B SC Physiotherapy, BFA
IMS (CGIMS), Manipulative therapy (FCAMPT)
I feel very fortunate to have found my way to our profession. I thought about it in high school
but at the time I was smitten by the arts and pursued a career in dance and theatre. It was fun
but I came to my senses in my mid 30s and headed off to physio school at UBC. By that time I
was the old guy in my class but honestly loved (almost) every minute of it. In the interim I had
explored dance, yoga and fitness and had become a keen mountain guy. I had experienced
more injuries than most of my contemporaries. I often joke that my body is my laboratory of
dysfunction. There won’t be much that anyone comes to see me with that I have not already
experienced.
My goal with my clients is to not only help them get through the current injury but to teach
them what they need to know to try to prevent the next.
Spoiler alert - strength and flexibility
are critical. I do give homework. In my work I use IMS, joint manipulation, soft tissue release
and exercise to guide you to a state musculoskeletal health.
