Alyssa (Ally) Bachorski, CAT(C), BAET, HBK, G. Dip. Kin.

Ally discovered her passion for understanding the human body at just 16, during a high school co-op at a physiotherapy clinic. A year later, an Exercise Science project—sparked by a friend’s ACL tear—cemented her path in athletic therapy.

She earned her Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology (2015) and Graduate Diploma in Professional Kinesiology (2016) from Lakehead University, where she coordinated the Sports Medicine & Concussion Clinic alongside Dr. Dave McKee and Joanna Sanchez, CAT(C). There, she gained research and practical experience in concussion management and injury rehab across sports and populations ranging from wrestling, curling, and Nordic skiing to baseball with the Thunder Bay Border Cats of the Northwoods League.

In 2017, Ally moved to Victoria, BC, completing her Bachelor of Athletic & Exercise Therapy at Camosun College (2022) before certifying as an Athletic Therapist. She worked with the Belmont Bulldogs Varsity & Junior Varsity Football teams, youth football, rugby, CSSHL hockey, and the Westshore Rebels (CJFL). Her time on Vancouver Island ended on a high note—helping the Belmont Boys Senior Rugby VII’s capture both the Island and BC Provincial Championships in 2025. Dedicated to peak performance and long-term wellness, Ally combines manual therapy, education, and exercise in a collaborative, holistic way—whether returning an athlete to the ice or a gardener to the soil.

Off the field, you’ll find her at home with her young daughter, crocheting blankets, or quietly recharging for the next big game.
