Shari Brown is a physiotherapist, osteopathic practitioner and the sole owner of Rutland Physical Therapy, where she has been fulfilling her desire to help people improve their health and ability to enjoy life at every age.
Brown graduated from UBC with a Bachelor's in Rehabilitation Science in 1985 and completed her training in Traditional Osteopathy in 2007. Her practice focuses on osteopathic treatment for babies, children and adults.
After 30 years at the clinic, she is still treating patients aswell as functioning in a management and mentorship role for her team. When she’s not in the clinic she can be found enjoying local trails, golfing, and gardening.
Located at 104 – 145 Asher Road, Rutland Physical Therapy has been offering a holistic treatment approach to the people of Rutland for over 30 years. And they’ve felt the immense growth and strong sense of community that has defined Rutland during that time.
“The Rutland community has supported our clinic by attending our variety of therapies over many years… [and] we are proud to be named Rutland Physical Therapy,” says Brown.
The clinic has been a steady supporter of the community for years, frequently participating in local events. In fact, one of Brown’s favourite memories in Rutland took place during the Rutland May Days which she says “were always a great event that brought the community together.”
Brown believes Rutland is made special by the people who call it home. She also holds a “strong pride about the sense of community that Rutland offers.”
Her dream for the community is “to see more supportive and assisted housing built in Rutland for those who are struggling with the changing economy and for our aging population.”
