Meet Kara
Kara is a physiotherapist and co-owner at Nova who loves helping people understand their bodies, move with more confidence, and enjoy life.
She has a special interest in hypermobility and complex chronic conditions, but also enjoys treating a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns especially the neck, shoulders, hips, and people who want to stay active and keep doing what they love. She works with everyone from people who are just starting to reintroduce movement into their lives, to recreational and competitive athletes such as runners, golfers, CrossFit and Hyrox athletes.
Kara completed her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (with Great Distinction) and her Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Saskatchewan, where she received the award for the highest aggregate grade in her graduating class across academic and clinical courses. She has additional training biomedical dry needling, cervical and thoracic manipulation, strength and conditioning in rehabilitation, and functional range conditioning, giving her a broad toolkit to support both complex and performance-based rehabilitation.
She works best with people who are curious about their health and are willing to take an active role in their care. Her approach blends hands-on treatment, exercise therapy, and education so you feel more confident managing your body long term.
You’ll usually find her with a coffee in hand anywhere she goes! She loves reading in the sunshine but is often running, golfing, playing soccer or out adventuring with her dog Achilles. She also serves as Vice Chair of the Warman Community Library Board and is actively involved in her community.
