Sandra Van Nest, BScPT

Registered Physiotherapist

Sandra has been working as a physiotherapist since 1993.  Sandra has spent most of her career working with the neurological population with a primary focus on stroke rehabilitation. She took her basic Bobath, several advanced Bobath and NDT courses as part of her post-graduate continuing education. In 2013, Sandra joined the Acquired Brain Injury Outpatient Program to help support this growing area of practice. Since joining the team, Sandra has completed training on Vestibular Rehabilitation and Anatomical Acupuncture.  “I love working on a team that is on the leading edge of management and treatment of post-concussion syndrome.  It is exciting to be part of the research and treatment initiatives.” One initiative that Sandra has been involved with supporting is the BrainEx90 Group. This is a combined occupational therapy and physiotherapy group for people who are still experiencing symptoms after a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury. “The group has been highly successful so far for most and the peer support observed is hugely valuable to their emotional recovery.”
