LINDA-JOY LEE BSC, BSC(PT), FCAMT, MCPA, PHD CANDIDATE Linda-Joy is a physiotherapy graduate from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and UBC Wesbrook Scholar (1996). “LJ” became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manual and Manipulative Therapists in 1999 with distinction and completed her certification in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) in July 2001. LJ is a clinical and education consultant at her clinic, Synergy Physiotherapy, in North Vancouver (www.synergyphysio.ca), BC. She sees a wide variety of patients, including all levels of recreational and competitive athletes, and specializes in treating patients with pelvic and spinal dysfunction. LJ is known for her skills in motor control and movement retraining and is experienced in the use of Real-time Ultrasound imaging for assessment and retraining of the pelvic floor and lumbopelvic core muscles. LJ has worked with internationally known clinician Diane Lee since 2000, and is currently collaborating with Diane on several projects in addition to teaching and developing courses based on the Integrated Model of Function. She developed the “Training the Trainers” course to complement Diane’s Postpartum Health for Moms educational program; this course has now been expanded into the two day course “Postpartum Health for Moms: Restoring Form & Function”. LJ published a chapter on “Restoring Force Closure/Motor Control of the Thorax” in the book “The Thorax: An Integrated Approach” by Diane Lee and co-authored two chapters in the 3rd edition of “The Pelvic Girdle” by Diane Lee. In addition, she co-produced, along with Diane, a 4.5 hour DVD titled “An Integrated Approach to the Assessment and Treatment of the Lumbopelvic-Hip Region”. Information on these education materials is available through this website – see education products. Passionate about new challenges, LJ is also pursuing a PhD investigating motor control of the thoracic spine and its relation to the lumbopelvic region at The University of Queensland with Professor Paul Hodges.
