Robin Short (she/her)

Robin grew up in Nova Scotia and always knew she wanted a career in health care. After a car accident in 2021, she worked with a physiotherapist to return to her active lifestyle. Experiencing firsthand how physiotherapy can impact a person’s physical and mental well-being inspired her to pursue it as her career.

Robin completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University in 2026. She integrates her personal athletic experience with evidence-based assessment treatment to provide individualized, collaborative, and patient-centred care. She enjoys working with patients of all activity levels and is especially passionate about supporting individuals to maintain their athleticism and stay active throughout pregnancy and postpartum, as well as treating climbing-related injuries and conditions.

Outside of her physiotherapy practice, Robin is an avid rock climber. She enjoys both indoor and outdoor climbing and has travelled nationally and internationally to explore different climbing environments and she is a coach with a local youth climbing team. Beyond climbing, Robin stays active through running, snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, and spending time outdoors.
