About
Framework Health is built on the foundation that health is much more than just the absence of injury or illness. Meaningful and lasting recovery requires a comprehensive approach; one that considers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors at play. Ongoing wellness throughout life necessitates insightful and proactive planning.
Erin has worked in both public and private health care settings from coast to coast providing Occupational Therapy services to individuals with a range of musculoskeletal, mental health, cognitive, and neurological issues. She is passionate about ongoing education to ensure best practices, and has achieved multiple qualifications and certifications throughout her career. She has been accepted as an expert witness in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in the areas of Functional Capacity Evaluation and Cost of Future Care Assessment.
