PT, DPT

Dr. Chanol A. Ottley-Allen is a highly educated Physical Therapist with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (Hons.) from McMaster University, Canada, Masters of Science in Physiotherapy from Leeds Beckett University, UK and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Florida’s Nova Southeastern University. She is a registered and licensed Physical Therapist in Trinidad and Tobago with 11 years of expert knowledge, clinical experience and reasoning. Chanol has been involved in the health services field for 15 plus years. Through her extensive training and appreciation of the fact that education without practical experience could be vacuous, she consistently adheres to evidence-based interventions thus providing the most effective treatment options to her clients.

Chanol has worked in an orthopaedic outpatient setting for most of her career, but has also managed a healthy caseload of homecare clients; treating a variety of conditions. Throughout the course of her career she has nurtured a special interest in women’s health, recognizing the disabling effect some treatable conditions can have on this underserved segment of the population due, in part, to lack of access and awareness. Her passion areas in women’s health include pregnancy, postpartum care, pelvic pain, urinary and bowel issues. She welcomes the progressive leap towards virtual physical therapy being observed globally, as a means of closing the gap between need and access.

When she isn’t reading journal articles in an effort to stay au courant with the newest research or working on exciting new projects. Chanol is fitting in a morning workout, cooking a meal for her supportive husband while trying to keep up with her energetic toddler!
