| Anita Prasad |
 I graduated from Dalhousie University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. Following graduation I worked in the Annapolis Valley for two years at a Tier 3A multidisciplinary physiotherapy clinic. My caseload there consisted mostly of work related injury rehabilitation and sports related injury rehabilitation. I also worked with the general population in treating many other orthopaedic injuries. I spent time working with local industries in an effort to reduce work related injuries and to educate employees on safe habits at work. During my two years in New Minas I spent much of my free time taking post-graduate physiotherapy courses specializing in orthopaedic manual therapy. I also taught a Kickboxing class in Kentville.
I am from Newfoundland but currently reside in Halifax. I enjoy traveling, kickboxing, downhill skiing, hiking and biking. I am also studying for certification in manual and manipulative physiotherapy. I have a special interest in sports and work related injuries. My clinical interests include shoulder and neck injuries and postural disorders. I have experience treating clients of all ages including pediatrics and the elderly. I believe in an active approach to rehabilitation and thus spend a great deal of time on exercise prescription, education and a hands-on therapeutic approach.

 I have been treating patients since 1987 when I graduated from Dalhousie University with a BSc(PT). I returned to Dalhousie University to research manual therapy treatment of the hip joint and received my MSc(PT) in 2001. I opened Beaverbank Orthopaedic and Sport Physiotherapy in 1993 and continue to work at this state of the art clinic.
I also teach part time at Dalhousie University in the Orthopaedics department of the School of Physiotherapy. I am an instructor and examiner for the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
I have two active children and I love most sports. I coach soccer and power skating. I enjoy playing ice hockey, tennis, water and snow skiing.
I believe manual therapy is an important component in the rehabilitation of many patients. I understand that the manual therapy treatment techniques help to restore joint motion but that full function requires the integration of joint motion, muscular activation and endurance, overall proper posture and movement patterns. My treatment philosophy involves empowering the patient with knowledge. Patients who understand their condition will be able to avoid aggravating stresses and perform exercises to maintain the improvements gained from physiotherapy.
