Larissa Tutert, Physiotherapist, works at the Dovigi Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Clinic, a multidisciplinary centre inside Mount Sinai Hospital. She completed her Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, and has undergone additional training in the areas of male and female pelvic floor health, orthopaedic manual therapy, and Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture.

In the United States, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.

Also, compared with other cancers, this affects younger women more often.

Understanding why it happens in some people and not others is, of course, a priority.

 

The first thing you see upon entering the main door to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at KGH - one that only opens to non-staff via a call-in - isn't an incubator. You don't see babies lying serenely within enclosed cribs, nor cables leading to bewildering monitors and machines.
