Linda Boryski, BScPT, BA(Hons).
Linda is the founder of Edge Conditioning. Linda’s strong background in hockey as a university athlete, Development 2 Coach with Hockey Canada and power skating instructor has enabled her to combine her chosen profession as a physical therapist with athlete training. It is this marriage of science and coaching that makes Edge Conditioning programming unique in its approach to scientifically maximize athlete performance.

Linda is employed as a Physical Therapist in Saskatoon at Flaman Physiotherapy Clinic where she specializes in treatment of sports and other orthopaedic injuries. Her knowledge of physical therapy combined with her experience as a power skating instructor provides her with a unique skill set. She uses these skills to help her client achieve maximum power and biomechanical efficiency in their skating stride, to minimize occurrences of injury and optimize any injury rehabilitation both on and off the ice.

Linda continues to help improve the city’s hockey players with her power skating instruction. Athletes from the beginners up to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies and NHL level have benefited from Linda’s expertise. She has also held several coaching positions in the Sask First Program, Senior Women’s National Championships (Team Sask), University of Saskatchewan Huskies and SMFAAAHL.
