Heather Hagspihl

I am a compassionate, driven, diligent, and experienced Biokineticist. After working in a practice for six months, I subsequently started two of my own successful practices. Later I started running a gym concurrently. I have worked with a range of clients from professional soccer players to geriatrics in retirement homes. I have a passion to help people and improve their activities of daily living. I am logical, adaptable, and meticulous and thus enjoy challenging and dynamic environments, striving to always learn more and improve myself. I have strong administrative and communication skills. I thrive working closely with other healthcare professionals to assess patient’s needs and devise suitable treatment plans. I have a passion for sport and have thus amongst other sporting achievements completed two Comrades Marathons (90km) and two, Two Oceans Ultra Marathons (56km) – I enjoy pushing myself as I strive to keep achieving my personal and professional goals.
