Jenny Lam

Jenny’s journey towards becoming a physiotherapist took a unique path. Having worked a number of years in a different medical profession, she was ready for a change. She discovered rehabilitation medicine through her work with oncology patients and decided to pursue physiotherapy.

Jenny provides comprehensive assessments and evidence-based treatments to help patients return to activities they enjoyed doing as quickly as possible. Her treatment approach includes educating and empowering patients to be actively involved in their recovery.  She can provide care in both English and Cantonese.

Jenny is passionate about life-long learning and continues to advance her skills through post-graduate training. She is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manual and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists (FCAMPT), an internationally-recognized designation for having completed advanced training in orthopaedic assessment and manual therapeutic treatment techniques. She has obtained the Diploma of Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. She has completed a musculoskeletal fellowship under the extensive mentorship of Clinical Specialist Jeff Begg. She is trained in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), the Mulligan Manual Therapy Concept, and is authorized to use needles and perform spinal manipulation in practice. She also has a special interest in cancer rehabilitation.

Outside of work, Jenny greatly values giving back to the community. She volunteers on a medical team abroad that provides surgeries for those with congenital hip dysplasia who cannot afford medical care. Her wide range of volunteer experience also includes organizing large non-profit initiatives, mentoring at an inner-city youth centre, coaching volleyball, and facilitating courses for the University of Alberta. Jenny loves exploring the great outdoors with her golden retriever who is in training to be a therapy dog. Jenny is active and is a sports enthusiast. She is always on the go and ready for her next adventure.
