Alana is the head therapist and founder of GPFT. She identifies as a problem solver. She often sees clients who are frustrated after trying several types of treatment and not fully recovering, or having recurring pain.
Alana was initially an Athletic Therapist, and subsequently a Registered Massage Therapist. This combination of skills gives her the perspective and ability to assess and treat complex and chronic conditions to find a solution. She offers individual appointments, beginning with a detailed history and assessment to get to the bottom of each client’s concerns. Alana’s treatments are goal-oriented, and patient-centred to make sure that her clients feel heard, validated, and in charge of their own recovery.
While the majority of Alana’s clients are active adults with lingering or chronic injuries, she is also passionate about rapid and safe return to play and work after an acute injury—to avoid having to see them later!
Alana founded Guelph Performance in 2015 after working at a series of larger clinics that did not offer the time or one-on-one therapist interaction to truly help her clients. She has created an environment with a team of therapists who share the same ideals and dedicate the time and effort to each individual client to help them achieve their goals.
