Dr. Caitlyn Charteris completed her undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with Honours at the University of Saskatchewan. She went on to receive her Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.
Dr. Charteris treatments consist of a diversified approach involving manual adjustments, myofascial release therapy (MRT), rehab exercises, and most importantly patient education. She believes in empowering her patients to take control of their own health and wellness and together they can achieve their health and fitness goals. Additionally, Dr. Charteris is a certified SMART tools provider (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), and certified in Functional Integrated Acupuncture.
Dr. Charteris is from a small town in Saskatchewan, where she enjoyed a variety of different sports. While attending university she found a love for CrossFit and competitive cheerleading. While she is retired from competitive cheerleading, she still workouts regularly and is a CrossFit Level 1 coach at CrossFit Sherwood Park.
I believe massage therapy is key in aiding in injury prevention/rehabilitation and athletic performance. Regular massage therapy treatments can help with proper body alignment and biomechanics, improve joint mobility and muscle function, and can contribute to overall better health.
I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy Toronto and have been working as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2016. I also have a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree from the University of Alberta.
I also work at the Glen Sather Sports Medicine Clinic, and I am the Head Registered Massage Therapist for the University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas Track and Field Team.
