Faraley Vander Schilden

Faraley Vander Schilden graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology in 2006, and then attended Queen’s University, graduating in 2009 with a Master’s of Physical Therapy. During her time at UVIC, she was a varsity rower, winning three Canadian Championships, multiple gold medals at the Royal Canadian Henley, a place on the Canadian Junior National team in 2000, and third place at the 2004 World U-23 Championships in Poland.

After graduation, Faraley spent two seasons as the Lead Physiotherapist with the Oak Bay Castaway Wanderers Rugby Club. Faraley completed the Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2014, and she most recently received her certification in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (CGIMS) in 2015. She believes in providing patients with a good understanding as to the nature of their injury, as well as the treatment choices she makes. This helps to augment her predominantly manual therapy and exercise-based treatment approach.
