Sandy first graduated from the University of Waterloo with an Honours degree in Kinesiology and worked a number of years as a Certified Kinesiologist and Ergonomic Consultant, before he returned to academics at McMaster University to obtain his Master’s of Science in Physiotherapy. Since graduating from McMaster, he has worked primarily in a private orthopaedic setting treating spinal/peripheral joint dysfunctions, sports injuries, and chronic pain. Sandy continued to pursue a diverse post graduate education having completed post graduate courses in manual therapy, acupuncture, mechanical diagnosis and treatment (MDT/McKenzie), Mulligan concepts, the manual treatment of the nervous system, and exercise prescription. He has successfully obtained his CAFCI certification in acupuncture, as well as his “Gunn” Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS) certification. Sandy has also completed his Level 3 Manual Therapy courses through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. In addition to orthopaedics, Sandy has taken post-graduate courses and training in diabetes management, osteoporosis management, and vestibular rehabilitation. He continues to advance his knowledge and skills in these specialized areas. Sandy is an avid runner and also enjoys competitive and recreational sports. This has lead to additional courses in treatment and prevention of running injuries; as well as golfing injuries, where he has obtained his Level 5 FitforeGolf certification. Within all aspects of his practice, Sandy strongly believes education is central to his patients becoming active participants in their treatment and recovery. His treatment approach includes the use of manual therapy (the mobilization and manipulation of muscles, nerves and joints), augmented with focused active exercise, and when appropriate acupuncture or “Gunn” Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS) needling.
