Maggie Phillips-Scarlett
Maggie grew up in Nova Scotia where she competed in many sports including cycling, soccer and ski racing. At age 15, she endured her first ACL injury, an event that paved the path for her career journey. Her advanced schooling in Kinesiology impacts her approach to treatment as she believes strongly in proper and efficient movement execution. Maggie takes great care to prescribe the best exercises that address an individual’s rehab and health goals.
Maggie received a Bachelor’s of Kinesiology with Honours from Acadia University in 2000 where she specialized in Athletic Therapy and Sport Medicine. She was the athletic therapist for Acadia’s football team and conducted research on concussion with the varsity hockey program. Following graduation she worked in San Francisco as a certified strength & conditioning coach (CSCS). Upon returning to Canada she earned a Masters of Kinesiology (2004) from the University of Calgary where she was trained in the Human Performance Lab working with elite athletes (alpine skiers, speed skaters, swimmers and cyclists) and earned her certification as an Exercise Physiologist (CEP). Realizing her strengths were in combining exercise with sport medicine, she then did her Masters in Physical Therapy (2007) at UBC.
In 2005, Maggie began working with Canada’s Paralympic Ski Team as the Physiotherapist and the Strength and Conditioning Coach, which culminated in a career highlight of being part of the staff of the Canadian para-alpine ski team during the Vancouver Olympics, 2010. Since 2012, Maggie has consulted with the Canadian Freestyle Ski team and continues to enjoy traveling with this team on their world cup circuit.
Maggie is a Mom to two boys and continues to strive to find balance amongst her family, work, and play (hiking, biking, skiing, paddle boarding!) in Squamish, BC.
