Lisa Wedel, HPC Guelph Physiotherapy Fellow

Prior to earning her MSc. PT from the University of Toronto, Lisa completed an BSc. Honours in Biological Science with a concentration in French Studies from the University of Guelph. She has a passion for sports and sport rehab, given her experience as a captain of the Guelph Gryphons Varsity Women’s Volleyball Team and playing for the Varsity Blues Women’s Volleyball team during her master’s. Lisa’s interest in physical therapy started with seeing the impact it can have on others, especially on the life of my grandmother during her stroke rehab. She truly knew she wanted to be a physiotherapist once she understood how well the dynamic profession aligned with her passion for anatomy and physiology, and her longstanding commitment to improving equality for all in recreation and sports. During her sport fellowship at the HPC, Lisa is looking forward to learning from the incredible staff and giving back to the Gryphon and greater Guelph community that holds a special place in her heart.
