Tamara Oakley BSc.,MScPT, IMS

Tamara grew up in the town of Ladner, BC and came to Lake Country in pursuit of its outdoor lifestyle and incredible community. She graduated from the Masters of Physical Therapy program at UBC and spent many years as a fitness instructor before entering the world of physiotherapy; you will likely still catch her performing the occasional hamstring-repeater or grapevine as she moves around the Winfield clinic.

Tamara enjoys working with a variety of conditions and strives to build a connection with clients that allows a collaborative and balanced approach to their care. She likes to work with all age groups, and has a special interest in pediatrics from infants (including conditions such as torticollis and plagiocephaly) to teens.

Tamara is certified in AN-IMS (dry needling) and vestibular rehabilitation (vertigo/dizziness/balance) and is working through her manual therapy levels with the Orthopaedic Division or the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. She has also done her Pilates training (reformer levels 1 and 2) through Canada’s own Pilates Process and has pursued various areas through post-grad courses such as the shoulder and the spine.

Tamara completed her ISST Schroth certification in 2021 and she is proud to be able to bring Schroth therapy for scoliosis to the Okanagan for the first time
