Diane Collard, MScPT

Registered Physiotherapist

Diane has always been interested in the human body and achieved her undergraduate degree in Exercise and Health Physiology at the University of Calgary in 2003. Feeling the need for a deeper understanding of movement and rehabilitation, Diane went on to complete her Master’s in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta.

Since graduating in 2007, Diane has worked in orthopaedic private practice and has gained a wealth of experience in this area. Diane is passionate about connecting with her patients and working with them to address not only their pain, but also the root causes, thus preventing further issues in the future. She loves helping people to achieve their goals big or small - be it running a marathon, returning to work after an injury, or simply walking the block with the grandkids without pain.

Outside of work, Diane and her husband have a busy family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. They enjoy spending their downtime outdoors - cross-country skiing, mountain biking, running, hiking, dog walking and gardening.
