Nancy Rutherford, PT
About Nancy
Their own wordsNancy holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology from UBC and her Masters of Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta. Nancy grew up in Calgary and was an avid dancer for more than a decade, practicing in tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical, and modern styles. Her love of dance was one of the primary reasons she pursued Physiotherapy, and she is excited to now be able to get back into the dance community in a new way.
Nancy managed the Vancouver General Hospital Falls Prevention clinic for 2 years. Here she found a passion for working with geriatric populations and for showing people how dramatically exercise can improve quality of life.
Nancy also currently works as part of the Physiotherapy team for the Calgary Canucks rugby club, where she gets to assess and treat sport-related injuries and help players get back to the game as quickly and safely as possible.
Nancy loves working with a variety of populations, from experienced movers to those totally new to exercise. She loves teaching people to connect with their bodies through movement and help people to live pain-free and strong.
When she’s not in clinic, you can find Nancy taking long walks with her dog at the dog park, taking barre and pilates classes, and getting outdoors as much as possible.

Chronic Pain AssessmentNew patient
“Struggling with Chronic Pain? We know chronic pain is a different beast. It requires a different type of assessment and treatment that often cannot be accommodated for in a regular clinic. We want to allow extra time to hear your story and give you a customized treatment plan that will be appropriate for you and your pain levels. We want enough time for patient education and to start you back into moving safely and in a supported way. Quite often the body will be afraid to move- or forget how to move properly. We can use clinical pilates as a way of helping re-train the nervous system and the body to start moving again.”Clinical Pilates AssessmentNew patient
