Becca Tanner, PT, MScPT

Hi, I’m Becca! I’m a physiotherapist and the owner of Concept Physiotherapy. I provide mobile, in-home physiotherapy services throughout Calgary.

I have worked in a wide variety of settings as a physiotherapist, with most of my experience in neurological rehabilitation. I have experience working with the Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured (ARBI), with the AHS stroke and brain injury Early Supported Discharge team, and with Carewest’s Dr Vernon Fanning Centre neuro rehab unit, among others. I have worked with stroke and brain injury clients, clients with Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis, clients navigating recent amputations, clients with spinal cord injury, clients recovering post joint replacement or other major surgery, and clients facing functional decline due to age, chronic conditions, injury, illness or hospitalization.

 

I received a Master of Science in Physical Therapy degree from the University of Alberta, where I completed several times the required hours in neurological rehabilitation clinical placements, and was awarded a scholarship for my performance in neurological rehabilitation courses and placements.

 

I have also completed several post graduate professional development courses to expand my expertise. These include: LSVT BIG certification (for Parkinson’s), advanced wheelchair skills training, NDT courses (general and upper extremity), motivational interviewing, supported communication for adults with aphasia, concussion management, and FAME (Fitness and Mobility Exercise) instructor certification.

 

I have been instrumental in starting up the first in-person FAME group exercise classes in Alberta for clients living with the effects of stroke. I have also been involved with the University of Alberta physical therapy program in performing skill assessments for their adult neurology course over the past couple of years.

 

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading. But that's more than enough about me! I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals.
