INSTIL PHYSIO
At Instil Physio, I use physiotherapy and education to empower and support female athletes in achieving their health and sport performance goals. By combining sports medicine, pelvic health, neurofunctional acupuncture, and female athlete health, we provide a foundation for the comprehensive care of every athlete that I work with.
Females have unique needs and physiology, which must be understood and incorporated into their health, rehab and training. Puberty, pregnancy, postpartum peri-menopause, and menopause are experiences that are unique to women and have an effect on health, injuries, training and performance. With the right support and education, women can thrive throughout their lifetime participating in fitness and sport.
My ultimate goal is to advance females in sport and create lifelong athletic participation. I strive for excellence in my practice and can provide you with the tools you need to reach your health and sport performance goals, at any age or stage of life.
MORE ABOUT MICAELA ZETTEL
I’ve been studying Human Kinetics, physiology, and Sports Performance for the past 20 years and worked as a physiotherapist in a variety of settings, including with NHL players, OHL hockey teams, elite gymnastics clubs and soccer teams, stroke clinics, cardiac outpatient rehabilitation clinics, children treatment centers, amputee rehab and geriatrics. I’ve helped youth, adults, moms and seniors with physiotherapy, health and rehabilitation so they can move their bodies in ways that prevent injury and promote confidence and health.
I also studied with Julie Wiebe, a talented Physical Therapist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopedics at the University of Michigan-Flint Physical Therapy program. Julie’s work has deeply inspired the work of She Moves and Julie and I share the same vision of helping female athletes have access to the information they need to stay active and in sports for life.
Additionally, I’m a lifelong learner who is dedicated to expanding my practice and knowledge. In 2016, I became a Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Provider and was trained at McMaster Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program and I am now an instructor, teaching others in the program. I’m also a Neurofunctional Sports Performance Practitioner and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist NSCA. I recently completed a Masters of Clinical Science, Advance Health Care Practice in Sport and Exercise Medicine with the University of Western Ontario. My goal is to continue to study Sport and Exercise Medicine for female athletes and partner with educational institutions to contribute to the field of Female Sports Medicine.
In 2016 I opened my own practice, Instil Physio, focused on female athletes and have since helped elite athletes rehabilitate injuries, develop strong functional movement patterns and optimize their health, so they can participate in any sport or fitness activity they want and feel confident and healthy.
