Biography
Kristen Gamble graduated from Western University with a BA in Kinesiology in 2010 before completing her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Queen’s University in 2013. Following graduation, she completed the Sport Physiotherapy Fellowship at Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic, where she has continued to work throughout her career. Kristen is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT) and holds certification in Integrated Dry Needling.
Throughout her career at Fowler Kennedy, Kristen has developed extensive clinical experience working with athletes and active individuals across a wide range of sports and abilities. Her clinical practice has been complemented by progressive leadership roles, including Clinical Site Lead at both the Fanshawe College and Western University locations, before stepping into her current role as Interim Director of Physiotherapy. She has also served on the executive of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s Orthopaedic Division, contributing to the profession at a broader national level.
Education and mentorship have remained an important part of Kristen’s practice. Throughout her clinical career, she has supported and supervised numerous Master of Physical Therapy students during their clinical placements. In her current role, she continues to contribute to the development of physiotherapists through mentorship, clinical education, case rounds, and the Fowler Kennedy Sport Physiotherapy Fellowship program.
Kristen is also actively involved in ongoing research initiatives within Fowler Kennedy and through its professional affiliations with Western University. Her involvement includes participation in initiatives such as the COMPASS and SPINA research registries as well as research projects in the Sport and Exercise Medicine program at Western, helping to connect clinical practice, education, and research to continually improve patient care.
Although Kristen’s current role is focused on leadership, education, and the ongoing development of the physiotherapy department rather than clinical patient care, she remains committed to advancing physiotherapy practice and supporting the next generation of clinicians.
