•Acute and Chronic Pain Management

Kat Fraser is a dynamic and highly diverse orthopaedic physiotherapist with two particular clinical focuses; Pelvic Health and Sports Injury. A graduate of Western University’s Masters of Physiotherapy program, Kat believes a focused 1-on-1 treatment approach is the key to every patient’s success. Kat also believes that not all tools are equal and therefore employs a broad mixture of techniques that can include manual therapy, dry needling and acupuncture, pain science, education, strength and conditioning, functional exercise and good old fashion listening skills!

It’s worth knowing that Kat’s advanced approach to her patient’s care comes from an impressive and uniquely diverse level of professional experiences. Before becoming a physiotherapist in London Ontario, Kat practiced marine biology (yes, that’s right, she was a Marine Biologist!). Although she excelled as a biologist, Kat felt more connected to people, but believes that her advanced education and life experiences have helped shape her professional instincts and are part of her success as a physiotherapist. Of course, Kat isn’t simply successful as a physiotherapist – she’s a stand out!

Kat always takes the time to listen to her patient’s story, understand their unique situation (life, injury, needs and goals), answer questions clearly and ensure that her patients are equal and active partners in a team approach towards recovery.

Outside the clinic, Kat is equally passionate about her hobbies. If you catch her on the ocean she might be sailing, windsurfing or scuba diving. But here in Ontario, she’s an avid rock climber and ultimate frisbee player with a love of traveling and the outdoors. She also likes to dabble in a diverse array of music, dance, art, cooking, gardening and games.

Erik Schmidt is one of Pro Function’s co-owners … but he’ll tell you he’s ‘just a physio’. Before building Pro Function, Erik worked in a number of areas in Ontario and even outside Canada. But Erik was born in London Ontario, his family is here and eventually he found his way home to lay down roots.

After graduating from Queen’s University with a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy, Erik split his professional time between sports medicine with some of Canada’s National athletes, lecturing medical students at the North School of Medicine (NOSM), and working weekends at long-term care facilities. It’s unusual for a physiotherapist to work in so many different corners of the profession at the same time, but Erik says the work gave him an appreciation for how to adapt his skills to suit a very wide range of people and needs.

Three years into his career, Erik came back to London and re-united with his original colleagues at Body Mechanics Physiotherapy, both at the Bellwood Plaza and Byron locations. He also continued teaching, only this time with Western University, the Orthopeadic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and with the Mulligan Concept (a patient-driven treatment approach first developed in New Zealand).

He can provide his services in English, French or German!

Outside the clinic, you can find Erik…well outside! (He’s always outside!) Erik loves anything and everything to do with the outdoors, travel and sports. So no matter what season it is, Erik is happy to share stories about his adventures with family, traveling, running, hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, camping, canoeing, skiing…

Brindley Jantzi

Patient Care Liaison – Pure Gangsta

Pro Function Health Care Team

Brindley Jantzi is the chief patient liaison for Pro Function’s downtown health care team. Brindley joined Pro Function in 2020 and brings with her a level of experience not only unique for Pro Function, but for health care as a whole.

What do we mean by ‘unique to health care as a whole”? Well, Brindley is the first, and based on our research, the ONLY health care administrator to be recruited because of her background in luxury hospitality and service. “What’s that you say – hospitality and service??” That right! Pro Function’s approach is to push boundaries and find ways to continuously improve a patient’s experience… and why not? We all feel patients deserve to be greeted with a little elegance and class, and Brindley suits this perfectly.

Prior to moving to London, Brindley’s career was as a customer service provider in a luxury boutique hotel in Stratford Ontario. There, she was immersed in the hospitality, travel, tourism and customer service industry. She felt the unorthodox challenge of bringing hotel hospitality into a clinic environment was both exciting and brilliant. In her own words, Brindley says, “I am passionate about being able to assist people. At Pro Function, I can combine my background in hospitality with my interest in health care to provide the best possible customer experience.”

Over and above her background and skill set, Brindley in no stranger to the health care setting. Brindley graduated from Western University and during her time there, she competed as a varsity shot put and weight throwing athlete for Western’s Track and Field team. Brindley has also played softball and volleyball since childhood and has competed in those sports at a National level. It was through sports and injuries that she found an interest in the health care field. She feels that many positive chiropractic and physiotherapy experiences helped play a significant role in her achievements, as well as her ability to perform at the highest levels of her sports.

Outside of the clinic. Brindley can be found on the ball diamond playing slo-pitch, helping her parents on their farm, or taking a physical break and enjoying the odd video game!
