Brit Chase | Physiotherapist

Sherwood Park physiotherapist, Brit Chase, at Acceleration PhysiotherapyAbout Brit

Brit Chase is a physiotherapist in Sherwood Park with a lifelong background in sport, movement, coaching, and education. She completed her Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne in 2019 and has since advanced her practice with certifications in yoga (Modo, Yin, Flow) and Clinical Pilates.

She takes a movement-focused, performance-informed approach to physiotherapy, combining hands-on treatment, strength-based rehab, and individualized exercise programming. Brit is the only physiotherapist at the clinic offering Clinical Pilates, which she integrates into rehab and performance plans when appropriate.

Approach

Brit focuses on helping patients recover with confidence through clear education, guided movement, and progressive loading. Her goal is to support long-term results – not just short-term symptom relief.

While she has a strong clinical interest in shoulder rehabilitation and movement retraining, Brit treats all musculoskeletal conditions and works with patients across all activity levels.

Brittney Achtymichuk | Physiotherapist

Sherwood Park physiotherapist, Brittney Achtymichuk, at Acceleration PhysiotherapyAbout Brittney

Brittney’s background as a competitive swimmer first sparked her interest in human movement and rehabilitation. She holds a Bachelor of Physical Education and a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta, and has experience working with a range of athletes, including varsity and high-performance teams.

She has pursued additional mentorship and training in hand and upper extremity therapy, an area she particularly enjoys for its detail and complexity. That said, Brittney treats all types of musculoskeletal conditions and adapts her approach to each individual she works with.

Approach

Brittney blends exercise prescription, manual therapy, and education to build well-rounded, evidence-based treatment plans. Her background in strength and conditioning helps her guide patients from early rehab all the way back to higher-level performance and sport.

Sherwood Park physiotherapist, Sid Aurka, at Acceleration PhysiotherapyAbout Sid

Sid’s background as a varsity wrestler and national-level cricket player shapes his understanding of both athletic performance and injury recovery. He has worked with teams such as the Pandas Hockey Club and Team Canada Sitting Volleyball, and holds his Sports Physiotherapy Certification.

He has developed strong experience in lower extremity injuries—particularly knee rehab and ACL recovery—through his work in sports medicine settings. While this is a key area of interest, Sid treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions across all populations.

Approach

Sid combines evidence-based rehab, strength training, and sport-specific conditioning to help people return to activity with confidence. Whether working with athletes or everyday patients, he focuses on building strength, resilience, and long-term results.
