Before becoming a physiotherapist in London Ontario, Kat practiced marine biology (yes, that’s right, she was a Marine Biologist!).

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).   

Academically, Erik completed a second advance practice Masters of Clinical Science  (MClSc) at Western University and went on to become a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manual and Manipulative Physical Therapists (FCAMPT) – an internationally recognized and highest possible Canadian designation. Soon after that, Erik went on to chair the London Orthopeadic Division and is currently the past-president of the National FCAMPT executive of Canada. 

Back in the clinic, Erik is a down-to-earth and dynamic physiotherapist with the unique ability to work with anyone. From London, to Thunder Bay, to South Africa, Erik has extensive experience with an impressive range of patients, skill levels and professional backgrounds. 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…

Judy is an experienced Canadian Certified Pedorthist with a special interest in helping walkers and runners. She understands that addressing foot and lower limb pain requires more than simply providing a custom insert for a shoe. Education about the injury, about footwear choices, about basic exercises and about activity modifications in addition to potentially referring to other practitioners are all essential components to her unique approach.

After graduating from the University of Waterloo’s Kinesiology program, Judy first began her career in exercise rehabilitation working alongside physiotherapists in an orthopaedic based clinic. As a running enthusiast with her own share of injuries, Judy has naturally developed a keen interest in the biomechanics of running and gait, which has in turn motivated her to further her career in the field of pedorthics. 

Judy is a graduate of the inaugural Certificate in Pedorthics program through Western University. This program later progressed into an extensive Diploma program for which Judy has been both an instructor and practicum supervisor. Judy now has over 25 years of combined experience in rehabilitation and pedorthics.

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!

Having worked as a registered massage therapist for more than 15 years with London’s own Body Mechanics Physiotherapy, Pauline is able to appreciate how important it is for the patient and the therapist to be 100% focused during treatment sessions. She understands the difficulties and hardships that paperwork, miscommunication and finances can have on a person’s recovery and she knows that her role in reducing these inconveniences plays a big part in a person’s path to recovery.

Following her retirement as an RMT, Pauline transitioned to become a central administrator for Body Mechanics, earning her the skills and insight to understand the language and navigation needed when working with administrators and insurers. Having worked on both the therapeutic and the administrative sides of a health care team allows Pauline to hold a genuinely unique understanding of how to manage both the people and the paperwork of a busy clinical environment.
