After obtaining a degree in Bachelor’s of Science (BSc) in Biochemistry at the University of Winnipeg, she pursued a Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy (MScPT) from the University of Alberta.
Laudina practised in various physiotherapy clinical settings in Alberta for years before relocating to practice in Ottawa. With a wealth of expertise, built over several years of experience, Laudina has assessed and treated a diverse range of injuries, including musculoskeletal and athletic injuries, pre and post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological and pelvic floor dysfunction, and more.
Having benefited from Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy firsthand during pregnancy and postpartum, Laudina has a particular interest in managing Pelvic Floor Dysfunction which encompasses several conditions such as: Urinary Incontinence, Overactive Bladder, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Pelvic Pain, Vaginismus, Dyspareunia, Diastasis Recti, Pregnancy Postpartum related conditions and Pelvic/lower back dysfunction.
Laudina is of the opinion that evidence-based therapy, coupled with exercise therapy and hands-on treatment, is crucial for ensuring optimal patient recovery. This belief propelled her to practice at TheraTouch Physiotherapy, where one-on-one therapeutic treatments that are evidence-based and hands-on are administered in a safe and compassionate environment.
Her treatment philosophy combines several methods of treatment such as manual therapy techniques, personalized treatment plans, patient education as well as modalities to treat both the underlying cause and symptoms of a patient’s condition.
Her objective is to establish a productive partnership between the patient and therapist to identify the patient’s goals and to restore optimal body, function, as well as enhance their quality of life.
As a mother and a wife, Laudina cherishes spending quality time with her young son and husband. In her leisure time, she enjoys discovering novel dining venues, particularly those with spicy cuisine, taking strolls, and indulging in movies and TV series.
