Hi, I’m Rutvi Terpstra, I am a compassionate and dedicated Registered Physiotherapist with a genuine passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and live with greater confidence in their bodies. I believe physiotherapy is about more than just treating symptoms,  it’s about truly listening, building trust, and creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable, heard, and understood from the very first visit.

I have completed additional training in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and take an individualized, whole-person approach to care. I understand that every person’s experience, goals, and journey are unique, and I work collaboratively with my clients to create treatment plans that feel realistic, empowering, and tailored to their specific needs. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, navigating pelvic floor concerns, managing pain, or simply wanting to move with more ease and confidence, I am committed to supporting them every step of the way.

One of the things I value most is creating an environment where people feel genuinely comfortable being themselves. I strive to bring warmth, positivity, and an infectious energy into every session, while also ensuring my clients feel safe, respected, and truly listened to. I know that seeking care can sometimes feel vulnerable, and I want every person who walks through the door to feel welcomed, supported, and never judged.

I am especially passionate about fostering an inclusive approach to physiotherapy, where people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences feel seen and supported. I believe healthcare should be compassionate, collaborative, and accessible, and I work hard to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are.

I feel incredibly grateful to be part of the Move Authentically team and to work alongside such compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive practitioners. Being part of a team that values connection, inclusivity, and client-centered care so deeply aligns perfectly with the kind of physiotherapist I strive to be.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, doodling, crocheting, trying new foods and training for Body Building Competitions.
