Hatty Skinner, MPT, BSc
Physiotherapist


Hatty completed her Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of Manitoba, where she took a keen interest in ACL-Reconstruction rehab. Prior to her Masters, she studied Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. Hatty graduated with honours and wrote her honours thesis on the benefits of outdoor exercise.

Hatty strives to provide the most effective, evidence-based treatments currently available, and coaches her patients to be active participants in their recovery. She believes the best way to help her patients is through tailoring treatment around their goals, and does so with manual therapy, exercise, and pain education. She’s passionate about treating all populations but holds a special interest in runners, climbers, and foot/ankle injuries. 

Hatty is passionate about lifelong learning and education. Since graduating she has taken courses in Foundations of Pain Science, and Running Gait Analysis, and completed her Level 1 exam in Orthopaedic Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy.

Hatty grew up in the small town of Kincardine, Ontario, but has called Victoria home since graduating. When she isn’t at the clinic, she’s likely to be somewhere on the island exploring, camping, stand-up paddleboarding, or starting a new craft project.

Both soothing and informative

“Stephanie is wonderful! Her personality is both soothing and informative. She fit me in early and I feel 100% better just a few hours later.”

I look forward to my appointments

“Lena is the best! I had a difficult time finding a physiotherapist I could click with and would listen to my concerns. Now I look forward to my appointments and the positive environment the entire clinic brings. She is extremely talented in what she does, and I can’t recommend her enough. The outcome, and care provided is beyond exceptional. The receptionist team is always there to help and bring a positive attitude and very understanding to my needs and schedule. Thank you Lena, and the entire Arbutus Health Centre team!”
