Nora Martires, PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Nora. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Physical Therapy in Philippines, year 2001. I specialized in working with Seniors. My passion in working with Geriatrics started in 2005 when I came to Canada to work as a live in caregiver to a senior, it was a rewarding and fulfilling experience as the senior was able to stay at home for several years under my care while ensuring that she was treated with compassion, dignity and respect in her last years. This inspired me to pursue my license to become a licensed Physiotherapist in Canada.
Over 16yrs of my career, I have worked in different long term care facilities, in a day support program, and an acute care hospital. I have vast experience in dealing with dementia, various neurological, orthopaedic conditions and fall prevention strategies to assist with the frail elderly. I have excellent knowledge of providing exercise programs for balance, flexibility and strengthening exercises.
In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends going for walks, biking and camping. I would love to hear your stories and how can I help you!
Nora is currently serving St. Albert and West Edmonton. Contact Nora at [email protected] or 780-851-8897 Extension 128.
