Born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Dr. Dionne Tatlow travelled to Edmonton, Alberta to complete a Bachelors of Physical Education, specializing in the health and wellness of children and youth. A keen interest in anatomy and manual therapy took her to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, where she obtained her degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC); Graduating Magna Cum Laude with Clinic Honors and receiving the CCR Clinical Radiology Proficiency Award and Istrati Memorial Family Award. After practicing for 6 years, a love of education took her back to school to obtain a Masters of Science, completing her thesis on Injury Surveillance in Open Water Swimmers.
Following completion of her Masters and filled with a combined love of education, manual medicine and swimming, she accepted a teaching position with the Kinesiology Department at Okanagan College and is excited to be practicing in Penticton.

She has completed additional accreditation with The Running Clinic and has worked with both masters and age-group swim teams, Junior A and Collegiate level hockey teams and various collegiate-level athletes (swimming, athletics and soccer). She believes in lifelong education and thoroughly enjoys advancing her education, therapeutic & ‘problem-solving’ skills through various continuing education seminars and courses.
In her spare time you’ll likely find her in the water somewhere… and on the best days, her pup & husband will be swimming &/or paddling beside her!
