ON Tracy Blame Diploma [email protected] I've loved sport all my life. I started working in sport in a rehabilitation context in 2000, as a student athletic trainer for Etobicoke, ON the varsity Football and Women's Basketball teams at McMaster University while completing my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. Since completing my physiotherapy degree in 2004, I have worked across the sport spectrum, including (but not limited to) community level rugby and Australian Rules Football, CIS women's soccer and basketball, with the Senior, U18/19, and U16/17 Women's Basketball teams at Canada Basketball, Skate Canada, and multi-sport games (i.e., 2015 and 2017 Canada Games, the 2015 Pan Am Games, and 2017 North American Indigenous Games). In addition to trying to keep my skills sharp and challenging them by getting involved with athletes from different sports and at different points in their athletic careers, I have tried to grow my own skills and the value I can provide the athletes that I work with. I was certified by the Canadian Acupuncture Foundation Institute of Canada (now Acupuncture Canada) and completed my Master of Clinical Science in Manipulative Science and became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2009. Most recently, I completed my PhD in Kinesiology (Sports Medicine) at the University of Calgary Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre, where my focus was physical activity and concussion in youth ice hockey. In addition to concussion prevention and rehabilitation, I spend a lot of time working with knee and ankle injuries, and, increasingly, shoulder injuries.
