Megan Hooker
Megan HookerAthletic Therapist
Meet Megan. Growing up in a small town, playing sports was what kept Megan occupied. Her passion for rugby and soccer outshone the rest and she played both for 10+ years and coached both sports as well. When she found the Exercise Science program at Concordia University specializing in athletic therapy, she knew it was for her – Muscles and sports together!

Megan has been a certified athletic therapist since June 2011 and has worked with numerous sports teams (hockey, CrossFit, rugby, soccer, etc.) at different levels ranging from recreational athletes to professional athletes.

Her passion is teaching athletes about their body and how to take care of it so that they can be at their best and do what they love pain free. She assesses and rehab’s acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries using myofascial release, soft tissue work, k-taping, and rehab exercises.

Megan has a sound understanding of the movements performed in CrossFit so she can help you avoid movements that could slow down recovery without having to stop your training completely!
