Heather Lewis (Callahan)
BPE, CAT(C)
Clinic Owner
While still in high school, Heather took an Athletic First Aid and Taping and Strapping course through the Sport Medicine Council of Alberta and used her new skills to help her high school women’s’ rugby team. She was hooked.
Heather has been a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT(C)) since 2002 after completing a combined Bachelor of Physical Education/Advanced Certificate in Athletic Therapy degree program offered through the University of Alberta and Mount Royal College.
It was a dream come true to open Fernie’s 1st Athletic Therapy Clinic in the fall of 2006. Prior to moving to Fernie in 2005, Heather was working in Edmonton, AB as the Medical Coordinator for the 2005 World Masters Games and a clinical Athletic Therapist at NorMed Therapies in Sherwood Park, AB. Winter 2005 in Fernie she worked as a dispatcher at Fernie Alpine Resort and used her Advanced First Aid skills and Athletic Therapy knowledge to assess the carnage that rolled into the First Aid room.
Those who know Heather well, knows that her favorite joint in the body to work with are KNEES! She has advanced her education and knowledge with courses in Acute Knee Injury Assessment and bracing. She has also taken courses in Concussion (R2P Concussion Management), Kinesio Taping, Soft Tissue Release (similar to ART), Muscle Energy Techniques and Custom Foot Orthotics and Bracing.
Heather has spent many years “working on the sidelines/on the bench” and consulting for numerous teams, clubs and events. Examples include Jr hockey, skiing and snowboarding, varsity track and field, figure skating, rugby, gymnastics, football and lacrosse. Fernie Athletic Therapy has been the Athletic Therapy game coverage provider on the bench and sidelines and provided clinic treatment for the Fernie Ghostriders since 2006 and the Elk Valley Bulls Rugby Club.
In her spare time, Heather likes to hike, mountain bike, ski and snowboard and plays women’s hockey. She and her husband Simon adore their two daughters, Penny and Rachel, and experiencing the outdoors with them!
