Brigitta Hicks

Reg. PT, MPT, BSc. Kin, AN-IMS

Brigitta (Bri) completed her Master of Physiotherapy at Western University and her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Queen’s University.

Bri grew up just outside of Algonquin Park in Ontario, and she pins her outgoing and bubbly personality to the countless hours she spent immersing herself in the outdoors and meeting new people through all walks of life. Bri’s interest in physiotherapy was sparked by her recurrent injuries and limitations in her own sporting careers. She has competed in field hockey (Queen’s University and provincial level), cross country skiing (Provincial level), track & field (provincial level), many long distance running races and an Ironman 70.3. She is currently training for her second Ironman 70.3 in Spring 2024.

When outside of the clinic, you can find Bri participating in many outdoor activities including multi day hiking and backcountry camping, weightlifting at the gym, downhill and cross country skiing, travelling, playing sports, and trying to pet every puppy she sees. She will make you feel warm and welcomed the second you step into your first appointment with her.
