Matt completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2013 at Dalhousie University. During that time, he also worked with both Women’s Rugby and Men’s Hockey Varsity programs at Saint Mary’s University as a student trainer. As well he was as a research assistant at Dalhousie University. The focus of the research was on the effects of osteoarthritis on the hips and knees, and how osteoarthritis affects an individuals’ mobility and gait. These experiences led him back to Dalhousie University to complete his Master of Science in Physiotherapy in 2016. He has continued his training with post-grad courses in Manual and Manipulation Therapy, Functional Dry Needling, Shockwave Therapy, and Osteoarthritis Management and Rehabilitation. He uses these skills to help people recover after joint surgery, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and in managing osteoarthritis. During a patient’s assessment and treatments, their goals are discussed and addressed step by step. Treatment progress is based on the individual’s needs, and will include a mix of rehabilitation exercises, hands-on therapy, and other methods as needed. When away from the clinic, Matt spends his time playing with his dog Maggie, camping, or gardening
