Pam Barkowski Hodgson,
BMRPT, FCAMPT, CAFCI, BPE, Physiotherapist
As a multi-sport athlete, Pam’s love for sports and working with people led her to pursue a degree in physical education at the University of Manitoba. There, her interest was sparked in human anatomy and biomechanics, prompting her to continue her education at the U of M, graduating as a physiotherapist in 2002. Pam continued to develop her manual therapy skills through the Canadian Orthopaedic Division, completing her diploma in manipulative and manual therapy in 2010, receiving her FCAMPT designation. Pam is also certified in acupuncture and is a Physiologic Therapeutic Yoga Instructor (a practice combining the science of physiology with the art of yoga). Pam enjoys continual learning and furthers her education taking courses in manual therapy and yoga at any opportunity.
Pam’s approach to treatment includes manual therapy, combined with myofascial release, exercise prescription and education regarding self-management. She believes in empowering patients to take an active approach in their healing.
Growing up in rural Manitoba provided Pam with opportunities to witness hard work, altruism and to be a part of many diverse teams. She enjoys giving back as a volunteer physiotherapist at Siloam Mission, through the Career Mentor Program at the U of M, and as a coach and manager for her children’s sporting teams. Taking on the role of co-owner is in alignment with Pam’s leadership skills and team-focused mindset as she strives to build a positive and efficient environment for patients and staff.
Pam is happily married and blessed to be mom to three healthy, creative and active children. She enjoys watching her kids and her garden grow, and practicing gratitude for all things in her life.
