Cassie Comeau
Cassie completed her undergraduate degrees (BSc in Kinesiology and a BA in Sport & Exercise Psychology) at the University of New Brunswick. Being a member of both the soccer and rugby teams at UNB, she spent a lot of time with the team therapists which led her to pursue her education in this field. She completed her Masters of Science in Physiotherapy at McMaster graduating in 2012.
Cassie truly believes in lifelong-learning and is devoted to keeping up with the latest research to deliver evidence-based client centered care. She has pursued continuing education courses in pelvic floor physiotherapy, acupuncture, vestibular rehabilitation, concussion management, and chronic pain. In November 2018 she successfully attained her Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy through the CPA, which is the highest level of manual therapy training in Canada, making her a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapists (FCAMPT).
In her spare time, she enjoys watching and playing sports (Go Leafs, Go cowboys!), working out, and travelling. She also recently started BJJ and has a whole new appreciation for various injuries because of this!
Ashtyn-Brooke Briscall
Ashtyn has always had an interest in the human body. She has loved sports, fitness and nutrition throughout high school and her young adult years. She began her career as a massage therapist over five years ago. Since then, she has added cupping and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization to her tool belt to better treat her patients. She has a passion for learning and continued education and has taught courses and supervised clinics for the massage therapy program at Trillium College. Most recently, Ashtyn has taken on her favourite (and most challenging) role, she became a mother! In January 2023
Ashtyn welcomed her daughter to the world and life sure got busier! She is excited to continue growing her business, while having the flexibility to have an abundance of family time. Ashtyn recognizes that her patient’s conditions and their daily lives are all different, so her treatments must be uniquely tailored to each individual. Her treatments are dynamic, therapeutic and rehabilitative while also being relaxing. She is excited to join the Crossroads team and to return to work from maternity leave (with her yeti filled with much needed coffee)!
