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 this, 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. 

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 is also certified in Biomedical Dry Needling (IMS). 

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.

Within weeks she had me back to running!

“I have rolled my ankles quit a few times over the past 2 years leading to swollen ankles to the point it hurt to stand for long periods of time and decided to make an appointment with Physiotherapist, Sandy Wilson. After the first visit, I had full confidence in her and within weeks she had me back to running!”
