Kennedy Tralnberg, MScPT, BScKin
Physiotherapist
Kennedy received her Master’s in Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta, where she was a three-time Alberta Graduate Excellence Scholarship award recipient. Kennedy also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with Distinction from the University of Alberta and is a CSEP-Certified Personal Trainer.
Kennedy has had the unique opportunity to work with patients of all ages, sporting backgrounds, and walks of life in several private practice physiotherapy clinics, at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, and as a researcher in scoliosis rehabilitation.
Kennedy strives to provide comprehensive, tailored physiotherapy sessions with a balance of therapeutic exercise and hands-on treatment that is always informed by the latest research. Patient education will be emphasized throughout every stage of your rehabilitation journey so that you are never left guessing. Kennedy is especially interested in concussion and vestibular physiotherapy, sports rehabilitation, and working with adolescent and youth populations.
Kennedy recently relocated to Victoria from Edmonton, Alberta, and, as a lover of travel, is looking for new adventures on the island. When she’s not focused on physiotherapy, you might find her working as a firefighter fitness tester, coaching junior curlers, or volunteering in cancer care. She enjoys game nights with family and friends and all things outdoors or active – golfing, hiking, snowboarding, curling, Irish dancing, volleyball – you name it!
Kennedy hopes to see you in the clinic and is committed to supporting your recovery and success lasting far beyond your time at Arbutus.
Everything I could have asked for
“My experience at Arbutus Physiotherapy was everything I could have asked for. The receptionists were always so kind and welcoming whenever I came through the door, and they were easy to communicate with. I was never intimidated or unsure when interacting with them. Whenever I would call the reception, I was consistently greeted with a warm hello, and the people I spoke to were respectful and understanding if I needed to change something and were sure to communicate effectively if I needed to know anything. The centre was always clean and they made sure to follow COVID guidelines well. I came here looking for support for my left shoulder and hip after an accident, and my physiotherapist Connor was an absolute dream! From the beginning I felt comfortable working with him as he is not afraid to be himself, which really helped ease my nerves. Throughout the whole process Connor was so clear about what we were doing and why, as well as how it benefited my body. He was able to give me an estimate on how long our work together would take, but was very flexible in this. I am a student so he also gave me tips on how to care for my body through hours of studying, which I really appreciated. When doing physical stretches and exercises, Connor made sure I was comfortable and consistently made sure they were effective, and adjusted when they were not. Anytime I asked a question he would answer it with no problem at all, being sure to explain everything clearly and he would always make sure that I understood what he was saying even if I didn’t ask (this really helped because I can be anxious about asking to clarify something, and I can just end up not asking at all). On top of this, Connor was SO SO easy to talk to, and he has quite possibly the best collection of patterned short sleeve button ups I have ever seen. TL;DR I would highly recommend coming here :)”

Flexible and thorough
“I contacted Arbutus Physio in desperation for a last-minute appointment while visiting from out of town due to significant pain. Josh accepted me for a same-day appointment and did a thorough assessment and treatment that left me feeling MUCH better immediately. Obviously, healing takes time and I’ll need to continue once I return home, but Josh’s willingness to see me on short notice and get me started so I can enjoy the rest of my trip has been greatly appreciated! Thank you, Josh!”
