Claudia brings to Body Restoration her experience and love for pelvic health. She graduated in physiotherapy 22 years ago in Brazil, and has been working for Alberta Health Services for the past 16 years in a variety of settings such as Home Care and the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. More recently, Claudia has joined the Lois Hole Hospital for Women.
She has experience working with neurologic, cardiorespiratory, geriatrics and musculoskeletal population. Claudia specialized in Pelvic Health therapy, completing her certification in Toronto with Nelly Faghani (Pelvic Health Solutions) and the Clinical Mentorship Integrated Systems Model with Diane Lee in Vancouver. Claudia wants to help women and men with pelvic girdle concerns, including chronic sacroiliac and coccyx pain, prenatal and postnatal lower back and general pelvic pain, constipation, incontinence, pre/post-prostatectomy and sexual dysfunction. She has experience treating gastrointestinal dysfunctions, such as IBS and IBD. She uses many techniques such as visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy, hypopressives core exercises, dermoneuromodulation, dry needling and acupuncture. She recently started the Neural Manipulation curriculum from the Barral Institute to enhance treatment of the nervous system.
In her personal time, Claudia enjoys traveling, sports (swimming, cycling, running, alpine skiing, SUP and scuba diving), crafts, spending time with her son, and helping her community with volunteer work and teaching. Claudia is looking forward to helping you achieve your functional goals and manage chronic pelvic pain.
