries, I treat people who are having vestibular and concussion-related symptoms. I have a strong interest in injury prevention, and I look forward to helping you reduce your risk of future injury. I believe education and exercise are the foundations of rehabilitation, and I use this to tailor treatment plans to meet your unique needs. I look forward to exploring these with you and empowering you to return to the activities you love.

I believe everyone regardless of age, race, gender, medical history, or physical ability has the right to engage with life in the way that they desire. My goal is to support you in reaching your goals and helping you develop and execute a plan to get you there.

Outside work, you can find me in the mountains! I love to hike, mountaineer, mountain bike, ski (both on resort and in the backcountry!) whitewater paddle, climb, and trail run. I love to travel, and recently returned from trekking for 6 weeks in Nepal. Ask me about my adventures outside and I will always have a new story for you!

I run injury prevention workshops with teams and clubs, if you are interested in running a workshop in person or virtually please reach out to us at the clinic!

I look forward to meeting you! See you out in the mountains!
