About Kara
Kara grew up in Eastern Ontario in the small city of Brockville. Being heavily involved in athletics including soccer, basketball, badminton, volleyball and softball from early childhood, it came as no surprise to anyone that she pursue a degree in the study of human movement.
After completing her degree in Kinesiology at McMaster, Kara went on to complete a Masters’s degree in Physiotherapy at McMaster and graduated in 2004. She has spent the last fifteen years working in orthopedics, home care, community pediatrics, school health services and private pediatrics. Kara’s passion has always been working with children. In 2010 she began her pursuit for pediatrics by taking courses, shadowing pediatric physiotherapists and accepting short term pediatric contracts. In 2014 after two years working in community pediatrics and recognizing a demand for pediatric physiotherapy services, she made the decision to start a home-based private pediatric practice PhysiO’Kids and has operated it ever since.
Kara is also a faculty member at the McMaster School of Rehabilitation Science. As an adjunct professor, she is part of the team running the Paediatric Elective for for second year McMaster Physiotherapy students.
