Meet our team

Before opening the clinic, Keith spent three years in private practice. His path also included overseas travel and summers planting trees in British Columbia, adding some decidedly hands-on experience to his academic background.

Kettlebell training has been a major part of Keith’s work for more than two decades. He became a Russian Kettlebell certified trainer in 2002 and has taught hundreds of people. His first Extreme Kettlebell Cardio video, released in 2005, grew into a series of workouts and training programs.

Keith’s interest in movement extends well beyond the gym. In 2023, he and his daughter Jade cycled from Vancouver to Halifax with a group raising funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Red Deer. The ride brought together a substantial physical challenge, family time, and support for the community.

April and Keith opened Weber Physiotherapy in 2001. Her interests include women’s pelvic health and helping young people get involved in fitness and movement. She completed the University of Alberta’s Certificate in Medical Acupuncture in 2003 and has shared health and fitness information with local groups.

Her work also includes leading physio-yoga for adults aged 50 and older through the clinic’s Twinges for Your Hinges class. Some of her patients have four legs: April provides rehabilitation for dogs and cats, using manual therapy and prescribed exercise.

Sport has long been part of April’s life. She has worked as a trainer with the Titans Rugby team, won a provincial championship with her ringette team, and taken part in running events across Alberta. Her experience spans the treatment room, the playing field, and community movement programs.

Tessa enjoys working with a wide range of concerns, with a special interest in trauma, stress and how they affect the nervous system. An enthusiastic lifelong learner, she continues to take as many courses as her brain will accommodate, bringing curiosity, experience and a healthy sense of humour to her work.

Her approach is personal and adaptable, with room to explore what each person needs. These days, she’s balancing ongoing education with staying active and, in her words, trying to keep her perimenopausal body from imploding. She appreciates that keeping a body moving can sometimes be a project in itself.

Outside the clinic, Tessa can be found chasing her dogs and nephews or attempting to renovate her house without setting it on fire. Fun fact: she took organ lessons for 10 years, so she can cover your wedding, funeral or Doors cover band needs.

Kevin works with a broad range of musculoskeletal concerns, including back and neck pain, joint injuries, and jaw concerns. His practice also includes concussion rehabilitation, headaches, motor-vehicle and whiplash injuries, and musculoskeletal care for children. That variety gives him plenty of reasons to draw on both his physiotherapy and physical education backgrounds.

His treatment options include individualized exercise, hands-on manual therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, and shockwave therapy. His work brings together exercise-based rehabilitation and a range of hands-on treatment methods.

Kevin’s sporting background includes competitive karate and baseball, but his interests don’t stop there. Family activities have included camping, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, and both downhill and cross-country skiing. Add kettlebells, yoga, and hockey to the list, and there’s usually an activity for just about any season.

Alison enjoys treating a wide range of muscle and joint conditions and has deliberately kept her practice broad. She likes the variety of working with the whole body and understanding what each person needs. Her ongoing training includes musculoskeletal and orthopedic physiotherapy, acupuncture and trigger point dry needling.

Her treatment approach has a strong hands-on focus, drawing on experience and continued learning to tailor care to the individual. Her goal is to help people move more comfortably and work toward the activities that matter to them.

Outside the clinic, Alison enjoys workouts, hiking, biking and travelling. In what she describes as “a previous life,” she and Tessa ran the Boston Marathon together. Married with two young adult children, she spent many years supporting youth sport as both a coach and team trainer. These days, she’s still happiest with something active or a new place to explore on the calendar.

Jade earned her Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physiotherapy at the University of Brighton. Her clinical interests include persistent lower back pain, recovery after surgery, and returning to sport and activity. She also enjoys working with recreational athletes managing elbow and knee concerns. Her additional training includes acupuncture and intramuscular stimulation, or IMS.

Jade takes an individualized, hands-on approach, combining manual therapy, clear explanations, and targeted exercises. She wants patients to understand their recovery and feel involved in the process, with treatment tailored to their goals and starting point.

Outside the clinic, Jade volunteers as an assistant coach with the Red Deer Polytechnic Cross Country and Track team and enjoys triathlon, cycling, and endurance sports. In 2023, she cycled from Vancouver to Halifax with her husband, dad, and friends. Her idea of a family bike ride covers a little more ground than most.

Michael earned his kinesiology degree at McGill University, where he played varsity football, before completing his master’s in physical therapy at the University of Alberta. His background includes massage training, physically demanding jobs, and strength coaching with youth, amateur, and professional athletes. He understands that a day on the job can ask as much of a body as a day on the field.

His approach is hands-on, practical, and collaborative. Michael combines manual therapy with movement and strength work, looks beyond the sore spot, and explains the reasoning behind treatment. Patients can expect realistic goals and a plan that fits their life. No athletic résumé required.

Outside the clinic, Michael enjoys lifting, running, football, rugby, and a good book. He and his wife are also building their own home on an acreage, putting his patience and problem-solving skills to work. He’s a proud uncle who loves time with his nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Trent enjoys working with anyone willing to ask for help, with a particular interest in shoulders, low back pain, and headaches. His approach starts with getting to know the person in front of him, combining hands-on treatment, dry needling for those who are comfortable with it, and exercise to help sustain progress. He calls it getting to know someone while “moderately torturing them.” We prefer to call it physiotherapy with a sense of humour.

Outside the clinic, Trent and his wife have three boys under four, so spare time is more of a concept than a regular occurrence. When it appears, he enjoys woodworking, coed volleyball, and attempting to keep up with Keith during workplace workouts. There’s also the satisfaction of checking something off the household to-do list, occasionally followed by a Bumbu rum.

Fun fact: Trent has an identical twin brother. If he doesn’t recognize you around town, give him the benefit of the doubt.

Eric enjoys treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and working with people of all ages and backgrounds. His particular interests include the pelvis, lower extremity, and the way different parts of the body work together. He also has specialized training in assessing and treating men’s pelvic floor concerns.

His approach is hands-on, using manual therapy alongside acupuncture and dry needling when appropriate. Eric enjoys the problem-solving side of physiotherapy and helping patients understand what’s going on, how treatment can help, and how to work toward the activities they enjoy.

Outside the clinic, Eric and his wife, an athletic therapist, are raising two young boys on an acreage outside Red Deer. A former football player, he still makes time to stay active, though family life and yard projects offer plenty of competition. He enjoys building things for his family, working with his hands, and the occasional cold plunge. There’s usually a project on the go.

Since 2015, Mel has worked with Ringette Canada’s Junior National Program, travelling internationally with the team as its athletic therapist. Her field experience also includes the Red Deer Titans rugby club, Volleyball Alberta, basketball and soccer. In the clinic, she particularly enjoys working with skaters on hip mobility and core strength, as well as people dealing with concussions, neck and jaw concerns, and calf problems.

Mel combines hands-on treatment with strength and exercise programs tailored to the person in front of her. Her approach includes myofascial release, lower-body Active Release Techniques and static or dynamic cupping. She continues to build her skills through ongoing education, with additional training in concussion care, movement screening and first response.

Away from work, there’s a good chance you’ll still find Mel at a rink: playing ringette, coaching her daughter’s team or cheering on her son at hockey. Summer brings paddleboarding, swimming, sandcastles, road hockey and rollerblading with her family; winter adds outdoor skating, tobogganing and snowboarding. Keeping people active is a natural fit for someone whose own family rarely stays still.

Her interests include jaw and TMJ concerns, prenatal and postpartum care, and working with people who experience persistent pain. Her training and treatment options include deep tissue massage, myofascial release, cupping, trigger point techniques, and visceral manipulation.

Connie takes a client-focused approach, adapting each appointment to what the person needs that day. She pays attention to the areas clients want addressed while considering how to make treatment useful for their individual concerns. Alongside focused hands-on work, she values helping clients feel more relaxed.

Away from the clinic, Connie keeps busy with her kids, teaching dance, and volunteering with children’s youth theatre in Red Deer. Fishing, camping, and hiking are also favourites. Given a free day, she’s usually looking for a way to spend as much of it outdoors as possible.

Ciara trained at the Alberta Institute of Massage Therapy and developed her interest in deep tissue treatment with support from the team at Weber. She particularly enjoys working with the neck and back, and finds it rewarding to help people manage discomfort and feel more comfortable in their day-to-day lives.

Her approach centres on hands-on treatment. Getting to know people is one of her favourite parts of the job, and she appreciates a good conversation as much as the opportunity to help.

Outside the clinic, Ciara is often at the movies, planning a trip, or convincing friends and family to join her next adventure. She enjoys board games, video games, good food, and podcasts on just about anything. New hobbies tend to arrive regularly. If you need a conversation starter, ask about her latest film, movie-theatre popcorn, or why Spider-Man deserves the top superhero spot. She has thoughts.

Brooklyn’s clinical interests include sports massage and deep tissue treatment, with a particular interest in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. She enjoys working with a variety of concerns and helping each client work toward their own goals.

Her approach starts with understanding the person behind the appointment. Brooklyn develops individualized treatments using deep tissue and therapeutic techniques, with the aim of reducing discomfort, improving function, and supporting recovery. She values getting to know what each client needs rather than relying on the same treatment every time.

Outside the clinic, Brooklyn and her husband are busy with their young son. She enjoys walks, skiing, boating, slow pitch, cooking, and time with family. She’s equally happy with a busy day outdoors or a chance to relax. Travel is always a welcome topic of conversation: she loves hearing where people have been and is collecting ideas for adventures of her own.
