Shannon Morrison has been passionate about sports for as long as she can remember. She played every sport she could fit into her schedule and finally decided on a career in physiotherapy. Shannon completed her physiotherapy degree at Queen's University in 2002, after attending Dalhousie University for Kinesiology. Following graduation, Shannon worked in Ottawa and began her sports physiotherapy career with the Ottawa Sooners football club and then the Phoenix ultimate frisbee team.

From there she decided to pursue further education in Australia where she completed her Masters in Sports Physiotherapy in 2005. Shannon returned to her hometown of Brockville to open Podium Sports Therapy in 2006 and started from scratch again in 2015 with Skyward Active Health Centre.

Shannon has been blessed to have the support of her family and friends throughout these business ventures. She has now expanded her physiotherapy services to include home care, clinical and virtual physiotherapy. She has also been expanding her knowledge in marketing, social media and website design to help Skyward move forward in this high-tech world.

Shannon also decided to put her life into print as she published "Your Sky, Your Limit?" in June 2024.  Her book describes her dreams as she grew up in rural Eastern Ontario and follows her journey through her career and motherhood. It focuses on the expectations of women in this world and what she has learned as she navigates the ups and downs of life.
