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.

Genuine care and passion to help

“Very positive experience with Arbutus! My husband and I see Connor Willis. He is patient, friendly and listens to all my concerns. He explains his process very well and makes sure you understand what is going on in every session. You can see his genuine care and passion to help. He helped me with my plantar fasciitis. Never imagined I would live a life with no foot pain at all. Thank you.”
