About Me

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm Marlee Gallagher, a passionate physiotherapist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Currently accepting patients.  With a career that spans over a decade, I've dedicated myself to enhancing the quality of life for my patients through advance practice skills in hand therapy and women's health issues, particularly incontinence.

 

My Journey:

 

Education: I earned my Bachelor's degree in Medical Rehabilitation with a specialization in Physical Therapy from the University of Manitoba. Prior to that, I studied Developmental Psychology and Zoology at Brandon University, which gave me a unique perspective on human development and the biological sciences.

Professional Path: My journey in physiotherapy has taken me from bustling hospitals to serene private practice settings. I've worked in emergency rooms, conducted home visits, managed rehabilitation in primary care settings, and provided care in specialized outpatient clinics. Each role has enriched my understanding and approach to patient care.

 

Advanced Practice Areas:

 

Certified Hand Therapist - I focus on the rehabilitation of hand and upper extremity conditions, from post-surgical recovery to managing chronic issues.

​

Women's Health - My practice includes addressing pelvic health concerns, particularly incontinence, helping women regain control and confidence.

​

Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Myofascial Release - Craniosacral & Visceral Soft Tissue Manipulation

Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy Level 1 & 2

 

Philosophy & Approach:

I believe in a holistic approach to physiotherapy. My treatment plans are tailored to each individual, combining evidence-based practices with a compassionate, patient-centered perspective. My goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools for self-management beyond our sessions.

 

Community Involvement:

 

Volunteer Work: I'm actively involved in mentoring the next generation of physiotherapists at the University of Manitoba and serve on several professional committees, including the Canadian Society of Hand Therapists and the Manitoba College of Physiotherapists.

Service Dog Training: My interest in animals led me to train service dogs, which combines my love for animals with my professional commitment to rehabilitation.

 

Interests & Hobbies:

 

Lifelong Learning: I continuously educate myself through courses, webinars, and professional development to keep my practice at the forefront of physiotherapy.

Nature & Wellness: I find solace in nature through hiking, gardening, and practicing Pilates. These activities not only keep me grounded but also inspire my therapeutic techniques.

Reading & Culture: An avid reader, I enjoy exploring various genres in book clubs, reflecting my broad interests from geopolitical events to holistic health.
