Lynda Guerra

Who is Lynda?

With my background as an Athletic therapist and physical therapist I have always had a passion for encouraging the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to help people remain healthy and active as long as they can to meet their physical goals at all ages and not limit their potential. I enjoy getting involved in competitive sports by often volunteering to work with my children's sports team and supporting their sports events as a therapist; particularly soccer, skating, basketball and gymnastics. Outside of physiotherapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors and picking up new cooking and baking skills.
