Meet our amazing therapist who take care patients
Helien Watson
Physiotherapist
Growing up in rural Southwestern Ontario gave me an appreciation for small town life. Although I have lived in large cities, I am happy to call Oxford County “home”. I spent four years in Kingston at Queen’s University to achieve my Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. I then worked in Toronto and Belleville/Trenton before moving to this area. I have a well rounded background in Physiotherapy because in my early years I rotated through the various specialties in the Hospital, and I also did Community Home Care Physio for a number of years. I have continued my education with post graduate courses to upgrade my knowledge base and hands on skills. I care about my patients and it is my goal to improve function and quality of life. We take our work seriously at Ingersoll Downtown Physio but we try to ensure your experience is enjoyable as well as effective.
