Meet Anna!
Anna is an exercise enthusiast, an academic, worldwide traveler, and a leader with a resilient mindset. Her defining quality is her persistent hard work which has defined the achievements that she has accomplished to date.
Born and raised in Fredericton, Anna graduated top of her class in the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology program from the University of New Brunswick in 2018. After graduation Anna worked as the lead research coordinator for the Cardiometabolic Exercise and Lifestyle Laboratory (CELLab) at UNB to implement an older adult fall prevention exercise program in New Brunswick. The following year she returned to Australia, where she had previously completed a UNB Study Abroad term in 2017 in Melbourne, to work as a personal trainer in three different gyms.
During Anna’s travels, her passion to collaboratively help individuals live a healthy and active lifestyle became clear, so she decided to further her education and study to become a physiotherapist. She completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy from Dalhousie University in 2022, again graduating top of her class.
Anna strongly believes in empowering her clients to take ownership of their health and fitness. She works with clients to create an individualized plan to achieve their goals and to prevent illness, disease, and/or disability. For clients who are currently experiencing acute or chronic conditions, Anna is passionate about working with them to create a proper rehabilitation plan.
Anna has extensive experience working with the aging population through her previous employment, volunteerism, and physio placements, and absolutely loves to work with individuals to help combat the challenges that often present with aging. She is a firm believer that one’s age does not define their functional ability and that many of the risk factors for chronic conditions are, in fact, modifiable.
Outside of the clinic, you can guarantee Anna is exercising — whether in the gym lifting weights, running outside, or attending yoga and Pilates classes with her friends. Anna is a huge animal lover and loves travelling the world with family and friends.
Anna has recently embarked on a legal education at UNB Law to further her professional development, but remains fully committed to her clients on a part-time basis.

Meet Lynn!
Lynn Sweeney has an undergraduate degree from the University of New Brunswick, and a Masters degree in Physiotherapy from Western. She is an Honorary Research Associate at the University of New Brunswick and has 10 years experience as a physiotherapist. Lynn’s clinical focus is on pelvic floor physiotherapy and vertigo / vestibular rehabilitation.
After the birth of her first child in 2014, she required pelvic floor physiotherapy. After 9 months of pain, pelvic floor physiotherapy offered her hope and was the solution to her eliminating her pelvic pain.
She was trained and received certification through Pelvic Health Solutions in Toronto to perform internal vaginal and rectal assessments of the pelvic floor.
Once Lynn started practicing pelvic floor physiotherapy in Fredericton, it was evident that this type of physiotherapy filled a void in healthcare for men and women, as she could not keep up with the demand. Max Health Institute & Physiotherapy has since created a space and multi-disciplinary team to meet the needs, in a timely manner, for those seeking resolution for their pelvic health issues.
Lynn continues to travel to Toronto for pelvic health courses and seeks mentorship from specialists in the field from around North America. Her care focuses on treating the following in men and women:
Women: Pregnancy pain, postpartum care and recovery, C-section rehabilitation, pain with sex, prolapse, urinary frequency and urgency, incontinence, endometriosis related pain, vaginismus, vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, painful bladder syndrome, menopause, tail bone pain.
Men: Chronic prostatitis, post prostatectomy rehabilitation, urinary frequency and urgency, erectile dysfunction, incontinence, tailbone pain, testicular and penile pain.
Outside of work Lynn enjoys spending time with her husband and 3 kids, exploring New Brunswick hiking trails, and keeping active.
