  • "Go see Brooke! I found Brooke and FMA when I was struggling to walk without being in pain. She has helped me manage and strengthen around injuries old and new which has confidently put me back in my happy place, running in the trails for hours. Her knowledge, attitude and approach is top tier. If I could give more stars, I would."

    Mike D.

  • “I’ve worked with a lot of practitioners over the years, but the kinesiologists at Fernwood are in a league of their own. They have a remarkable gift for unlocking movement in conditions that are genuinely complex — and they do it with real attentiveness and skill. Deeply grateful.”

    Charlie U.

  • “Brooke and Isabel have made a huge difference to my health after a prolonged knee injury. Not only are the muscles stronger and more stable, they have helped me overcome some psychological barriers to movement. It’s been heartening to see and feel results.”

    Erin D.

  • “The ladies at FMA have been extremely helpful! After years of not taking care of my body, I finally sought out help which was much needed. They were able to fix my messed up hip which let me get back to lifting the way I used to. Would recommend and looking forward to my next appointment!”

    Cody G.

  • “I was in a rough place physically when I first showed up to my movement assessment. Brooke welcomed me with open arms and turned me from a life with pain during activities to being BC fit and able to enjoy the outdoors again. I can’t put into words how empowered I feel after working with Brooke.”
