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.

Cameron DuPlessis

Physiotherapist

Clinic – Currie Center (UNB)

Meet Cam!

Cameron started his post-secondary education by pursuing a BScKin at the University of New Brunswick. After volunteering at the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation in Fredericton, he developed a strong interest in pursuing an education in physiotherapy.

It was at Stan Cassidy where he saw first-hand how a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care laid the groundwork for some incredible stories of recovery and healing. It also showed him another aspect of the benefits of exercise in promoting and maintaining a person’s health and physical function that he had not truly considered before.

Cameron was accepted into the MSc. PT program at Dalhousie University in 2011 and enjoyed every aspect of his physiotherapy studies while in Halifax. After completing his PT degree in October of 2013, Cameron started working as a physiotherapist at a multi-disciplinary sports medicine clinic in Alberta, and later, was able to pursue contract work with Alpine Canada Alpin and the Canadian Ski Cross Team, which he continues with today. His clinical interests are in the areas of orthopedic and athletic injury management, as well as concussion rehabilitation. He uses an education and exercise-based approach to help his clients and tries to include hands-on or manual techniques into his treatment as much as possible.

Fun fact: Cameron is fluently bilingual (English and French) and is a graduate of École Sainte-Anne (2007).

Originally from Fredericton, Cam and his wife returned to NB in 2017, and he was excited to join the multi-disciplinary team at Max Health Institute & Physiotherapy in the spring of 2020 (with some unexpected delays due to COVID-19).

When not in the clinic, Cameron can be found spending time with his wife, young toddler, and their dog – usually skiing, hiking, running, walking, or cycling.
