Clarice's physiotherapy practice include clients with dizziness, vertigo or unsteadiness, muscle/joint problems and clients with post concussion symptoms. For treatment, she uses up to date vestibular/concussion rehabilitation clinical practice guidelines,  significant education, manual therapy skills, taping and exercise prescription. In her 30 years of practice, she has worked with skilled athletes, weekend warriors, accident survivors and those living with persistent pain or  dizziness/balance/unsteadiness issues. She sees changes possible when clients feel comfortable in learning to help themselves with a therapist's guidance.
