Edmonton PHYSIOTHERAPIST
MEET KAYLA Clarke!
Kayla Clarke (Nguyen) is a physiotherapist who is extremely passionate about what she does. Although you will be just one-on-one with her, you can expect an energetic and vibrant environment.
Growing up on the east coast of Canada playing everything from competitive hockey, to soccer, to softball – she is no stranger to a wide variety in sports (and sport injuries!). On top of that, she completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at Memorial University of Newfoundland, followed up by completing her MSc. PT in Glasgow, Scotland, before moving back home to Canada. Present day, Kayla LOVES to travel (I’ve been fortunate enough to cross 23 countries and counting), spending a lot of time hiking, camping, or snowboarding in the Canadian rockies, trying to crush some workouts at, drinking coffee and enjoying some delicious local beer (maybe even bringing along her husband and her dog!)
Edmonton PHYSIOTHERAPIST
MEET Lewis Anderson!
Lewis Anderson is a physiotherapist who fell in love with movement, health and fitness at a young age. Through his experience with gymnastics, a bachelor degree of science in kinesiology and a masters degree in physiotherapy, he knows first hand how an injury/pain/dysfunction can interfere with life. Given the opportunity, he would love to get to know you as a person and help with whatever brought you through the door.
When away from the clinic, you may find Lewis falling gracefully while snowboarding, losing repeatedly at spikeball, rock climbing routes that are too difficult and lifting a weight or two in the gym. Recently, he has started to put a few miles under his trail running shoes and likes to hike up things with a lot of incline. Don’t be shy, say hi if you see him in the clinic and don’t hesitate to ask him a question.

MEET ERICA VARGO!

She has completed advanced training in all areas of pelvic health including pain, incontinence, prolapse, urgency, muscle imbalances and the peripartum woman. She integrates her love of novel movement, manual therapy and pain science into her treatments, looking at the whole person, not just the anatomy. Erica completed her Bachelor of Science with honours before completing her Master of Science in physical therapy, both at the University of Saskatchewan.
Born and raised in Saskatchewan – she loves all types of physical activity (fun fact – she is also a certified yoga teacher), travelling, cooking all kinds of fun food, and being a mom to her two awesome young boys!
