Robin Stamm, MPT
Physiotherapist
Robin received her Master of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2011. Since graduation, Robin has worked extensively in private practice. After moving to Halifax in 2014, she joined an innovative interdisciplinary clinic which sought to empower and improve patients’ quality of life through collaborative integrated care. This experience transformed her understanding of healthcare and the role physiotherapists can play in holistic preventative care.
She has extensive post-graduate training and experience in the areas of orthopaedics and chronic pain. She obtained her certification in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration through Tom Myer’s school in 2013. In 2018, she completed New Zealand’s Bradcliff Method certification for assessment and treatment of breathing pattern dysfunctions. Most recently she studied the Integrated Systems Model approach with Diane Lee here in BC, which teaches an effective framework for whole body assessment and integrated treatment.
Preceding her life as a physiotherapist, Robin explored movement through the related worlds of dance and somatics. She dipped and dabbled in Feldenkrais, Itcush Method, Body Mind Centering, Anti-gymnastique, and more. In 2007 however, she met her teacher Diane Long and became a devoted practitioner of yoga in the lineage of Vanda Scaravelli. All searching finished on this day. Robin continues to practice and teach this yoga all around the world. Indeed, it is within her own simple daily practice where her understanding of movement and healing is most deeply informed and experienced.
Robin enjoys treating all types of patients and injuries, from the senior who wants to maintain her independence after a stroke, to the high level athlete who wants to figure out why his breath isn’t as full and efficient as he needs it to be, and is passionate about helping her patients feel and move better for long term health and well being. She moved to Vancouver in early 2020, became a mother in 2021, and is thrilled to now be a part of the team at Mint Integrative Health.
