Susan Massitti is happiest helping others and is passionate to empower people to be aware of and to connect to their body,
to prevent injuries, to heal and to move optimally. She provides a wealth of knowledge, innovative and integrative solutions
and strategies to stimulate the body’s innate wisdom to heal.
Our role as physiotherapists is ultimately to work in collaboration with you (and other professionals) to restore your physical
wellness. Injuries and pain can challenge our physical and emotional capacities. This is as true for a soccer player experiencing
a knee injury, as for a parent who is dealing with chronic neck or back pain. Susan’s expertise has helped many, including Olympic
and recreational athletes, musicians, parents and professionals restore their health.
Susan is a skilled clinician and educator. She instructs at the Advanced Coaching Diploma at the Canadian Sport Institute
Calgary and at UBC Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation post graduate training. Susan was privileged to learn acupuncture from the
gifted Dr Aung, which she integrates into her treatments. Susan is a “student of movement,” and shares her expertise as a
Classical Pilates teacher, her participation in numerous activities and sports (Susan competed in the 1988 Nagano Winter
Olympics in long track speed skating), and all that she has learned from coaches and students.
Her credentials include:
- Clinical Specialist in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
- Medical Acupuncture
- UBC Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation
- Sport Physiotherapy Diploma
- Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy
- Classical Pilates Instructor
Susan has been honored to work at a multitude of international sporting events, including three Summer Olympics, two Winter
Olympics (including the first ever 2012 Youth Winter Olympics) as well as numerous World Championships and Cups. Susan
competed in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics in long track speed skating.
