Physiotherapy Clinical Mentorship

Tracy has been an active physiotherapist in the Vancouver community for over 25 years. She helped open and run clinics such as Seva, Salus and Balance Physiotherapy, but has opted to step out of the ownership role and focus on her clinical practice by joining us at Envision Physiotherapy. Tracy holds a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMT) and trained under Dr. Chan Gunn to be a licensed Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) practitioner.

Tracy has worked as a physiotherapist for the National Ballet of Canada, Vancouver rugby teams, the BC Winter games, Vancouver Marathons, multiple Sun Runs and for a number of junior elite golfers. She also enjoys being involved in education and mentorship and works part-time as a clinical skills assistant and adjunct clinical professor in the Masters’ physiotherapy program at the University of British Columbia.

Tracy has been involved in sports all her life and continues to enjoy a variety of activities, including squash, tennis, golf and running as well as being a regular in the gym.

“I strongly believe that maintaining an active lifestyle is a major contributor to our long-term health and happiness. As a keen recreational athlete, and having had my own fair share of significant injuries I can empathize with the pain and the frustration that goes along with this. When injury, pain or illness, limit our ability to move well, our health is compromised. That’s why physiotherapy is an integral part of healthcare and my main goal is to help guide you back to the activities you enjoy and that keep you healthy.”

Please note that Anna will be away from Oct 1st - Oct 22nd

Anna Hudon-Kaide is a registered physiotherapist with a passion for helping people with pelvic floor dysfunction. She assesses and treats pelvic health conditions such as bladder and bowel control problems, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intercourse, and other genital pain conditions. She is equally passionate about treating perinatal pelvic pain such as pubic symphysis, SI joint and back pain and coccydynia (tailbone pain).

Anna obtained a Master of Health Sciences in Physiotherapy from the University of Ottawa in 2018, and has completed post-graduate training in pelvic floor rehabilitation. Prior to this, she attended the University of Alberta, where she earned a Bachelor of Sciences degree.

As an orthopedic practitioner, Anna came to realize how many patients have common concerns related to pelvic health. She also noticed that patients were often too embarrassed to seek advice, or simply unaware that treatment is available. She feels an important part of her work is to help shed the stigma of pelvic health concerns and assist people in optimizing the health and function of their pelvic floor, enabling them to fully engage in all aspects of their lives with comfort and joy.

Anna is also fluent in French and Japanese!

In her personal time Anna enjoys running and camping. She’s new to Vancouver and excited to learn how to sail.
