Alex also works out of Vancouver General Hospital, where she sees burn and trauma patients. Her professional experience includes both private practice and hospital settings across a wide range of upper-extremity populations, including burns, trauma, amputees, orthopaedics, and neurological rehabilitation. She further honed her splinting and clinical decision-making in fast-paced plastics and orthopaedic surgery clinics while managing a complex clinical caseload.

Alex provides custom splinting and hands-on manual therapy, with personalised treatment programs that emphasise pain self-management and improved function, and consider the patient as a whole. She is also trained in manual edema mobilization and can assist with the management of post-operative and chronic edema (swelling), as well as measure for custom burn compression garments (with a referral from your plastic surgeon)  

Outside of work, Alex stays active by playing soccer and rock climbing, and enjoys helping other athletes return to sport after hand and upper-extremity injuries. She also plays guitar and enjoys live music.
