Meet Our Team

Spencer Hachey

Spencer Hachey

(RPT) & Owner

Name a sport, and it’s likely Spencer Hachey has participated in it. His fascination with physiotherapy began with learning to overcome injuries he sustained playing competitive hockey and football. Spencer has lived many lives; before starting his physiotherapy adventure, he spent over 15 years in the trades as a carpenter, electrician, and commercial landscape foreman. He enjoys the outdoors and the self-sufficient lifestyle of chopping wood, construction, and gardening from his chosen home in Rossland, BC.

With a desire to gain a global perspective in physiotherapy, the Alberta native studied and trained abroad in the Netherlands and Ireland before settling in Canada. He delivers a predominantly deep tissue therapeutic approach, incorporating modalities such as TENS and heat. Spencer specializes in musculoskeletal issues and helping clients with chronic and acute injuries/conditions. He also focuses on helping pre-and-post-operative patients and people with concussions. Dedicated to investigating and treating any issues affecting body function, Spencer’s end goal is to help others reach their fullest potential.

“I wanted to live in Canada where there was a healthier, more outdoors-based lifestyle than most cities; now I have the ideal location here in Rossland. I’m excited to learn from Sandi and continue my work at such a highly regarded clinic.”

Dominique Ring

(BSc RMT)

Dominique Ring is inspired by the complexity of the human body and its natural ability to heal.

Originally from Saskatoon, SK and raised in Calgary, AB, Dominique moved to BC in 2011 and instantly fell in love with the outdoor lifestyle. Dominique enjoys adventuring with her family, as well as cooking and knitting in her “little old house” in Rossland while listening to Neil Young.

Empowering others to discover and understand their bodies was foundational at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT) in Vernon, where she studied and later instructed in musculoskeletal anatomy and neuroanatomy. She continued her education in that department as a member of the college research team. Her treatment sessions combine various techniques, including myofascial release, Swedish massage, and joint mobilization, focusing on restoring postural balance. Coming from an instructional background, Dominique values educating her patients to help achieve optimal results.

“The Kootenays is an amazing place to live and work. It’s a privilege to work with so many inspiring people and help them on their journeys.”

Cindy Devine

(RPT)

Cindy Devine has been a high achiever since she skipped the first grade.

Known for her incredible athletic abilities in windsurfing and mountain biking, Cindy rode as a pro mountain biker and Canadian National Team member for eight years, taking home the World Downhill Mountain Bike Championship title in 1990, with repeated wins to follow.

She approaches her physiotherapy practice with the same dedication and commitment to personal and professional growth. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science from UBC's Rehabilitation Medicine Faculty in 1981, Cindy’s established a successful career that’s spanned nearly 40 years. She continues to share her skills from her home in Rossland, BC., focusing on Cold Pulse Laser therapy treatments, kinesiotaping, gua sha dynamic cupping, SCENAR, functional exercise prescription, posture, breath, and core training. Cindy is passionate about physio because it helps her reach her physical best and allows her to assist others in doing the same.

"I love working in Rossland because everyone I meet is so committed to dealing with their injuries or dysfunctions. They take ownership of the cause, accept the recommended treatment approach, and forge on with a positive attitude to their healing. What a pleasure it is to keep seeing people like this—and to help them get better!"

What People Are Saying

My experience at Rossland Physio with Spencer was excellent. He helped me recover from shoulder surgery with a very realistic set of goals. He managed to personalize a lot of the exercises to help enhance a speedy and solid outcome. I couldn’t recommend him more. Thanks Spencer!

Mark StevenRossland

So happy to have found Spencer. His practical & hands on approach has been immensely helpful. Not having a lot of time in my days, he makes the most of each treatment & no time wasted on things I can do on my own. His knowledge and expertise in helping manage some long term issues have helped make daily life easier.
